TROLL 9500 Versions: |
- LTS stands for “Level,
Temperature, and one additional Sensor” such as conductivity, pH, or
dissolved oxygen.
This version also includes internal data logging. It can be used for
coastal applications or to measure ground water quality over time.
- Profiler; Ideal for water
quality sampling or profiling. The Profiler allows for any of the key
water parameters such as pH, ORP, D.O., conductivity/salinity,
temperature, depth. Memory is not included, but data can be logged to a
RuggedReader or a PC.
- The Profiler XP offers the
same features as the ‘Profiler’ unit, but with the option to use XP or
“Extended
Parameter” sensors, such as turbidity, ammonium, nitrate, and chloride.
- Professional; This version
offers the highest value for most applications allowing for all the key
parameters similar to the ‘Profiler’ PLUS internal data logging for
recording trends over time.
- Professional XP; The most
capable TROLL 9500 that
offers the same features as the ‘Professional’ unit, but with the option
to use XP or “Extended Parameter” sensors, such as turbidity, ammonium,
nitrate, and chloride.

RDO (Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor) |
|
  |
|
Introducing the Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor
called Rugged D.O. or "RDO" exclusively for the TROLL 9500. The new
RDO
sensor utilizes recent advances in lifetime-based optical fluorescence
sensor technology to provide an extremely stable, precise and low
maintenance dissolved oxygen sensor. This technology stands to revolutionize
the current methods of water quality monitoring by eliminating the need for
membranes, stirring, and cleaning while allowing deployment for many months
without need for re-calibration.
