PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Well Sounder 2010 PRO is a simple to use self-contained portable acoustic
ranging instrument designed specifically to find the distance through a well casing or
sounding tube to the water surface. However, it also can be used to measure any
closed pipe, straight or crooked.
The product consists of a control unit and a probe. The control unit contains the driver
electronics, processor, display, keypad and 6 AA batteries. Internal non-volatile
memory is included to record system settings, calibration data, and log data. A real-
time clock/calendar is also included to time stamp the recorded log data. The RS232
port can be set to output data to a remote device or used as a bidirectional
communications interface to a computer for remote programming or data download. A
power jack allows the unit to be run from an optional AC adapter or battery pack. An
optional flow meter can also be connected, read and recorded by the data logger.
The 2010 PRO version offers enhanced features in addition to those above, such as a
SB port for easy connection to a computer for downloading log data, and greatly
expanded memory. Log data on the 2010 PRO is separated into easy to identify
windows compatible files sorted by well ID. The PRO version also offers enhanced
power save functions such as Auto-off and the ability to provide an alarm output, a 0-5
volt analog voltages as well as a 4-20 ma current loop output.

The probe contains a pulse generator, a microphone and a temperature sensor. The
probe is designed to easily attach to a standard well cap vent opening while also
allowing the display unit to be operated in a convenient location up to 6 feet away.
The Well Sounder works by transmitting a sound pulse into the pipe, then measuring
the time it takes for the echo to return. The distance is calculated using the sound
speed and the time. Since the sound speed changes with temperature, a temperature
sensor is included in the probe to adjust for variations.
There are many advanced features included in this unit, however, none are required for
basic depth measurement. Simply press the ON button and the unit powers up in the
depth measurement mode. After a few seconds, read the depth to the water on the
display. Other features can be found by pressing the SET or DISP buttons.
Several accessories are available for the Well Sounder 2010 PRO which can be found
