Solinst Levelogger 5

Description:

The Levelogger 5 records highly accurate groundwater and surface water level and temperature measurements. It combines a pressure sensor, temperature detector, 10-year lithium battery, and datalogger, sealed within a 22 mm x 160 mm (7/8" x 6.3") stainless steel housing with a corrosion-resistant coating baked-on using polymerization technology.

The Levelogger 5 measures absolute pressure using a Hastelloy® pressure sensor, offering high resolution and an accuracy of 0.05% FS. Readings are stable in extreme pressure and temperature conditions. The Hastelloy sensor can withstand 2 times over-pressure without permanent damage. Combined with the durable coating inside and out, the Levelogger 5 has high corrosion and abrasion resistance in harsh environments.

The Levelogger 5 uses a Faraday cage design, which protects against power surges or electrical spikes caused by lightning. Its durable maintenance-free design, high accuracy and stability, make the Levelogger 5 the most reliable instrument for long-term, continuous water level recording.

Applications

• Aquifer characterization: pumping tests, slug tests, etc.

• Watershed, drainage basin and recharge monitoring

• Stream gauging, lake and reservoir management

• Harbour and tidal fluctuation measurement

• Wetlands and stormwater run-off monitoring

• Water supply and tank level measurement

• Mine water and landfill leachate management

• Long-term water level monitoring in wells, surface water bodies and seawater environments
