TrackerSonde:
Self-Cleaning Multiparameter Water Quality Sonde
The TrackerSonde (ART-MPS1) measures up to seven water quality parameters at once: six digital probes plus built-in temperature, in a single, robust, self-cleaning unit. Each probe stores its own calibration, so probes can be swapped in the field. Connect it to an AlgaeTracker or Sentinel buoy, or a TrackerNode on shore or indoors, for real-time data on the AquaRealTime dashboard, or to the ART-HH1 handheld meter for spot checks.
Key features
Plug and play, hot-swappable:
each probe is recognized automatically and stores its own calibration, so it can move between sondes
Flexible connection:
an AlgaeTracker, Sentinel or TrackerNode for live data, or the ART-HH1 for spot checks
pH
plus built-in temperature
Deep deployment:
to 30 m, or 200 m with the deep water version
Central cleaning brush
​wipes all sensors before every reading, reducing errors from fouling and bubbles
Protective cage:
a perforated sleeve lets water flow through while shielding the probes
Calibration
Every probe is factory-calibrated and stores its calibration data internally. Recalibrate probes one at a time with the ART-HH1 handheld meter, which also reads sensors directly in the field, with no connection needed.
