Plus-X - New Standard In Multiparameter

Like all other X-Series instruments, the Plus-X uses XchangeTM field-swappable sensors, now available for Conductivity, Sound Velocity, Temperature, and Pressure. This means that sensor-heads can be shared with other instruments, regardless of instrument size or type. Total flexibility – of instrument model, of sensor type, and of sensor range – ensure that the right instrument is always available.

Field-swappable sensors also streamline recalibration: instead of sending the entire instrument back to a recalibration centre, calibrated sensor-heads can be sent to the instrument. Changing sensors is easy: simply unscrew one sensor-head and replace it with another.

The Plus-X offers high-speed 25Hz sampling, ensuring excellent data resolution. The Plus-X also includes a deployment shackle and sensor cage, and can be ordered with up to 10 analog or 5 digital channels, for use with 3rd party sensors.

• Greater return on investment: Each instrument can multi-task as CTD or SVTP, at multiple pressure ranges, assuring greater usage.
• Right instrument always ready: Calibrated sensors are shared amongst all X-Series instruments, ensuring that the right instrument is always field-ready.
• Reduced downtime: Recalibrated sensors sent to the instrument means the instrument never leaves the field for recalibration.
• Reduction in transport and logistics costs: Instruments can be recalibrated without return to a calibration centre.
• Greater system redundancy: Mobility of sensor-heads and modularity of instruments minimizes the risk of downtime on the vessel.
• Streamlined management: Less time spent administering instrument recalibration and certification requirements.

• Each Xchange sensor-head includes its own embedded calibration
• Sensors exchange easily without use of speciality tools
• Swap any sensor with another sensor of its own kind, regardless of range
• Exchange conductivity with sound velocity, regardless of range
• Exchange pressure with temperature, regardless of range
