U20-001-03 Data Logger Temperature and Water Level

The HOBO water level data logger features high accuracy at a great price and ease-of-use, with no cumbersome vent tubes or desiccants to maintain. This data logger is ideal for recording water levels and temperatures in shallow wells, streams, lakes and freshwater wetlands.

• Lightning protection - no long signal wires, and electronics are shielded in stainless steel housing for use in freshwater (see the Water Level logger sensor location drawing)
• HOBOware Pro software provides easy conversion to accurate water level reading, fully compensated for barometric pressure temperature, and water density.
• Multiple-rate sampling allows faster sampling at critical times such as when pumping starts or stops.
• Available in 4 depth ranges
• Ideal for use in wells, streams, lakes, wetlands and tidal areas
• No-vent-tube design for easy reliable deployment
• Available in stainless and titanium versions
• Durable ceramic pressure sensor

Environment: The U20-001-03 Data Logger is for use in Outdoor and Underwater environments

Measurements:
The U20-001-03 Data Logger supports the following measurements: Temperature, Barometric Pressure, Water Level

Pressure Sensor
Operation range: 0 to 850 kPa (0 to 123.3 psia); approximately 0 to 76.5 m (0 to 251 ft) of water depth at sea level, or 0 to 79.5 m (0 to 262 ft) of water at 3,000 m (10,000 ft) of altitude

Factory calibrated range: 69 to 850 kPa (10 to 123.3 psia), 0° to 40°C (32° to 104°F)

Burst pressure: 1200 kPa (174 psia) or 112 m (368 ft) depth

Water level accuracy*: Typical error - 0.05% FS, 3.8 cm (0.125 ft) water

Maximum error: - 0.1% FS, 7.6 cm (0.25 ft) water

Raw pressure accuracy**: 0.3% FS, 2.55 kPa (0.37 psi) maximum error

Resolution :< 0.085 kPa (0.012 psi), 0.87 cm (0.028 ft) water

Pressure response time 90%: < 1 second

Thermal response time (90%)†: Approximately 10 minutes in water to achieve full temperature compensation of the pressure sensor

* With accurate reference water level measurement and Barometric Compensation Assistant data

** Absolute pressure sensor accuracy includes all pressure drift, temperature, and hysteresis-induced errors

† Maximum error due to rapid thermal changes is approximately 0.5%.

Temperature Sensor
Operation range: -20° to 50°C (-4° to 122°F)

Accuracy: 0.37°C at 20°C (0.67°F at 68°F), see Plot A

Resolution: 0.1°C at 20°C (0.18°F at 68°F) (10-bit), see Plot A

Response time (90%): 3.5 minutes in water (typical)

Stability (drift): 0.1°C (0.18°F) per year

Logger
Real-time clock: ± 1 minute per month 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F)

Battery: 2/3 AA, 3.6 Volt Lithium, factory-replaceable

Battery life (typical use): 5 years with 1 minute or greater logging interval

Memory: (non-volatile) 64K bytes memory (approx. 21,700 pressure and temperature samples)

Dimensions: 2.46 cm (0.97 inches) diameter, 15 cm (5.9 inches) length; mounting hole 6.3 mm (0.25 inches) diameter

Weight: Approximately 210 g (7.4 oz)

Wetted materials: 316 stainless steel (for use in freshwater), Viton® o-rings, acetyl cap, ceramic sensor

Shock/drop: Logger is sensitive to shocks. Handle with care and avoid any impact. Always use proper packaging when shipping the logger.

Logging interval: Fixed-rate or multiple logging intervals, with up to 8 user-defined logging intervals and durations; logging intervals from 1 second to 18 hours. Refer to HOBOware software manual.

Launch modes: Immediate start and delayed start

Offload modes: Offload while logging; stop and offload

Battery indication: Battery voltage can be viewed in status screen and optionally logged in datafile. Low battery indication in datafile.
