If you are programming 5 Series dataloggers in the office, the Optical Reader most commonly used for communication with a PC is a Desktop Reader 5.

Note:
Always plug in the USB device before starting the Software. See Section 4.1.2 for more information on communication with USB ports.
If you have deployed your Levelogger 5 in the field using wireline or cord (not on a L5 Direct Read Cable), a Field Reader 5 is most commonly used for communication with a PC.

If you are programming an Edge or Gold Series datalogger, you will require an Edge–L5 DRC Adaptor to connect to a Desktop Reader 5 or Field Reader 5.
Note:
The Edge–L5 DRC Adaptor contains a small, long-lasting battery (not user-replaceable). The Adaptor should always be stored above freezing temperatures and with caps on to prevent unnecessary battery drainage and protect the optical eyes.
Note:
The Edge–L5 DRC Adaptor also allows the connection of a Levelogger Edge or Gold to a L5 Direct Read Cable. See Section 10.1.1.2.
Note:
When connecting an Edge–L5 DRC Adaptor, only turn the coupling on the Adaptor and hold the datalogger still.
