Pressure Systems now offers its WaterMonitor level transducer in a rugged all-titanium package.
Pressure Systems now offers its WaterMonitor level transducer in a rugged all-titanium package.
The submersible hydrostatic transducer, which includes internal data logging functionality, is ideal for measuring water levels in environmental management applications, such as ground water, surface water, and open channel level measurement as well as down hole, well, lake, stream and reservoir level monitoring, and watershed management.
In addition, the WaterMonitor can store up to 600,000 level, temperature, and time stamp measurements, making it ideal in remote environmental data collection and process monitoring.
The transducer features standard accuracy of +0.05% FS total error band (TEB) or can be ordered to meet the more demanding US Geological Survey (USGS) Office of Surface Water's (OSW) accuracy specifications.
The RS485 electrical interface using SDI-12 protocol provides selectable baud rates up to 19,200 baud.
A quick-disconnect cable attachment facilitates field replacement of the internal battery, which has a nominal lifespan of 3 years.
Pressure Systems' accompanying KPSI applications software (K-ware) is an intuitive yet comprehensive Visual Basic-based package.
The software, including any future upgrades, is available on Pressure Systems' website at no charge.
The WaterMonitor's selectable sampling modes include linear, linear averaging, event, and logarithmic.
The unit also features programmable sampling rates of up to 15 readings per second; incorporates internal nonvolatile memory of 2 or 4 Mbyte; and uploads data at 100 scans per second at a rate of 19,200baud, with a pressure and temperature time stamp.
The new transducer has full-scale level ranges from 0-10 to 0-692ft of water, a 0.75in diameter, and features onboard surge protection.
Operating temperature ranges from -20 to +50C.
The WaterMonitor's custom-manufactured polyurethane-jacketed cable incorporates Kevlar strength members to prevent elongation, and a self-sealing water block to protect against minor cuts to the cable.
Each transducer is furnished with a vent filter that prevents humidity from entering the vent tube.
Pricing for a titanium WaterMonitor starts at $1155 for single piece quantities.
Delivery is 2 weeks ARO.
