Advantages

  • Latest technology that incorporates and improves on recognised groundwater data logger equipment
  • Replaceable batteries that typically last 4 to 5 years
  • More accurate and stable than the leading groundwater logger competitors
  • Stores 50,000 records with a non-volatile memory to eliminate data loss in the event of a power failure
  • Excellent value for money
  • Accurate enough for surface as well as groundwater level monitoring
  • Heavier than comparable water level instruments so sinks quickly
  • Durable, rugged and robust
  • Easy to deploy
  • Easy to use
  • Easy to connect with industry standard protocols (Modbus)
  • Available in cabled or wireless versions.

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
