Deployment
5.2 Deployment in Open Waters
5.2.1 Minimum Clearance Requirements
Two inches of clearance is required from the longest probe and two inches around if a
Turbidity sensor is supplied.
5.2.2 Long-term Deployment in Open Waters
Important Note: The use of pipe clamps to secure the Sonde can cause serious
instrument damage.
When using the multiprobe in open water, place the multiprobe where it will not get
damaged. For example, to protect the multiprobe from being hit by floating debris in
moderate-to high-flow levels, anchor the multiprobe to the downstream side of a bridge
piling (Figure 7). The protection kit can also be used to protect the multiprobe. In a
recreational lake deployment, use a marking buoy that will not attract vandalism.
Place the multiprobe in an upright or on-side position, and avoid areas with deposits of
sand, gravel, or silt during heavy rainfall. Avoid deploying in location where ice will form
around the sensors or Sonde.
