Hydrolab DS5X - Multiparameter Data Sonde
Water Quality Sonde for Maximum Deployment Times
The Hydrolab DS5X multiparameter water quality sonde offers maximum capability and flexibility with the choice of any of Hydrolab's 17 superior sensors with a central brush for long-term unattended monitoring.
- Attended, Unattended
- Temperature, Conductivity, Depth, pH, Oxygen Reduction Potential (ORP), Dissolved Oxygen (LDO), Dissolved Oxygen (Clark Cell), Turbidity, Chlorophyll a, Blue-Green Algae, Rhodamine WT, Ammonium, Nitrate, Chloride, Total Dissolved Gas (TDG), Ambient Light
- The Hydrolab sonde with the most available sensors and a central cleaning system to minimize fouling
- SDI-12, RS-485, RS-232, TTY
- Seven universal sensor ports that allow custom configuration
- Measures up to 16 parameters simultaneously (Some sensors provide multiple parameters) Capable of measurements using any of Hydrolab’s 17 sensors
- Optimized for long-term, unattended deployments
- Central cleaning system wipes away fouling from DO, pH, ISE's, Chlorophyll, Blue-Green Algae, Rhodamine, and Turbidity sensors
- Ideal for 'X-tended' deployments in environments where fouling and sediment are abundant
- Improves long-term value by reducing the frequency of sensor maintenance
- A single central motor cleans the entire suite of sensors, thereby minimizing power consumption
- Brush design features robust fibers that won't separate over time
