Solinst Rainlogger 5 Dataloggers

Description Of Solinst Rainlogger 5 Dataloggers

The Rainlogger 5 is designed to record the tips of a standard tipping-bucket rain gauge. Compact and waterproof, this durable field unit offers long-term reliability with a battery that lasts up to 10 years.

The event time stamp and total rainfall per time period are logged in non-volatile memory, which holds up to 100,000 readings. Sampling is event-based, as the Rainlogger 5 records and saves each tip of the tipping bucket as it happens.

Compatible with Levelogger Software and Solinst Telemetry Systems, Rainloggers are excellent for measuring local precipitation, larger-scale remote monitoring of watersheds, and localized stormwater event monitoring. Levelogger customers can now add precipitation data to their water level monitoring networks.

About Solinst Rainlogger 5 Dataloggers

The Rainlogger 5 is an inexpensive datalogger designed to record the tips of a standard tipping-bucket rain gauge. This compact and durable field unit offers long-term reliability and convenience with a battery that lasts up to 10 years, and ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection with an ABS housing.

The event time stamp and total rainfall per time period is logged in non-volatile memory, which holds up to 100,000 readings. Sampling is event based, as the Rainlogger 5 records and saves each tip of the tipping-bucket as it happens.

Levelogger customers can add rainfall data to their water level monitoring networks using the intuitive Levelogger Software. The Rainlogger 5 provides easy incorporation of precipitation data into existing Levelogger data. Rainfall data can allow correlation between precipitation events and changes in groundwater or surface water levels.

The Rainlogger 5 is compatible with all Solinst Levelogger 5 communication and deployment accessories. Logged data can be downloaded direct to a PC, your smart device using the Solinst Levelogger App, or to a DataGrabber 5 data transfer device. This versatile logger has the ability to integrate into a Solinst Telemetry System and has the option to communicate using SDI-12 protocol.
