Overview


Sometimes multiparameter monitoring is not required, this is where the AP-LITE comes in. This pocket sized Aquaprobe is designed to measure a single parameter, it consists of a small body with an optical electrode socket. This socket is able to house any of our optical electrodes, including turbidity and chlorophyll.

Readings can logged with standard data loggers or transmitted in real-time using Neon web-based, telemetry data loggers. Readings can also be displayed on the GPS Aquameter.

As an option, the AP-Lite can be supplied with additional SDI-12 and Modbus (RS-485) outputs to allow direct connection to a wide range of data logging and telemetry equipment. This option facilitates direct replacement of existing probes made by other manufacturers.
