AquaVent 5 Quick Start Guide
In-Field Communication
There are two SP Wellhead Cable options for communicating with AquaVent 5 loggers in the field.
• The USB Connector Cable allows you to connect to a field laptop for communication using Levelogger
Software (see image on Page 1).
• The App/DataGrabber Connector Cable allows you to connect to a Levelogger 5 App Interface for
communication using the Solinst Levelogger App, or to a DataGrabber 5 for downloading data to a
USB device.

LED: Wellhead Connection Status
The AquaVent Wellheads have a multicolour LED light which
indicates the status and operation of the AquaVent:
• Fast multicolour cycle 3 times: Wellhead is powering-on
• Fast 10 cycles alternating blue/green: Wellhead has successfully
connected to the PC using the USB Connector Cable
• Fast 10 cycles alternating blue/red: USB connection has been
dropped
• Flashing yellow: The Wellhead is communicating with the PC Software
Maintenance
As with any monitoring project, you should select the proper equipment and determine a maintenance
schedule based on the environment specific to your application.
To ensure the vent tube remains dry, the AquaVent 5 loggers and Wellheads contain permanent
desiccants and hydrophobic membranes at the connections to the Vented Cable—there is no need
to replace them. Please see our technical bulletin on
Vented Cable Design, Use, and Maintenance
for more details.
Other maintenance tips include (see the Vented Dataloggers User Guide for more details):
• Replace the o-rings at the Vented Cable connections on the AquaVent 5 logger and the Wellhead.
• Keep the dust caps on all of the connections, when not in use.
• Store the AquaVent 5 logger in its case, and the Vented Cable on its spool when not in use.
• Ensure connections are clean before assembling. Clean the AquaVent 5 logger as required.
• Replace the Wellhead batteries as required (four user-replaceable 1.5V AA lithium batteries).
