Parameter to be measured:
Water level
Method:
Capacitive
Equipment:
Odyssey
Advantages:
- Cheap
- Logging of 64k of data
- Logger start by starting start time
- The lack of an outer shroud makes it easy to transport the probes
- Available in different lengths
- Available with 2 sizes of brass weights
- The probe fits exactly on a 32 mm (ID) PVC pipe
- You can replace the batteries yourself
Disadvantages:
What to watch out for:
- Don’t damage the wire.
Problems/Questions:
- After 2 years of use, two of my loggers would no longer connect to the computer. All others still worked fined.
- One of my loggers would only record data for a few seconds. Restarting the logger and letting it run until the storage was full seemed to take care of this.
