The Level TROLL 100 and 200 are rugged, accurate instruments for
measuring pressure, level, and temperature in natural groundwater and
surface water, as well as industrial, waste, and other installations.
Both instruments have completely sealed bodies that contain an absolute
(non-vented) pressure sensor, temperature sensor, real-time clock,
microprocessor, sealed lithium battery, and internal memory.
The Level TROLL 100 is designed to hang by a backshell hanger from a
suspension wire. The Level TROLL 200 can utilize the backshell hanger
or can connect to a cable for easy top-of-well RS485 communications via
RuggedReader
handheld PC or laptop PC. Additionally, Level TROLL
®
200 cables with stripped and tinned cable ends can communicate with
data loggers or PLC devices via RS485 or SDI-12.
