Overview

The Barologger Edge measures and logs changes in atmospheric pressure which are then used to compensate water level readings recorded by a Levelogger edge, Junior and TLC. The measurement of absolute pressure is expressed in metres, centimetres, feet, psi, kPa or mBar. The Barologger has been designed for use in the air only.

The Barologger Edge is set up in one location above a high water level. One Barologger can be used to compensate atmospheric pressure for all Leveloggers in a 30km (20 mile) radius and/or with every 300m (1000ft) change in elevation.

The Data Compensation Wizard in the Levelogger Software simplifies the adjustment of the level measurements for barometric pressure changes, by using the synchronized data from all Leveloggers on site and the site Barologger.

The Barologger Edge offers superior accuracy due to the use of pressure algorithms which are based on air rather than water pressure. The recorded barometric information is useful to determine barometric lag and/or barometric efficiency of the monitored aquifer.

Version 4 Levelogger Software can program the Levelogger Edge, Gold, Junior and Barologger Edge. When compensating data, Version 4 can recognize the type of Levelogger and compensate using the same units found in the data file making the Barologger Edge backwards compatible.

FAQ's

The free app is available on both Apple® and Android™ smart devices.
Apple devices must be running iOS 11 or later on the following compatible devices:

  • iPhone
  • iPad
  • iPad mini
  • iPod touch.

Android devices must be running version 5.0 or higher. Solinst does not guarantee compatibility on all devices running 5.0, but testing confirms the following can be used:

  • Tablet: Samsung Tab 4 (10.1”) - Model SM-T530NU

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.
The Levelogger App Interface is portable hardware that connects to the top of your Levelogger via a Direct Read Cable/Adaptor, to a LevelVent Wellhead, or to an AquaVent Wellhead cable. Bluetooth wireless technology allows communication between the Levelogger App Interface and the smart device with the app installed. It allows viewing/downloading of data, and programming of Solinst dataloggers, as well as many other features.
Solinst offers a wide range of dataloggers that can be used with the Leveloggger App Interface. They include the complete, current Levelogger Edge range of units (Edge, Junior Edge, LTC Edge, Rainlogger Edge), previous Gold Leveloggers/Barologgers, and the latest vented datalogger editions, the AquaVent and LevelVent.
  • 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.

The most recent version of the Android App available is 1.2.5 but that is only available for download if your Android device has Android version 8 (oreo) or above. That means, any device running older Android versions can not download the most recent App-This is a restriction that Google has set.
Restart the Barologgers in psi and download the Barologger file with an Optical Reader/ PC Interface Cable with the PC software.

Drivers checkup:

  1. Go to Control Panel
  2. 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.
  3. Right click on the device
  4. Click on Update Driver Software (you must have Admin rights to do this, if not, ask to your IT Dept)
  5. Click on Browse My Computer
  6. 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.
  7. Make sure “include subfolders” check box below the address bar is checked
  8. Click Next
  9. At this time Windows should start installing the drivers from the correct folder.
  10. 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.
  11. Please repeat the steps from 3 to 8 to make sure it was installed properly.
  12. Close Device Manager and go to Solinst Software. The USB Serial Port (COM#) assigned should be in the drop menu.
