Maintenance - Solinst Levelogger 5 Series Quick Start Manual

Maintenance

As with any monitoring project, you should select the proper equipment and determine a
maintenance schedule based on the environment specific to your application.
Maintenance tips include:
• Inspect regularly, and replace the o-ring at the optical end of the Levelogger if damaged
• Clean the optical eye of the Levelogger with a clean, soft cloth or cotton swab
• Rinse the Levelogger body using a mild, non-residual, non-abrasive household cleaner
• Use a very soft-plastic bristled brush, if needed, to clean the Levelogger body
• Do not insert any object through the circulation holes at the sensor end of the Levelogger
• See the Levelogger User Guide Maintenance Section
sufficient for certain issues, such as hard water build up
• Clean Levelogger 5 LTC conductivity sensor pins before calibration and before/after
deployment—see the Solinst Levelogger User Guide
• Stop the Levelogger from recording before storing
• Store Leveloggers with the installation cap on and in the case they were originally provided in
• Store Leveloggers in above-freezing conditions
• Read our Technical Bulletin
Note: A Solinst Biofoul Screen can be used to protect the Levelogger 5 from biofouling on
the pressure sensor, and the conductivity cell of a Levelogger 5 LTC.
Note: All Leveloggers should be deployed and stored with the installation cap or L5 Direct
Read Cable attached. This prevents unnecessary battery drainage and protects the
optical eye.
