Solinst Levelogger 5 App Interface for Android
Introduction
The Levelogger® 5 App Interface uses Bluetooth® wireless technology to connect a Solinst datalogger to an Android™ smart device running Android 9.0 or higher. Please see the list of tested devices on the last page of this quick start guide.
Once the connection is made, you can use the Solinst Levelogger App to interact with the datalogger. The Solinst Levelogger App allows you to view real time data from the connected datalogger, as well as view, download, and e-mail logged readings. You can also program the dataloggers or apply a saved settings file.
The Levelogger 5 App Interface is compatible with the Levelogger 5 series of dataloggers, LevelVent 5, AquaVent 5, as well as previous Levelogger Edge series dataloggers, and LevelVent and AquaVent using their most current firmware versions.
Levelogger 5 App Interface Connection
The Levelogger 5 App Interface connects to the top end of a Levelogger’s L5 Direct Read Cable or L5 Optical Adaptor, LevelVent 5 Wellhead, or AquaVent 5 Wellhead Connector Cable.
To connect the Levelogger 5 App Interface, simply hold onto the top end of the Direct Read/Connector Cable/Wellhead, and thread the coupling of the Levelogger 5 App Interface onto the connection. The threaded connection is designed to be stable when installed on a Direct Read Cable or LevelVent Wellhead in a Solinst 2″ Well Cap Assembly.
Alternatively, you can use a L5 Threaded or Slip Fit Adaptor, when a Direct
Read Cable is not being used. Simply thread or slip the Levelogger into the
optical end, and thread the Levelogger App Interface into the other
connection.

The Levelogger 5 App Interface operates using four 1.5V AA replaceable lithium batteries (alkaline batteries can also be used). To install or replace the batteries:
- Unscrew the top cap of the Levelogger 5 App Interface to access the battery holder.
- Slowly remove the battery holder from the Levelogger 5 App Interface housing.
- Ensure proper installation (polarity) when replacing the batteries.
- Insert the battery holder back into the Levelogger 5 App Interface housing. Ensure it is lined up properly.
- Screw the top cap of the Levelogger 5 App Interface firmly back onto the housing.
