The Levelogger Edge temperature and water level datalogger features a new Hastelloy pressure sensor and a titanium based PVD coating adding increased corrosion resistance and even greater stability over a wide range of temperature and pressure conditions. The Hastelloy sensor features the same excellent 0.05 % of full scale accuracy of previous leveloggers while being more robust, able to withstand 2 times over the rated depth without sustaining permanent damage. The temperature compensated range has been improved to 32–122 °F, and the barologger can now make temperature corrected pressure readings down to 14 °F. Thermal response time has increased to 1 minute for every 18 °F change, allowing temperature readings and compensation to stabilize quickly.

The Levelogger Edge is the suggested replacement for the Levelogger Gold.

The Levelogger Edge water level datalogger can store up to 40,000 readings in various logging modes including linear, event and user schedules with future start, future stop, repeat, pause, and real time views. Using a special compression mode, the levelogger edge can store up to 120,000 readings. Logging intervals can be set as low as 0.125/second, and can run for up to 10 years (based on 1 reading per second intervals) from its lithium battery. The Levelogger Edge inherits SDI-12 compatibility, faraday cage design protecting against electrical surges and lighting, a durable maintenance free enclosure, and small dimensions (7/8″ x 6.25″). Weight has also been reduced to only 4.6 oz.

Solinst manufacturers two other water level dataloggers, the cost effective Levelogger Junior Edge which provides an economical solution for many applications, and the LTC Levelogger Junior for adding conductivity measurements in addition to water level and temperature.

Along with the improvements to the Levelogger water level datalogger, Solinst has improved the PC software. It now allows barometric compensation on multiple data files simultaneously, increased levelogger programming options, and many user interface design improvements. The USB optical reader’s communication speed has also been increased to 38,400 bps.

In addition to the PC software included with every Levelogger communication kit, a handheld instrument, the Solinst Leveloader, is also available to view data.

The Barologger Edge features all the improvements to the Levelogger Edge and increased accuracy over previous Barologger versions. Using a Barologger is the easiest and most accurate way to compensate for atmospheric pressure fluctuations in your data. One Barologger can be used to compensate the data for every levelogger in a 20 mile radius (for every 1000 ft change in elevation).

A Solinst Rainlogger allows you to add precipitation data to levelogger deployments for the correlation of rainfall events and water level data.

Solinst has also redesigned the Levelogger well caps for use with either suspension wire or direct read installations. Every well cap now has two direct read ports (one for a levelogger, and one for an optional barologger), a eyelet for suspension wires, a vent to allow the equalization of barometric pressure within the well, and can be secured using a lock.

What to Order

A complete Levelogger Edge water level datalogger system consists of a levelogger, a deployment solution, and a communications kit.

For each Levelogger you wish to deploy you must choose either a direct read cable or a suspension wire of appropriate length as a deployment solution. Direct read cables allow you to download data from the Levelogger without removing it, suspension wires require you to bring it to the surface.

Atmospheric pressure compensation can be provided by a Barologger. You only need 1 Barologger for every levelogger in a 20 mile radius, or 1000 ft difference in elevation.

Communication kits are available in both USB and RS232 serial versions and include everything you need to program and download data from any number of leveloggers. A basic communication kit is required for programming and downloading data from the levelogger, direct read communication kits contain everything in the standard kit and a cable for connecting to direct read deployments.

Locking well caps for 2″ wells and adapters for 4″ wells that support either direct read or suspension wire deployment solutions are available. Levelogger well caps have direct read ports for both a levelogger and a barologger.
