The premium, highly accurate dipperLog TOUGH with titanium body and transducer is suitable for use by environmental technicians and other groundwater professionals in the most caustic and hazardous of environments. The dipperLog TOUGH is a reliable, cost effective solution for long and short term monitoring of groundwater levels and temperature in wells where contamination is a concern.
All Heron loggers are available in various deployment options:
1) Suspended Version – pull the dipperLog out of the well to download
2) Direct Read Version – enables you to do real time readings and download your data while the dipperLog is still in the well.
3) Reel Version – a portable solution, ideal for short term slug and pump testing
Memory – 64,000 data sets (depth and temperature of water)
Download Speed – 64,000 data sets in 180 seconds
Battery – up to 10 years (depending on usage)
Calibration Certificate with each logger
Machined, Titanium body and transducer
Able to convert deployment options easily in the field
The dedicated, intuitive software makes the dipperLog quick and easy to program and launch. Simply recover your data, save your findings in a tabular display and graph, view both parameters side by side in a split screen.
The Heron Instruments’ dipperLog TOUGH paired with the dipperLog-SMART Wireless Monitoring System will provide instant, remote access to accurate, detailed real-time data information through an easy to use App if the system is configured to send information to the Cloud. The system is fully scalable and can accommodate 300+ sensors.
The Heron Instruments barLog, barometric logger is used to automatically compensate readings stored on the dipperLog for changes in barometric pressure. The barLog, with readings every 1 hour and a memory capacity of 32,000 data points, is recommended for long term monitoring or where more than one logger is deployed withing in a 5 km radius.
“It is the User’s responsibility to ensure chemical, temperature, radiative, and shock compatibility with their site(s) before, during and after deployments. Not doing so will void any and all warranties”

Note:
In “Log Time” mode the dipperLog increases the readings from 1 second by an additional 1 second for 255 readings. The final reading interval is 4 min. and 14 sec. and the logger then stops logging. This mode logs for a total of 9 hours before stopping.
Barometric Compensation
The first reading can be used for all readings unless a barLog is used. Automatic compensation when using a designated barLog. Manual compensation in Excel.
Pressure Range is determined by the maximum height of water above the transducer.
Please indicate pressure range below.

Accessories and Options:
PC Communication Cable – PN# 5009
Software – PN# 5008
This cable is necessary to establish a connection between the software and the dipperLog. It connects via the USB port in your laptop or other field device, enabling you to program, launch and download data with ease. This cable can be connected either directly to the dipperLog, to the well head or to the face of the reel.
barLog – PN# 5116
A barometric logger is used to automatically compensate readings stored on the dipperLog for changes in barometric pressure (for absolute version). The barLog is recommended for long term monitoring or where more than one logger is deployed within a 5 km radius.
tapNtell Surface Mount Display – PN# 5020
The tapNtell is a surface mount weather resistant display accessory for the dipperLog well head readout version. The conical connector end of the tapNtell is attached to the direct read well head and the surface mount display unit can be attached to the side of the casing, fence or pump house (any solid surface). The tapNtell provides an instant real time reading of water level and temperature with a tap of a finger.
showNtell Hand Held Display – PN# 5018
The showNtell is a portable hand held display unit for the dipperLog well head readout version. The showNtell can be carried from well to well, to give an instant real time reading of water level and temperature by simply plugging into the direct read well head. The showNtell does not download or store the data from the logger.
SDI-12 Interface Cable – PN# 5021
The SDI-12 system enables the dipperLog data to be accessed from remote locations by a central computer base without site visits. The sensors can be interchanged without reprogramming the data recorder with calibration or other information. The power is supplied to the sensors through a third party device that enables telemetric data readings.
