Introducing the NEW Level TROLL® 500... a breakthrough for water level and temperature monitoring.

The Level TROLL® contains everything needed for water level measurement and data logging--level and temperature sensors, a data logger, internal power in a 18.3mm (0.72 in) diameter housing with a lot of exciting new capabilities. Since it is built entirely from rugged titanium that is welded to eliminate o-ring seals, you can have total confidence in all applications, even marine environments. The Level TROLL® is the easiest way to monitor level ever!

With the Level TROLL®, you'll discover perfect connections with our new Twist-Lock connectors. And, they are extendable--an industry first! Forget having to change batteries. Our new super low-power system guarantees long-term operation plus the unit can be powered with external power. System integration is easy with built-in RS-485/232 Modbus, SDI-12, and 4-20mA communication capability. Are you ready to monitor level with absolute confidence? Try the new Level TROLL®!

Applications:

  • River, lake, stream gaging
  • Landslide & flood prevention
  • Stormwater monitoring
  • Flow measurements
  • Research, studies
  • Marine buoys
  • Water pumping management
  • Estuaries and coastal monitoring
  • Long-term groundwater monitoring
  • Water resource management, dams
  • Landfill & industrial water levels
  • Combined sewer overflow (CSO)
  • Mine sites
  • Wetland monitoring
  • Remeditation, brownfields
  • Construction dewatering
  • Watershed drainage basin monitoring
  • Soil vapor extraction (SVE)

Features & Benefits:

  • Ultra-rugged, all-titanium design – Perfect for fresh and marine water monitoring. No more worries about corrosion. Excellent for marine, brackish and acidic sites.
  • Super accurate sensors – record minute changes in water level and temperature.
  • TIG-welded seals – Prevents flooding of instrument.
  • Ultra-low power system guarantees 5 years or 2-million readings – Forget changing batteries or running out of power.
  • Uses external battery or line power – no worries about running out of power.
  • RS-485 MODBUS, SDI-12, and 4-20mA – provides for easy connections to existing and online systems
  • Twist-Lock connectors that “lock” tight – 100% reliability
  • Halogen-free cables (LSZH rated) – no worries of toxic fumes if submitted to fire
  • Sealed desiccant options – allow for barometric compensation for maximum accuracy while preventing water & humidity intrusion
  • Extend cables by simply adding additional segments – maximizes your investment and maintain flexibility with your unit.
  • -20 to 80ºC temperature range – useful for geothermal and hot spring research and monitoring
  • Easiest ever Win-Situ® software – get the data you need fast! Large, sizable display that’s easy to see from a distance.
  • Linear logging – perfect for long-term monitoring
  • Pause logging feature – Pause logging when removing a unit. Reinstall and restart where you left off!
  • Specify start and stop times for logging – collect the data you need up to the date you want and no more
  • Ability to “undelete” files from the unit – no worries of accidentally deleting your data.
  • Data saved by sites not files – collect and save information by site automatically. No need to transfer data later.
  • Easy-to-read memory and battery gauges – know exactly how much is left
  • Friendly Wizards guide every step – reduces complicated steps and the need for tedious manuals
  • Submersible ranges up to 351m / cable length up to 1200m – measure to the depth you need.
  • FCC and CE emission tested – prevents susceptibility to outside emission interference and transient electrical surges
  • Version, range, and manufacturing info printed on side of the unit – know the details of the unit without opening the software. Reduces accidental over pressuring
