HAMPTON, Va., July 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Measurement
Specialties (NASDAQ: MEAS), an expert in sensor design and
manufacturing, now offers a new TruBlue Water Level Data Logger for
remote monitoring of water levels in the harshest water
environments. The battery-powered TruBlue 255 Level can
collect up to a half-million time stamped pressure and temperature
data points with its standard 8 MB of internal memory or can be
outfitted with 56 MB to gather 3.7 million data points.

Constructed of welded 316 stainless steel or titanium, the
fully-sealed level transducer withstands the harsh agents found in
a wide range of freshwater and salt water applications. These
include aquifer characterization, slug and pump tests, groundwater
monitoring as well as stream and stage gauging.
The TruBlue 255 Level unit provides accurate measurement in
flood and storm management, tide and harbor gauging, and rapid
sampling wave studies. The unit can sample and log data
at 4 Hz for 14 days using the auxiliary battery pack and extended
memory options.
Equipped with a low power microcomputer, the battery-operated
TruBlue 255 Level can log depth (level) and temperature for up to
ten years without the need of a terminal box. The combination
of precision, performance and rugged reliability provided by the
instrument surpasses any other available transducer on the
market.
Level accuracy is +/-0.05% FS TEB from 0 degrees C to 50 degrees
C with less than 1 cm of vertical accuracy error on up to 10 m (30
ft) of water. Available in level ranges from 5 m to 200 m of
water and resolution is 0.01% FS or better.
Simple, high speed data retrieval of 1,500 points per second is
facilitated via the free, user-friendly TruWare software for PC or
mobile devices that comes with each unit. TruWare easily converts
data to an accurate water level reading that is fully compensated
for barometric pressure, temperature and water density. Also
included with each transducer is a 48-point calibration report and
a two-year warranty.
TruBlue 255 Level Transducers have two cabling options to fit
user requirements. Select from either an absolute
communication cable or a USB-to-backshell communication cable.
