LevelSender 5 Telemetry
The LevelSender 5 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.
Solinst provides the option of a pre-programmed LevelSender with 4G LTE-M SIM setup. The Solinst SIM card scans multiple networks and connects to the strongest signal. Low cost, dataonly plans are billed directly through Solinst for convenience.
LevelSender 5 remote stations are compact in design, which allows them to be discreetly installed inside a 2" diameter monitoring well or other housing.
Each LevelSender 5 device has a single port to connect one datalogger. An optional splitter provides connections for two dataloggers. A built-in barometer provides the option of reporting barometrically compensated Levelogger readings.
Along with water level, temperature, conductivity, barometric, or rainfall data, battery level and status updates from the remote LevelSender 5 are received with each data report.

- Less need to travel to remote/ hazardous locations
How to Use Solinst LevelSender 5
Initial setup for each LevelSender 5 device is done using the LevelSender 5 PC Software and a USB connection. The LevelSender 5 is programmed with a sampling rate to collect data from the connected dataloggers, and a report rate to send data to the "Home Station", and email and SMS recipients.
If more detailed data is desired, the dataloggers can be programmed to record independently in their internal memory. High and low level alarms can also be set for each datalogger.
Data is sent as text to each email and SMS recipient. It is automatically saved on the Home Station PC in separate files, as well as a dynamically updated database. The database can be accessed using your own applications for posting to a website or other custom setup. Data can also be viewed in the LevelSender Software, or files can be exported for use in other programs.
Changes to the reporting schedule can be done directly through a USB cable and LevelSender Software. Alternatively, remote schedule changes can be sent to individual LevelSender 5 stations by email from the Home Station, which will update the LevelSender 5 at a next scheduled report.
