Features

Sensor
Measures water level, temperature & time
Thermally compensated – great where water temperatures vary, such as in streams or industrial tank applications
± 0.05% FS
Low power – 4 to 5 year battery life
316 stainless steel, fluoropolymer & acetal construction (titanium optional)
SDI 12 protocol — for great flexibility
Datalogger
Non-volatile memory so your data will not be lost in the event of a power failure
Pause logging feature – temporarily pause the logging while repositioning or transporting sensor
Delayed start feature – state a specific future start time which makes it easy to set several dataloggers to start at the same time
Cabling & Networking
Wireless connectivity
RS485 network – allows several data loggers to be networked together and provides much longer cable leads
Field-serviceable connectors – easily remove the connector, route cable through well seals, walls, or conduit and then replace connector
Available as cable less or with a user attachable PU or ETFE cable
Software
Comes with free Aqua4Plus control software to get you up and running immediately
View your data in real-time
Easy export to spreadsheets and databases
Barometric compensation utility
Update sensor via firmware while in the field—great for future updates
