Aqua TROLL 600 Multiparameter Sonde
The Aqua TROLL 600 uses the latest sensor and electronics technology to provide laboratory-quality measurements for field use. Parameters include water level, pH, dissolved oxygen, and more. The instrument fits inside wells as small as 2” in diameter. The water level/pressure sensor and barometric pressure sensor are integrated into the sonde. Additional sensors may be selected and replaced to suit your project’s needs. An optional motorized sensor wiper may also be included on the instrument.
- Smart, Interchangeable Sensors: Up to 4 smart ports; supports optical RDO (DO), pH/ORP, conductivity, temperature, turbidity, and nutrient ISEs (Ammonium, Chloride, Nitrate)
- Rugged & Reliable Design: Titanium restrictor, interlocking sensors, wet-mate connectors, anti-roll bumpers, corrosion-resistant housing for harsh environments
- Advanced Antifouling: Sub-2-inch system for all sensors, including conductivity, to prevent fouling during long deployments
- Easy Data & Connectivity: Bluetooth® wireless connection to VuSitu Mobile App (Android) for site tagging, GPS, auto-calibration, and real-time data viewing
- Onboard Data Management: LCD screen for quick status checks, internal memory, plus backup logging to integrated micro SD card
