The Data Logger Dipper- PTEC is a Level Pressure probe that measures level based on relative pressure. It measures not only Level but also has a combined Temperature and EC (Electric Conductivity) measurement.
This makes this probe a great solution for e.g. salinity measurements combined with level measurements. One of the applications for this sensor is salt water intrusion measurement in groundwater or surface water.
