HOBO 250-Foot Depth Water Level Data Logger

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Description

 

The HOBO water level data logger features high accuracy at a great price and ease-of-use, with no cumbersome vent tubes or desiccants to maintain. This data logger is ideal for recording water levels and temperatures in shallow wells, streams, lakes and freshwater wetlands.

Feature

• Lightning protection - no long signal wires, and electronics are shielded in stainless steel housing for use in freshwater (see the Water Level logger sensor location drawing)
• HOBOware Pro software provides easy conversion to accurate water level reading, fully compensated for barometric pressure (see demo) temperature, and water density.
• Multiple-rate sampling (see demo) allows faster sampling at critical times such as when pumping starts or stops.
• Available in 4 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

* 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%.
