Description
The AP-LITE is commonly used with our sapphire lensed turbidity sensor, chlorophyll sensor or blue-green algae sensors. Whilst the package includes an Aquameter the AP-LITE can also be used with one of our AquaLoggers for unmanned turbidity, chlorophyll or blue-green algae monitoring.
The AP-LITE Socket
This socket can house any of our 8 optical electrodes, which simply screw in and out. Allowing you to change the electrodes whilst onsite to take multi-parameters readings using a single instrument.
