Levelogger Datalogger
Required
Variable Part Numbers
Your choice of datalogger will be based on: Parameters to be monitored (temperature, water level,
conductivity) Accuracy required Anticipated maximum submergence depth How long you will be monitoring (do you need a
Barologger, more robust memory, longer battery life?) Type of sampling required (linear, event-based, scheduled)
Levelogger Software
Levelogger PC Software is available as a free download at

Desktop Reader 5
Required
114404 Field Reader 5
114403
The Desktop Reader 5 provides the most stable communication between the Levelogger datalogger and the Levelogger PC Software. *Alternatively, you can use a Field Reader 5 for this same purpose
*The Field Reader 5 is an alternative option to the Desktop Reader 5 for connecting your Levelogger to a PC for communication with Levelogger Software. It can be more convenient when connecting to Leveloggers in the field and when calibrating a Levelogger 5 LTC.
Deployment Options
Wireline/Kevlar Rope
Optional
Variable Part Numbers
Use this method when you wish to minimize up front costs, and pre-program Leveloggers in the office and not require direct communication with the datalogger while it is deployed.
Required if direct
communication to a deployed Levelogger is needed
L5 Direct Read Cable
Variable Part Numbers
Use this method when you want direct communication with your Levelogger while it is deployed, and to view real-time readings. Avoid removing the datalogger from its deployment, saving time in the field.
In-field Communication Cables/Adaptors PC Interface Cable
Required if using Direct Read Cables
109609
A PC Interface Cable is used to connect to the Direct Read Cable of a deployed Levelogger and your PC for communication with Levelogger Software.
Required if not using Direct Read Cables, but wish to connect
to an in-field communication
device
L5 Threaded and Slip Fit Optical Adaptors
114630
114598
An L5 Threaded or Slip Fit Adaptor allows direct connection of a Levelogger to a Levelogger 5 App Interface, SRU, DataGrabber 5, or PC Interface Cable.
High Quality Groundwater and Surface Water Monitoring Instrumentation

In-field Communication Devices DataGrabber 5
Optional
115007
A DataGrabber 5 connects to an L5 Direct Read Cable or Optical Adaptor to allow Levelogger data file to be transferred and saved to a USB drive. No access to Levelogger settings.
Optional Optional
SRU (Solinst Readout Unit) 115115
A Solinst Readout Unit (SRU) connects to an L5 Direct Read Cable or Optical Adaptor and displays instant water level readings from the connected Levelogger, performs real-time logging, provides Levelogger status, and allows saving and downloading of data to the SRU. No access to Levelogger settings.
Levelogger 5 App Interface 115009
A Levelogger 5 App Interface connects to an L5 Direct Read Cable or Optical Adaptor to provide a wireless Bluetooth® connection between the Levelogger and the Solinst Levelogger App on your iOS or AndroidTM smart device. The Levelogger App is a free download. With the Solinst Levelogger App you have full access to datalogger settings; you can download and view data, view real-time data, program your Leveloggers, and more. Data can be e-mailed from your smart device directly to your office.
Optional Deployment Accessories Well Caps
110099 Optional
The 2" Locking Well Caps can be used for both wireline/cord and Direct Read Cable deployment. The well cap has a convenient eyelet for suspending Leveloggers. Well caps are vented. The well cap insert has two openings to accommodate direct read cables for both a Levelogger and Barologger. Adaptors are available to fit 4" wells.
Optional
Support Hanger Bracket 112764
Used with the 2" Locking Well Cap, a Support Hanger Bracket provides an option for supporting and organizing down well wires or cords, or for coiling extra Direct Read Cable if the full length is not required.
Optional Optional
Biofoul Screen 110659
Artesian Well Fitting 112350
Use a Biofoul Screen when your Levelogger will be deployed for extended periods, especially in coastal and saltwater environments, to avoid the build-up of microorganisms, plants, algae, etc. Simply slips onto the sensor end of the datalogger.
For monitoring artesian condition, Solinst provides well fitting options for in-well and top of well installation, and can accommodate the use of L5 Direct Read Cables.
Other Requirements
Conductivity Calibration Solutions
Required
if using a Levelogger 5 LTC
Variable Part Numbers
If you know the approximate conductivity range of the water that you will be measuring, best accuracy when calibrating your unit is to select two solutions--one above, and one below that range. Though, you can calibrate up to four points. Solution options are 1,413 S/cm, 5,000 S/cm, 12,880 S/cm and 80,000 S/cm.
