Solinst Levelogger 5 LTC
- Increased memory 100,000 sets of data
- More stable communication Single-eye optical, easy to clean, more scratch resistant
- Better thermistor and conductivity sensitivity Upgraded platinum RTD and conductivity sensor
Overview
The Levelogger® 5 LTC logs water level, temperature, and conductivity. It combines a datalogger, 8-year battery, Hastelloy® pressure sensor, temperature detector, and conductivity sensor within a small waterproof housing, 22 mm x 208 mm (7/8" x 8.2"). A baked-on coating using polymerization technology protects the body against corrosion, abrasion and high temperatures. The conductivity sensor is a 4-electrode platinum sensor, with autoranging capabilities. The minimal-maintenance, sealed Levelogger 5 LTC is simple to clean and calibrate, even in the field.
User-Friendly Operation
Software Calibration and Data Wizards guide you through conductivity calibration and barometric compensation, ensuring accurate data sets. The Data Wizard also converts conductivity readings to Specific Conductance (@ 25ºC).
Levelogger Software allows you to easily program your preferences, download data, and display data in a graph or table format or export to other programs. Real Time View allows immediate viewing of live water level, conductivity, and temperature readings.
Leveloggers are easy to deploy; install with direct read cables or wireline/cord suspension. The Levelogger 5 LTC is SDI-12 compatible using the Solinst SDI-12 Interface Cable.
Download data in the field using the new Field Reader 5, DataGrabber 5 USB data transfer device, or through Bluetooth® using the Levelogger 5 App Interface and your smart device. Integrate the Levelogger 5 LTC with Solinst Telemetry Systems, which use the latest wireless technologies.

FAQ's
As the Levelogger App Interface will not connect directly to the top of a Solinst datalogger, it is necessary to have connection accessories. With the Levelogger or Rainlogger, one of the following accessories is required:
- Direct Read Cable, clients use this option to suspend dataloggers in the field when they wish to communicate downhole.
- When working with Leveloggers that are suspended from wireline, or cord, the units must be removed from the well and connected to either a Direct Read Cable (as above) or an Optical Adaptor.
- For the LevelVent, just connect to the unit via the Vented Cable and LevelVent Wellhead that all units are suspended from in the field – no other connection accessories are required.
- The AquaVent communication connection is made from the App Interface to the AquaVent Wellhead using an App Connector Cable that is ordered separately.
- Program and start dataloggers in the field.
- Simplify data management in the field by transporting and using less equipment.
- View real-time readings.
- Download and e-mail logged data files.
- Calibrate LTC Leveloggers (NEW).
- Run the diagnostic utility (NEW) – used for troubleshooting
Leveloggers. Provides detailed information on the datalogger,
and includes options for running a self-test, doing a memory
dump and creating/emailing reports.
Drivers checkup:
- Go to Control Panel
- Open Device Manager and look for the Optical Reader listed under “ports” or “other devices”. It will show up with an exclamation mark. To make sure you are looking at the right device, unplug it and plug it back in, the Optical Reader will disappear and appears from the list.
- Right click on the device
- Click on Update Driver Software (you must have Admin rights to do this, if not, ask to your IT Dept)
- Click on Browse My Computer
- The folder that contains the drivers should be highlighted in blue in the address bar. The right address should be C: Program Files x86 / Solinst / Levelogger 4_4 / Drivers. If this is not the address you see, click on Browse button and look for the Solinst folder: C: Program Files x86 / Solinst / Levelogger 4_5 / Drivers. Do not go any further, don’t select any subfolder under Drivers. Click OK.
- Make sure “include subfolders” check box below the address bar is checked
- Click Next
- At this time Windows should start installing the drivers from the correct folder.
- When finish, go back to Device Manager. If the device was previously listed under “other devices”, it will be now listed under “ports” as USB Serial Port (COM#) assigned.
- Please repeat the steps from 3 to 8 to make sure it was installed properly.
- Close Device Manager and go to Solinst Software. The USB Serial Port (COM#) assigned should be in the drop menu.
