HOBO U20L Water Level Data Logger

5 200 SEK

An affordable data logger for continuous measurement of water depth and temperature with high accuracy sufficient to suit research applications. Available in variants adapted for 0-4 meters, 0-9 meters and 0-30 meters measuring range.

Note! To use the tool to compensate for barometric pressure in the HOBOware software, data from another logger above the surface within a 1 km radius is needed.

A water level gauge with built-in barometric pressure compensation is the bluetooth equivalent of the U20L: MX2001

The 4G equivalent that uses the same sensor as the MX2001 is the MicroRX Water Level
