What to do if the METER Measuring Instruments control unit shows low battery?
This error appears when the battery voltage drops below the minimum voltage required for the water pump to operate (11.1 V) during a test, which then stops the test. To resolve this, ensure the battery is fully charged by charging it.
What to do if the METER Measuring Instruments infiltrometer does not maintain pressure?
If the infiltrometer does not maintain pressure, try the following: 1. Remove the infiltrometer head and check for any debris (such as grass, leaves, or loose soil) where the gasket seals with the insertion ring. 2. Check the tightness of the clamps, ensuring they apply only enough pressure to slightly compress the gasket. 3. Inspect tubing connections to ensure tubes are fully inserted into the push-to-connect fittings.
What to do if the METER Measuring Instruments shows 'Pressure limit exceeded!'?
The 'Pressure limit exceeded!' error occurs when the air pressure in the chamber is over 60.0 cm or below ?50.0 cm, which stops the test. To fix this, check the tubing for any kinks or blockages that may be causing the pressure issue.
What to do if the METER Measuring Instruments temperature is too high?
The 'Temperature too high!' error appears when the air temperature exceeds the maximum operating temperature (50 °C) during a test, causing the test to stop. To resolve this, move the system to a cooler environment, ensuring it is out of direct sunlight. Once cooled, power the system off and then on again to clear the message.
What to do if the METER Measuring Instruments temperature is too low?
The 'Temperature too low!' error occurs when the air temperature falls below the minimum operating temperature (0 °C) during a test, which can cause damage due to water freezing in the system and will stop the test. To fix this, move the system to a warmer environment. After the system has warmed up, turn the power off and on again to clear the message.
What to do if the METER Measuring Instruments test failed to reach the target water level?
If a test fails to reach the target water level, check for leaks around the seal of the infiltrometer head.
What to do if METER Measuring Instruments control unit becomes unresponsive?
If the control unit becomes unresponsive, press and hold the BACK button for more than 7 seconds to restart it.
What to do if METER Measuring Instruments shows 'Water level error!'?
If you encounter a 'Water level error!', check that the water supply is connected and that water can easily flow from the water supply through the control unit into the infiltrometer head.
What to do if the METER Measuring Instruments date and time were reset?
If the date and time were reset, ensure the battery is fully charged and update the date and time in the Settings menu.
What to do if METER Measuring Instruments shows 'Selected pressure heads are not being reached'?
If the selected pressure heads are not being reached and there are no apparent leaks, and if the SATURO is on a slope that may be too great, preventing the water level from reaching the sensor, try sampling a new location or adding a second water supply to proceed with the measurements.
