Starlevel Shaft Encoder Leaflet

	Internet Enabled Starlevel Precision Water Level Instrument Key Features Integrated Neon Remote Terminal (NRT) allows real-time data reporting over the internet Hi precision shaft encoder technology Integrated NRT logger for local storage LCD display, reverse rotation, change scale and reset Displays water level continuously 1mm accuracy Adjustable offset and scale Rain Gauge input Low battery indication Optional internal micrologger for integrated data logging Float operated instruments can be the most accurate way to monitor water levels. The Starlevel Precision Level Instrument can achieve operating accuracy and resolution of 0.2mm. This accuracy is maintained for the service life of the instrument without calibration or maintenance, apart from periodic battery changes. This new model incorporates a Neon internet enabled data logger giving this instrument the capability of recording data locally and also sending the data for viewing on the internet or emailing it straight into your inbox. The Neon system is one of the most advanced telemetry systems available in the world making this unit the complete fully automated precision water level recording instrument. This instrument has the range to monitor surface and underground waters, and the precision to monitor rainfall and evaporation. It supersedes models 6541A, 6509 and 6531, models that have been installed at more than 2500 sites. The Starlevel interfaces with the surface of the water via a float and counterweight system. On installation, the instrument is set to display the measured water level. As the water level changes, the input shaft rotates and an optical encoder, mounted on the input shaft detects the movement. The encoder is continuously monitored, updating the LCD display as the instrument tracks water level. The readings can be recorded by an associated or integrated data logger. The very low mechanical friction and inertia of the instrument mean that it can produce data with high precision and accuracy. A replaceable battery pack powers the instrument for more than twelve months. Practical design and rugged construction ensures easy operation and long service life. Specifications. Range: Standard 0.0 to 65.5 or 299.99metres Resolution: 1.0mm, 0.2mm or 0.1 inch, depending on the chosen float pulley Accuracy: Same as resolution when a suitable float system is used Display: Six digit LCD Temperature: -10° to 60°C Cable: 5 metres supplied. Up to 30 metres may be used Dimensions: 275mm x 180mm x 1400mm (H x W x D) Weight: 2.7kg (including battery) Construction: Exterior PVC, aluminium and stainless steel Enclosure: Rigid PVC IP65 Outputs: SDI-12 interface version 1.3 compliant Dual HSIO channels. (Unidata High Speed Serial Interface). Up to eight instruments can be daisy chained Optional 4-20mA output Power: Internal alkaline battery pack (Unidata Model 6910A) Expected battery life >12 months. External battery power 7-15V DC may be connected.
