Description
The Solinst LevelVent 6 is a vented version of the popular Levelogger®. The highly-accurate datalogger is designed to record water level and temperature measurements during shallow groundwater and surface water deployments.
The LevelVent 6 logger contains pressure and temperature sensors, a 10-year battery, memory for up to 150,000 data logs, and a hydrophobic filter, housed in a 22 mm x 173 mm (7/8″ x 6.8″) stainless steel enclosure. Its Faraday cage design protects against power surges or electrical spikes caused by lightning.
The LevelVent 6 is programmed and data downloaded using Solinst Levelogger Software and a high-speed Mk3 USB-C PC Interface Cable. It can also be used with the Solinst Levelogger App Interface, Solinst Readout Unit (SRU) and DataGrabber.
All accessories and PC Interface Cable conveniently connect directly to the LevelVent 6 wellhead.
Note: Vented cables sold separately
