Solinst 3001 Levelogger 5 Data Loggers
Minimum Requirements
Required|
Levelogger Data Loggers
Variable Part Numbers
| Your choice of data loggers will be based on:
- Parameters to be monitored (temperature, water level, conductivity)
- Accuracy required
- Anticipated maximum submergence depth
- How long you will be monitoring (do you need a Bar logger, more robust memory, longer battery life?)
- Type of sampling required (linear, event-based, scheduled)
|
---|---|---|---
Required|
Leve logger Software
| Leve logger PC Software is available as a free download at http://downloads.solinst.com/
- Program and start your datalogger with your desired sampling regime and memory mode
- View real time data
- Download, view, save or export logged data
- Access utilities: Diagnostic, Firmware Upgrades, Conductivity Calibration
Required| Desktop Reader 5
| The Desktop Reader 5 provides the most stable communication between the Leve logger datalogger and the Leve logger PC Software.
*Alternatively, you can use a Field Reader 5 for this same purpose
Field Reader 5
| *The Field Reader 5 is an alternative option to the Desktop Reader 5 for connecting your Levelogger to a PC for communication with Levelogger Software. It can be more convenient when connecting to Leve loggers in the field and when calibrating a Leve logger 5 LTC.
Deployment Options
Optional|
Wireline/Kevlar Rope
Variable Part Numbers
| Use this method when you wish to minimize up front costs, and pre-program
Leveloggers in the office and not require direct communication with the
datalogger while it is deployed.
---|---|---
Required
if direct communication to a deployed Leve logger is needed
|
L5 Direct Read Cable
Variable Part Numbers
| Use this method when you want direct communication with your Leve logger while it is deployed, and to view real-time readings. Avoid removing the datalogger from its deployment, saving time in the field.
In-field Communication Cables/Adaptors
Required
if using Direct Read Cables
|
PC Interface Cable
| A PC Interface Cable is used to connect to the Direct Read Cable of a deployed Levelogger and your PC for communication with Levelogger Software.
|
---|---|---|---
Required
if not using Direct Read Cables, but wish to connect to an in-field communication device
|
L5 Threaded and Slip Fit Optical Adaptors
| An L5 Threaded or Slip Fit Adaptor allows direct connection of a Leve logger to a Leve logger 5 App Interface, SRU, DataGrabber 5, or PC Interface Cable.|
In-field Communication Devices
Optional|
DataGrabber 5
| A DataGrabber 5 connects to an L5 Direct Read Cable or Optical Adaptor to
allow Leve logger data file to be transferred and saved to a USB drive. No
access to Leve logger settings.
---|---|---
Optional|
SRU (Solinst Readout Unit)
| A Solinst Readout Unit (SRU) connects to an L5 Direct Read Cable or Optical
Adaptor and displays instant water level readings from the connected Leve
logger, performs real-time logging, provides Leve logger status, and allows
saving and downloading of data to the SRU. No access to Leve logger settings.
Optional|
Leve logger 5 App Interface
| A Leve logger 5 App Interface connects to an L5 Direct Read Cable or Optical Adaptor to provide a wireless Bluetooth® connection between the Leve logger and the Solinst Leve logger App on your iOS or Android™ smart device. The Leve logger App is a free download. With the Solinst Leve logger App you have full access to datalogger settings; you can download and view data, view real-time data, program your Leve loggers, and more. Data can be e-mailed from your smart device directly to your office.
Optional Deployment Accessories
Optional|
Well Caps
| The 2″ Locking Well Caps can be used for both wireline/cord and Direct Read Cable deployment. The well cap has a convenient eyelet for suspending Leveloggers. Well caps are vented.
The well cap insert has two openings to accommodate direct read cables for both a Levelogger and Barologger. Adaptors are available to fit 4” wells.
---|---|---
Optional|
Support Hanger Bracket
| Used with the 2″ Locking Well Cap, a Support Hanger Bracket provides an
option for supporting and organizing down well wires or cords, or for coiling
extra Direct Read Cable if the full length is not required.
Optional|
Biofoul Screen
| Use a Biofoul Screen when your Levelogger will be deployed for extended
periods, especially in coastal and saltwater environments, to avoid the build-
up of microorganisms, plants, algae, etc. Simply slips onto the sensor end of
the datalogger.
Optional|
Artesian Well Fitting
| For monitoring artesian condition, Solinst provides well fitting options for in-well and top of well installation, and can accommodate the use of L5 Direct Read Cables.
Other Requirements
Required
if using a Leve logger 5 LTC
|
Conductivity Calibration Solutions
Variable Part Numbers
| If you know the approximate conductivity range of the water that you will be
measuring, best accuracy when calibrating your unit is to select two
solutions—one above, and one below that range. Though, you can calibrate up to
four points. Solution options are 1,413 μS/cm, 5,000 μS/cm, 12,880 μS/cm and
80,000 μS/cm.
---|---|---
Remote Data Options
Optional|
Level Sender 5
Multiple Parts Required (Contact Solinst)
| The LevelSender 5 uses 4G cellular communication to send Levelogger data
from the field to your Home Station PC and smart device using email or SMS.
Fits in a 2” well. Barometrically compensated water levels can be obtained and
reported using the built-in barometer. Connect up to two dataloggers.
---|---|---
Optional|
SolSat 5 Satellite Telemetry
Multiple Parts Required (Contact Solinst)
| SolSat 5 Satellite Telemetry leverages Iridium satellite technology to send
Levelogger data in the field to a secure web portal or to the SolSat 5 Wi-Fi
App for download. An internal barometer provides compensated water level
readings. Connects to one datalogger.
Optional|
STS Telemetry System
Multiple Parts
Required
(Contact Solinst)
| STS Telemetry Systems use an LTE digital cellular modem to send Levelogger
data from the field to your Home Station PC. Connect up to four dataloggers.
Optional|
SDI-12 Interface Cable
| Solinst Leveloggers are able to communicate with third-party dataloggers using SDI-12 protocol by connecting a Levelogger’s Direct Read Cable to a Solinst SDI-12 Interface Cable.
