PT2X-BV Barometric Data Logger
- Compensate absolute PT2X & CT2X data loggers
- Choice of designs
- Replaceable internal batteries
Overview
The PT2X-BV barometric pressure data logger is built on the PT2X Pressure/Temperature Smart Sensor platform. It provides an ideal barometric reference for absolute versions of the PT2X water level and groundwater data logger.
Conversion of data files from an absolute sensor is made easy with use of the Aqua4Plus Barometric Compensation Utility means conversion of data files from absolute sensors is easy.
The barometric pressure data logger is capable of storing over 130,000 pressure, temperature and time data records. The sensor is powered internally with two AA batteries or can be powered with an external auxiliary power supply.
It is available in two versions:
- Weatherproof Box
- 316 stainless steel tube (with NPT option available)
The tubular version is available with a ¼" NPT end cone for pressure measurements in pipe applications or a standard end cone for submersible applications.
Aqua4Plus software provides flexible programming, extensive control, real time monitoring easy field calibration and a delayed start feature.
The barometric data loggers can be easily networked with other Smart Sensors with the RS485 interface.

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:
- Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 - Model SGH-1337M
- Phone: Samsung Galaxy S5 - Model SM-G900W8
- 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.
- 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.
