Description
Benefits
Automatic Compensations
Automatically compensate for changes in atmospheric pressure with the vented probe. Reduce the amount of equipment needed in field by forgoing additional barometric pressure sensors and achieve better accuracy with a single compensated sensor.
Position Sensor
Remotely monitor probe movement in the field with an internal inclinometer, enabling warnings if sensor position has changed due to in-stream events via automatic status flags or direct measurement.
Internal Humidity Sensor
The integrated internal humidity sensor outputs automatic status flags or direct humidity measurements to help you understand if condensation may have formed, impacting your pressure measurements.
Data Processing
Internally convert high frequency (4 Hz) measurements to calculations such as computed averages, minimum/maximum levels, and instantaneous values over user defined intervals, enabling greater information reporting and eliminating manual data post-processing/analysis.
Discharge Calculations
Automatically calculate discharge from either a user defined rating table or ISO 1100-2 exponential formula set-up via SDI-12 commands. Minimize the need for data post-processing by directly outputting discharge from a trusted level sensor.
Rugged Design
Ceramic pressure cell resistant to physical force and enclosure made of high-quality, saltwater resistant 904L stainless steel for use in coastal environments. The robust ceramic pressure cell offers industry-leading accuracy and does not deform over time like membrane technology, providing long-term measurement stability.
