Overview
Leveloggers measure absolute pressure (water pressure + atmospheric pressure) expressed in feet, meters, centimeters, psi, kPa, or bar.
The most accurate method of obtaining changes in water level is to compensate for atmospheric pressure fluctuations using a Barologger 5, avoiding time lag in the compensation.
The Barologger 5 is set above high water level in one location on site. One Barologger can be used to compensate all Leveloggers in a 30 km (20 mile) radius and/or with every 300 m (1000 ft.) change in elevation.
The Levelogger Software Data Compensation Wizard automatically produces compensated data files using the synchronized data files from the Barologger and Leveloggers on site.
The Barologger 5 uses pressure algorithms based on air rather than water pressure, giving superior accuracy.

FAQ's
The free app is available on both Apple® and Android™ smart devices.
Apple devices must be running iOS 11 or later on the following compatible devices:
- iPhone
- iPad
- iPad mini
- iPod touch.
Android devices must be running version 5.0 or higher. Solinst does not guarantee compatibility on all devices running 5.0, but testing confirms the following can be used:
- Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 - Model SGH-1337M
- Phone: Samsung Galaxy S5 - Model SM-G900W8
- Tablet: Samsung Tab 4 (10.1”) - Model SM-T530NU
As the Levelogger App Interface will not connect directly to the top of a Solinst datalogger, it is necessary to have connection accessories. With the Levelogger or Rainlogger, one of the following accessories is required:
- Direct Read Cable, clients use this option to suspend dataloggers in the field when they wish to communicate downhole.
- When working with Leveloggers that are suspended from wireline, or cord, the units must be removed from the well and connected to either a Direct Read Cable (as above) or an Optical Adaptor.
- For the LevelVent, just connect to the unit via the Vented Cable and LevelVent Wellhead that all units are suspended from in the field – no other connection accessories are required.
- The AquaVent communication connection is made from the App Interface to the AquaVent Wellhead using an App Connector Cable that is ordered separately.
- Program and start dataloggers in the field.
- Simplify data management in the field by transporting and using less equipment.
- View real-time readings.
- Download and e-mail logged data files.
- Calibrate LTC Leveloggers (NEW).
- Run the diagnostic utility (NEW) – used for troubleshooting
Leveloggers. Provides detailed information on the datalogger,
and includes options for running a self-test, doing a memory
dump and creating/emailing reports.
Drivers checkup:
- Go to Control Panel
- Open Device Manager and look for the Optical Reader listed under “ports” or “other devices”. It will show up with an exclamation mark. To make sure you are looking at the right device, unplug it and plug it back in, the Optical Reader will disappear and appears from the list.
- Right click on the device
- Click on Update Driver Software (you must have Admin rights to do this, if not, ask to your IT Dept)
- Click on Browse My Computer
- The folder that contains the drivers should be highlighted in blue in the address bar. The right address should be C: Program Files x86 / Solinst / Levelogger 4_4 / Drivers. If this is not the address you see, click on Browse button and look for the Solinst folder: C: Program Files x86 / Solinst / Levelogger 4_5 / Drivers. Do not go any further, don’t select any subfolder under Drivers. Click OK.
- Make sure “include subfolders” check box below the address bar is checked
- Click Next
- At this time Windows should start installing the drivers from the correct folder.
- When finish, go back to Device Manager. If the device was previously listed under “other devices”, it will be now listed under “ports” as USB Serial Port (COM#) assigned.
- Please repeat the steps from 3 to 8 to make sure it was installed properly.
- Close Device Manager and go to Solinst Software. The USB Serial Port (COM#) assigned should be in the drop menu.
