The
ECG-L7 Electrical Contact Gauge is used primarily as a reference gauge
over a cased stilling well. The unit consists of a powder coated steel
frame, a hand operated reel, a control box and a push button to check
the battery voltage and lamp operation.
OPERATION:
A
steel measuring tape is fitted on the reel and the frame bolted to the
tabletop. The measuring tape is simply fed from the reel until the
weight makes contact with the water surface. This contact completes the
electrical circuit and causes the lamp to illuminate. The reel is then
locked in position and the tape reading observed at the adjustable
cursor provided on the reel mounting bracket.
