Appendix E - Ordering Information 

 
Table E.1 lists the part numbers, and some accessories such as the Stevens Dot Logger. The RS-
485 Hydra Probe has a cable length limit of 1000 meters. The SDI-12 version has a limit of 50 
meters, and the analog versions have a maximum cable length of 33 meters. It is difficult to go 
beyond the maximum recommended cable length because capacitance effects of the cable absorb 
the signal. The Analog, RS-485 and the SDI-12 versions are designed to be permanently (or semi 
permanently) buried in soil and the portable version allows the user to collect the same quality of 
data with hand held devices.
