Overview

The CRS456V consists of a submersible water-level and water-temperature sensor with its own time clock and memory to store the collected data—in a compact titanium case. This data logging capability frees users to place the sensor in remote sites and let it collect data for long periods. HydroSci software is included and elegantly supports test setup, data retrieval, and data display. Long battery life and rugged construction mean you can trust the CRS456V to collect important data. Low cost and ease of use make it a good choice in a variety of applications. The CRS451V is the same as this, but with a stainless-steel case.

Technical Description

The CRS456V has several pressure range options.

HydroSci software is available for download. This software simplifies the process of configuring the CRS456V. Users can configure the CRS456V to monitor surface water, ground water, or a standard pump test.

HydroSci software will display the data in tabular or graphical formats.
