Model 4001 SRU Solinst Readout Unit
Instant Access to Compensated Water Levels & More!
The Solinst Readout Unit (SRU) is a field-ready device designed to take and display instant water level readings from a deployed Solinst data logger, as well as allowing simple download of stored data.
How the SRU Makes Your Life Easier in the Field
- Display instant water level readings from a connected Solinst data logger
- Record and save an independent real-time logging session
- Barometrically compensate real-time readings using internal barometer
- Download and store data from the connected data logger’s internal memory
- View the data logger status, including battery life, memory remaining, firmware version and logging information
- Transfer real-time and log files to a PC to view using Levelogger Software
View Compensated Real-time Water Level Data
With the SRU connected, you can select a real-time sampling rate and start a monitoring session independent of the data logger’s internal logging mode. Recorded data can be saved in the SRU memory. The SRU has a built-in barometer, which provides the option of showing and saving water level readings corrected for barometric pressure. Real-time logging and viewing of barometrically compensated level readings is convenient when performing aquifer tests, such as pumping tests.
Download and save Multiple Data Logger Files
The SRU is also a data download and storage device that has enough memory to save 20 full LTC logs or 18 full LT logs (~1.8 million LTC readings or 2.7 million LT readings). Transfer files to a PC by connecting the SRU using a USB cable. Files are downloaded and opened using Solinst Levelogger Software.
Quickly Check Your Down-hole Data Logger Status
The SRU provides access to information about the connected data logger’s battery level, memory, serial number, firmware version, and logging mode. This is useful for quickly checking the status of a data logger without removing it from the installation.

The Importance of Measuring Drawdown
How Using a Levelogger and 101D Water Level Drawdown Meter Together Provides Essential Data What is Drawdown? Drawdown is a change in groundwater level due to an applied stress, caused by events such as: Pumping from a well Pumping from a neighbouring well Intensive water taking from local area Seasonal declines as recharge rates lower How is Drawdown Measured?
