Model 102 Laser Marked Water Level Meters

The Solinst Model 102 Water Level Meter is designed to measure groundwater levels, especially in small diameter tubes and piezometers or where a flexible cable is needed to snake past an in-well pump. The cable has a heavy-duty jacket and stainless steel coaxial conductors for strength. Permanent markings are precisely laser etched on the cable every 1/100 ft. or each millimeter.

Also available from Solinst, is the Model 101 Flat Tape Water Level Meter which features an easy-to-read, easily repaired flat tape. (See Model 101 Data Sheet).

 

Laser Marked Cable

 

The coaxial cable has laser etched markings every 1/100 ft. or each millimeter, to provide high accuracy and reliability.

The cable reels smoothly, remains flexible, and hangs straight in the well. It comes in lengths from 100 ft. - 1000 ft. (30 m - 300 m).

A tinned copper-braided shield gives flexibility and a stranded stainless steel central conductor gives strength. It is easy to repair and splice. The cable jacket is of heavy-duty polyethylene for durability.

Operating Principles

 

The Model 102 Water Level Meter uses a choice of two small diameter probe designs, attached to a narrow coaxial cable, fitted on a sturdy ergonomically designed reel. A standard 9 volt battery, housed in an easy-access battery drawer, powers the Water Level Meter.

When the probe enters water the electrical circuit is completed, sending a signal back to the reel where a light and clearly audible buzzer are activated. The water level is then determined by taking a reading directly from the cable at the top of the well casing or borehole.

A sensitivity control allows the buzzer to be turned off while in cascading water, and ensures a clear signal in both high and low conductivity conditions.
