  • Overview

    The EXO advanced water quality monitoring platform includes the versatile multiparameter EXO2 sonde for oceanographic, estuarine, or surface water applications.

    Key Benefits
    • High-accuracy sensors with on-board memory
    • Wireless communications
    • Seamless integration into marine, estuarine, freshwater and ground water monitoring systems

    Smart Sondes and Sensors
    Extremely versatile instrument, allowing the user to automatically configure a sonde with different sensor for different applications in minutes

    Accuracy
    Tested in a variety of rigorous field conditions as well as lab conditions to ensure accuracy and response times

    Monitor without Interruption
    No matter which EXO sensors users select, other features of the sensors' design make them rugged and durable:

    • Wet-mateable connectors resist corrosion
    • Isolated components prevent short circuits
    • Welded housings and double o-rings prevent leaks
    • High-impact plastic and titanium resists breaking
    • Built-in antifouling systems protect data integrity
    • Low power consumption extends underwater deployments

    If you're interested in our sonde with 4-ports for fewer water quality monitoring capabilities, visit our EXO1 sonde or, if you're interested in our sonde with 5-ports, visit the EXO3 sonde.

    **Specifications indicate typical performance and are subject to change. All sensors have a depth rating to 250 m (820 ft), except shallow and medium depth sensors, ammonium, chloride, and nitrate. Accuracy specification is attained immediately following calibration under controlled and stable environmental conditions. Performance in the natural environment may vary from quoted specification.

    EXO sensors are not compatible with YSI 6-Series sondes, sensors, or handheld.

    1Outputs of specific conductance (conductivity corrected to 25˚C) and total dissolved solids are also provided. See Calculated Parameters and footnote 11.

    9 Calibration: 1-, 2-, or 3-point, user-selectable
    10 Performance based on 3-point calibration done with YSI AMCO-AEPA standards of 0, 124, and 1010 FNU. The same type of standard must be used for all calibration points.
    11 Values are automatically calculated from conductivity according to algorithms found in Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater (Ed. 1989).
