Installation
(continued)
Connect the hoses and sensor cable to the designated fittings on the
infiltrometer head. Each input and output line is purposefully a different size of
tubing to help prevent a mismatch. If a tube does not snugly fit into a connection,
it is probably in the wrong one.
Set Up the Water Tank
Fill the water tank and connect it to the control unit.
Fully open the water valve.
The water tank may not hold enough water for tests in highly permeable soils. To
use a larger container, place the tube at the bottom of the container and ensure
the tube remains underwater throughout the test.
Set Up Control Unit
Place the control unit on a stable surface.
Connect the three hoses and sensor cable to the corresponding ports on the
control unit.
Power on the control unit.
