Hydrolab DataSonde

Hydrolab DataSonde

Overview

MiniSonde-HydroLab-Trio-Vert-011706-(2)

For maximum capability and flexibility, the Hydrolab DataSonde DS5 can measure up to 16 parameters simultaneously using any of Hydrolab’s 17 superior sensors. The DS5 multiprobe is designed for either profiling or unattended monitoring, and is the only multiprobe capable of simultaneous measurements with up to three optical probes (i.e., Turbidity, Chlorophyll a, and Blue-Green Algae)

The DS5X Model also incorporates Hydrolab’s self-contained, automatic cleaning system. This allows maximum deployment life and minimal maintenance, perfect for offshore and dredging projects.

Applications

  • Unattended monitoring of waterways & canals.
  • Open water profiling of lakes and marine environments.
  • Can be used in conjunction with remote solar powered telemetric system.

Features & Benefits

Hydrolab DS5

  • Features Hydrolab’s superior sensor technology – the most complete line of sensors available on a multiprobe.
  • Seven built-in expansion ports configured to fit your specific needs.
  • Measures up to 16 parameters simultaneously.
  • Capable of measurements using any of Hydrolab’s 17 sensors.
  • Used for attended or unattended monitoring.
  • Engineered for dependable performance and durability in the field.
  • Flexible design for use in either profiling or long-term deployments.
  • The only multiprobe capable of simultaneous measurements with up to three optical probes (e.g LDO, Turbidity, Chlorophyll a, Cyanobacteria, Rhodamine WT, Ambient Light and Blue-Green Algae).

Hydrolab DS5X

  • Measures up to 15 parameters simultaneously.
  • 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.
