Description
The Solinst 3500 AquaVent 5 records accurate water level and temperature measurements in shallow groundwater and surface water applications. It combines pressure & temperature sensors, and datalogger within a 22 mm x 173 mm (7/8″ x 6.8″) stainless steel housing with corrosion-resistant coating.
The solinst 3500 AquaVent 5 uses a gauged pressure transducer; it is open to the atmosphere via a vented cable to surface. Atmospheric pressure is applied to the transducer diaphragm, providing a cancellation effect for barometric pressure. This results in actual water level recordings.
The vented cable and Solinst 3500 AquaVent 5 logger are protected from moisture by built-in desiccants and hydrophobic filters.
The vented pressure transducer is made of Hastelloy®, making it extremely durable and accurate in a wide range of temperature and monitoring conditions. The sensor provides an accuracy of 0.05% FS and can withstand 2 times over-pressure without permanent damage.
The robust memory can hold up to 150,000 data sets when programmed in Solinst Levelogger® Software.
Applications:
– Ideal for shallow applications: up to 20 m (65 ft) submergence
– Aquifer characterization: pumping tests, slug tests, etc.
– Stream gauging, lake and reservoir management
– Watershed, drainage basin and recharge monitoring
– Stormwater and runoff monitoring
– Long-term water level monitoring in wells and surface water
Features
– Gauged pressure sensor for highly accurate water level measurements: 0.05% FS
– Multiple built-in hydrophobic filters and desiccants – no need to replace, reduces maintenance.
– Easy-to-access, user-replaceable batteries in Wellhead
– Options for MODBUS (RS-232/RS-485) and SDI-12
– Separate cables for each communication protocol
– Corrosion and abrasion-resistant coating baked-on using polymerization technology
Benefits
– Automatic barometric compensation reduces time required for post data processing
– Integrate into a third-party data collection system for remote real-time data
– Continuous, reliable water level data for long-term monitoring projects
– Actual water level readings for instant aquifer test results
