Monitor Water Levels & Temperatures with Ease

Combining high accuracy water level measurements with out-of-the-box convenience, this money-saving kit includes everything needed to start logging right away. It is ideal for monitoring water levels and temperatures in wells, streams, lakes and freshwater wetlands.

This kit includes:

Like other HOBO Water Level Loggers, the 13-foot version offers exceptional value and ease-of-use, with no cumbersome vent tubes or desiccants to maintain.


Features

  • Lightning protection; no long signal wires, and electronics are shielded in stainless-steel housing
  • HOBOware Pro software provides easy conversion to accurate water level reading, fully compensated for barometric pressure, temperature, and water density (use barometric pressure data from nearby weather station)
  • Multiple-rate sampling allows faster sampling at critical times such as when pumping starts or stops
  • Available in four depth ranges
  • Ideal for use in wells, streams, lakes, wetlands and tidal areas
  • No-vent-tube design for easy reliable deployment
  • Durable ceramic pressure sensor

Learn the features of this water level data logger, including available lengths, barometric pressure data options, and accuracy rating. Housing options are also discussed for fresh and salt water, as well as battery details, optical communications for underwater offloading, and HOBOware Pro software compatibility.

Technical Information 

Pressure Sensor

Operation Range 0 to 145 kPa (0 to 21 psia); approximately 0 to 4 m (0 to 13 ft) of water depth at sea level, or 0 to 7 m (0 to 23 ft) of water at 3,000 m (10,000 ft) of altitude
Factory Calibrated Range 69 to 145 kPa (10 to 21 psia), 0° to 40°C (32° to 104°F)
Burst Pressure 310 kPa (45 psia) or 18 m (60 ft) depth
Water Level Accuracy* Typical error - 0.075% FS, 0.3 cm (0.01 ft) water
Maximum Error  - 0.15% FS, 0.6 cm (0.02 ft) water
Raw Pressure Accuracy** 0.3% FS, 0.43 kPa (0.063 psi) maximum error
Resolution < 0.014 kPa (0.002 psi), 0.14 cm (0.005 ft) water
Pressure Response Time 90% < 1 second
Thermal Response Time (90%) † Approximately 10 minutes in water to achieve full temperature compensation of the pressure sensor

Temperature Sensor

Operation Range -20° to 50°C (-4° to 122°F)
Accuracy 0.37°C at 20°C (0.67°F at 68°F), see Plot A of User Manual
Resolution 0.1°C at 20°C (0.18°F at 68°F) (10-bit), see Plot A of User Manual
Response Time (9%) 3.5 minutes in water (typical)
Stability (drift) 0.1°C (0.18°F) per year

Logger

Real-time Clock ± 1 minute per month 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F)
Battery 2/3 AA, 3.6 Volt Lithium, factory-replaceable
Battery Life (typical use) 5 years with 1 minute or greater logging interval
Memory (non-volatile) 64K bytes memory (approx. 21,700 pressure and temperature samples)
Dimensions 2.46 cm (0.97 inches) diameter, 15 cm (5.9 inches) length; mounting hole 6.3 mm (0.25 inches) diameter
Weight Approximately 210 g (7.4 oz)
Wetted Materials 316 stainless steel, Viton® o-rings, acetyl cap, ceramic sensor
Shock/Drop Logger is sensitive to shocks. Handle with care and avoid any impact. Always use proper packaging when shipping the logger.
Logging Interval Fixed-rate or multiple logging intervals, with up to 8 user-defined logging intervals and durations; logging intervals from 1 second to 18 hours. Refer to HOBOware software manual.
Launch Modes Immediate start and delayed start
Offload Modes Offload while logging; stop and offload
Battery Indicationj Battery voltage can be viewed in status screen and optionally logged in datafile. Low battery indication in datafile.
Environmental Rating IP68
The CE Marking identifies this product as complying with the relevant directives in the European Union (EU).

* With accurate reference water level measurement and Barometric Compensation Assistant data
** Absolute pressure sensor accuracy includes all pressure drift, temperature, and hysteresis-induced errors
† Maximum error due to rapid thermal changes is approximately 0.5%

HOBOware Software

HOBOware software is used for launching, reading out, and plotting data from HOBO® data loggers. With HOBOware, you can also check logger status, filter and export data, save changes to graphs in project files, and scale data with the Linear Scaling and Pulse Scaling data assistants. There are two versions of HOBOware: HOBOware and HOBOware Pro.


HOBOware Standard features

  • Simple menus for fast, easy logger setup and readout
  • Point & click for fast setup and readout
  • Scaling to real-world engineering units
  • Presentation-quality graphs
  • Easy export of data files to text or Excel format
