Overview

With its narrow range, this logger provides the best accuracy in shallow waters. A great value and easy deployment with no cumbersome vent tubes or desiccants to maintain.  Records water level and temperature up to 13-ft depths in shallow wells, streams, lakes, freshwater wetlands (stainless-steel), saltwater/brackish wetlands and tidal areas (titanium).

Features

  • Lightning protection - no long signal wires, and electronics are shielded in a metal housing
  • HOBOware Pro software provides easy conversion to accurate water level reading, fully compensated for barometric pressure, temperature, and water density
  • Multiple-rate sampling allows faster sampling at critical times such as when pumping starts or stops
  • Available in four depth ranges
  • Ideal for use in wells, streams, lakes, wetlands, and tidal areas
  • No-vent-tube design for easy reliable deployment
  • Available in stainless and titanium versions
  • Durable ceramic pressure sensor
  • 3-point NIST-traceable calibration certificate included

Description: ce
The CE Marking identifies this product as complying with all relevant directives in the European Union (EU).

* Water Level Accuracy: With accurate reference water level measurement, known water density, accurate Barometric Compensation Assistant data, and a stable temperature environment.

** Raw Pressure Accuracy: Absolute pressure sensor accuracy includes all sensor drift, temperature, and hysteresis-induced errors.

*** Changes in Temperature: Allow 10 minutes in water to achieve full temperature compensation of the pressure sensor. Maximum error due to rapid thermal changes is approximately 0.5%.
