Product Description The WL16 Water Level Logger now supports USB cable interface for laptop and desktop data downloading OR a serial communication port for use with most popular PDAs and telemetry solutions The WL16 Water Level Logger is a datalogger andsubmersible pressure transducer combination designed for remote monitoring andrecording of water level or pressure data The water level logger canrecord over 81 000 readings and has four unique recording options fast 10samples per second programmable interval 1 second to multiple years logarithmic and exception Multiple depth ranges are available from 3 to 500 of water level change A 25 vented cable is standard on allwater level loggers and optional cable lengths are available from the factoryup to 500 The WL16 Water Level Logger is housed in aweather resistant cylindrical enclosure which slips inside a standard 2 inchPVC pipe The Water Level Recorders are easily adapted with standardhardware for wellhead mounting stream or other installations Twointernal 9 VDC Alkaline batteries will typically power each of the Water LevelLoggers for approximately one year even if one of the batteries fails Athird onboard lithium battery ensures your data is safe in the event both 9Vbatteries fail All Water Level Loggers include Windows and PDA software allowing easy upload of data a laptop desktop or PDA for transfer tospreadsheet programs NOTE The Palm operating system is NOT supported For more information on supported PDAs click HERE The WL16 Water Level Logger s vented submersiblepressure transducer is fully encapsulated with marinegrade epoxy Theelectronics are encapsulated so that moisture can never leak in through O ringseals or work its way into the vent tube and cause drift or sensor failure asis the case with many other vented sensors The vent tube is sealeddirectly to the wet wet sensing element and any moisture that may enter thevent tube from the housing will only contact the ceramic parts not theelectronics Most federal agencies universities and environmentalconsultants recommend vented water level sensors for the best monitoringresults Warning Non vented water level loggers may have readings with errors of up to 10 due to barometric pressure changes Global Water s Water Level Loggers use vented cable to prevent this issue from affecting your data To learn more about how barometric pressure can affect your data click HERE The vented submersible pressure transducer uses aunique silicon diaphragm to interface between your water and the sensingelement The diaphragm is highly flexible and touches the sensing element producing a sensor with exceptional linearity and very low hysteresis Astainless steel micro screen cap protects the pressure transducer diaphragm The micro screen cap has hundreds of openings making fouling the sensor withsilt mud or sludge virtually impossible Bluetooth CapabilityThe AK1500 Bluetooth Adaptor was designed to eliminate the need for custom PDAcables to communicate between your PDA and the WL16 Water Level Loggers The adaptor connects to the Water Level Logger s serial port using the sameinterface cable provided with the software cable kit The interfaceoperates from a single 9 volt battery and is turned on automatically when thecable connects the water level logger and Bluetooth adapter Because theBluetooth module consumes power when turned on it is recommended that the cablebe disconnected from the water level logger when not in use A red LEDshows the power status and is on continuously while the adaptor is plugged intothe water level logger There is also a blue LED that shows the status ofthe Bluetooth connection Water LevelRecorders SpecificationsWL16 Water Level Data LoggersPower Two 9VDC Alkaline
