Onset HOBO Logger Measures and Records Water Level and Temperature
The water level data logger is designed to accurately measure and log water levels and temperatures in wells, streams, lakes, wetlands and tidal areas. With no cumbersome vents, this logger is completely self-contained. The logger features lightning protection, ceramic pressure sensor, programmable start time and date, data storage up to 21,700 total samples, up to 8 simulataneous sampling rates and a 5 year battery life.
Available in Stainless Steel Housing or Titanium Housing Versions.
Available in 0 to 13ft, 0 to 30ft, 0 to 100ft and 0 to 250ft Depth Versions.
Deluxe Barometric Pressure and Starter Kits Available
Required with the Water Level Data Logger
>> HOBOware™ Pro Software Kit
>> Optic USB Base Station or HOBO Waterproof Shuttle Data Transporter
NOTES:
>> All depth specifications assume use in water at sea level
>> For deployment in saltwater see our application note on 316 stainless steel and possible corrosion in saltwater or contact us to discuss your application
>> Titanium Version Recommended for Saltwater Deployment
Water Level Logger Features
- HOBOware™ software provides easy conversion to accurate water level readings, fully compensated for barometric pressure, temperature and water density
- Use either a second water level logger or a HOBO Weather Station for barometric compensation when needed (one barometric data set can be used with all water level loggers in that area)
- HOBOware provides comprehensive graphing, analysis and reporting
- No-vent-tube design eliminates installation/maintenance issues and errors associated with vent tubes, such as bulkiness, desiccant maintenance, water in tubes, cuts, and decontamination between deployments.
- Fully sealed housing insures many years of trouble-free operation
- Optical/USB interface for years of reliable data offload in wet environments—no mechanical or elastomer connectors to fail
- Streamlined housing for snag-free deployment in wells
- Lightning protection—no long signal wires, and electronics are shielded in stainless steel housing
- Durable ceramic pressure sensor
- Simple wireline mounting makes it easy to hang logger in wells, hidden from vandals
- Multiple-rate sampling allows faster sampling at critical times such as when pumping starts or stops
- Includes calibration certificate of accuracy versus NIST-traceable standards at three pressure points (15, 21 and 29 psia)
- Requires HOBOware Software Kit (PC and MAC Versions) and USB Optic Station
