Datalogger (level meter) for wells and boreholes

H520 – Level Gauge for Wells, Sump Pits, and Tanks

The H520 water level meter is designed to measure water levels in wells, boreholes, retention tanks, and rainwater and wastewater collection tanks.

  • Two types of sensors with measuring ranges of 0–10 m or 0–25 m of water level
  • Quick and easy sensor installation by submerging it by the cable or screwing it into a 1/2" threaded fitting
  • Absolute pressure measurement allows the use of an inexpensive 3-wire connection cable between the TSH27 sensor and the H520 display unit
  • Atmospheric pressure sensor integrated into the level meter
  • Durable stainless steel housing of the TSH27 sensor
  • Quick setup of measurement parameters using 3 buttons inside the H520 display unit
  • Binary output for relay activation
  • Wide supply voltage range from 8 to 28 V DC, low current consumption
  • A professional solution at an affordable price

Description

The two red LED displays on the H520 level gauge show the measured level in meters with a resolution of 0.1 m and the level as a percentage of the set maximum possible level. The percentage value is also clearly shown on a bar graph.
The electronics of the H520 level meter are fully integrated into a plastic housing measuring 80 x 120 x 15 mm. The level gauge can therefore be mounted on the front panel of a control cabinet or on the dashboard of a tanker vehicle, even without the lower part of the housing.
The H520 level meter does not have its own power battery; therefore, it requires an external power supply in the range of 8 to 28 V DC / 0.15 A.
The H520 level gauge does not allow remote access to measured data, unlike the H1 through H40 data loggers or the H530 and H531 smart metering modules.

Applications

  • Measuring water levels in wells, boreholes, retention basins, and rainwater and wastewater collection tanks
