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 – 4.5 year battery life

316 stainless steel, fluoropolymer & acetal construction (titanium optional)

Modbus® RTU 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
