Levelogger 5 App Interface Quick Start Guide for Android™

Introduction

The Levelogger® 5 App Interface uses Bluetooth® wireless technology to connect a Solinst datalogger to an Android™ smart device running Android 9.0 or higher. Please see the list of tested devices on the last page of this quick start guide.

Once the connection is made, you can use the Solinst Levelogger App to interact with the datalogger. The Solinst Levelogger App allows you to view real time data from the connected datalogger, as well as view, download, and e-mail logged readings. You can also program the dataloggers or apply a saved settings file.

The Levelogger 5 App Interface is compatible with the Levelogger 5 series of dataloggers, LevelVent 5, and AquaVent 5, as well as previous Levelogger Edge series dataloggers, and LevelVent and AquaVent using their most current firmware versions.

 

Levelogger 5 App Interface

Connection

The Levelogger 5 App Interface connects to the top end of a Levelogger's L5 Direct Read Cable or L5 Optical Adaptor, LevelVent 5 Wellhead, or AquaVent 5 Wellhead Connector Cable.

To connect the Levelogger 5 App Interface, simply hold onto the top end of the Direct Read/Connector Cable/Wellhead, and thread the coupling of the Levelogger 5 App Interface onto the connection. The threaded connection is designed to be stable when installed on a Direct Read Cable or LevelVent Wellhead in a Solinst 2" Well Cap Assembly.

Alternatively, you can use a L5 Threaded or Slip Fit Adaptor, when a Direct Read Cable is not being used. Simply thread or slip the Levelogger into the optical end, and thread the Levelogger App Interface into the other connection.

The Levelogger 5 App Interface operates using four 1.5V AA replaceable lithium batteries (alkaline batteries can also be used).

1. Unscrew the top cap of the Levelogger 5 App Interface to access the battery holder.
