The EXO 1 is a muliparameter instrument that collects data with up to four user-replaceable sensors and an integral pressure transducer for depth.

Key Benefits

  • High-accuracy sensors with on-board memory
  • Wireless communications
  • Fast response times for profiling and sampling
  • Seamless integration into marine, estuarine, freshwater and ground water monitoring systems

Smart Sondes and Sensors

Extremely versatile instrument, allowing the user to automatically configure a sonde with different sensor for different applications in minutes

Smart Ports: Each sensor port on the sonde accepts any EXO water quality sensor and automatically recognizes it. Sensors are user-replaceable and made from rugged titanium housing.

Sensor Options:

  • Conductivity and Temperature
  • Dissolved Oxygen (optical)
  • fDOM (Fluorescent Dissolved Organic Matter, surrogate for CDOM)
  • pH or pH / ORPDepth (integral)
  • Total Algae (Dual-channel Chlorophyll and Blue-green Algae)
  • Turbidity

Accuracy

Tested in a variety of rigorous field conditions as well as lab conditions to ensure accuracy and response times

Sample without Interruption

No matter which EXO sensors users select, other features of the sensors' design make them rugged and durable:

  • Wet-mateable connectors resist corrosion
  • Isolated components prevent short circuits
  • Welded housings and double o-rings prevent leaks
  • High-impact plastic and titanium resists breaking
  • Built-in antifouling systems protect data integrity
  • Low power consumption extends underwater deployments

**Specifications indicate typical performance and are subject to change. All sensors have a depth rating to 250 m (820 ft), except shallow and medium depth sensors, ammonium, chloride, and nitrate. Accuracy specification is attained immediately following calibration under controlled and stable environmental conditions. Performance in the natural environment may vary from quoted specification.

9 Calibration: 1-, 2-, or 3-point, user-selectable
10 Performance based on 3-point calibration done with YSI AMCO-AEPA standards of 0, 124, and 1010 FNU. The same type of standard must be used for all calibration points.
11 Values are automatically calculated from conductivity according to algorithms found in Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater (Ed. 1989).
