Water Level Logger Kit (4m) - KIT-S-U20-04
The KIT-S-U20-04 represents a complete solution, economic, and ready for use to monitor accurate on water levels until 4m and the temperatures in miscellaneous aquatic environments, such as well streams lakes freshwater wetlands and tidal zones.
This is kit includes a data recorder HOBO U20-001-04 specially designed for reliable measures and precise water levels, as well as a base station BASE-U-4 that assures a leakproof communication, ensuring security and reliability from data transmission to software HOBOware Pro included in the kit, allowing for in-depth analysis of the data collected.
The KIT-S-U20-04 is a solution all-in-one, affordable and ready for use, ideal for a effective monitoring of the water levels up to depth of 4 meters and temperatures in miscellaneous aquatic environments, whether it's about well, of streams, of lakes, of freshwater wetlands or tidal zones.
This kit includes three essential elements:
One data recorder HOBO U20-001-04, capable of measuring with a high precision on water levels and record the pressure fluctuations for further measures precise.
A base station BASE-U-4 with 5 interchangeable couplers, ensuring one leakproof communication for the reliable recovery of the recorded data.
Software HOBOware Pro, which simplifies the analysis of the data collected by carrying out accurate conversions in water level measurements, taking into account parameters such as barometric pressure, the temperature and water density.
Barometric pressure data can also be obtained from a weather station nearby.
This kit offers several practical advantages, including: protection against electric surges from the lightning, one frequent sampling for detailed data, and pressure sensor en robust ceramic for extremely precise measurements of water levels.
With the KIT-S-U20-02 you have a reliable and comprehensive solution for monitoring aquatic environments, allowing you to take informed decisions based on the data collected.
