INSTRUCTIONS SPECIFIC TO HAZARDOUS AREA INSTALLATIONS
(Reference European ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, Annex II, 1.0.6.)
The following instructions apply to equipment covered by certificate numbers SIRA05ATEX2209X:
The equipment may be located where flammable gases and vapours of group IIB may be present.
The equipment has not been assessed as a safety-related device (as referred to by Directive 2014/34/EU Annex
II, clause 1.5).
Installation of this equipment shall be carried out by suitably trained personnel in accordance with the applicable
code of practice (EN 60079-14 within Europe).
Repair of this equipment shall be carried out by the manufacturer or in accordance with the applicable code of
practice (IEC 60079-19).
If the equipment is likely to come into contact with aggressive substances, then it is the responsibility of the user
to take suitable precautions that prevent it from being adversely affected, thus ensuring that the type of
protection is not compromised.
The Dipmeter has been certified to Hazardous Area Classification
II 2 G Ex ia IIB T4 Gb
Whilst the probe and tape may be inserted into environments that have an ambient temperature of
up to 85 °C, the reel shall not be used in an environment that has an ambient temperature that
exceeds 40 °C
ONLY use Duracell battery MN1604.
Electrostatic Warning: The reel and tape shall only be cleaned with a damp cloth.
The meter may be used outdoors; however, it should not be used in positions where it may be
subjected to long periods of inclement weather without further protection.
Note: This product has an auto-power off facility and will switch off five minutes after last use. Any
maintenance must be carried out in a safe area.

Operating notes
To power on the dipmeter, press and release the ON/OFF button, the meter will beep briefly. It will remember
the last sensitivity setting when switched on.
To power off the meter, press and hold the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds. It will power off automatically if not
used within 5 minutes.
Sensitivity
If you are using the dipmeter in pure water, you may have to increase the sensitivity, to do this, press the +
button.
If you are using the dipmeter in cascading or saline water, you may have to decrease the sensitivity, to do this,
press the –button.
Reel Lock
To lock the reel, turn the plastic knob on the rear clockwise until locked.
Equipment Check
Test circuit and battery by pressing the ON button. Make sure the panel securing knobs are tight. If the
unit does not sound, replace the battery (one 9 volt Duracell battery MN1604) in the drawer on the
faceplate and repeat.
Test the tape and probe by shorting out the centre conductor and probe body on the stud on the back
axle of the unit. The buzzer and light should activate; if not, adjust the sensitivity and repeat. Make sure
the unit is on.
Test the unit in tap water before going out to the field. DO NOT use distilled or de-ionised water.
Use in the Field
Note: Ensure that the panel securing nuts are tight before use.
Reel the tape down the well carefully, avoiding the edge of the casing. Hang the unit on the casing, where
possible, and run the tape over the frame leg to avoid cuts and nicks.
When the unit sounds, carefully measure the depth to water from your reference point by slowly
lowering and raising the probe to the air/water interface. Raise the probe, shake off the water and repeat
the measurement. In wells with cascading water, reduce the sensitivity by pressing the (-) button to avoid
false signals.
The probe is rated to full depth and can be used to measure depth to the bottom of the well. Reel the
tape until the probe touches the bottom and the tape becomes slack. DO NOT let the probe fall under
gravity or it will be damaged when it hits the bottom of the well. DO NOT use the unit to measure sand
backfill as the tape and probe may get "locked" in the backfill.
Wind the tape back onto the reel, removing any excess moisture and dirt.
Note: Intermittent beep indicates unit ON. Beeping shuts off automatically 5 minutes after last use.

Cleaning the Dipmeter
Always clean the meter after use in the field to maintain optimal performance and extend the life of the
unit.
Unwind the tape and probe and wash with a mild detergent. Rinse well, wipe and rewind onto the reel.
The tape and probe can be cleaned and degreased with the following: soap solution, naptha alcanox 10%,
detergent 10%, Lestoil; methyl, isopropyl and isobutyl alcohols; hexane, heptane and fully halogenated
freon. Rinse thoroughly with water afterwards.
Wash reel if necessary. The central electronic panel can be removed and the reel washed down.
Unthread the panel securing knobs and carefully pull out the central panel. Disconnect the panel from
the tape. The reel may be cleaned with the following: soap solution, naptha alcanox 10%, Fantastic,
Windex, Joy, Top Job, Mr. Clean, Formula 409; hexane, heptane, white kerosene, mineral spirits; methyl,
isopropyl, isobutyl and 1 + 3 denatured alcohols; freons TF + TE. Rinse well with water and let it dry
before putting the panel back in. Do NOT use abrasives, partially halogenated hydrocarbons or ketones to
clean the reel.
If you remove the central electronic panel, please ensure you do so in a safe area.
Trouble Shooting
No Sound when the unit is tested
Check the battery by pressing the ON/OFF button. Replace the battery if it’s low and make sure the panel
securing knobs are tight. If the unit still does not sound, remove the central panel and check all of the
connections.
Check probe conductor to make sure it is clean and not crusted with mineral deposits. Check tape/probe
connection for any breaks.
Continuous Sound when the unit is turned on or probe removed from water
Make sure probe conductor tip is clean.
Check for excess moisture on the back of the electronic panel.
Check probe/tape connection and tape for any breaks or leaks where water might get in.
To test the system
Firstly, set the sensitivity to 8, hold the probe centre pin against the stud on the back of the reel axle, and at the
same time, touch the probe body against the screw on the frame. The buzzer will sound if the system is ok.

WEEE COMPLIANCE
The wheelie bin symbol displayed on equipment supplied by QED Environmental Systems Limited signifies that
the apparatus must not be disposed of through the normal municipal waste stream but through a registered
recycling scheme.
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive (WEEE) makes producers responsible from July 1st 2007
in meeting their obligations, with the fundamental aim of reducing the environmental impact of electrical and
electronic equipment at the end of its life.
QED is now registered with the Environmental Agency as a producer and has joined a recycling scheme provider
who will manage and report on our electrical waste on the company’s behalf.
When your instrument is at the end of its life, please contact the QED sales team who will advise you on the next
step in order to help us meet our WEEE obligations.
