LevelSender - Model 9500
The LevelSender is a simple, low cost system designed to wirelessly send data from Solinst dataloggers in the field, via cellular communication, to multiple emails and an SMS recipient. You can receive data right on your smart device.
LevelSender remote stations are compact in design, which allows them to be discreetly installed inside a 2" diameter monitoring well or other housing.
Each LevelSender device has a single port to connect one datalogger. An optional splitter provides connections for two dataloggers, allowing you to install a Levelogger and Barologger in the same well. Along with water level, temperature, conductivity, barometric, or rainfall data, battery level and status updates from the remote LevelSender are received with each data report.

Communication Options
The AquaVent has options for communicating strictly with Solinst software and accessories, or integrating into a telemetry system, SCADA/PLC system or a third-party datalogger.
The AquaVent can communicate with Levelogger Software. It can be used with the Solinst Levelogger App and Interface, and the DataGrabber™.
AquaVent Communication Wellhead
The AquaVent Communication Wellhead fits conveniently onto a 2" (50 mm) well casing using the well cap base (a 4" well adaptor is available).
There are two options: the SP Wellhead has a connection for communicating with Solinst software and accessories; the SPX Wellhead has an additional connection for communicating with third party dataloggers or telemetry systems using MODBUS (RS-232/RS-485) or SDI-12 protocols.
Each Wellhead contains 4 1.5V AA lithium batteries that power the AquaVent logger. They are user-replaceable and can last 8 years based on 1 reading per minute (the internal AquaVent logger battery is only used to maintain the clock).
For permanent moisture protection, the Wellheads contain multiple built-in desiccants and have a hydrophobic filter where the vented cable terminates at surface.
SP Wellhead
One 10-Pin Connection for Solinst Software and Accessory Connector Cables
SPX Wellhead
Additional 12-Pin Connection for SDI-12 and MODBUS RS-232 and RS-485 Connector Cables
