MIDAS WLR - Water Level Recorder

MIDAS WLR - Water Level Recorder

The Standard Instrument Is Fitted With a 0.01% Accuracy Pressure Sensor and Acetal Housing for up to 500M Depth Rating, With a Deep Water Titanium Housed Option Also Available.

Designed for long or short-term deployments in offshore environments, or locations where a traditional shore-based tide gauge is impractical, the MIDAS WLR can be moored in line or to the seabed.

Description

The MIDAS WLR comes with a choice of pressure sensor ranges to suit the depth requirement of the operator. The sensor is a revolutionary piezoresistive cell with internal temperature compensation, giving the accuracy and resolution levels usually associated with a resonant quartz sensor but with increased durability, stability and recalibration intervals.
