  • Remote data transmission: receive data, status messages, and low power warnings from the office via SMS, FTP, HTTP, and e-mail, eliminating field visits for data download and troubleshooting
  • Complete in-well solution: all components are inserted into the groundwater well, eliminating the possibility of instrument vandalism
  • Battery life: up to 10 years with lithium batteries, all batteries are field-replaceable without additional tools
  • Long-term durability: a robust ceramic pressure cell, kevlar-reinforced cable, and high-quality 904 L stainless steel housing provide lasting quality
  • User-friendly interaction: only one program required to setup unit and download data, plus a simple infrared communication interface that provides easy on-site data download

Continuous or real-time water level measurement of:

  • Groundwater wells
  • Streams, rivers, channels, and canals
  • Reservoirs, lakes, and wetlands

Ideal for monitoring:

  • Continuous water level networks
  • Short-term or long-term projects
  • Events
  • Pump-tests
  • Landfill groundwater levels

Where do I configure a maintenance window like in the existing ecoLog 500?

Maintenance windows are not available anymore because a dial in via a modem (CSD) is not possible anymore. This is not supported by 4G (LTE) and will be or is already discontinued for GSM/GPRS by the most providers as well.
