    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.

Optical D.O. sensors... What’s the buzz all about?
  • New way of thinking about DO measurement
  • Greatly improved Accuracy, Precision, and Repeatability
  • Solid-state Construction
  • No stirring required
  • No anode or cathodes to clean (note: sensor face needs to be kept free of debris)
  • Relies on Dynamic Fluorescence Quenching (Lifetime-based measurement)
  • NOT based on electrochemical reactions
  • Eliminate problems inherent to older DO sensor technologies
  • Measures accurately down to 0mg/L

    Advantages of Optical D.O.

     
  • No membranes / No electrolyte
  • 5 years / 5 Million readings before lumiphore is exhausted
  • Up to 1 year between calibrations
  • Minimal maintenance / no hazardous cleaning solutions
  • No flow requirements
  • Fast and stable response
  • Low drift
  • Excellent performance in anoxic conditions (0ppm)
  • Not ‘poisoned’ by Sulfides
  • Not subject to ‘thermal shocking’
  • No cross sensitivity to: H2S, pH, CO2, NH3, SO42-, Cl-, Cl2, ClO2, MeOH, EtOH, various ionic species
