The Onset HOBO U20L-01 is a non-vented water level logger that records absolute pressure and temperature in wells, streams, lakes, wetlands and tidal areas. It covers 0 to 207 kPa, about 0 to 9 m (30 ft) of water at sea level, with a typical water level error of ±0.1% FS (1.0 cm).
The HOBO U20L-01 Water Level Logger is used for monitoring changing water levels in a wide range of applications, including streams, lakes, wetlands, tidal areas and groundwater. It records absolute pressure and temperature, and HOBOware Pro software converts the pressure readings into water level readings using a reference water level, with compensation for temperature, fluid density and barometric pressure.
The logger features a ceramic pressure sensor, a durable polypropylene housing and a protective end cap for deployment in existing wells or stilling wells. Because it uses an absolute pressure sensor, there are no vent tubes or desiccants to maintain. The U20L-01 covers 0 to 207 kPa (0 to 30 psia), approximately 0 to 9 m (0 to 30 ft) of water depth at sea level, and with this smaller range it is also a good barometric reference for other water level loggers in the same area.
HOBOware Pro (version 3.5 or higher) is required for logger operation, together with a coupler (COUPLER2-C) and either the USB Optic Base Station (BASE-U-4) or the HOBO Waterproof Shuttle (U-DTW-1, firmware version 3.2.0 or later) for configuration and data offload. Note: a calibration certificate is not offered for this logger; if a NIST-traceable calibration certificate is required, see the HOBO U20 series.
