Level Data Logger PD-3/4/5

DATA LOGGER WITH PROBES FOR GROUNDWATER MONITORING

Level Data Loggers are the ideal measurement devices for reliable measuring of water level and temperature, conductivity or pH-value, or further parameters in groundwater, at springs or lakes. Appropriately to the measuring requirements diverse loggers and probes can be supplied.

FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES

  • Measuring up to four different parameters
  • Compact, watertight housing, flood-proof, and suitable for long-term use in the field
  • Compensation for barometric fluctuations and temperature fluctuations as a standard
  • Data retrieval locally or by means of data transmission (only PD-5)
  • Convenient back-check measuring by use of an electric contact gauge without the need to dismantle the equipment
  • Energy supply for up to 10 years of operating time or 2,000,000 measurements
  • Universal range of application: level pipes, wells, open water, or measurement at the weir
  • Variable cable lengths are possible
  • The system at a good value for money level

Description

FIELDS OF APPLICATION

SOMMER level data loggers are considered to be the ideal measuring instruments in order to reliably record water levels in level pipes and wells. Moreover, the PD-product family is a useful tool for hydrography, and groundwater monitoring as well as for water resources management, applicable for measurements in open water, water reservoirs, or tanks where it builds a dependable tool for water management. Simple and cost-efficient parameters like water level, temperature, conductivity, etc. are recorded.

 

PD-MINI (MAX. 2 PARAMETERS)

Reliably measure water level and temperature. The PD-Mini is ideal for reliable monitoring of groundwater monitoring wells. It is an inexpensive solution to measure and record water level and temperature, even under extreme conditions such as intense heat/cold or high humidity. The pressure probe and the logger form a compact and rigid unit.
