Aqua TROLL 500 Multiparameter Sonde

The Aqua TROLL 500 is a fully customizable multiparameter sonde with interchangeable sensors and a smartphone interface that delivers accurate data and enables simplified calibration, panoramic data view and report creation. Ideal for spot-checking and profiling applications when used with a Wireless TROLL Com or long-term monitoring with VuLink.

The Aqua TROLL 500 offers the flexibility, reliability and ruggedness you need for spot checking, low-flow sampling, remote monitoring, and long-term water or stormwater monitoring. Corrosion-resistant titainum construction stands up to harsh environments, and a convenient LCD readout of sensor health and connectivity gives you confidence in your deployment.

The customizable Aqua TROLL 500 sonde comes with sensors that include:

• RDO® Optical Dissolved Oxygen
• Actual and specific conductivity
• pH/ORP
• Salinity
• Total dissolved solids (TDS).
• Resistivity
• Density
• Turbidity
• Temperature and pressure
• Ion Selective Electrodes
• Fluorometers

Connect the Aqua TROLL 500 to a Wireless TROLL Com and use it as a handheld, or connect the sonde to control systems or telemetry for remote monitoring.

BE SMART with Aqua TROLL 500
