The industrial equipment supplier Bell Flow Systems has launched the cost effective dipperLog NANO water level logger to its ground water measurement range. It is a cost effective solution, costing only £299, and it is perfect for those looking to monitor water level applications in ground water, estuarine, and surface water applications.

The dipperLog NANO is available in its original version, which is a standard model with a level sensor that can be deployed with either stainless steel wire, or with direct read cable. Additionally, for long term monitoring applications a Barlog NANO will be required for barometric compensation. The second version is called Vented dipperLog NANO, which can be specified with vented cable for data collection from the surface, without needing to retrieve the sensor.

Some of the advantages of it include the fast logging interval which allows readings to be collected as fast as one reading per second; the battery life for the device is up to 7 years; and the internal data logger offers a collection of 32,000 data sets. Programming of the ground water logger can be achieved using simple PC software, whilst data from the device can be collected by third party data logger or telemetry systems using the on-board SDI-12 or RS232 protocols.

Bell Flow Systems was established in 1997 with the emphasis being firmly placed on the provision of flow measurement solutions to industry. Since that time, Bell Flow Systems, together with its sister company Cortex Displays Ltd, have adapted and grown to meet new demands and challenges in an ever changing market place. They now build systems, manufacture display instrumentation and supply a range of products to the renewables market and the environmental market.
