In-Field Communication

A DataGrabber 5 can be used to transfer data from a Rainlogger 5 to a USB flash drive key. A Levelogger 5 App Interface creates a Bluetooth® connection between the Rainlogger 5 and your smart device running the Solinst Levelogger App, for programming, and e-mailing data.

 

Standard Deployment

The Rainlogger 5 comes with a Connector Cable, 2 m (6.5 ft.) in length. The Connector Cable has two wires, which are connected to the tipping-bucket cable. For most tipping-bucket models, the wires can be connected to either terminal. Refer to the manufacturer's operating instructions.
