Solinst Levelogger 5
- Single-eye Optical Interface Easier to clean, more scratch resistant
- Increased Memory 150,000 sets of data
- Superior protection in harsh environments Corrosion and abrasion resistant coating, both inside and out
Overview
The Levelogger 5 combines a pressure and temperature sensor to record highly accurate groundwater and surface water level and temperature measurements. It benefits from a 10-year lithium battery, a data logger with large storage capacity and a stainless steel body with an anti corrosion-resistant coating.
The Levelogger 5 measures absolute pressure using a Hastelloy® pressure sensor, offering high resolution and an accuracy of 0.05% FS. Readings are stable in extreme pressure and temperature conditions. The Hastelloy sensor can withstand 2 times over-pressure without permanent damage. Combined with the durable coating inside and out, the Levelogger 5 has high corrosion and abrasion resistance in harsh environments.
The Faraday cage design protects the Levelogger 5 against power surges or electrical spikes caused by lightning. Its durable maintenance-free design, high accuracy and stability, make the Levelogger 5 the most reliable instrument for long-term, continuous water level recording.

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.
