WATER LEVEL

The OTT CTD is an integrated sensor and datalogger for measurement of water level, temperature, and conductivity in groundwater and surface water applications.
It features a robust ceramic measuring cell for long term accuracy and has outputs for salinity and total dissolved solids (TDS).  Its built in datalogger manages and stores all measurements at user-programmable intervals.

• Application: Surface water, Groundwater

• Measurement technology: Vented pressure cell and 4-electrode graphite conductivity cell

• Parameters measured: Waterlevel, Temperature, Conductivity

EXAMPLE Of USE

• Continuous or real-time water level, temperature, and conductivity measurement of:

• Groundwater wells

• Streams, rivers, channels, and canals

• 
  Ideal for monitoring:

• Continuous water level networks

• Short-term or long-term projects

• Salt water intrusion

• Aquifer storage and recovery

• Estuaries and wetlands

•  

• Reservoirs, lakes, and wetlands

 

ADVANTAGE

Outputs for conductivity include specific conductivity, salinity, and total dissolved solids

Ceramic pressure cell provides industry-leading accuracy

Conductivity, depth, and temperature measurements are combined into a single device that easily installs in a 1” or larger well or conduit

4 MB of memory provides capacity for over 500,000 data points—ideal for long-term deployments OR short-term, high resolution pumping studies

Can be powered for over 18 months with off-the-shelf alkaline batteries or over 5 years with lithium batteries

Ability to perform contact gauge control measurements without sensor removal, so no need to pull the cable for routine maintenance
 

• Complete in-well solution: all components are inserted into the groundwater well, eliminating the possibility of instrument vandalism

• Battery life: up to 5 years with lithium batteries, with alkaline options are also available.

• Long-term accuracy: a robust ceramic pressure cell will not deform over time, and an accurate 4-electrode conductivity measuring cell provides outputs for salinity and total dissolved solids (TDS)

• User-friendly interaction: only one program required to setup unit and download data, plus a simple infrared communication interface that provides easy on-site data download 

• Simple Maintenance: Infrared interface, batteries, and desiccant are accessible at the top of the well or pipe and no tools are required
