Overview

The Solinst LevelVent 6 is a vented water level and temperature datalogger for shallow groundwater and surface water. Its gauged Hastelloy pressure sensor is open to the atmosphere through a vented cable, so it records true water level with no barometric compensation, and it stores up to 150,000 readings on a 10-year battery.

  • Gauged (vented) pressure sensor: water level is read directly, no Barologger or compensation step
  • Hastelloy sensor with 0.05% FS accuracy and 2 times over-pressure protection
  • Memory for 150,000 sets of readings plus dedicated backup for the latest 20,000
  • 10-year battery (1 reading per minute)
  • Permanent built-in desiccants and hydrophobic filters in the logger and the wellhead: nothing to replace
  • Compact wellhead fits a Solinst 2 in Well Cap Assembly; communication cables and accessories connect at the wellhead
  • 38.4k baud with the Mk3 USB-C PC Interface Cable; SDI-12 and MODBUS with a Solinst interface cable
  • Faraday cage design protects against power surges and lightning spikes

Deployed on a vented cable assembly cut to the length you need (up to 500 ft); a 2 in Well Cap Assembly and hanger bracket are included to support the wellhead and cable. Request a quote for pricing and availability.
