About this manual

This manual provides step-by-step instructions for installing and operating the Geotech Interface Probe with ORS-Style Frame, a handheld device for measuring depth to water or oil in tanks or wells. It covers system description, installation, operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and specifications for small, large, and chemical-resistant probe models. The device includes a measuring tape, housing, and grounding clip for safety and accuracy in field applications.

The probe uses optical and conductivity sensors to detect liquid/air interfaces and distinguish between water and hydrocarbons. It is designed for use in wells or tanks and features a trigger-style brake lever, automatic sleep mode, and intrinsic safety compliance. The manual includes component details, installation steps, and specifications for probe materials, weights, and accuracy.
