Run the program PST. Select option C in the Utilities menu.

Measure and note the water level in each well using a chalked tape,
beeper, etc.

In each well to be monitored:
- Measure the length of the pressure transducer cable to be

installed down the well.

- Install the pressure transducer in the well. Suggested method of

mounting in Figure 1-3, Section 1.

- The transducer should be placed below the maximum draw down,

but should not exceed the pressure range of the transducer.

5 psi

11.5 ft

10 psi 23 ft
15 psi 35 ft
20 psi 46 ft
30 psi 70 ft

- The caps on the external connectors on the PST are stamped

with a well number. Attach each transducer to the appropriate
external connector, starting with #1.

Set the switches to match the test configuration you have selected (see
Figure 1-6, Section 1).

The *4 table can be thought of as a look up table containing specific infor-
mation for the test, e.g. site I.D. number (to be chosen by the user), the
number of wells, sensor multiplier(s) and offset(s), etc.

If you are using a computer, escape from the program PST menu to the
DOS prompt before using the keyboard display.
