Overview
The Solinst Water Level Temperature Sensor is a compact, all-in-one submersible hydrostatic level transmitter that provides continuous, stable and accurate water level and temperature readings for a wide variety of applications. The water level pressure sensor and temperature sensor are enclosed in a slim, robust 22 mm x 192 mm (7/8" x 7.55") 316L stainless steel housing. Double O-ring seals prevent leaks, and a Faraday cage design protects against power surges and lightning.
Design
Each probe features a removable nose cone for optional use of the 1/4" NPTM threaded connection. The durable water level pressure sensor provides 0.05% FS accuracy with automatic temperature-compensated readings. There are six pressure ranges to choose from (5-200 m), with options for absolute (non-vented) and gauged (vented) pressure sensor setups.
Data Availability
The Water Level Temperature Sensor works with digital and analog protocols – MODBUS, SDI-12, and 4-20mA (add-on Current Loop Adaptor). They are easy to integrate into existing SCADA or PLC systems. Communication cable assemblies are available in lengths up to 300 meters. The cables are easily and securely attached to the sensor using a threaded connection. Simple PC software utilities are used to set up the sensor for the different protocols, perform simple diagnostics, and update sensor firmware if required. A USB-A programming cable is available for connection to the PC.

Solinst Model 301 WLTS: Works Well Under Pressure
From an already successful line of water level and temperature loggers comes the new Water Level Temperature Sensor (WLTS) by Solinst, Inc. Unlike other water level measurement devices offered by Solinst, the WLTS is designed to integrate with 3rd party data loggers in industrial and environmental monitoring systems using digital communication protocols. Sensors that can be easily integrated with external devices allow for the addition of stable and continuous water level and temperature measurements to existing monitoring networks. While some water level sensors use pressure transducers to determine water level, the WLTS utilizes a hydrostatic level transmitter to record water levels and a platinum resistance temperature detector for temperature compensation.

Though recent wildfires have sparked new conversations about wildfire management and response, groups like the Yuba Watershed Institute have been monitoring the forests and water resources of the Sierra Nevada region for decades, managing approximately 5,000 acres of land with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and about 7,000 acres in private land partnerships. The goal of the Institute is to work with local communities and land agencies to improve watershed and forestry management through informed practices and public outreach. The goals of the Yuba Watershed Institute are three-fold: Improve the ability of fire suppression agencies like the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection ( CAL FIRE ) and the US Forest Service.

Real-time wave data supports accurate weather prediction, safe and efficient maritime operations, and provides valuable safety and operating condition information for recreation and commercial fishing. Understanding wave dynamics also helps with the design of protective coastal structures like seawalls, breakwaters, and jetties. It also supports better prediction of their impact on sediment transport and coastal geomorphology. Wave data is a key factor in qualifying and designing offshore wind farms and harnessing kinetic energy for electrical generation. It helps with the understanding of ocean-atmosphere interactions and contributes to studies of sea-level rise and climate change impacts.
