Water level - shaft encoder (Thalimedes)

Parameter to be measured:

Water level

Method:

Converts the water level (position of the floater) into binary code.

Equipment:

Shaft Encoder with integrated Data Logger for continuous level recording consisting of:

• Shaft Encoder
• Data Logger
• floater
• counterweight

Advantages:

• Direct measurement of the water level (not temperature or pressure dependent)
• relativly cheap
• classical method of water level measurement
• cable free data transfer
• Event and continiuous data recording

Disadvantages:

• fits only in 4' pipes or bigger
