Aquaread LeveLine Mini CTD Water Level is a titanium water level, temperature, conductivity and salinity measuring sensor that has been specifically designed to bring conductivity and salinity measurements to your telemetric deployments.
The LeveLine-Mini-CTD is available in both absolute and gauge versions. If your chosen datalogger / telemetry device includes a built-in air pressure sensor, we recommend the absolute version as the logging device can utilise the air pressure reading for compensation. If an air pressure sensor is unavailable then the gauge version is best suited for telemetric logging.
Gauge sensors require vented cables and desiccant cartridges to remove any moisture from the vent to prevent blocking and inaccurate compensation.
