LeveLine CTD Logger

Description

The LeveLine-CTD package include a 10m water level sensor, 10m cable (or deployment code) to the surface, RC-300 RapidCal Solution and LL-PC-Kit. Units are ideal for monitoring rivers, docks or coastal water levels in a single package. The LL-ABS-CTD-Package contains: a 0-10m LeveLine Absolute CTD, LeveLine-Baro, 10m Deployment cord, RC-300 (Conductivity calibration solution 2570µS) and a LL-PC-KIT download cable. The LL-GAUGE-CTD-Package contains: a 0-10m LeveLine Gauge CTD, LL-EX-10m-V (vented cable), EX-DH (desiccant housing that fits to the cable connector), DC-100 (100ml desiccant cartridge, fits to EX-DH), RC-300 (conductivity calibration solution 2570µS) and a LL-PC-KIT. download cable.

The 4 ring stainless steel conductivity sensor for EC and salinity measurements is located under the elongated nose sleeve. The black plastic nose sleeve (shown removed on the right of the photo) forms an integral, working part of the Probe’s EC measurement system, and MUST be fitted during calibration and measurement for correct operation. On a regular basis, thoroughly clean the inside of the nose sleeve and the four metal EC contacts situated in the EC cell with a soft cloth or toothbrush and non-abrasive detergent. Never use solvent or alcohol based products to clean the EC cell. After cleaning, replace the nose sleeve and re-calibrate the EC sensor with the RapidCal solution.
