KIT-D-U20-01 HOBO Water Level Data Logger Deluxe Kit (30’)

Overview

Combining high accuracy water level measurements with out-of-the-box convenience, this money-saving kit includes everything needed to start logging right away. Ideal for monitoring water levels and temperatures in wells, streams, lakes and freshwater wetlands, as well as barometric pressure.

This kit includes:

    U20-001-01 HOBO data logger (30' range)
    U20-001-04 HOBO data logger (13' range) for barometric pressure
    U-DTW-1 HOBO waterproof shuttle with 5 interchangeable couplers
    U20-CASE-1 carrying case
    HOBOware Pro software

Like other HOBO Water Level Loggers, the 30-foot version offers exceptional value and ease-of-use, with no cumbersome vent tubes or desiccants to maintain.

Features

    Lightning protection; no long signal wires, and electronics are shielded in stainless-steel housing
    HOBOware Pro software provides easy conversion to accurate water level reading, fully compensated for barometric pressure, temperature, and water density
    Multiple-rate sampling allows faster sampling at critical times such as when pumping starts or stops
    Available in four depth ranges
    Ideal for use in wells, streams, lakes, wetlands, and tidal areas
    No-vent-tube design for easy reliable deployment
    Durable ceramic pressure sensor

Specifications

Pressure Sensor

Operation range: 0 to 207 kPa (0 to 30 psia); approximately 0 to 9 m (0 to 30 ft) of water depth at sea level, or 0 to 12 m (0 to 40 ft) of water at 3,000 m (10,000 ft) of altitude
Factory calibrated range: 69 to 207 kPa (10 to 30 psia), 0° to 40°C (32° to 104°F)

Burst pressure: 310 kPa (45 psia) or 18 m (60 ft) depth
Water level accuracy*: Typical error - 0.05% FS, 0.5 cm (0.015 ft) water
Maximum error: - 0.1% FS, 1.0 cm (0.03 ft) water
Raw pressure accuracy**: 0.3% FS, 0.62 kPa (0.09 psi) maximum error
Resolution: < 0.02 kPa (0.003 psi), 0.21 cm (0.007 ft) water
Pressure response time: 90% < 1 second
Thermal response time (90%)†: Approximately 10 minutes in water to achieve full temperature compensation of the pressure sensor

* With accurate reference water level measurement and Barometric Compensation Assistant data
** Absolute pressure sensor accuracy includes all pressure drift, temperature, and hysteresis-induced errors
† Maximum error due to rapid thermal changes is approximately 0.5%

Temperature Sensor

Operation range: -20° to 50°C (-4° to 122°F)
Accuracy: 0.37°C at 20°C (0.67°F at 68°F), see Plot A
Resolution: 0.1°C at 20°C (0.18°F at 68°F) (10-bit)
Response time (90%): 3.5 minutes in water (typical)
Stability (drift): 0.1°C (0.18°F) per year

Logger

Real-time clock: ± 1 minute per month 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F)
Battery: 2/3 AA, 3.6 Volt Lithium, factory-replaceable
Battery life (typical use): 5 years with 1 minute or greater logging interval
Memory (non-volatile): 64K bytes memory (approx. 21,700 pressure and temperature samples)
Dimensions: 2.46 cm (0.97 inches) diameter, 15 cm (5.9 inches) length; mounting hole 6.3 mm (0.25 inches) diameter
