HOBO Water Level Data Logger
The industry’s first water level data logger designed for convenient wireless setup and download via Bluetooth technology. Dramatically simplifies and lowers the cost of field data collection by providing wireless access to high-accuracy water level and temperature data right from a mobile phone, tablet, or Windows computer running Onset’s free HOBOconnect app. Consists of a top-end unit and a water level sensor which are sold as a set. A direct-read cable is required to connect them. Cables can be ordered in lengths from 0.2 to 500m for deployment in a wide range of wells.
Features
- Wireless data offload to mobile devices or Windows computers via Bluetooth
- Integrated barometric pressure sensor enables direct water level readout
- Direct-read cable connects sensor to top-end logger/transmitter
- The cable includes Kevlar strength member
- Cables are interchangeable so loggers are easy to redeploy in future applications
- The logger and sensor add 0.39 meters to the length of the cable
- Cable length can vary up to 3% from the length ordered
- The 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 meter cable lengths are in stock; custom cable lengths have a 1 to 2 week lead time
- Reference water level can be entered at the start of the deployment
- Use HOBOconnect for setup, data viewing, and data sharing
- Powered by two user-replaceable AA batteries in the top-end unit
- Several logging modes: normal, multi-rate logging, and event-triggered burst-logging
- Durable ceramic sensor
- Available with stainless steel or titanium sensor ends
- 3-point NIST-traceable calibration certificate included for the water pressure sensor
MicroRX Water Level Station - RX2100-WL
Enabled with cellular communication, this award-winning remote water level monitoring station completes calculations onsite and sends notifications of critical conditions via cellular plans to the cloud. Ideal for stormwater, floodwater, irrigation, hydrologic, and environmental applications, this remote monitoring solution comes with pre-programmed water flow formulas for select weirs, flumes, and a stage discharge table that allow easy and intuitive configuration.
This compact and durable station, together with the non-vented water level sensor, provides reliable monitoring, even when deployed in harsh conditions. Water flow and accumulated rainfall calculations, which are performed directly on the station at time of measurement, trigger immediate notifications of critical water level conditions.
The optional integrated solar panel or battery power, with a wide range of plug-and-play smart sensors, supports flexible environmental monitoring.
Features
- Station-side alarms for water flow and accumulated rainfall triggered at time of measurement
- Non-vented ceramic water level sensor with a choice of four ranges
- Interchangeable, Kevlar-reinforced water level sensor cables
- Integrated barometric pressure sensor
- Compact IP66/NEMA 4X enclosure
- Built-in LCD confirms proper setup and operation
- Two power options:
- Integrated 1.7 W solar panel with rechargeable battery pack
- 5 W and 15 W external solar panels can be added (RX2104 only)
- User-replaceable AA lithium batteries
- Integrated 1.7 W solar panel with rechargeable battery pack
- Inputs for five plug-and-play sensors
- Up to 10-minute connections rates via 4G cellular data plans
- Cloud-based monitoring and data access through HOBOlink
- Available with stainless-steel or titanium sensor ends
- 3-point NIST-traceable calibration certificate included for the water pressure sensor

Radar Level Sensor - OTT RLS
The OTT RLS is a non-contact radar level sensor with pulse radar technology. The OTT RLS offers a large measurement range with a small blanking distance and narrow beam width and it easily connects to most dataloggers. The RLS has extremely low power consumption and is ideal for remote or solar powered sites.
- No drift over time
- High Performance–Measurements are unaffected by air temperature, humidity, flood events, floating debris, or contaminated water; reduces the likelihood of missing data and reduces data post processing
- Low Maintenance–Flat antenna design eliminates nesting areas for insects and periodic maintenance requirement
- Flexible Integration/Easy Setup–Connects to most data loggers via standard communication interfaces, SDI-12 or 4 … 20 mA; no need for additional PC software
- Simple Installation–Light weight compact design facilitates easy mounting on bridges, extension mounting bracket or inside a small protective housing
- Low Profile Design–Unobtrusive appearance is ideal for urban installation sites or sites prone to vandalism
- Low Power Consumption–Ideal for remote or solar powered sites; requires only 12 mA when active
For surface water level measurement of:
- Streams and rivers
- Tidal zones
- Reservoirs and lakes
Ideal for monitoring:- Surface waters prone to flooding
- Sediment or debris laden streams and rivers
- Migrating channels
