Apex Gauge
Reservoir Group has the most comprehensive line-up of Piezo Memory Gauges available anywhere.

The gauge is supplied in monitor mode, testing sensor readings every two minutes and automatically starts recording to memory if user-programmed thresholds are exceeded. Data is time-stamped and stored in memory at a programmed sample rate. At the end of the survey, the gauge stops automatically when readings fall below set thresholds.

For easy shipping, the Battery Pack is classed as non-dangerous goods. The Battery Pack is detachable and can be changed by the operator without special tools, so it’s ideal for use in remote locations. The gauge incorporates a removable switch that, when removed, prevents inadvertent recording whilst being stored in warmer conditions where programmed thresholds may be exceeded.
