Either 18 x water quality sondes with 2 sets of sensors capable of storing calibration data on the sensor rather than the sonde;
Or 32 sondes / sensor sets (where calibration data is stored on sonde) in order to provide uninterrupted year round monitoring of 15 out-stations. (15*2 + 2 spare)
Sensors to include:
Conductivity/Temperature
pH
Ammonium
Turbidity
Optical DO
fDOM
Additional requirements include:
Automated ‘wipe’ facility
AUX port for future expansion
10 metre Flying Lead Cable — Connects sonde to DCP Signal Output Adapter
Signal Output Adapter — DCP — Wires into the end of field cable via flying leads — Converts signal to RS-232
SDI-12 for datalogger applications
Signal Output Adapter — USB — Allows connections between sonde & PC.
