AP-5000
Building on the strengths of the AP-2000, the AP-5000 features additional auxiliary sensor ports. Each auxiliary port can accept either one Ion Selective (ISE) or one optical sensor, prividing unique customisation options.
Overview
Standard Parameters:
- pH
- ORP (Redox Potential)
- Optical DO (Dissolved Oxygen)
- EC (specific and absolute electric conductivity)
- Salinity
- Resistivity
- TDS (Total Dissolved Solids)
- SSG (Seawater Specific Gravity)
- Temperature
- Depth
As compared to the AP-2000, the AP-5000 features 4 additional ports: all 4 Aux ports can be fitted with either an optical sensor or an ISE
Package comes complete with Aquaprobe, GPS Aquameter, 3m cable, rugged case and accessories. Various cable lengths are available; 10, 20 and 30m as standard.
Customisation Options:
Customisation of the AP-5000 is very simple. It features 4 ports, and each of them accepts either an Ion Selective (ISE), or an optical sensor.
The auxiliary ports are fitted with blanking plugs, which can be simply unscrewed, and a sensor can be introduced in place.
Using the AP-5000 as a water level logger
The AP-5000 features a depth sensor. This sensor is capable of measurement accuracy of 0.5%FS.
The depth is zeroed automatically whilst the conductivity is reading zero. As soon as the conductivity registers over 0 the probe depth begins to be calculated. Once the probe is lowered to the desired depth it must be secured, then using the GPS Aquameter the depth can be zeroed once again. Now the AP-5000 will detect small changes in the water level and display them as a positive or negative change.
