TrackerSonde

The TrackerSonde (ART-MPS1) is ART's integrated multiparameter sonde, measuring up to six probes simultaneously in a single, self-cleaning unit built for long-term deployment. Choose from twelve parameters: pH, dissolved oxygen (concentration and % saturation), ORP, turbidity, conductivity, salinity, chlorophyll, phycocyanin (blue-green algae), oil in water, depth and temperature, which is always included.
Setup is plug and play. Each digital probe is recognized automatically on connection and stores its own factory calibration, so probes can be hot-swapped on site without system-wide downtime.
A central rotating wiper brushes every measurement surface before each reading, reducing errors from biofouling and bubbles and extending time between visits. The titanium, POM and anti-fouling copper construction resists corrosion and fouling, a perforated sleeve protects the probes while allowing high flow-through, and the IP68 housing is rated to 30 m, with a Deep Water model available for up to 200 m.
The TrackerSonde connects to any AquaRealTime buoy or the TrackerNode with the provided cable (10 m by default). Data from every probe is collected every 30 minutes by default and streamed to the AquaRealTime Dashboard every 2 hours, with the same maps, charts, alerts and REST API access used across all ART deployments. Low power draw makes it well suited to solar-powered sites.
All sonde sensors can also be connected to the ART-HH1 handheld meter for spot checks and sensor calibration, and custom cable lengths are available for deeper profiling.
Typical applications include drinking water, wastewater and groundwater monitoring, harmful algal bloom detection in lakes, rivers and reservoirs, estuaries and coastlines, and aquaculture.
