PLS C
Its extremely low power consumption makes it ideal for long-term deployment, particularly at solar powered measuring stations for ground-and surface waters.
Application: Surface water, Groundwater
Measurement technology: Vented pressure cell and 4-electrode graphite conductivity cell
Parameters measured: Water level, Pressure, Conductivity, Temperature
Product Highlights: Water level, temperature, and conductivity measurement – for use with external data logger
Internal data logger: No
Interface: SDI-12 or RS-485 (using SDI-12)
Water level, temperature, and conductivity measurement of:
Groundwater wells
Streams, rivers, channels, and canals
Reservoirs, lakes, and wetlands
Ideal for monitoring:
Continuous monitoring networks
Short-term or long-term projects
Salt water intrusion
Aquifer storage and recovery
Estuaries and wetlands
- FEATURES
-
- Outputs for conductivity include specific conductivity, salinity, and total dissolved solids
- The robust ceramic pressure cell offers industry-leading accuracy and does not deform over time like membrane technology, providing long-term measurement stability
- Rugged design: Ceramic pressure cell resistant to physical force (4 x burst pressure) and enclosure made of high-quality saltwater resistant steel for use in coastal environments
- Vented pressure probe, automatically compensates for changes in barometric pressure
- Robust cable with Kevlar core for length stabilization and capillary tube for venting
- Built-in microcontroller – compensates for temperature effects and applies correction values for gravitational acceleration or water density
- Simple setup and connection to external dataloggers using SDI-12
