The miniTROLL has been deployed for years in all corners of the earth. We continuously improve the miniTROLL in both hardware and software design to give the customer a tool that is the most current, powerful and has the lowest cost of ownership. Many of the features that make miniTROLL reliable are hidden behind the scenes in our extensive Quality Control and manufacturing process. Other items you may be interested in are built-in and designed to give you a tool that is engineered for years of trouble-free and effortless monitoring. These features include:
316L Stainless Steel Body (far more durable than plain 316 stainless)
Non-Volatile memory
Motorola HC11 Processor
Super-Accurate, Real-time Crystal Clock (More Accuracy Means Less Error)
Digitally Compensated, Media Isolated Silicon Strain-gauge Pressure Sensor
Pressure Rating: 2x range / 3x burst
Up to 6years of Data Logging Capability at 15 minute
intervals
FEP(Teflon Equiv.) Cable Option for Harsh Environments
Operating Temperature: -5C to 50C
Our Customers and their clients demand accuracy and precision. The miniTROLL has been extensively tested against competing units in every operating environment known. The result? The miniTROLL is considerably more accurate. Our published specifications are very conservative and reflect our high regard for the integrity of data in all environmental conditions, not just the lab. We stand behind our accuracy by providing a calibration report with EVERY miniTROLL. Some competitors do not include an calibration report. Why? Their accuracy is simply an average of poor accuracy readings (see chart below). They can honestly say their Full Scale specification is good due to the "cancellation" of the negative and positive errors or an average of the pressure readings over temperature.
Pressure Accuracy: 0.05%fs @15°C and 0.1%FS over
entire range
Temperature Accuracy: +/- 0.25C over entire range
Resolution: 16-bit A-D converter: 1mm (0.00531%FS) for
a 30-psi sensor
Automatic Barometric Compensation

In designing the miniTROLL, as well as in our ongoing product support, we incorporate a philosophy of providing features that our customers will use and appreciate. It does not matter whether a product is the shortest, best-looking or most powerful. In the end, the product must perform flawlessly and effortlessly in the harsh environment of the real-world. Our extensive Marketing Research and world-class Research and Development team constantly test new product improvements and options in the real-world, with feedback from real-world users. This effort has enabled In-Situ to provide our customers with a menu of options to suit their needs as well as budget. All of the miniTROLL products share the same proven technology in both body and internal component materials. Our options simply give you the choice of the right tool for the job. The miniTROLL is also field-upgradeable(even downhole!), should the job requirements change. Here are some of the many optional additions to your toolkit.

The Levelogger uses infra-red data transfer. This allows the use of inexpensive stainless steel wireline, rather than more expensive vented electrical cable. This isolates the transducer from electrical interference and makes it easier to conceal the logger from vandals.

Leveloggers have a battery life of 8-10 years, are available in a variety of ranges, in the two models described below.

The fully automatic, easily programmed Levelogger allows measurements at chosen time intervals as small as 0.5 seconds.

ADVANTAGES
Compact:
Only 7/8" (22 mm) diameter
Maintenance-free, water-tight probe
Quick installation and retrieval
Easily transported: lightweight, small sized and no hazardous materials forms required
Infra-Red Data Transfer:
No vented electrical cable required
No damage or errors from electrical interference
Avoids vandalism, as the loggers are fully hidden
Very Easy-to-Use Software:
Easy data export to spreadsheets and databases
Automatic temperature compensation (LT)
Barometric compensation wizard in Windows95
Logarithmic, event based or linear sampling (LT)
The LT Levelogger measures pressure and temperature. It displays temperature compensated level and temperature readings. Sampling may be linear, logarithmic or event-based with a maximum of 2 x 24,000 readings stored. It has a resolution of 1/5000th and an accuracy of 0.1% of the stated range, between -10°C and 40°C.

The L Levelogger is a lower cost logger that measures pressure.
It does not measure temperature therefore it is recommended for situations where only minimal temperature change is anticipated,
(i.e. most groundwater applications). Sampling is linear only, with a resolution of 1/1000th and an accuracy of 0.2% of the stated range.

Software
Leveloggers are programmed using a desktop or field portable computer and the optical reader. The software is very easy to use and is available in DOS or Windows95 versions.

The software can be used with either type of Levelogger and older versions of the Levelogger. There are three spaces for entering site, customer and sampling information.

Leveloggers may be time synchronized to the computer clock, and there are options for a direct start or a future start time. The battery has an estimated life of 8-10 years and the life remaining is indicated on the programming screen.

The measurement time interval can be from 0.05 seconds to 99 hours with linear sampling, or the LT Levelogger also has event based and three logarithmic sampling options.

With the optional Windows95 software and an extra Levelogger as the barometric source, barometric compensation can be simplified using the Barometric Compensation Wizard.

The software allows immediate viewing of the data in graph or chart form, or simple downloading for future examination. It also allows easy export into a spreadsheet or database for further processing.

Levelogger Operation
To program the Levelogger use either a desktop or field portable computer and place the Levelogger into the optical reader attached to the computer. Then fill in the various fields in the program screen and start each logger.

Leveloggers can be pre-programmed and taken to site at a later time. If future start is chosen, the full memory is available for useful measurements. If direct start is chosen the operator can see the loggers working before going to the field.

A manual measurement of the initial depth to water is taken in each well, and noted as a base line measurement. If an extra Levelogger is to be used for barometric pressure measurements, this logger is set above high water level in one of the wells.

When the measurement cycle is over each Levelogger is removed from the well and downloaded by placing it in the optical reader to read the memory. This can be done back to the office or at site with a portable computer if the logger is to be reset and returned to the well.

The data can be viewed immediately in chart or graph form, and downloaded to spreadsheets or databases.

APPLICATIONS
Wells, boreholes, standpipes
Pumping and slug tests
Watershed, drainage basin and recharge areas
Stream gauging, lake levels and reservoirs
Harbour and tidal fluctuation monitoring
Tanks, stormwater runoff monitoring
Long term water level monitoring
All intensive monitoring of groundwater levels

Two ways to program: The HERMIT is completely loaded with software, an easy-to-use keypad, and a big LCD screen for stand-alone programming in the field--even with gloves on. Or, if a PC is handy, you can connect the HERMIT to the PC with its communication cable accessory and launch Win-Situ™ software for even easier data collection schedule programming and probe definition.

Family Pedigree: The HERMIT family has a long and distinguished history, beginning with the first data loggers In-Situ designed and manufactured to meet the demands of hydrologic testing.

Nice Extras: There's an internal barometric pressure sensor that continuously monitors atmospheric pressure during data collection. Networking is easy because the instrument has both RS232 and RS422 communication capabilities. A relay port can be used to turn on alarms or pumps in response to a preset data value. Automatic shutdown after 2 minutes with no keyboard action conserves battery power. There's even a backlight for viewing the LCD in low light conditions. Two-year warranty.
