Field studies of the 6600EDS demonstrate that the system provides DO accuracy in aggressive biofouling environments. In one example, the 6600EDS V2 was inspected on the 80th day of an ongoing deployment performance evaluation. The Rapid Pulse™ DO sensor performed within specifications throughout this deployment without the need for recalibration or cleaning.

Now extend deployment intervals by 3 times or more with NEW Anti-Fouling Kits.

Parameters include:

• Conductivity/Temperature
• Dissolved Oxygen
• Salinity
• Specific Conductance
• Depth
• TDS
• Shallow Vented Level
• Turbidity and
• Chlorophyll, Blue-green Algae or Rhodamine

You can rely on the accuracy and reliability of YSI's sensor technology. The performance of the sensors on the 6600EDS has been ETV Verified.*
