2.4 INSTALLING THE 6500 MONITOR
The 6500 Monitor should be located within 250-ft (75 m) of the sonde. The distance limit is
based on noise tolerance of the SDI-12 communication protocol. If you choose to install the
monitor more than the length of the sonde cable away from the sonde, additional hardware and
wiring will be necessary. A rail mount kit #6509, and panel mount kit # 6510 are also available
for the 6500 Monitor. See Appendix D, Accessories, for more information.
WALL MOUNTING OPTION
Although the monitor is designed for outdoor deployment, some operators may prefer the
convenience of reading the monitor under shelter, for example, inside a nearby building. Figure 4
shows this indoor type of installation. Wall-mounting the 6500 Monitor is a simple process using
the enclosed mounting hardware.
