What's New?
TROLL® 9500 Versions
LTS
LTS stands for “Level, Temperature, and one additional Sensor” such as conductivity, pH, or dissolved oxygen. This version also includes internal data logging. It can be used for coastal applications or to measure ground water quality over time.
Profiler Ideal for water quality sampling or profiling. The Profiler allows for any of the key water parameters such as pH, ORP, D.O., conductivity/salinity, temperature, depth. Memory is not included, but data can be logged to a RuggedReader® or a PC.
Profiler XP
The Profiler XP offers the same features as the ‘Profiler’ unit, but with the option to use XP or “Extended Parameter” sensors, such as turbidity, ammonium, nitrate, and chloride.
Professional
This version offers the highest value for most applications allowing for all the key parameters similar to the ‘Profiler’ PLUS internal data logging for recording trends over time.
Professional XP
The most capable TROLL® 9500 that offers the same features as the ‘Professional’ unit, but with the option to use XP or “Extended Parameter” sensors, such as turbidity, ammonium, nitrate, and chloride.

Dissolved Oxygen
Clark Electrode Clark D.O. electrodes are a time tested,
reliable way to measure
dissolved oxygen. Easy-to-use
replaceable membrane caps.
Membrane and cleaning kits are a
must to maintain quality
measurements.
Conductivity • Salinity TDS • Resistivity
Conductivity is key to any water quality program. Salinity, TDS, and resistivity are derived from this sensor. Low and high-range sensors are available to measure up to 200mS.
|
|
 |
 pH • pH/ORP
The new In-Situ pH and pH/ORP sensors are single-junction, combination electrodes that are refillable and feature a field replaceable reference junction.
Barometric Pressure
Barometric pressure is required to calculate percent saturation values for D.O.
Also useful to understand effects of barometric pressure on the water system.
