Leveline-Mini-CTD Water Level Sensor

The LeveLine-Mini-CTD is a precise water level, conductivity, salinity and temperature sensor designed for diverse seawater and surface water applications. Encased in a sealed unit, it integrates conductivity, salinity, temperature and water level sensing capabilities. The LeveLine-Mini-CTD includes the same piezoresistive ceramic pressure sensor as the Leveline-Mini sensor, plus a 4 ring stainless steel conductivity sensor for EC and salinity measurements. All parameters include automatic temperature compensated from -20 to 80°C. Offered with multiple cable configurations and absolute or gauge options, this sensor requires connection to an external data logger or AquaTel telemetry device for power and data logging.

LeveLine-Mini-CTD Sensor

Description

The LeveLine-Mini-CTD adds conductivity and salinity measurements to the Leveline-Mini water level sensor. The sensor incorporates piezoresistive sensor, the same 4 ring stainless steel conductivity as our multiparameter water quality probes for robust EC and salinity measurements and integral temperature compensation circuitry, ensuring accurate readings across an operational temperature range of -20 to +80°C. Users can select from various full-scale pressure ranges and specify either an absolute or gauge pressure reference, along with a range of cable termination options.

The sensor housing is constructed from a carbon fibre and titanium composite. This material selection provides a high strength-to-weight ratio and enhanced corrosion resistance, critical for reliable long-term deployment in challenging environmental conditions, including saline solutions.

Features

  • 0.05% FS accuracy.
