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, waterthight housing, flood-proof and suitable for long-term use in the field
- Compensation of 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 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 weir
- Variable cabel lenghts are possible
- System at a good value for money level
Fields of application
SOMMER level data loggers are considered to be the ideal measuring instruments in order to reliably record water level in level pipes and wells. Moreover, the PD-product family is a useful tool for hydrography, the 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 the water management. Simple and cost efficiently 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.
