Onboard Signal Processing and Memory
All EXO sensors are digital sensors with on-board signal processing and memory. Built-in sensor diagnostic and calibration data allow users to calibrate multiple sensors in one sonde and distribute to various other sondes in the field. Wet-mateable connectors allow for swaps in wet conditions, while active port monitoring automatically detects each sensor and verifies operation.

Questions & Answers
Can the sonde be used in both fresh and salt water applications?
Yes, the sonde is rated for salt water applications with the exception of the ammonium, nitrate, and chloride sensors that are freshwater only.
How often do the sensors need calibrated?
This is highly dependent on the deployment location, but re-calibration intervals typical range from 2 to 8 weeks.
Are the EXO Series sondes compatible with 6-Series sensors?
No, only EXO sensors can be used with EXO sondes.
Can EXO1/2 sondes communicate via SDI-12?
EXO1 and EXO2 sondes support SDI-12 communication through the use of the DCP adapter. EXO3 sondes have built-in SDI-12 support, so the DCP adapter is not necessary with EXO3.
If I have multiple field sites and want to add turbidity sensors, do I have recalibrate all of my EXO sondes?
No, each sensor has it's own internal memory for storing calibration. All of your turbidity sensors can be calibrated with a single EXO sonde and then transferred to the field sites.
How is my EXO1 powered?
The EXO1 is powered with (2) D-cell batteries.
I'm worried about corrosion during a long-term deployment, what can I do?
A zinc anode kit (part number #599595) can be purchased to minimize corrosion. This anode kit is composed of zinc making it more susceptible to corrosion (oxidation) than the rest of the sonde. This kit is installed in an empty sensor port and prevents the rest of the sonde from corroding.
If I am using all of my sensor ports, can I still prevent corrosion?
Another way to prevent corrosion is to install an anode guard and guard weight (part number # 599563 and #599520) This guard and guard weight is composed of zinc and will protect the sonde from corrosion during a long-term deployment.
Can this sonde be powered by the EXO Handheld Display?
Yes, the EXO Handheld Display can power any of the EXO sondes for up to 20 hours on a single charge.

Monitoring Water Pollution in Keweenaw Bay

As much as climate change and pollution impact current generations and present environmental conditions, the compounding damages will continue to wreak havoc against generations to come if no actions are taken. This idea is central for scientists who focus their research on monitoring, analyzing and responding to environmental data. Researchers like Dylan Friisvall, the water quality technician for the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community (KBIC) Natural Resources Department (NRD) , have dedicated their careers to monitoring pollution and water quality in order to protect resources for the future. “One of the best parts of my job is just being outdoors, it makes my day go by faster because I get to enjoy the fresh air, and help do my part in protecting the environment,” says Friisvall.

USGS Monitoring Groundwater for Hormones and Pharmaceuticals

Even at low doses, emerging contaminants can pose health risks for humans, including disruption of the endocrine system. These emerging contaminants include hormones, personal care products, perfluorinated compounds and volatile organics, and pharmaceuticals. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientist Laura Bexfield presented her work on hormones and pharmaceuticals in groundwater at the 2018 Society for Risk Analysis (SRA) Annual Meeting, and more recently corresponded with EM to discuss the research. “This is the first large-scale, systematic study of the occurrence of hormones and pharmaceuticals in aquifer systems that provide drinking-water supply for an estimated 80 million people across the US,” explains Ms. Bexfield.

Drones Go Where Other Tools Can’t When Monitoring Nearshore Water Quality

As booming populations in coastal cities heighten development pressure on nearshore environments, scientists are grappling with the problem of studying water quality in habitats that can be hostile to standard monitoring methods. Where in-situ sensors and research vessels might struggle in these shallow and complex environments, scientists at a Washington-based Marine consulting firm say sensor-toting aerial drones are emerging as promising tools for the job. Researchers at Gravity Consulting are pairing widely available drones with relatively inexpensive multispectral sensors sourced from the agricultural industry.
