Aquaread - Model AP-LITE -Digital Water Quality Meter
Whether you require a turbidity meter or handheld device for the measurement of Blue Green Algae in reservoirs, the AP-LITE is the portable water quality meter for you. Sometimes multi-parameter measurement is not required, however the flexibility to change sensors is. Our AP-LITE solves this with its single parameter, removable sensor design. Simply remove your current sensor, install the new sensor and calibrate, you are then ready to take measurements.
This socket can house any of our 8 optical electrodes, which simply screw in and out.
Giving you a dedicated Turbidity sensor one day, and a standalone chlorophyll sensor the next!
Optical electrode options:
- Turbidity
- Chlorophyll a
- Blue Green Algae (fresh or salt water options available)
- Rhodamine
- Fluoresceine
- CDOM/FDOM
- Refined Oil
Rugged Connection
All Aquaprobes feature the new AquaConn fully metal connectors. The AP-LITE features the all-metal AquaConn connectors. These high specification connectors feature large metallic key for a rigid fit, recessed pins for extra protection during pairing, guide markers on each part of the connector to allow you to instantly push the pair together in the correct alignment.
Continuous Turbidity Monitoring
The AP-LITE can be used with our sapphire turbidity sensor for continuous monitoring. Because you do not have to manually take samples, as with other portable turbidity readers, the AP-LITE can be deployed for continuous monitoring. Using our BlackBox you cn even hook this up to existing networks or to a telemetry device.
