2 DESCRIPTION
The LHC and LHM models consist of a recorder module (which, for the LHC model, incorporates a
modem) and a probe (ref. SFP).
As standard, a “whip” type antenna is provided with LHM models.
They are designed for standalone water level and water temperature measurement. Particularly
suitable for drilling hole and piezometer measurement, they can be configured using
the “IHM Capteurs” from PARATRONIC (see : instructions I158F).
3 MODELS AND OPTIONS
SFP probes: These probes are used for level (pressure) and temperature measurement. Several
measurement ranges are available:
SFP 10: measurement range 0 – 10m
SFP 40: measurement range 0 – 40m
SFP 90: measurement range 0 – 90m
SFP 150: measurement range 0 – 150m
The cable length is defined when ordering.

LH(C/M) recorder modules: These are units including the power battery, recorder and, optionally,
the modem. Two models are available:
LHM: version without modem.
LHC: version with integrated modem.
Antennas for LHC: The LHC model includes a 2G / GPRS / 3G modem and therefore needs to be
connected to an antenna. There are two antenna types:
Whip antenna: supplied as standard with each LHC.
“Pad” antenna: antenna supplied as an option.

6 INSTALLATION
The LH(C/M) sensor can, depending on the options selected, be supplied with (LHC) or without
(LHM) an antenna, and with or without a mounting bracket (ref. “LH EQUERRE”). For the LHC, the
antenna supplied as standard is a “whip” antenna; as an option, a “pad” antenna can be supplied
(ref. “LH ANTGAL”). Therefore, different mounting and assembly possibilities are available
according to the equipment and options selected.
6.1 PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND USE:
The recorder module (LH(C/M)) and its associated probe (SFP) are measuring instruments.
Therefore, they must be handled with caution and care. All transportation must be carried out in the
original packaging.
Products must not receive shocks and must not be subjected to severe pressure or temperature
variations.
The probe measurement cell is an active and sensitive component. For this reason, the probe must
be set up (submerged) with caution. Pressure must never be exerted on the cell with a tool, and the
cell must never be cleaned with a corrosive substance. In the event of fouling, it is recommended to
simply rinse with water.
The LH(C/M) recorder module makes an atmospheric pressure measurement. The pressure
measuring port is located on the bottom of the module, next to the connector intended for the
sensor. Please ensure that this port is never blocked.
Always respect the temperature and pressure operating limits associated with the model used
(refer to the “SPECIFICATIONS” section).

6.2 CONNECTING THE WHIP ANTENNA TO THE LHC:
Position the whip antenna opposite the metallic connector of the LHC:
Fasten the antenna onto the connector using the ring provided for this purpose:
6.3 INSTALLING THE PAD ANTENNA AND CONNECTING IT TO THE LHC:
The pad antenna should be mounted on a horizontal surface. For this purpose, drill a 15mm
diameter hole in the surface selected.
