How to Set Up a Description

Stream Gauging Station
For continuous flow monitoring of free-
flowing open channels, you can use a
WL16 Water Level Logger and a Flow
Probe (see page 22) to establish a
stream gauging station.
Install WL16
If you don’t already have a depth to
flow equation for your channel, you
will have to create one. In the mean-
time, install your WL16 at your moni-
toring site to begin collecting water
level data. To protect the sensor and
the datalogger, you can use a 2" pipe
with pre-formed sweeps that conform
to the stream bank’s contours (the sen-
sor will slide through 45° and 90°
sweeps). The pipe may be buried in
the bank, secured with rocks, or fas-
tened to the bank with large staples
made from concrete reinforcing steel.
Measure Depth and Flow
To create a depth to flow equation,
begin by using the Flow Probe to take
flow readings at different water lev-
els. To measure flows at various water
depths, you will either need to manu-
ally manipulate flows (in a controlled
setting) or measure flows over time (in
an uncontrolled setting). You should
measure at a relatively high water lev-
el, at a low level, and at several levels
in between. The more level/flow data-
points you have, the more accurate
your equation will be.
Correlate Depth to Flow
Now you can develop a table reflect-
ing your channel’s depth to flow rela-
tionship. You can enter this informa-
tion into a spreadsheet program to
calculate a rating equation for your
data trend. This rating equation can
be applied to level data downloaded
from your WL16 to calculate corre-
sponding flow data.

Global Water’s WL16 Water Level Logger
is a datalogger and submersible pressure
transducer combination designed for re-
mote monitoring and recording of water
level or pressure data. The WL16 can
record over 81,000 readings and has four
unique recording options: programmable
interval (1 second to multiple years), fast
(10 samples per second), logarithmic,
and exception. Multiple depth ranges
are available from 0-3' to 0-500' of water
level change. A 25' vented cable is stan-
dard, and optional cable lengths are avail-
able up to 500' (cable length is measured
from the top of the datalogger to the bot-
tom of the sensor).
Rugged Sensor Design
The WL16’s submersible pressure trans-
ducer has exceptional linearity, very low
hysteresis, a highly rugged design, and is
automatically compensated for barometric
pressure. More information about Global
Water’s Level Sensor and barometric pres-
sure compensation is available on page 6.
Unique Datalogger
The WL16 datalogger is housed in a
weather-resistant cylindrical enclosure,
which easily slips inside and rests on top
of a standard 2" PVC pipe. The WL16 in-
cludes two internal 9 VDC alkaline batter-
ies, which can typically power the unit for
one year. The data is safely stored in non-
volatile flash memory.
Powerful Software
The WL16 includes Windows™-based
Global Logger II software that provides
many useful features, such as real-time
readout, measurement interval and engi-

neering unit selection, station ID setting,
and sensor calibration. The software makes
accessing stored data and setting options
easy. Data downloaded from the WL16
can easily be opened in any PC spreadsheet
program for analysis and graphic presenta-
tion. The WL16 also includes Windows™
CE-based PDA software for simple field
data collection and Flow Logger Software
for flow monitoring (for more informa-
tion, see the FL16 on page 24). A Blue-
tooth communication option is available
with the purchase of the AK1500, external
Bluetooth adapter.
Flexible Options
Two versions of the WL16 are available:
one for computers with a RS-232 serial
port (WL16S version), and another for
computers with a USB communication
port (WL16U version). Purchase of either
unit includes the appropriate RS-232 or
USB cable for communication between the
logger and your computer.
In addition, a variety of options are avail-
able to best meet the needs of your appli-
cation:
• The THO Titanium Option includes a
rugged titanium housing for the water
level sensor. For best performance in
marine environments we recommend
using the titanium option.
• The WL-INO Inside Well Option allows
the entire logger to fit within a 2" well and
includes a chain and hook to secure the
WL16 to the well top (less than 100' of
cable should be used with this option).
• The Pressure Pipe Option houses the
sensor in either a 8" PVC (PRPP) or

DCX-22 Self-Contained Level Logger

Absolute Pressure and Temperature Combination Logger

DCX-22 Installation Notes Description

The DCX-22 can be installed with-
in a stilling well pipe that is firmly
mounted at the monitoring site. If the
stilling well is installed in the ground,
make sure the pipe has openings to
ensure that water can enter.
To construct your own protective still-
ing well, you can use PVC sched-
ule 40 electrical conduit, a light
grey pipe that has UV protectors
and pre-formed “sweeps” or bends
that enable the pipe to conform to
contours. The pipe can be buried,
secured with rocks, or fastened with
large staples made from concrete re-
inforcing steel.

 Level and Pressure
Barometric Pressure Compensation
Global Water’s WL400 Water Level
Sensor includes a vented cable to au-
tomatically compensate for baromet-
ric pressure changes. This type of dif-
ferential water level monitor measures
the water level only, since changes in
barometric pressure caused by storms
or elevation are the same on both
sides of the sensor, automatically can-
celing each other out.
Stormy weather can produce baro-
metric pressure differences in the
range of 25 mbar during a single
day. Since one millibar equals one
centimeter of water, this equates to
almost 10 inches (25.4 cm) of water
level error— or an error of over 2.5%
for a 30 ft (9.1 m) range sensor. El-
evation also influences barometric
pressure, with changes of about 35
mbar per 1000 ft increase in eleva-
tion, or an error of 1 ft of water lev-
el/1000 ft.
Unlike Global Water’s differential wa-
ter level monitors, there are absolute
water level monitors, like the DCX-22,
that do not use vented cables to auto-
matically compensate for barometric
pressure changes. With these instru-
ments, one side of the sensing element
is exposed to water while the other
side is sealed. In order to correctly
interpret data from these devices, an
external barometric pressure sensor is
required at each site and the eleva-
tion for each monitoring site within a
system must be determined. This in-
formation must be correlated to calcu-
late a site’s true water level reading.
The WL400 eliminates these difficul-
ties, allowing you to collect and view
data that is automatically compensat-
ed for barometric pressure changes.

WL400 Water Level Sensor
Submersible Pressure Transducer for Monitoring Level and Pressure
Description
Global Water’s WL400 Water Level Sensor
provides highly accurate water level mea-
surements for a variety of applications, in-
cluding those in severe environments. The
WL400 has a dynamic temperature com-
pensation system, enabling high accuracy
measurements over a wide temperature
range. The unit is also designed for auto-
matic barometric compensation, described
further in the sidebar article on this page.
The WL400 consists of a solid state sub-
mersible pressure transducer encapsulat-
ed in a stainless steel housing. The level
sensor has a molded-on waterproof cable.
A 25 feet cable is standard, and optional
cable lengths are available up to 500 feet.
The WL400 has a two-wire 4-20 mA high
level output for easy connection to data-
loggers, telemetry, monitoring equipment,
and displays. Multiple level sensor ranges
are available from 0-3 ft to 0-500 ft.
Rugged Sensor Design
The WL400’s sensor is fully encapsulated
with marine-grade epoxy. The unique
wet-wet sensor eliminates vent tube mois-
ture problems, which can cause drift or
level sensor failure (as can be the case with
other pressure sensors). The level sensor
uses a highly flexible silicon diaphragm to
interface between water and the sensing
element. This silicon diaphragm protects
the water level sensor’s electronics from
moisture and provides exceptional linear-
ity and very low hysteresis. The WL400’s
design eliminates issues associated with
Applications
Ideal for groundwater wells, rivers, streams, flumes, weirs, saltwater, tanks, open channels,
lift stations, sewers, pipes, and more.
www.globalw.com
metal foil diaphragms, which tend to crin-
kle and stretch over time causing drift,
linearity, and hysteresis problems.
The pressure sensor is protected by a
stainless steel micro-screen cap, which
makes fouling with silt, mud, or sludge
virtually impossible. The WL400’s rug-
ged design is even excellent for saltwater
applications including tide level monitor-
ing and floating docks.
Unique Low Level Range
The 0-3 ft low level range sensor is ideal
for measuring shallow flows or small wa-
ter level changes like those encountered in
sewers, storm drains, weirs, and flumes.
The 0-3 ft sensor accurately measures
small level changes, even when the water’s
depth is only a few inches deep. Other
metal foil-type water level sensors typically
have serious problems at low level ranges
because of sensor crinkling, stretching, and
drifting.
Flexible Output and Power
The WL400 has a two-wire 4-20 mA out-
put signal that is linear with water depth.
The output signal can travel up to 3,000
feet from the sensor to the logging de-
vice. Common twisted pair or electrical
extension cord wire can be spliced to the
WL400’s vented cable to extend the cable
out of water. The 4-20 mA signal may be
converted to 0.5 to 2.5 VDC by dropping
the current signal across a 125 ohm re-
sistor. The sensor will operate with 8 to
36 VDC, so common 12 VDC battery sys-

WL900 Radar Level Transmitter

Non-Contact Level Measurement Device

Features
• Accurate, non-contact
measurement
• Works in conditions
where ultrasonic is not
acceptable
• Pulse radar measurement
range 0.83 to 50 ft
• Simple push-button
calibration
• Standard 4-20 mA
signal output
Description
The WL900 Radar Level Transmitter offers
a logical extension to ultrasonic devices. It
is suitable for applications that require non-
contact liquid level measurement when ultra-
sonic level measurement is not acceptable.
Variety of Uses
The WL900 is ideal for a variety of water
and wastewater applications involving a
reflective liquid that has a foaming surface,
vapors, or dusty conditions beyond ultra-
sonic wave capabilities.
State of the Art Radar Technology
The WL900 uses a state of the art radar
pulse technology, which provides accurate
and reliable level measurements over a wide
10-inch to 50-foot range. The unit’s micro-
wave sends out very short pulses, which re-
flect off a target and are received back by the
antenna for processing.
Simple Operation
With its single push-button calibration sys-
tem, the WL900 is easy to set up and main-
tain. Simply aim the WL900 at your low
range level set point and push the button to
lock in the setting– then do the same with
the high level set point. This may be done
before permanent installation by aiming at a
wall and using a tape measure to determine
your exact range.
Rugged Design
The unit’s rugged NEMA 4 (IP65) housing
is available in either aluminum or 316L
stainless steel for corrosive environments.
A standard 2 inch NPT (M) process connec-
tion allows for quick and versatile installa-
tion. In addition, the unit’s polypropylene
antenna rod is virtually corrosion proof.

WL500 Well Level Sounder

Water Detection Unit and Measuring Tape Reel

Description
Global Water’s WL500 Well Level Sounder
sets a precision standard for well water lev-
el measurement. The sounder meets or ex-
ceeds federal specification US GGG-T-106E
(USA) and EEC CLASS II (Europe) for a
guaranteed accuracy of 0.008%.
Reliable Design
The WL500 has a strong NTS-certified
polyethylene jacketed measuring tape that
will accurately read to 0.01 foot or 1 mm.
The tape reels are built of resistant polycar-
bonate (or, for units with over 400 ft cable,
of lighter aluminum). The sounder is bat-
tery operated, thus there is no danger of
shock from an outside power supply. In
addition, the unit includes two conductors
that make a separate ground connection
unnecessary, so the instrument will func-
tion well in both uncased test holes and
uncased wells in rock. Water entering the
well from casing leaks or perforations will
not affect the device’s measurements.
The WL500’s 5/8 in (16 mm) diameter sen-
sor probe is encased in a full depth-rated
stainless steel and Teflon® probe that pro-
Specifications
tects the electronics from water and dust.
For ease of cleaning and decontamination
of the entire reel and tape, the sounder’s
electronics module can be removed. The
unit’s measuring tape has a flat spring steel
core that ensures it will hang perfectly
straight in large and small diameter wells.
This provides unparalleled accuracy and
avoids errors typically introduced by flat
white tapes, which can easily kink inside
a well.
Ideal for Pump and Drawdown Tests

FP111, 211, 311 Flow Probes

Digital Handheld Water Velocity Meters

Easy Streamflow Measurement Description

You can quickly and easily measure
streamflow using Global Water’s
Flow Probe. Flow is determined by:
V (average velocity) x A (cross-sec-
tional area) = Q (flow).
Global Water’s FP111, FP211, and FP311
Flow Probes are highly accurate water ve-
locity instruments for measuring flows in
open channels and partially filled pipes.
Each Flow Probe consists of a protected
for changing functions and resetting the
display. The computer is powered by a
non-replaceable battery that will last ap-
proximately five years with normal use. A
low battery warning will be displayed.

You can calculate the cross-sectional turbo-prop sensor coupled to an expand-

area (A) of water in a round pipe
by measuring the water’s depth and
using the calculation tables included
in the Flow Probe’s manual. To de-
termine the cross-sectional area for
streams and rivers, measure the dis-
tance from shore and water depth at
various points across the stream to
construct a channel profile. These
measurements are easy to record
by drawing a diagram on graph
paper.
The Flow Probe supports two unique
methods for determining the average
velocity (V) in a stream. 1) For small
streams and pipes, move the probe
slowly and smoothly throughout the
flow until a steady average reading
is displayed. This steady reading
is the true average velocity for the
streamflow. 2) For larger streams
and rivers, divide the stream into
subsections 2-3 feet wide. We rec-
ommend that you draw the subsec-
tions on your channel profile and run
a measuring tape across the stream
for reference. Obtain an average
velocity at the center of each subsec-
tion by repeatedly moving the probe
vertically from the surface to the
bottom until a steady reading is dis-
played. The average velocity times
the area of the subsection equals the
flow for the subsection. Add all of
the subsection flows to obtain the to-
tal streamflow.

Managing Inflow and
Infiltration Problems
Inflow and infiltration are terms used to
describe the ways that stormwater (in-
flow) and groundwater (infiltration) enter
into dedicated wastewater or sanitary
sewer systems. Inflow and infiltration
(I/I) add clear water to sewer systems
and treatment facilities, reducing the
system’s ability to adequately transport
and treat wastewater.
The reduction of I/I should be planned
in a long-term monitoring and control
program. Initially, a variety of informa-
tion should be researched, recorded,
and mapped so that key locations for
sewer flow monitoring can be identified
throughout a sewer system’s watershed,
basins, and sub-basins.
Global Water’s FL16 Flow Logger is
ideal for measuring wastewater flows
and their responses to I/I. The follow-
ing “rules-of-thumb” can be used in I/I
monitoring: monitor for a minimum of
45 days, with 60 days being optimal;
measure during 6 to 8 separate rainfall
events; monitor during a period of high
seasonal groundwater; use one flow me-
ter for every 30,000 to 50,000 feet of
pipe; and set the flow meters’ recording
intervals at 15 minutes. Once monitor-
ing data has been collected and evalu-
ated for accuracy, it can inform system
modeling that will help narrow in on I/I
sources.
Inspections, cleanings, smoke testing,
and dyed-water testing can be employed
to pinpoint I/I sources. Once a source
has been discovered, a jurisdiction can
evaluate rehabilitation and control alter-
natives. By continuing periodic monitor-
ing, a jurisdiction will be able to evaluate
the effectiveness of control efforts, deter-
mine new sources of I/I, and maintain
the integrity of the system over time.

FL16 Flow Logger
Water Flow and Temperature Recorder for Partially Filled Pipes, Flumes, and Weirs
Description
Global Water’s FL16 Flow Logger will revo-
lutionize the way you collect flow data. The
FL16 consists of a sensor and a datalogger
that will record over 81,000 depth, tem-
perature, flow, and velocity readings. The
FL16 operates on two standard 9 volt bat-
teries, which it monitors so you are never
caught off guard with dead batteries.
Many Uses
The FL16 is ideal for a variety of appli-
cations, such as: inflow and infiltration
studies, storm and waste collection sys-
tems, open channels (including sewer and
drainage pipes, flumes, weirs, and square
channels), and a host of other gravity-flow
type systems. With multiple FL16’s, you
can collect rain event or other flow event
data from 5 or 6 sites simultaneously for a
minimal investment.
Specially Engineered Sensor
The FL16’s specially engineered, non-foul-
ing level sensor works in depths as low as
½" and allows for deployment in manholes
and other difficult to access areas without
the need to enter the confined space. The
sensor is fully encapsulated with marine-
grade epoxy so that moisture can never
leak in or work its way down the vent tube
to cause level sensor failure (as can be the
case with other pressure sensors).
Powerful Flow Logger Software
The FL16 includes user-friendly Win-
dows™-based Flow Logger software that
is tailored specifically for calculating flows
in partially filled sewer and drainage pipes
using the Manning’s Equation. Pull-down
menus for selecting and entering the nec-
essary pipe or primary device information
make programming quick and easy. A
unique calibration feature allows users to
view calculated water velocity, compare
this to actual measured data, and adjust
www.globalw.com
the flow parameters to calibrate the flow
conditions of a specific application. Flow
equations for over 40 standard flumes and
weirs are provided, and users can define
their own custom lookup tables to convert
water level to flow for virtually any ap-
plication. Once configured, all setup and
flow parameters are stored in the FL16’s
memory and are uploaded to the software
automatically upon connection. This in-
formation can also be saved to a file for
later use, allowing the FL16 to be deployed
in multiple locations without the need to
re-enter the flow parameters each time it
is moved. The FL16 also includes Win-
dows™ CE-based PDA software for easy
field data collection.
Flexible Options
The FL16 Flow Logger package includes
the weatherproof logger unit, the non-
fouling sensor with 25 ft (7.6 m) of heavy
duty cable, and the Flow Logger and PDA
software packages. Optional cable lengths
are available up to 500 ft (152.4 m) (cable
length is measured from the top of the
datalogger to the bottom of the sensor).
Choose the FL16U model for a USB inter-
face, which is best for direct to PC or laptop
communication; or select the FL16S serial
version, which is best for Windows™ CE-
based PDA’s. Our optional FLMNT protec-
tive housing includes hardware for mount-
ing to a manhole step or other structure,
providing for easy installation and replace-
ment in the field.
Applications
Ideal for inflow and
infiltration studies,
storm and waste
collection systems,
sewer and drainage
pipes, flumes, weirs,
square channels, and
other gravity-flow
type systems.

Measuring Open Channel Flows
For any open channel that is free
flowing, there is a specific relation-
ship between the depth of water and
the flow rate. Whenever a given
depth occurs, there will always be the
same flow. Therefore, if the flow rate
is known for each depth, a depth-to-
flow relationship can be constructed.
Primary Device Flows
When using a primary device to mea-
sure flows, such as a measuring flume
or weir, there is a mathematical rela-
tionship between depth and flow.
Global Water’s FC200 Open Chan-
nel Flow Monitor is pre-programmed
with depth-to-flow relationship tables
for over 20 flumes and weirs. You
can digitally select the correct depth-
to-flow relationship for your applica-
tion, and the Open Channel Flow
Monitor’s LCD screen will automati-
cally display flow rate measurements
for any depth that is reached. The
flow rate is also averaged over time
to display total flow.
Custom Depth-to-Flow Relationships
When measuring flows in a channel
that does not have a primary device,
you must construct your own depth-to-
flow table. You can do this by mea-
suring the flow using Global Water’s
Flow Probe (see page 22) when the
channel is at several different depths
of water.
In addition to the pre-programmed
depth-to-flow relationships, you can
purchase the FC200-C with a custom
depth-to-flow equation or look up ta-
ble to meet the needs of your specific
application. Please specify your cus-
tom programming information when
placing your order.

FC200 Open Channel Flow Monitor
Open Channel Flow Meter and Flow Totalizer
Description
Global Water’s FC200 Open Channel Flow
Monitor is reliable and accurate for mea-
suring and totalizing flows for all flumes
and weirs, as well as for any gravity-type
open-channel application. The FC200
measures water depth with Global Water’s
highly accurate pressure transducer, and
the unit’s electronic circuitry calculates and
displays flow rate and total flow values for
any depth-to-flow relationship in any en-
gineering units. The Open Channel Flow
Monitor is easy to set up in the field using a
unique four-button programming system.
Accurate Depth Sensor
Our Open Channel Flow Monitor measures
water depth with a highly accurate, fully
submersible water level sensor constructed
of stainless steel. The standard level range
is from 0 to 3 ft of water, which provides
for accurate flow measurements even with
depth changes as small as a fraction of an
inch. Simply mount the pressure trans-
ducer slightly below the “zero” flow depth
of the channel, upstream from the throat of
a flume or weir. For open channels with
no primary device, mount the sensor be-
low the lowest expected water depth. The
sensor includes 25 ft of waterproof cable.
In addition, the sensor has a 2-wire 4-20
mA signal, so you can extend the cable out
of water with standard, twisted-pair signal
wire and mount the flow computer up to
1,000 feet away from the sensor location.
We also offer an ultrasonic water level
sensor model (FC200-U) that allows the
Open Channel Flow Monitor to measure
semi-solid flows or other flows that are not
suitable for a standard submersible pres-
sure transducer (for sensor specifications,
see the WL700 on page 10). This option
includes a 0 to 3 ft ultrasonic sensor on 10
ft of cable. We recommend that the ultra-
www.globalw.com
sonic sensor option only be used in areas
where AC power is available. A submers-
ible pressure transducer should be used for
applications in areas without AC power.
Capable Displays and Outputs
The Open Channel Flow Monitor displays
the 5-digit flow rate on an LCD screen
and the totalized output on a second LCD
display. The displays read in user-defined
units of flow, including mgd, csf, gpm,
and m³s. The FC200 produces an analog
4-20 mA output signal that is proportional
to flow. You can use this output for chart
recorders, dataloggers, or as an input to
telemetry or process control systems. In
addition, the meter has a flow proportional
output signal for triggering water samplers.
To add datalogging capabilities, select the
FC200-D, which includes the FC200 as
well as an internal serial version of Global
Water’s GL500-2-1 Global Logger (see
specifications on page 123).
Powerful Digital Flow Computer
The FC200 has powerful internal electronic
circuitry that calculates and totalizes flow.

EX100-200 Electromagnetic Flow Sensors

Adjustable Depth Electromagnetic Insertion Flow Sensors for Full Pipe Flows

Description
The EX100-200 Electromagnetic Flow Sen-
sors are highly reliable adjustable depth in-
sertion flow sensors. The meters have no
moving parts, no rotors to stop turning in
dirty water, and no bearings to wear out.
How it Works
The sensor produces a rapidly reversing
magnetic field in the lower housing. As
fluid moves through this field, a voltage is
generated. This voltage is measured and
translated into a frequency signal that is
proportional to flow rate. This square wave
signal can then be sent directly to a PLC or
other control system, or it can be converted
using optional output displays and convert-
ers. The EX115-215 Hot Tap meters incor-
porate an isolation valve and a longer tube,
Applications
Ideal for metering pipe flows, wastewater effluent,
industrial water processing, and other difficult
environments.
which allows these meters to be easily in-
serted into or removed from the pipe while
it is under pressure.
Versatile Output
Designed for modularity and versatility, the
EX100-200 sensors have a current-sinking
pulse output that you can integrate with
an appropriate transmitter or indicator de-
pending on your application. For a scaled
pulse and 4-20 mA output display, you can
use the FT420M meter mounted display or
the FT420W wall mounted display. For
a 4-20 mA analog output only, you can
mount the AO55M blind 4-20 mA convert-
er directly onto the meter. If you are using
an EX100-200 meter with a programmable
controller, the output signal can be fed di-
rectly with no other conditioning required.
Easy Installation
The installation fitting included with the
EX100-200 sensors is standard male NPT,
which can be directly threaded into ordi-
nary saddles or threaded weld fittings.

TX80-Series Turbine Insertion Flow Meters

Fixed Depth Turbine Insertion Flow Meters for Full Pipe Flows

Features
• Easy to install
• No spool pieces required
• High-quality ruby bearings for excellent
low-flow performance and long life
• One easily replaced moving part
• Pickup exerts no magnetic drag on the
rotor
• Square wave frequency output can con-
nect directly to PLC’s or counter controls
• Indicator or transmitter can be mounted
on the flowmeter or remotely
• Fittings are available in a wide variety of
materials and sizes
Description
The TX80-Series Turbine Insertion Flow
Meters are turbine-type insertion flow
meters designed for use in pipes from 1½
to 8 inch in diameter. They are available
in brass, 316 stainless steel, and polypro-
pylene.
Precision Design
The TX80 meters have high quality jewel
bearings and nickel bound tungsten car-
bide shafts that ensure maximum life and
extreme low friction. The meter bodies
are machined from solid rod for maxi-
mum precision and superior low flow
performance. The precision design makes
the meters ideal for chemical proportion-
ing applications.
How it Works
The rotation of the meter’s rotor is de-
tected by a non-drag Hall effect sensor.
The meter’s output is a pulse-type square
wave, which can be sent long distances
(up to 2,000 feet) without a transmitter.
This signal can be connected directly to
PLC’s, counters, and computer cards.
Versatile Output and Displays
For rate and total flow display, as well as
pump pacing, you can mount the FT415M
or FT420M flow indicator directly onto
the sensor. For a wall-mounted display,
select the FT420W. For a 4-20 mA analog
output only, you can mount the optional
AO55 blind 4-20 mA converter directly
onto the meter.
Range of Installation Fittings
We offer a range of special installation fit-
tings for the fixed depth meters that will
automatically ensure correct depth place-
ment in the pipe. Fittings are available in
PVC, brass, and stainless steel.
Applications
Ideal for metering
clean water flows
and chemical
proportioning.

SPX Inline Low Flow Meter

Chemical-Resistant Low Flow Meter for Small Pipes

Pipe Layouts for Flow Meters Features

Most flow meters must be installed in
locations where there is a significant
run of straight pipe both upstream
and downstream. The straight pipe
smooths out turbulence produced by
the presence of valves, thermowells,
chemical injectors/diffusers, and
changes in pipe direction. This type
of turbulence produces errors in flow
meter readings, ranging from about
10% in the case of an upstream ther-
mowell to over 50% in the case of
an upstream valve.
In order to achieve proper accu-
racy, we recommend that you install
your flow meter in a location where
there are a minimum of 10 diam-
eters of straight pipe run upstream
and 5 diameters of straight pipe run
downstream. Under specific circum-
stances, you may need much more
straight run prior to the flow meter.
If you cannot provide enough run to
smooth out the turbulence caused by
valves, fittings, and changes in di-
rection, you will have to live with the
inaccurate effects this turbulence will
create for your flow meters. Howev-
er, this does not mean that the flow
meter’s readings are meaningless.
In the majority of applications, the
flow meter is suitable for providing
repeatable readings, if not accurate
ones. In applications where the
flow meter is a control device (such
as operating a valve or controlling
a chemical addition) repeatability of

 Sampling
Setting Up the WS705-755
To set up your WS705 or WS755
sampler, first set the sampler’s state of
the art controller to take time or flow-
weighted composite samples and/or
full-bottle discrete samples.
A composite sample is a series of
small samples put into the same
bottle. Composite samples show an
average sample over time. You can
take a composite sample with the
WS705-755 by setting the ‘Interval’
control to the desired time between
samples, and the ‘Size’ control to the
desired sample size.
A discrete sample is a single sample
put into a single bottle. Discrete
samples show a sample at one point
in time. Using the WS705-755, you
can take discrete samples by setting
the ‘Sample Size’ control to ‘Full.’
Once started, the pump will continue
to run until a single bottle is full.
Once the sampler’s controller is set
for your purposes, you can now in-
stall the sampler at your sampling
site. The sampler should be installed
upright and adjacent to the water
source. Locate the unit above the ex-
pected water level to ensure reliable
service. To secure the sampler from
vandalism or strong winds, you can
do one of the following:
• Mount the sampler on a post and
lock it closed
• Lock the sampler and chain its
handles to a solid structure
• Enclose and lock the sampler in-
side a steel electrical box
Place the pickup hose within the water
source. The pickup strainer should be
submerged under water and situated
to avoid contact with the bottom.

WS705-755 Improved Water Samplers
Combined Composite/Discrete Samplers for a Range of Sampling Requirements
Description
Global Water’s WS705 single-bottle and
WS755 dual-bottle samplers combine all of
the features you need to meet a wide variety
of sampling requirements, including those
for stormwater, rivers and streams, industrial
discharge, water and wastewater treatment,
and wastewater collection.
Powerful Operation
The WS705-755’s state of the art controller
gives you power over your sampling process.
With the sample size control, you can adjust
the WS705-755 to take one of 15 individual
time-weighted composite sample sizes, from
50 ml to 2 liters. You can also set the size
control to the full-bottle discrete setting for
full-bottle grab samples. The sample interval
control allows you set the time between indi-
vidual composite samples to one of 15 time
settings, from 5 minutes to 12 hours, or you
can enable the external trigger mode. A start
delay timer allows you to start multiple sam-
plers in the field at the same time, or to delay
drawing a sample after a triggering event so
that your sample better represents the water
source. An automatic 15-second backflush
cycle clears any debris from the strainer and
empties the water from the hose so the next
sample is not contaminated. The sample
bottle is equipped with a float switch that
automatically turns off the peristaltic sam-
pling pump if the water bottle becomes full.
The sampler’s 5 AH rechargeable battery will
power the unit for several months or through
several sampling events.
Unique Independent Pump Operation
A unique feature of the WS755 model is the
ability to set the sampling mode for each

tion, wastewater treatment, and more.

pump and bottle individually. This allows
you to take a time-weighted composite sam-
ple and a discrete (grab) sample at the same
time. Or you can take two individual time-
weighted composite samples with different
size settings for each pump.
Useful Inputs and Outputs
Both the WS705 and WS755 include trigger
inputs for each pump and bottle so you can
control sample collection from an external
closed contact switch like a water level sen-
sor, rain gauge sensor, or external process
controller. You can use a 4-20 mA sensor to
trigger sample collection with a 4-20 mA to
Pulse Converters (see the RG750 and RG755
in the Accessories table). Pulse outputs for
each bottle are also provided for tracking
sample collection information via a GL500
Datalogger (see page 122) or other monitor-
ing device.
Range of Features and Options
The WS705 and WS755 samplers are housed
in a rugged, weatherproof enclosure feature-
ing heavy duty polyurethane wheels and a
retractable extension handle for easy trans-
portation. Both units include 15 feet of rein-
forced sampling hose with an intake strainer
for each pump, a 1 gallon (WS755) or 2.5
gallon (WS705) polybottle for each pump,
and a rechargeable battery and charger.
For stormwater sampling, add the WSSWK
Stormwater Kit, which includes our Rain
Sensor, Flow Sensor, and Auto-drain Rain
Gauge all in one package.

 Sampling
Sample Types
Two types of wastewater sampling
techniques are used in monitoring com-
pliance with the National Pollutant Dis-
charge Elimination System (NPDES):
grab and composite. The following
describes these two sample types.
For some monitoring procedures, the
USEPA 40 CFR Part 136 specifies the
appropriate sampling type, and for
many others, the specific NPDES per-
mit will specify a sample type. Addi-
tional information can be found in the
USEPA’s NPDES Compliance Inspec-
tion Manual.
Grab Samples
Grab samples are individual samples
collected over a period of time (not ex-
ceeding 15 minutes). These samples
represent conditions at the time the
sample is collected. The volume of the
sample will depend on the type and
number of analyses being performed.
The collection of a grab sample is ap-
propriate when:
• Effluent does not discharge on a
continual basis
• Instantaneous concentrations are re-
quired at a specific time
• A variable sample volume is re-
quired
• Composite samples need to be cor-
roborated
• Parameters must be sampled that do
not composite well
Composite Samples
Composite samples are collected over
time, either by continuous sampling
or by mixing discrete samples. These
samples represent the average char-
acteristics of the waste stream during
the compositing period. Composite
samples are used when:

Accurate Open Channel Flow Monitor
The FSS’s open channel flow monitor is
reliable and accurate for measuring and
totalizing open channel flows for all flumes
and weirs, as well as any gravity-type
open-channel flow. The flow monitor is
pre-programmed with over 20 different
flume and weir characteristics and, with
the FSS-C version, we can custom program
the unit for your unique application. The
unit measures water depth with Global
Water’s highly accurate pressure transduc-
er and instantly calculates (for display and
output) water flow and totalizer values for
any depth-to-flow relationship in any en-
gineering units (the FSS-INT version does
not include a totalizer display). Please see
the FC200 Open Channel Flow Moni-
tor on page 26 for additional information
about this component.
Smart Flow Data Recorder
The FSS’s flow data recorder includes Win-
dows™-based Global Logger II software,
which provides many useful features and
makes accessing stored data and setting op-
tions easy. The data recorder also includes
Windows™ CE-based PDA software for
simple field data collection. The FSS-STD
and FSS-INT feature a data recorder with
7 analog channels, 2 pulse channels, and
USB and serial communication ports. The
FSS-LT features a recorder with serial com-
munication port that monitors flow and
total flow. Please see the 9-channel GL500
on page 122 and the 3-channel GL500 on
page 123 for additional information.
Ideal for flow sampling and recording
at flumes, weirs, inflow and infiltration
studies, storm and waste collection systems,
sewer and drainage pipes, and more.

• Average pollutant concentration
during the compositing period is
determined
• Mass per unit time loadings are cal-
culated
• Wastewater characteristics are
highly variable.
Various methods for compositing sam-
ples are available, and samples can
be collected either manually or with
automatic samplers. A permit may
specify which type of method to use.
Compositing methods include:
Time-Based
This method requires discrete samples
be collected in one container at con-
stant time intervals. This method is ap-
propriate when the flow of the sampled
stream is constant (flow rate does not
vary more than ±10 percent of the av-
erage flow rate).
Flow-Proportional
This sample type includes two methods:
one method collects a constant sample
volume at varying time intervals pro-
portional to stream flow, and the other
collects the sample by increasing the
volume of each sample as the flow in-
creases while maintaining a constant
time interval between samples.
Sequential
This method requires discrete samples
collected in individual containers at
constant time intervals or discharge
increments. The discrete samples can
then be manually flow-proportioned to
form the composite sample.
Continuous
This sample is collected continuously
from the waste stream. The sample
may be of constant volume, or the vol-
ume may vary in proportion to the flow
rate of the waste stream.

The WQS’s controller includes an LCD display
that shows the type of sensor being moni-
tored, the data reading, and the engineering
units. The display also indicates if either relay
has been triggered since last reset, which relay
was triggered, and whether the maximum or
minimum limit was exceeded. Two separate
relays are provided: one is used to trigger the
WQS’s sampler, and the other can be used to
control a variety of external devices includ-
ing alarms, mixers, pumps, control valves,
floodgates, and telemetry systems. Each relay
Applications

 Water Quality
Introduction to
Water Quality Monitoring
In environmental waters, water qual-
ity is degraded when pollutants in the
water cause conditions to exceed the
aquatic system’s ability to balance the
changes. Two major categories of
water pollutants include: point source
pollutants from specific sources such
as industrial pipes; and diffuse land-
based non-point source pollutants car-
ried to water bodies by runoff.
In order to identify, control, and reme-
diate pollutants, water quality monitor-
ing can be conducted in a variety of
ways to meet many purposes. Moni-
toring can occur: continually at fixed
sites to characterize waters and iden-
tify changes over time; at select sites
on an as-needed basis to identify spe-
cific conditions; on a temporary ba-
sis to identify emerging problems; at
random sites to gather information for
broad programs; or on an emergency
basis to respond to spills. Increas-
ingly, monitoring efforts are aimed
at determining the condition of entire
watersheds to address the impact of
non-point source pollutants.
Data that is collected and shared helps
to inform pollution control and reme-
diation plans, especially in cases of
watershed-wide decision making. The
EPA’s STORET (www.epa.gov/storet/)
is one of the largest online systems for
ambient water quality data. Various
entities collect and enter data into the
database, and raw data can be ac-
cessed and used for a variety of pur-
poses. The EPA is currently updating
STORET to address developing tech-
nologies and provide users with more
flexibility in working with online data.
The next generation site is tentatively
called the Water Quality Exchange.

WQMS Water Quality Monitoring System
System for Monitoring Multiple Water Quality Parameters
Description
Global Water’s WQMS Water Quality Moni-
toring System allows you to monitor mul-
tiple water quality parameters with a fully
integrated, easy to use, economical system.
The standard system includes our multichan-
nel datalogger (featuring 7 analog channels
and 2 digital channels for data recording)
and four of our rugged 4-20 mA water qual-
ity sensors for measuring water temperature,
pH, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen. To
customize the WQMS for your application,
you can select up to three more analog sen-
sors and up to two digital sensors to monitor
additional parameters such as turbidity, ORP,
water level, wind speed/direction, rainfall,
and more.
Smart Water Quality Data Recorder
The WQMS’s water quality data recorder fea-
tures 7 analog channels, 2 pulse channels,
and USB and serial communication ports.
The durable and powerful datalogger is en-
closed within a sturdy weatherproof case.
The unit will operate for several months be-
fore its internal 12VDC battery requires re-
charging. Please see the GL500-7-2 on page
122 for additional information.
Powerful PC and PDA Software
The WQMS includes Windows™-based
Global Logger II software, which makes ac-
cessing stored data and setting options easy.
The software provides many useful features,
such as real time readout, measurement in-
terval and engineering unit selection, sta-
tion ID setting, and sensor calibration. The
WQMS also includes Windows™ CE-based
PDA software for simple data collection in
the field. Data downloaded from the record-
er can easily be opened in any PC spread-
sheet program for analysis and graphic pre-
sentation.
Rugged Water Quality Sensors
The WQMS comes standard with four rug-
ged and reliable 4-20 mA water quality sen-
www.globalw.com
sors, including our water temperature sensor,
pH sensor, conductivity sensor (with a 0 to
5000µS range standard), and dissolved oxy-
gen sensor. Each sensor is mounted on 25 ft
(7.6 m) of marine-grade cable, with lengths
up to 500 ft (152.4 m) available by special or-
der. The sensors’ electronics are completely
encapsulated in marine-grade epoxy within a
stainless steel housing. Each sensor outputs
a 4-20 mA signal. Please see the WQ101,
WQ201, and WQ301 starting on page 60
and the WQ401 on page 63 for more detail
about these sensors.
Remote Communication Options
To add remote communication capabilities,
select the GL500-Mod Modem Package for
telephone modem communications (see Or-
dering & Options) or the RM100 for radio
communications (see page 126). We also
offer solar panels and a battery charger to
support your WQMS installation. See the
Accessories table on the opposite page for
additional information.
Customize for Your Application
To customize your WQMS, you can select up
to three additional analog sensors and two
digital sensors from Global Water’s line of
rugged water quality, weather, level, and flow
sensors. Please see Ordering & Options on
the next page and the sensors in this docu-
ment for additional information.
If you require a unique water quality moni-
toring system to meet the needs of your spe-
cific application, Global Water can work with
you to design a factory-integrated custom
system. Please contact Global Water regard-
ing this option.
Applications
Ideal for stream and lake monitoring,
aquaculture studies, baseline analyses,
mitigation monitoring, and other
environmental applications.

WQ-FDO Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

Highly Accurate and Stable Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

WQ-FDO shown with stainless steel armor
Features
• Extremely fast and precise optical DO
sensor – outstanding for field and lab
applications
• Proven green light technology for long
operation life of sensor
• Beveled membrane repells interference that
can be caused by air bubbles
• Universal protective armoring available
• Low power consumption and low mainte-
nance
Description
The WQ-FDO Optical DO Sensor is an
instrument designed for measuring DO
concentrations in liquids. The optical DO
sensors were developed to meet the require-
ments ranging from surface water monitoring
programs to harsh waste water applications.
The WQ-FDO has been specifically designed
to meet the demanding requirements of the
environmental monitoring and scientific re-
search sectors, providing long term, accurate
and reliable dissolved oxygen measurement.
The sensor has extremely low power require-
ments and a 4-20 mA output making it ideal
for incorporation into remote environmental
monitoring installations.
How it works
The WQ-FDO Optical DO Sensor’s measur-
ing technology is based on an attenuated
DO sensors, WQ-FDO sensors have no con-
sumable cathodes or anodes that require
replacement, minimizing servicing requir-
ments. Neither do the sensors consume
oxygen. Consequently the measurement of
DO by the sensor is unaffected by water flow.
The WQ-FDO can even be deployed in stag-
nate groundwater bores. The sensors also
have extremely stable electronics – a calibra-
tion interval of 1 year is typical.
The measuring and reference path optical
components are identically designed inside
the sensor. Natural aging processes of the
sensor’s optical components can therefore
be compensated by the reference path and
accordingly compensated in the measuring
path. As a result, the sensor provides ac-

of oxygen (O2) dissolved in water.
DO provides one of the best indicators
of the health of a water ecosystem, as

WQ730 Turbidity Sensor

Rugged Submersible Turbidity Sensor

Features
• In situ turbidity measurement
• Simple and convenient to use
• 4-20 mA output
• Marine grade polyurethane jacketed
cable with strain relief
• Rugged stainless steel and
Delrin® housing
• Removable light and debris shield
• Ideal for a variety of applications
Description
Global Water’s WQ730 Turbidity Sensor is a
highly accurate submersible instrument for
in situ environmental or process monitoring.
The sensor is ideal for a variety of applica-
tions, including river monitoring, stream
measurement, reservoir water quality testing,
groundwater testing, water and wastewater
treatment, effluent and industrial control,
and more.
How it Works
In accordance with USEPA Method 180.1
for turbidity measurement, the WQ730 is a
90 degree scatter nephelometer. The sen-
sor directs a focused beam into the subject
water. The light beam reflects off particles
in the water, and the resultant light intensity
is measured by a photodetector positioned at
90 degrees to the light beam. The detected
light intensity is directly proportional to the
turbidity of the water. The turbidity sensor
uses a second light detector to correct for
light intensity variations, color changes, and
minor lens fouling.
For environmental monitoring, simply place
the sensor directly in the water and position
it where the turbidity is to be monitored. For
process monitoring, you can place the sensor
into a low-pressure pipe for online monitor-
ing using a standard 1.5 inch compression
coupler.
Record, Control, and Display
For handheld turbidity monitoring, the
WQ770-B Turbidity Meter (page 72) com-
bines the WQ730 with a digital display that
reads in either NTU or ppm. You can add
recording capabilities to the WQ730 with
the GL500 Datalogger (page 122), and you
can use the sensor to control external devices
with the PC300 Controller (page 132).

WQ770-b Turbidity Meter

Portable Turbidity Meter with Sensor, LED Screen, and Control Panel

Features
• In situ turbidity measurement
• Portable unit with completely
submersible sensor
• Simple and convenient to use
• Factory calibrated for immediate
long-term use (recalibration not
required for 6-12 months)
• Marine grade cable with strain relief
• Rugged stainless steel and Delrin®
sensor housing
• Removable light and debris shield
Description
Global Water’s WQ770-b Turbidity Meter
is a highly accurate instrument ideal for a
variety of environmental or process appli-
cations without a permanent installation.
The meter combines a highly accurate
submersible turbidity sensor connected to
a handheld display with 25 ft of marine-
grade cable (optional cable lengths up to
100 ft are available).
Accurate Sensing
In accordance with USEPA Method 180.1
for turbidity measurement, the meter’s
turbidity sensor is a 90 degree scatter
nephelometer. The sensor directs a fo-
cused beam into the subject water. The
light beam reflects off particles in the
water, and the resultant light intensity is
measured by a photodetector positioned
at 90 degrees to the light beam. The de-
tected light intensity is directly propor-
tional to the turbidity of the water. The
turbidity sensor uses a second light detec-
tor to correct for light intensity variations,
color changes, and minor lens fouling.
Capable Display and Control
The handheld meter features a six digit
LED screen, a 4-button control panel, and
an internal lithium battery. The screen
will display readings directly in either
nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) or
parts per million (ppm). The meter also
includes an automatic shutoff feature to
conserve battery power.
Factory Calibrated
The WQ770-b is factory calibrated to the
highest standards and should not require
recalibration for six to twelve months.
User calibration, when required, is very
easy and involves a step-by-step process
directed by the display unit.

Applications
Ideal for river monitoring, stream measurement,
reservoir water quality testing, groundwater

Ion Selective Electrodes

For use with pH/ION 3400i Ion Selective Electrode Analyzer

Description
The ion selective electrodes are available
for a wide range of measurements. The
combination electrodes have built-in ref-
erence electrodes, are excellent in han-

ing small water volumes.
The ion-selective membrane of the elec-
trode consists of a soluble salt of the ion
to be measured (solid state electrodes) or
a PVC-membrane, modified by an ion ex-
changer or ion carrier (matrix electrodes).
The activity of the ions to be measured
determines the electrode current. With
increasing activity of the anions the volt-
age turns more negative, with increasing
activity of cations, more positive. A pH/

What used to be a complicated process is
now easy: just fill the supplied beaker with
the standard solution, immerse the sensor,
and press a button once for one-point cali-
bration for each of the five main parameters
(pH, conductivity, turbidity, DO, and depth).
Two-point calibration is also possible should
more precise data be required.

With its superior durability and high pres-
sure resistance, the W-22XD allows you to
measure at depths 328 ft (100 m) below the
water surface. In addition to rivers, lakes,
and other shallow bodies, you can now take
high-precision water quality measurements
at dams and even in the open sea.
Capable Datalogger
The W-22XD’s built-in memory function
enables continuous measurement for up to
one month. Personnel need not to be present
during the measurement process, the data
can even be captured by personal computers
in remote locations. Data can be viewed us-
ing the W-2000S control unit. NOTE: Either
the DIF040 or DIF050 must be purchased to
export data to a computer.

Handheld meters for field measurements

Description
The pocket pH testers provide a whole new
level of performance in hand-held instru-
ments. Featuring advanced microprocessor
technology the testers offer automatic calibra-
tion and options such as automatic tempera-
ture compensation (ATC), automatic endpoint,
and BNC electrode connection. Sealed com-
ponents and casing are waterproof, and enable
the tester to float when dropped in water. The
pocket pH meters offer replaceable electrode
sensors.
Chek-Mite pH-10
This tester offers value and performance for
pH measurement. This tester automatically
recognizes buffer solutions 4, 7, and 10.01,
and then calibrates on that value—no
manual adjustments to make.

Similar to the Chek-Mite pH-15, this tester
offers the added convenience of automatic
temperature compensation (ATC) and auto-
matic endpoint.
PHT-810
The PHT-810 offers a BNC electrode con-
nector which allows several different elec-
trode options. It has an automatic shutoff
after two hours of operation to conserve the
battery and a small battery symbol showing
the remaining battery charge. The testers
have the ability to store and display the
current pH reading on the screen as well as
displaying the temperature value in °Celsius
or °Fahrenheit. The sampling time can be
changed from 1 to 15 seconds.

Chek-Mite pH-15
This tester measures pH with automatic cali-
bration. Manual endpoint also provides the
capability to freeze the display once a read-
ing has stabilized.

Reagent-free Tests
FAU turbidity
(EN ISO 7027)
Turbidity is caused in liquids by the
presence of undissolved substances. For
undissolved finely dispersed substances the
turbidity can be measured by measuring
the reduction in the intensity of a beam of
light when passed through the liquid, or
by measuring the intensity of the scattered
radiation.
A formazin solution, which must be fresh-
ly prepared and is not commercially avail-
able, is used as a reference solution. Ac-
cording to EN ISO 7027, all instruments
may be used which satisfy the following
requirements: Incoming radiation at 860
nm. The results are given in FAU units
(Formazin Attenuation Units) when the
radiation passing through is measured.
Coloration
(EN ISO 7887: 1994)
If a layer of several meters of pure water is
observed in transmitted light it appears to
have a weakly blue coloration. This color-
ation can alter in the presence of contami-
nants to form a wide range of colorations.
Natural waters are usually colored yellow-
brown by contamination with iron or clay
particles or humic matter. (A green col-
oration can be produced by algae.) The
“true” color of water is determined after
filtration through a 0.45 um filter.
Normally most yellow-brown colored wa-
ters and the outflows of municipal sewage
treatment plants can be measured at 436
nm. The outflows of industrial wastewa-
ter treatment plants show no sharp and
distinctive extinction maxima. For the
investigation of such water it is obligatory
to measure at 436 nm (mercury line); the
1.800.876.1172 www.globalw.com
two other measuring wavelengths 525
nm and 620 nm can, depending on the
filter used, vary slightly from these wave-
lengths. For discontinuous measurements
the standard permits the use of filter pho-
tometers with a spectral bandwidth of <
20 nm for measurements at 436 nm, 525
nm and 620 nm. Thus, for example, in-
struments with 445 nm and 520 nm in-
terference filters with a bandwidth of 10
nm are also suitable. For comparability
with the standard, however, a spectropho-
tometer is required. The results are pre-
sented in m-1 together with the measuring
wavelength, spectral bandwidth, water
temperature and pH.
In some publications the result is given
in DFZ (translucent coloration number);
which is identical with the m-1 result.
(DIN ISO 6271: 19988)
Clear liquids, determination of the color
number with the platinum-cobalt scale (Ha-
zen color number, APHA color number).
Spectrophotometers are mentioned as being
suitable for measuring the stock solutions
at 430 nm, 455 nm, 480 nm and 510 nm.
According to the standard the measurement
itself is carried out with a color comparator
which allows a visual comparison.

Description
The 6308DT Industrial Dissolved Oxy-
gen Transmitter is a rugged microproc-
essor- based instrument assembled in
a watertight, IP65, ¼ DIN panel mount
case. The DO transmitter is designed to
provide accurate and stable readings for
both laboratory and process control ap-
plications.
Capable Display and Functions
The unit simultaneously displays DO, tem-
perature, relay status, and current output
on a large backlit LCD graphic screen. The
unit includes a variety of useful functions,
including: 5 programmable relays, an iso-
lated and reversible 4-20 mA analog out-
put, and programmable offsets and spans.
The transmitter’s microprocessor also per-
forms a self-diagnostic routine every time
you turn on the unit, providing you with
basic information about the unit’s stability.
Easy Setup and Calibration
You can easily perform setup and cali-
bration functions using the transmitter’s
user-friendly guided menu. The unit has
a membrane keypad with tactile and au-
dio feedback to improve durability and
usability. The transmitter also provides

easily recalibrate the DO probe’s param-
eters, and the transmitter only requires a
single calibration, regardless of which dis-
solved oxygen units you use. The trans-
mitter provides a one-point calibration in
air, and the calibration data is then stored
in the unit’s memory for use on power
up.
Accurate Measurements
The unit’s sensor connections are standard
terminal blocks for tinned leads. The unit
uses a “polygraphic clark” membrane for
its DO measurements and a precise ther-
mistor for temperature, providing you with
accurate readings. DO sensors and mem-
brane kits are sold separately. You can se-
lect a DO sensor with a stainless steel body
(LD-900-6-DO) or one with an epoxy body
(ID-900-5-DO).
Datalogging and Control Capabilities
The transmitter includes a RS-485 inter-
face, which will let you log all data with
an IBM© PC/AT compatible computer.
Multiple DO transmitters can be con-
nected together so that you can gather
data quickly and efficiently. The 6308DT
is compatible with Global Water’s GL500
Global Logger for data recording (page
122) and PC300 for controlling external
devices (page 132).

tings conserves reagents by allowing you
to set the cycle time from 90 seconds up
to 10 minutes. The low volume reagent
and sample chamber saves on reagent
costs and decreases water consumption.
A removable sample cuvette allows for
simple cleaning and maintenance, and
the viewable sample chamber provides a
clear view of the sample cuvette while the
instrument is sampling.
The CL500 provides a programmable
4-20 mA output signal that may be used

OxiTop-IS BOD Measurement Instrumentation

Pressure sensors for BOD testing and measurements.

Description
OxiTop IS 6, IS 12
Measurement using OxiTop® Biological
Oxygen Demand (BOD) Instrumenta-
tion is based on pressure measurement
in a closed system: microorganisms in
the sample consume the oxygen and form
CO2. This is absorbed by NaOH, creating
a vacuum, which can be read directly as a
measured value in mg/l BOD.
The sample volume being tested regulates
the amount of oxygen available for a com-
plete BOD measurement. BOD measure-
ment ranges of up to 4,000 mg/l can be
measured using different sample volumes.
The OxiTop® BOD instrumentation heads
(green and yellow for differentiation of
inflow/outflow) have an AutoTemp func-
tion: if the sample temperature is too cold,
the start of BOD measurement is automati-
cally delayed (by at least 1 hour) until a
constant temperature has been reached.
Apart from the automatic storage of 5

Weather Station Installation
Global Water’s WE800 and WE900
Weather Stations include full assembly
on a sturdy and durable 1inch diam-
eter, 6 ft tall, and 3 ft wide stainless
steel tube frame. The Weather Station
frame is designed for durability and
endurance in harsh conditions. The
wind direction and wind speed sensors
are coupled to the frame’s T-mounting
bar, and the temperature and humid-
ity sensors are installed within a solar
shield, which includes a stainless steel
elbow coupler for easy mounting to
the frame. You can mount the weather
station frame onto an existing base, or
you can select the optional WE830
Weather Station Tripod to set up an
upright installation (see Ordering &
Options).
The WE770 solar shield is included
with the WE800 and WE900 Weath-
er Stations to protect the temperature
and humidity sensors. This shield is
a ventilated sun shield with high re-
flectiveness, low heat retention, and
low thermoconductivity. Global Wa-
ter recommends using the shield to
protect the temperature and humidity
sensors from the sun, as these sensors
will not read accurately if exposed to
direct sunlight.
Proper siting for your weather station
sensors is important to ensure accu-
rate readings. For example, the wind
speed and direction sensors should
not be installed too close to a building,
as turbulence created by the building
can interfere with readings. The op-
tional solar radiation sensor should be
installed in direct sunlight on a level
surface (bubble level and leveling
screws are included).

Water’s GL500 Global Logger (see page 122
and PC300 Process Controller (see page

Specifications
Wind speed and direction are deter-
mined by air pressure gradients, or the
regions between weather fronts, as air
moves in the direction of a low pres-
sure system. The steeper the gradient,
the stronger the wind. In addition,
wind speed and direction are deter-
mined by many other factors including
the Coriolis effect, friction, and land
topography. In the US, wind speed
is typically reported in meters per sec-
ond or miles per hour. For shipping or
boating, wind speed can be reported
in knots (a knot equals one nautical
mile per hour or approximately 1.15
miles per hour). Wind direction is al-
ways stated as the direction the wind
is coming from. For example, a wind
out of the east is given as an east wind,
with a wind direction of 90 degrees.

WE600-700 Humidity & Temperature Sensors

Rugged Humidity and Temperature Transmitters with Solar Shield

. . . Continued from Previous Page

Why Measure Relative Humidity?
Air moisture content is typically de-
scribed by a relative humidity mea-
surement. Relative humidity is the ra-
tio of the water vapor content in the air
to the highest possible concentration
of water vapor that the air can hold.
A reading of 100 percent relative
humidity means that the air is totally
saturated with water vapor and can-
not hold any more, creating the pos-
sibility of rain. The amount of water
vapor that the air can hold increases
with temperature, therefore relative
humidity will decrease with increasing
temperature if the actual amount of
water vapor stays the same.
Relative humidity can cause effects
such as discomfort in people and ani-
mals, damage of materials in storage
facilities, reduced production capac-
ity, impact on quality of construction
materials, and more. Relative humidity
readings made by instruments such as
Global Water’s WE600 allow people
to prepare for and control these ef-
fects.

• Marine grade cable with strain relief
• Fully encapsulated electronics

WE710 Surface Temperature Sensor

Flat Surface Temperature Sensors for Remote Monitoring

Why Measure Solar Panel Tempera-

ture?

Solar panels are made up of solar cells

which convert light into electricity that
can be used to power many items rang-
ing from handheld devices to supplement-
ing the main power grid. Power is mea-
sured in watts or kilowatts. To generate
kilowatts single solar panels are set up in
large arrays. In most cases it is important
to monitor and estimate the amount of
power being provided by the solar pan-
els, especially when connected to a main
power grid.

Solar panels operate over a wide range

of voltages and currents which determine
the power output. As a panel’s tempera-
ture increases, its output current increases
exponentially while the voltage output is
reduced linearly. This property means
that the warmer the panel the less power
is output. The power loss is dependent
on the type of panel being used. For ex-
ample, many common crystalline silicon
solar panels can lose power at a rate of
0.50%/oC, while high efficiency solar
cells lose power at a rate of 0.35%/oC.
In an industry that focuses on cost per
amount of generated power it is impor-
tant to know when a solar panel is per-
forming poorly.
Solar panel temperature can be moni-

TLC 730 Handheld Infrared Thermometers

Handheld Digital Infrared Thermometer for Field Measurements

Description
The The TLC 730, Handheld Infrared
Thermometers function as non-con-
tact infrared and contact thermometers.
The user can always toggle between the
thermometer’s two operating modes. Ad-
ditionally the instrument has a dual laser
pointer that helps the user aim the tem-
perature sensor at the target when they
are making measurements.
Non-contact Measurements
The ideal distance in most applications for
the digital infrared thermometers is from
2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm), measuring a
0.8-2.5 inch (2 to 6.3 cm) diameter circle.
As the distance from the object increases,
the spot size of the area measured by the
thermometer becomes larger. Make sure
that the target is larger than the spot size.
The smaller the target, the closer you
transparent surface instead. Steam, dust,
smoke, etc., can prevent accurate mea-

Hold the unit back and at an angle to en-
sure the most accurate measurements.
NOTE: When measuring liquid products,
be sure to stir the product vigorously
while using the thermometer to measure
the surface of the liquid. Note: DO NOT

EBI 85 and EBI 125 Temperature Data Loggers

Waterproof temperature data loggers for remote monitoring.

Description
The programmable EBI-85 and EBI-125,
temperature data loggers are easy to han-
dle and have many applications. With the
temperature data logger you can measure
and store up to 18,000 temperature values
with a sample setting from one second to
8 hours per reading. The sampling rate
(interval) and ambient temperature have
influence on the life span of the battery.
For example at 77 °F (25 °C) if the tem-
perature data logger is set to sample once
every second the internal batteries will
last about one year, however if the tem-
perature data logger is set to sample once
an hour the batteries will last eight year.
The EBI-85 temperature data logger meas-
ures up to 185°F (85°C), while the EBI-
125 measures up to 257°F (125°C). To
program the temperature data loggers the
user needs the WINLOG 2000 software
and the EBIAE-S temperature data logger
interface. Features

PC300 Process Controller

System for Measurement and Control of a Variety of Parameters

Features
• Control a variety of external devices
based on a variety of sensor types
• Digital LCD screen
• Easy to use 4 button interface with user
selectable sensor types
• 4-20 mA analog output for recorders or
displays
• Two independent output relays with
parallel open collector signal lines
• Water resistant enclosure
• Environmental enclosure optional
Description
Global Water’s PC300 Process Controller
is a highly reliable and accurate measure-
ment and control device for all of our 2
and 3 wire 4-20 mA sensors. The PC300
comes pre-programmed for use with 10
sensors and 14 engineering units. The
PC300-C can also be custom programmed
at the factory to monitor any sensor in any
units selected by the customer, including
sensors with voltage outputs. Please con-
tact Global Water regarding this option.
Accurate Control
The PC300 includes two separate relays
for controlling all types of external de-
vices, including samplers, alarms, mix-
ers, pumps, control valves, floodgates,
and telemetry systems. Each relay is in-
dependently programmable to trigger on
maximum and/or minimum levels in one
of three different modes.
Capable Display
The PC300 includes an LCD display that
shows the type of sensor that is being
monitored, the data reading, and the engi-
neering units. The display also indicates if
either of the PC300’s two relays have been
triggered since last reset, and if so, which
relay was triggered and whether the maxi-
mum or minimum limit was exceeded.
Easy Installation
The Process Controller is enclosed in a
rugged case that can be easily secured to
a wall, panel, or different types of mount-
ing hardware. Please note that, while the
case is watertight and will resist mois-
ture, Global Water does not recommend
mounting the PC300 outdoors without
additional protection. For outdoor use,
select the FCBAT Environmental Enclo-
sure option, which includes an enclosure,
battery, and battery charger.
Datalogging Options
For combined control and datalogging ca-
pabilities, you can select the PC300-DS (for
serial communication) or the PC300-DU
(for USB communication). These options
include a process controller and an inter-
nal datalogger. (For datalogger specifica-
tions, please see the GL500-2-1 on page

The WA400-AC externally powered ver-
sion allows you to the use the alarm
with water level sensors, any standard
float switch, or any contact closure. Our
WA400-BU version includes an automatic
battery backup in addition to standard AC
power– a great feature if your AC power
source may be unreliable.
Augment with Accessories
Our rugged WA600 Water Alarm Sen-
sors (see page 15) provide high and low
water level detection capabilities for the
WA400-AC unit. (Please note that the
WA600 sensor should not be used with

AD200-4 and AD200-1 Voice Autodialers

Autodialers for Easy Voice Alarming

Description
Global Water’s AD200 Voice Alarm Auto-
dialers provide cost-effective notification
of emergency conditions such as high
water levels, equipment failures, and
security breaches. For applications with-
out a land line, see the CP200 accessory,
which adds a cellular interface for remote
AD200 applications.
Multiple and Single Alarm Models
The AD200-4 accepts 4 alarm inputs and
will store and dial up to eight numbers,
including numbers for standard (voice)
phones, most cell phones, and pagers.
For single alarm applications, the low-
cost AD200-1 accepts one alarm input
and will dial up to four phone and pager
numbers. When either model senses an
alarm, it begins to dial out, sending your
own pre-recorded alarm messages– voice
messages to your phone list and numeric
codes to your pager list.

parties. Except as set forth herein, there are no other agreements between GWI and the Customer, oral or written, with respect to the products sold by GWI (including any made or implied from past dealings). Trade custom, trade
usage and past performance are hereby superseded and shall not be used to interpret these terms and conditions.
Product Specifications
The technical specifications provided in GWI’s catalog, literature, or in any written quotations are intended to be accurate. However, in a continuing effort to improve our products, GLOBAL WATER INTSTRUMENTATION reserves the
right to make technical changes to products at any time during the period between the acceptance of the Customer’s order and delivery; provided that such changes will not reduce the performance of the products sold. The technical
documentation included with GWI’S offer and/or delivery, such as illustrations, drawings, indication of weight, etc. will only be binding upon GWI where expressly stated.
Confidentiality
Cost estimates, technical literature, drawings and other details provided to Customer by GWI may contain data that embody trade secrets and confidential know-how of commercial value to GWI. Customer shall keep such information
confidential, not disclose such information to any other person or entity, not use such information except in connection with the products supplied hereunder; and not sell, lease, loan or permit any other person or entity to use such
information for any purpose, without GWI’s prior written consent. Nothing herein shall restrict the use of information available to the general public.
Price
Products shall be sold and invoiced at prices established by written contract between the parties, and, in the absence of a written contract, as quoted by GWI (provided Customer has issued a purchase order which has been accepted
by GWI prior to the expiration date of the quotation). The agreed prices are linked to type and quantity of product(s), and may therefore change if the Customer desires to amend his or its order. In the event of cost increases
pertaining to material and/or manufacturing of products during the period between acceptance of an order and delivery, GWI reserves the right to increase the sales price accordingly.
Payment Terms
Payment Terms are set forth in the GWI Sales Order or Quotation. If payment is not received in accordance with the Payment Terms, Customer will be required to pay interest at the rate of 18% per annum. If a check, draft or
credit card payment is returned or rejected at any time, the Customer agrees to pay GWI a $50.00 handling charge plus any associated bank fees or charges, related to the returned or rejected amount. GWI reserves the right to
refuse payment by check, credit card, draft or wire transfer and may institute C.O.D. or cash-in-advance payment terms at any time. Customer will be responsible for collection costs, including attorneys’ fees should Customer fail
to meet the obligations of the Payment Terms.
Cancellation
GWI sells certain items which are non-cancellable and non-returnable. If Customer purchases any item which is non-cancellable and non-returnable, GWI shall indicate on the Sales Order or Quotation that the item(s) is non-cancel-
lable and non-returnable. For purchases which are cancellable, valid cancellations may be subject to a cancellation charge of up to 15% of net price of the Customer’s order. Cancellations will be valid provided that GWI receives
written notice of such cancellation from the Customer a minimum of 30 days prior to the shipment date. Customer understands that any cancellation that does not meet the terms of this paragraph will be considered invalid and
the Customer will be required to fulfill the Payment Terms.
Default
If the Customer fails to carry out any of the terms as set forth in GWI’s Sales Order, Quotation, or these Terms and Conditions, files for bankruptcy protection, goes into receivership, or makes an assignment for the benefit of credi-
tors, then: (i) all monies due GWI from the Customer shall become immediately due and payable; (ii) GWI may cancel all pending accepted orders without prejudice to any of GWI’s other rights or remedies existing at the time of
cancellation;(iii) GWI may resell any goods previously agreed to be supplied or held for the Customer; and (iv) GWI may postpone any shipments, even if in transit. In such event, the Customer shall pay GWI for any loss, damages,
costs, and attorneys’ fees arising from the Customer’s default, including costs of collection and suit.
Product Shipment Terms
All products are sold F.O.B. point of shipment, GWI location, unless otherwise specified in writing by GWI. All charges, expenses, fees, duties, taxes, expedite fee(s), and insurance related to the packing or transporting of products
to Customer’s designated site are charged to Customer. Risk of loss and title shall pass to Customer as soon as the products have been placed with a transport agent. The equipment will be insured for transit only at Customer’s
specific request, with corresponding costs being charged to Customer. Unless specified by the Customer, GWI will select the means of shipping and routing which it deems appropriate. Although reasonable efforts will be made, no
assurance can be given that GWI will select the most reliable or economical method of transportation, and we expressly disclaim responsibility thereof.
Minimum Order Requirements
GWI requires a minimum dealer product order of $50.00 for domestic dealers and $100.00 for international dealers. An “order” is considered to be a purchase order for products to be shipped to a single location.
Drop Shipments
Upon Customer’s request, standard drop shipment orders will be shipped to Customer’s end-user, subject to stock availability. For faster processing, see “Expedite Orders” below.
Expedite Orders
There is a $60.00 surcharge for orders requesting same day shipment provided GWI receives the order by 1:00PM PDT and “subject to stock availability”.
Restocking Charges
Prior approval must be obtained from GWI to return any product. (See contact information listed below under “To Return Goods.”) Only new (in-the-box) goods may be returned, and only within 30 days of shipment by GWI, for
full credit. A 35% restocking charge will apply to any product returned beyond 30 days. Products may not be returned or exchanged after six months of first receipt. GWI will determine if the product is in acceptable condition for
return. Older items, service parts, and discontinued items cannot be returned.
Short Shipments
GWI must be notified within 30 days of receipt of invoice of any item or billing discrepancies. A credit memo will be issued to remedy all substantiated claims of short shipments and a new order placed for the missing products. Any
shipment discrepancy claimed after 30 days of invoice date will not be honored and GWI will not issue credit.
Notice of Defects
The Customer is required to examine the product(s) delivered immediately upon receipt thereof and to report to GWI in writing any visible defects within 10 working days of receipt. Defects that are not visible must be reported to
GWI in writing within 10 days after discovery of such defect. Failure to report defects strictly within the time periods previously stated will be deemed an unqualified waiver of any and all rights to warranty claims.
To Return Goods
Prior approval must be obtained from GWI to return any product. Contact GWI, at the number listed below, within 30 days of receipt of goods for a return authorization number (“RMA”). No returns will be permitted after this 30-day
period, unless otherwise authorized by GWI. All returns are to be shipped freight prepaid with the RMA number clearly marked on the outside of the shipping box and included inside the box.
