Figure36 Calibration Complete screen
To remove the updated calibration values, highlight Restore Defaults on the Water Pump
Calibration screen and press Enter.
Operators may run the calibration sequence as frequently as necessary to verify accurate
readings. Once the calibration is complete, the new value stores in SATURO firmware until
the next new calibration setting.
4.2 MAINTENANCE
Replacement parts can be ordered from METER. Contact Customer Support for more
information. The instrument can be sent in to update tubing, replace battery, inspect system,
and clean instrument. SATURO may also be returned to METER for maintenance and any old or
damaged parts will be replaced as a part of the maintenance program.
NOTE: Complimentary maintenance lasts for 1 year; Customer Support can provide parts and labor cost estimates
after this timeframe. See METER Terms and Conditions (Section 4.5) for more information.
Properly clean the equipment after each use to ensure the longevity of SATURO.
• Remove any soil on the insertion ring to reduce the amount of resistance when installing
the insertion ring.
• Remove soil particles and other materials on the infiltrometer head.
• Wipe down the three tubes with a wet rag.
• Inspect the insertion ring after each use for dents and dings incidental to normal use from
hitting rocks and hard roots. It is important to file away any dents or dings to the bottom
edge of the ring so the inner part of the ring is smooth. Dings and dents protruding towards
the inner portion of the ring can create channels and will allow for preferential flow.
• Purge water from water pump or run dry air through the tubing to dry out the control unit.
• Charge the control unit after each use.
The water pump on the SATURO is a peristaltic pump with a replaceable cartridge that
houses the tube and rollers. The tubing and rollers can wear out over time, typically around
5,000 hours of run time. The pump run time is tracked in the diagnostics screen of SATURO.
