2.2.2 STARTING A TEST
1. On the Test Setup screen, select Start.
The infiltrometer displays a message to check tubing and connections.
2. Press Enter to begin the test.
The infiltrometer will pump water from the water tank until the water level reaches 5 cm.
It then begins the soak time, while maintaining a level of 5 cm.
The graph feature displays incremental data during a test. The infiltrometer records a data
point every minute throughout the duration of the test.
3. It is not necessary to supervise the system during a test, but check the water level
intermittently to ensure a constant supply.
Test results will display automatically at the end of the test (Figure5).
NOTE: See Section 3.2.1 for details on viewing graphs of flux, water level, and pressure.
