AquaVent 5 Water Level Logger
- Gauged pressure sensor for highly-accurate water level measurements 0.05% FS
- Multiple built-in hydrophobic filters and desiccants No need to replace, reduces maintenance
- Options for MODBUS (RS-232/RS-485) and SDI-12
- Backwards and forwards compatible with older accessories using an adaptor
Overview
The AquaVent 5 records accurate water level and temperature measurements in shallow groundwater and surface water applications, by combining pressure and temperature filters, hydrophobic filters and a datalogger all within a 22mm x 173mm stainless steel housing, that has corrosion-resistant coating.
The AquaVent 5 works by using a gauged pressure transducer that is open to the atmosphere via a vented cable to surface. Atmospheric pressure is applied to the transducer diaphragm, providing a cancellation effect for barometric pressure. This results in actual water level recordings. The vented cable and Solinst AquaVent 5 logger are protected from moisture by built-in desiccants and hydrophobic filters.
The AquaVent 5 is extremely durable and accurate in a wide range of temperature and monitoring conditions due to the vented pressure transducer being made of Hastelloy®.
The new increased memory has a capacity for 150,000 data sets, the sensor provides an accuracy of 0.05% FS and can withstand 2 times over-pressure without permanent damage making it the most accurate and durable Solinst AquaVent to date.

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.
