Model 101/Mini 101
Water Level
Measurement Devices
The Mini 101 Water Level Meter is ideal for use
in narrow diameter applications as small as 3/8" (10 mm).
The narrow 1/4" (6 mm) tape is mounted on
a convenient small reel that is light weight and fits easily into a
backpack. The accurate, flat white tape is marked each 1/100 ft. or
each mm.
The Mini 101 is available in 30 ft, 65 ft, 10m
and 20m lengths with a choice of the 1/4" (6mm) P1 probe, or the
heavier 3/8" (10mm) P2 probe (both of which are by special order in
quantities of 10).
Model
101 Operating Principles
The Model 101 Water Level Meter uses a choice
of probe designs, attached to a permanently marked polyethylene tape,
fitted on a well-balanced reel. It is powered by a standard 9 volt
battery housed in an easy-access battery drawer. The conductors
embedded within the tape each have seven strands of stainless steel
for strength and flexibility.
The probe incorporates an insulating gap
between electrodes. When contact is made with water, the circuit is
completed, activating a loud buzzer and a light. The water level is
then determined by taking a reading directly from the tape at the top
of the well casing or borehole.

Tape Specifications
The high quality polyethylene tape reels smoothly, remains flexible
and hangs straight in the well, irrespective of temperature. Permanent
markings each millimeter or 1/100 ft. allow accurate readings,
traceable to national standards.
Stranded stainless steel conductors resist corrosion, provide
strength and are non-stretch. They make the tape very easy to repair
and splice. The dog-bone design avoids adherance to wet surfaces.
Markings are permanently impregnated onto one side of the tape and are
available in your choice of scale or with a combination of scales.

Tape Guide/Datum
A tape guide is provided with each standard Water Level Meter. It
protects the tape from damage on rough edges of well casing and
ensures easy, consistent measurements, regardless of who takes the
readings. It can also provide reel support on the casing.
