A.
Remove bearing mount assembly as per Section 4.4. Loosen set screws(21) in magnet assembly (4), lift shaft (7) and collar (3) up and out of bearing mount (2). Be sure to retain lower spacer (19) Insert a right-angle type of toot such as an alien wrench into bearing, cock it slightly to one side and remove bearing. Remove both hearings. Clean bearing seats. Install new bearings. Be careful not to introduce dirt particles into bearings. CLEAN WANDS ONLY! DO NOT ADD LUBRICATION OF ANY KIND. Reassemble the Sensor in reverse order. Be sure to include spacers (19) over the bearings when repbcing the shaft in the bearing mount. After t h e magnet assembly (4) has been tightened, a barely perceptible amount of endplay sho~ild be fe!t when the shaft is moved up and down (approximately ,004 inch).

083C SERIES RELATIVE HUMlDlTY/TEMPERATURESENSORS
1.0 1. I
GENERAL INFORMATION I h e 083C Sensor contains an extremely accurate and sensitive relative humidity sensor which responds to the full range of 0-100% humidity. Response is linear with small hysteresis and negligible temperature dependence. The sensor is designed to be housed in a radiation shield when used outdoors. Certain models also contain a high-accuracy linearized air temperature sensor, permitting simultaneous measurement of relative humidity and temperature. The Sensor Cable uses quick-connect connectors with vinyl-jacketed shielded cable. Cable length is given in -XX feet on each cable part number. The cable part number depends on which radiation sheld the sensor is mounted in. The 083C-17-1 sensor is mounted in the 071 Radiation Shield and uses the 1873-XX cable. The 083C-17-35 is mounted in the 0738 or 075B Radiation Shield and uses a 2348-XX cable. Both of these cables are documented at the end of this manual section. The 083C-17-6 sensor mounts in the 0768 Radiation Shield and uses a 2144-XX cable, which is documented in the 076B manual section.

To verify correct wiring and as a rough test of sensor operation, blow on the sensor. The relative humidity will rise to a higher level. The Relative Humidity Sensor has been calibrated at the factory and will not change unless it is damaged. To check for proper operation of the sensor it is advised that the output signal be checked against a local weather service facility. Exact correlation is not to be expected due to atmospheric and geographical variations.

083 Relative Humidity Sensor Maintenance and Calibration
Warning:
The sensor can be miscalibrated or permanently damaged through improper acts. Do not attempt a repair or calibration if you are unsure of the procedure. Do not touch if you do not know how. This instrument should operate for an extended period of time with a minimum of care or maintenance. If parts or maintenance assistance are required, contact Met One Instruments Inc. Obtain shipping instructions before returning any unit.
A.
Maintenance Cleaning the Sensor Element. Unscrew the filter. Dust and other particles may be removed by gently blowing on the sensor chip. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR. After dusting, the sensor element may be wiped clean with a soft brush dipped in distilled water. DO NOT USE DETERGENTS. DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE SENSOR WHEN CLEANING, and do not re-connect power to the sensor until the element has dried. CAUTION: NEVER TOUCH THE SENSOR CHIP WITH BARE HANDS.
The life of the sensor is related to the environment in which it operates. In a pure air and water vapor surrounding, the sensor element will have an indefinite life. The presence of chemical pollutants in the environment may corrode the materials of the sensor chip. The polymer material is resistant to most chemical attacks, but the metal electrodes, are sensitive to corrosion effects, particularly when a DC voltage is applied to the sensor. The most harmful pollutant has been sulphur dioxide absorption in small soot particles. When such particles fall on the thin metal electrode, they may, if water condensation is present, form traces of sulphuric acid to corrode the surface of the sensor. For these reasons, a careful cleaning as described in the preceding paragraph is recommended whenever the sensor has been exposed to corrosive pollutants. Also, a periodic cleaning every two weeks with an atomizer of distilled water, thoroughly washing the chip clean, may remove harmful particles before they can damage the sensor. Be sure that no power is applied when washing the chip and that power remains off until after the chip has dried. Replacement of Sensor Element. If the sensor element has been damaged, it can be easily replaced. Disconnect power to the probe. Unscrew the sintered bronze filter. Un-solder the old chip and solder a new one in its place. The sensor chip is very delicate, so observe the following precautions. DO NOT TOUCH THE CHIP WITH BARE HANDS. Handle the chip only by gripping its lead with pliers. When soldering, hold the lead with the pliers to prevent the heat from the soldering operation from damaging the chip. Do not bump the chip when reinstating the protective grid.
3.
B.
After replacement of the sensor element, the humidity probe must be recalibrated.
Humiditv Probe Calibratio~.

1.
Before attempting to recalibrate the probe, make sure that the translator module containing the signal conditioning electronics is still properly calibrated. If 0% and 100% do not produce corresponding readings on the indicator, recalibrate the translator module. The calibration method described in this instruction manual is based on the constant water vapor pressure over saturated salt solutions and constant temperature. Materials used for the calibration are Lithium Chloride (LiCI) and Sodium Chloride (NaCI). The former creates a humidity of approximately 13% and the latter approximately 76% in 68F (20C) ambient temperature. Both of these chemical agents are available from drug stores, pharmacies, and other chemical suppliers. To guarantee accurate calibration, the salts must be of high purity.

TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:

2 Calibration Bottles:
HM-111-CG-L and HM-111-CB-N Lithium Chloride Salts, Reagent Grade 1 Sodium Chloride, Reagent Grade 1 Thermometer to measure ambient temperature Distilled water

Open the bottle which has the label LiCI. Pour Lithium Chloride into the bottle up to the level marked by the line on the bottle. Slowly pour distilled water over the chloride until all the chloride is thoroughly wet and a clear layer of water can be noticed above the chloride. Close the bottle tightly and check that the rubber plug is tight in its sleeve on the cork. Let the bottle cool down to ambient temperature, so that the liquid and the atmosphere above the liquid in the bottle has the same temperature as the room atmosphere. The relative humidity value is than about 13% RH. For accurate work, let the cooling go on for 24 hours.
Sodium Chloride: 76% RH

4.
Open the other bottle marked NaCI. Pour sodium chloride into the bottle up to the level marked by the line on the bottle. Pour distilled water over the chloride until a 1 cm. thick layer of water is above the chloride. Close the bottle tightly and wait for 24 hours. After that time, the relative humidity should be approximately 97%.
The calibration bottles can be used for up to one year without changing fresh chemicals. The bottles should be stored in a place with constant temperature, so as to have them ready for use with just a short preparation time. It is not necessary to shake the bottle with salt solution before use. Care should be taken to see that there are no droplets of salt solution inside the mouth piece of the bottle. This might affect the accuracy of the calibration. Do not get any salt solution on the sensor element directly.

1.
Unscrew the sintered bronze filter. Do not bump the sensor element while removing the grid. Take the lithium chloride (LiCI) bottle, pull out its rubber plug, and push the sensor probe in its place in the cork's sleeve. The sleeve fitted with a safety flange prohibits the probe from falling through. Read the ambient room temperature. Note the humidity percentage from the lithium chloride calibration table, which corresponds to the temperature in question. After 1 hour, read the humidity value, If the reading differs from the table value, adjust R15, zero adjust. After use, close the bottle tightly with the rubber plug.

Model 370C/372C Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge is an accurate, sensitive and lowmaintenance sensor designed to measure rainfall on a continuous basis. Water does not collect in the sensor, but is drained each time an internal bucket fills with 0.01 inch of rainfall (standard calibration). At this time, a switch closure pulse is also sent to the translator module or datalogger for counting. The sensor is calibrated at shipment and requires no adjustments after mounting. Sensor Cable is a vinyl-jacketed 2-conductor shielded cable connecting to the sensor via an internal terminal strip. Cable length is designated in -xx feet on each cable part number label.

Each model in the series is optimized to meet a particular site and sampling requirement.
The Model 370 Rain Gauge
Operation
A dual-chambered tipping bucket assembly is located below the collection funnel. When a precise amount of precipitation has been collected in one side of the bucket, gravity tips the assembly and activates a reed switch. A momentary electrical contact closure through the switch is provided for each increment of rainfall. The sample is discharged through the base of the gauge. For environments that can typically expect a significant amount of frozen precipitation, internal sensor heaters are available. The heating elements are thermostatically controlled to melt and measure the water content of snow and frozen rain, but to avoid evaporative loss. the sample. The bucket pivots are precision machined and fitted with jeweled bearings to reduce wear and friction. The funnel is powder coated aluminum and has two screens for preventing leaves and other debris from entering or clogging the gauge. A circular bubble-level and adjustable feet facilitate proper mounting of the unit. Major components are finished in catalyzed polyurethane paint, with a color and texture chosen to allow the sensor to blend into the environment.
Construction

096-1 SOLAR WADlATlOM SENSOR
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Model 096-1 Solar Radiation Sensor is an accurate and sensitive sensor using a LICOR sensing element and designed for the continous measurement of solar radiation. Typically, the sensor is mounted with the 1259 Mounting Plate. Spectral Response. The relative spectral response of the silicon photodiode does not extend uniiormly o w the full solar radiation range, A. typical respcnse ciirve is presentee' In Figure 1 . I . .The response is very low at 0.4 pm and then iccreases nearly linear to a cutoff near 1 .I pm. Chani;es in the spectral distribution of the incident lighr, coupled with the non-uniform spectral respoiise, can cause errors in the photodiode output. Hull3 shows that in the 0.4 to 0.7 pm range, the spectral distribution of sun plus sky radiation on a horizonial sirrfsse is remarkably constant even when clear and overcasi days are ccmpared. However, Gates' indicates that the major change in spectral distribution of solar radiation occurs in the near infared where water vapor absorption takes place on cloudy days. Data collected at low solar elevations can show sig~ificant error because of aitered spectral distribution which changes in atmospheric Iransmission. This is a small part oi the daiiy total so the possible observed error usually has an insignificant effect on daily integrations. The area under the spectral irradiance curve of the source is dirzctiy porportional to the energy received by a horizontal surfsce. Under specific but typic4 conditions, energy received on a completeiy overcast day has beer, estimated to be 11.3% of that received on a clear day, Wheri both spectral distributions are weighied according te a typical responsa curve of a silicon photodiode, the response on this cloudy day is 12.6% Therefore, errors incurred under different sky conditions, due to the spectral response of the photodiode, will be smail. The field tests of Federer and Tanner1 and Kerr, Thurteil and Tanner4 confirm this conclusion. Calibration. The 096-1 Pyranometer has been calibrated against an Eppley Precision Spectral Pyramonmeter (PSP) of which the calibration is periodically confirmed. The calibration was performed under daylight conditions by a computer sampling of instantaneous readings from the Eppley and LI-COR gyranometers. Instantaneous readings were taken continuously for 10 minutes and then averaged. Sequential ten minute averaging periods were run from sunup to sundown for 3-4 days. These ten minute averages were then evaluated and used to compute an average calibration constant. The uncertainty of calibration is f 5%. Table 1-1 Model 096-1 Solar Radiation Sensor Specifications Calibration Calibrated against an Eppley Pyranometer under natural daylight clear conditions. Absolute accuracy under these conditions is k5%. All sensors are calibrated to wiihin 1% of each other. *

Solar Radiation Sensors

Solar energy is a significant element in large-scale atmospheric motion, and as a result, it has an important place in meteorology. It is directly related to atmospheric stability, and is used in determining stability classes for pollution studies. Met One Instruments supplies solar sensors to meet virtually any monitoring requirement.
Model 095 Pyranometer

The Model 095 Pyranometer incorporates a multi-junction differential thermopile and a precision ground optical glass hemisphere which is transparent to wavelengths 0.285 to 2.80 microns. It is used for high precision, broad band width measurements of incident solar radiation.
The Model 095 Pyranometer
Features
s Differential thermopile
detector
s High accuracy, broad
bandwidth
s Temperature compensated s Rapid response time s Built-in leveling devices
The detector element is of wirebound-plated construction with black and white segments. When exposed to solar radiation, the differing absorptivity of the black and white surfaces develops a temperature differential. The thermopile then produces a voltage proportional to the solar radiation. Built-in thermistor circuitry is incorporated to eliminate the effects of ambient temperature.
The single hemispherical optical glass dome has a waterproof seal, but can easily be removed for repairs. The case is cast aluminum, painted white, and is fitted with a desiccator, circular level, and leveling screws. A mounting base with a vertical 3/4 IPS pipe simplifies field installation of the sensor. This rugged instrument is capable of withstanding mechanical vibrations of up to 20 Gs.

Evaporation Gauge Tester ........... Optional 1.4 To aid the user in the set-up, testing, and reading measurements of the evaporation gauge, NovaLynx has developed a hand-held tester, Model 255-1 10. The tester connects to the evaporation gauge output signal terminal block and converts the sensor's resistance into a Direct Reading of the evaporation pan water level in inches. The tester features an easy-to-read LCD and a mode selection switch. The tester is self-contained and battery-powered, Refer to the operator's manual for the tester for additional information.

Auto
........ Optional
Evaporation gauges are often used with data loggers to collect and store the data at the gauge location until the data is to be transmitted or transferred to the operator's main computer. Novalynx has created an automatic evaporation pan refill device, Model 255-620. If a water supply line or water tank is available at the site, 255-620 will turn on the water, until the pan is refilled to a level of 8 inches. This can be set for daily, weekly, or every few days. The refill occurs at the time that is Set. NovaLynx recommends using a time such as midnight for the refill time, Refer to the automatic refill manual for more information.

Carefully unpack ail of the evaporation gauge. Remove the top cover. The fifty foot cable, and float with chain and counter-weight: are shipped inside the bottom of the gauge housing. Remove the cable assembly from the housing. The float cannot be removed, without removing the PotiGear Assembly housing Use caution when removing packing materials and parts from inside the gauge. Take care to avoid hitting the potentiometer sprocket wheel.
The Novalynx Evaporation Gauge water reservoir is physically connected to the pan by using a 112" diameter pipe. Threaded couplings are provided on both the pan and the gauge. Typically, 112" rigid water pipe is used to connect the gauge to the pan. Flexible tubing may be used, provided it does not deteriorate in outdoor weather conditions. The gauge should be placed far enough away from the pan and on the North side to avoid casting any shadows or reflections inside or onto the sides of the pan. Shadows will affect the evaporation process. Both the evaporation pan and the gauge need to be as level as possible in order to maximize the amount of water that can be poured into and measured in the pan. A level pan will provide uniform exposure of the water to the atmosphere, eliminating uneven depths of water. The site should be /eve1and free of nearby obstructions that can cast shadows or reflect sunlight onto the evaporation pan. The pan should be placed upon a wooden platform over soil typical of the area. Level the platform before installing the pan. Place the pan so that the water pipe fitting faces the evaporation gauge. A second platform for mounting the gauge may be needed in order to place the bottom of the gauge at the same elevation as the pan.
3.3
Levelin
\
Level the gauge by adjusting the three leveling screws located on the triangular base. With the top cover removed, place a carpenter's levei across the opening and check the level. Adjust the screws until the air bubble in the level is centered. After leveling the gauge look down inside the stillwell to make certain that the float and chain hang down straight and are centered in the gauge. The float must be free to move up and down without making contact with the sides of the gauge.
3.4
Testing for Leaks
After connecting the gauge to the pan and all electrical connections are in place, fill the evaporation pan with the desired amount of water and carefully check all of the joints for leaks. Using Teflon tape or plumbers pipe joint compound at each threaded coupling will help prevent leaks.
3.5
iring
Whenever the gauge is to be used with other equipment, the output signal wiring may vary depending upon the way that the gauge is to be used. The signal and power wires are connected into the gauge through a three-pin terminal block. The terminal block is mounted onto the side of the potentiometer housing. To access the terminal block, the cover must be removed from the gauge. Four screws hold the cover in place. The signal cable is terminated with three spade lugs. The spade lugs are attached to the screws of the terminal block. Refer to the gauge schematic to obtain wiring details. The opposite end of the cable will generally not have a connector attached to it unless one has been ordered for a specific purpose, The ends of the wires will be stripped and tinned. Refer to the table presented below for wiring details.

The evaporation gauge potentiometer exhibits a varying resistance in response to the motion of the float. Applying a voitage across the potentiometer allows monitoring of the gauge by a data logger or any other electronic voltage sensing instrument. The output signal of the potentiometer can be configured to give an increasing or a decreasing voltage with regards to the changing level of the water. For most systems provided by NovaLynx, the signal is configured so that a decrease in the water level is represented by a decrease in the gauge voltage. The Gauge Will Never Read below 1.4" This is when the float physically hits the Bottom of the Gauge, and there is still 1.4" of water present. Normal Range is Typically is 3" to 8.5 or 9" , above 9" wind could blow water over the edges, below 3" the Low level of water absorbs more heat from the sun & Bottom Pan Reflections,causing Increased Evaporation
Note: that during winter months when the water may freeze, NovaLynx recommends draining the pan and storing the pan and the evaporation gauge indoors.
Proper calibration of the evaporation gauge is critical to the accuracy of the data as well as to the correct operation of the gauge. Calibration of the gauge is required upon initial installation of the gauge and whenever the gauge is removed from its platform or from inside the evaporation pan. The evaporation gauge must be calibrated in order to set the operating range of the potentiometer and to determine the zero point of the float motion. For data logging systems, the slope and intercept data will be measured or calculated from the calibration of the gauge. After the gauge has been calibrated, the operator needs only to keep track of the amount of water added back into the evaporation pan. With the gauge calibrated, the gauge may be used to measure the amount of water added into the pan each week. The following procedure is used to properly calibrate the evaporation gauge. Record the calibration values whenever possible in order to check the gauge calibration during the year. Upon completion of the gauge and pan installation, fill the evaporation pan with approximately eight inches of water. The water height can be checked by using a ruler or a tape measure. Check the evaporation gauge to ensure that the water has filled the stillwell to the correct height inside the gauge. Disconnect the signal cable from the evaporation gauge. Use a digital ohmmeter to and measure the resistance of the pot. across terminal block pins (2) middle (+) (3) bottom (-). Rotate the sprocket and you will notice the resistance value changes from 0 to 1000 ohms. Rotate the sprocket slowly until the reading jumps to a floating condition or reads 0. This is the dead band it has a mechanical range of about 20". Some pots may be exactly I K ohm, but most will vary by 5 15 ohms There is a white kine marked on the back side of the sprocket. When this line is Vertical the pot shouie be in the 20" Gap Area. Check to make certain that the float is hanging down near the center of the evaporation gauge. As viewe face sf the sprocket wheel, sprocket wheel with the counter-weight to the left side of the wheel. A White Line is painted on the Back of the Sprocket, When Viewed from the Back side the Line should be at the 1 O'Clock or 30" when the Float is resting on the bottom of the gauge. Move the float by hand down toward the bottom of the gauge. As soon as the float contacts the bottom surface of the gauge, hold the float in position and check to see that the chain is straight and tight. The chain must not be moving nor pulled downward other than by the tension exerted by the float. Measure the resistance of the potentiometer.
The potentiometer should be at its point of low resistance for the range of motion of the pot. The resistance should be above zero ohms but may be as large as 150 ohms. If the value appears to be floating or within the deadband of the potentiometer the sprocket wheel must be adjusted with relation to the chain. The potentiometer must not cross into or go beyond the deadband as the float approaches and touches the bottom of the gauge. To adjust the sprocket, allow the float to return to the top of the water. Lift the chain off the sprocket and rotate the sprocket counter-clock-wise, one or two gear tooth positions. Replace the chain and repeat step 4.4. Repeat this step (4.5) until the chain is properly positioned on the sprocket. Observe the ohmmeter to detect any crossover of the deadband as the float is moved downward. Record the resistance of this Bottom or ZERO position of the float. If the gauge is connected into the monitoring equipment and power has been applied, measure the voltage at this position as well as the resistance, Measure the position of the center of the float with respect to the bottom of the evaporation pan for pan mounted gauges. For gauges mounted outside the pan, measure the water level inside the gauge to the center of the float. Usually, the center of the float is aligned with the center of the threaded pipe fitting on the housing when the float touches the bottom of the gauge. Move the float back to the top of the water and let go of the float. The center of the float should now be even with the surface of the water. Measure the resistance and voltage of the potentiometer at this position. Also measure the water level at this paint with respec: to the L30t:m of the pan. The resistance of the potentiometer should be high at this point and approaching the 1000 ohm end of the pot. If the chain and sprocket have been properly set, the potentiometer should not move past the 1000 ohm end of the element and stop in the deadband. If it appears that the pot is in its deadband at the top of the water level, then either the sprocket and chain must be adjusted further or else there is too much water in the pan and some water must be drained ..... Typically this Setting should be offset sligthly to avoid going into the Gap Area. When the Pan is Full to the Brim, the Resistance should be between 950 and 995 ohms When the Pan is Empty or < 1%'' Deep .... The resistance should be between 20 to 90 ohms. At this point the slope and intercept information can be generated and the operating curve of the instrument can be calculated. The operating curve can then be verified by setting the float to several points of water level and by comparing the actual output voltage to the calculated voltage. Remember the Gap is 20" therfore 340"/360 = 0.9444..... With a 5.00 volt excitation applied, A 5 Volt reading on the The formulas used are: Wiper means 9.44" Not 10.0"

where Y is inches of water, X is ohms or volts, rn is the slope of the line and b is the zero offset. For a range of 10 inches and a potentiometer resistance of 1000 ohms the calculation reveals that b = 0, and rn = 0.00944 For a range of 10 inches and a voltage range of 5 Vdc, b = 0 and
n = ;
1.88.
If the float range of motion happens to be 1.5 to 8.0 inches, then the output voltage can be calculated as 0.75 and 3.776 volts, respectively. Use the actual values measured in the preceding steps, 4.2, 4.4, 4.6, and 4.7, with the above formulas to determine the operating line of the gauge. The line should be linear allowing calculation of intermediate outputs for known positions of the float.
Always disconnect the reportinglrecording device from its power source before making any changes to the wiring connections. If possible, troubleshoot the gauge immediately whenever any of the following conditions are observed: severe weather has recently occurred; the gauge does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; the data is missing or appears to be incorrect; the gauge has been dropped or damaged; water has damaged the wiring or electronic components; water has been allowed to dry out totally in the evaporation pan.Remembera 90" Rotation on the sprocket should indicate a change ot 2.50 inches on your reportinglrecording device, 180" would be a 5.00 inch Change.
If the gauge does not register correctly, first check the power connections. Check the voltage with a voltmeter. Be sure the reportinglrecording device has been powered up correctly. If the reportinglrecording device uses batteries for it's primary source of power, check the batteries to be sure they have sufficient voltage and that they are securely in place. Check the battery terminals to ensure that they are clean and provide solid contact.
6.
Cables
Check the sensor cable connections both at the gauge and at the control unit; cable shorts or opens can cause loss of data. If a connection is found to be loose, reattach the wire and check to see if the problem has been corrected. Check for damage to the cable insulation. Replace the cable if it appears that the jacket has been worn or cut open.
Inspect the float and chain to make certain that they have not become entangled. Whenever the evaporation pan has been allowed to empty or dry out completely, the float may tip sideways at the bottom of the gauge and the chain may become kinked at the mechanical connector. Test the motion of the float to ensure that it moves smoothly and freely.
A number of naturally occurring events can influence the evaporation gauge reading and will appear as errors or as a gauge malfunction. These natural events include animals the water, birds bathing in the water, leaves and debris fallin into the pan, ed rainfall or sno during the night, thermal expansion of the high level winds, lanre water and metal parts.
Additional errors in the evaporation gauge's measurement may be related to maintenance of the evaporation pan. The pan must be kept free of algae. Plants must not be allowed to grow up and over the edges of the pan. Dirt and dust must not be allowed to accumulate inside the pan. The growth of algae in the evaporation pan can be discouraged by the addition of small amounts of copper sulphate lo the water, however, algae already present must be removed by a thorough cleaning of the pan. Most of these problems are alleviated by regular rinsincj sf the pan. In severe cases, spa chemicals may be used to combat algae, however, the addition of chemicals to the water will influence the evaporation ing months when freezing conditions are likely, ernp , clean, and store pan should be stored indoors. If it must be left in the nced enclosure, it should be turned bottom side up and secured to the platform with stout rope.

Evaporation 255-100 Analog Output Evaporation Gauge

The Model 255-100 Analog Output Evaporation Gauge is used to determine the evaporation rate by measuring the changing water level in an evaporation pan. A standard National Weather Service Class A Evaporation Pan is recommended. The instrument consists of a float, pulley, and counterweight attached to a precision 1000-ohm potentiometer mounted through a gear assembly in a weatherproof housing. The triangular base plate is equipped with three leveling screws and a bubble level. The potentiometer produces a resistance output proportional to the position of the float which can be monitored on site using a data logger or a strip chart recorder, or monitored remotely by telemetry equipment. The gauge can be placed directly in the pan, or connected to the pan by using the 255-100P/F stainless steel pipe and fittings.
