Low-Cost Level Logger

The DCX-ECO is an autonomous, accu powered instrument. It features a stainless steel 18 mm in diameter housing designed to record water depth (pressure) and temperature over long periods at a very economical price. Its small size, reloadable accu and vented gauge (VG) option are just a few of the many advantages provided by the DCX-ECO.The electronics employ the latest microprocessor technology which give high accuracy and resolution for the pressure and temperature signals.The measured values are mathematically compensated for all linearity and temperature errors of the pressure sensors. The use of a non-volatile memory ensures high data security. The sensor, electronics and the accu are housed in a fully welded stainless steel tube, for submersible deployment. For data read-out the DCX-ECO must be recovered from the measurement point. The end cap, sealed by two O-Rings, is then removed to access the data port. The DCX-ECO works with an absolute pressure sensor. In shallow water depths where the influence of barometric pressure changes should be considered, it is recommended that a second data logger (Baro) is placed at the surface, to record the barometric pressure. The PC then calculates the differential pressure resp. the water depth by subtracting the two measured values. The Logger 4.x-Software is delivered along with the interface cable K103A (RS232) or K104A (USB). The software is compatible with Windows and allows to configure and read out our KELLER data loggers (DCX and Leo Record).The measuring values may be graphically displayed, exported, air pressure compensated or converted into other units.The Online-function shows the actual values of the instrument. The Online-function shows the actual values of the instrument. The Logger includes the Reader and Writer.
