EXO1 Sonde
Overview
e EXO1 sonde is a multiparameter instrument that collects water quality data. e sonde collects the
data with up to four user-replaceable sensors and an integral pressure transducer. Each sensor measures its
parameter via a variety of electrochemical, optical, or physical detection methods. Each port accepts any EXO
sensor and automatically recognizes its type. Depending on user-dened settings, the EXO1 will collect data
and store it onboard the sonde, transfer the data to a data collection platform (DCP), or relay it directly to
a user’s PC or EXO Handheld.
Users communicate with the sonde via a eld cable to an
EXO Handheld, Bluetooth® wireless connection to a PC or
EXO Handheld, or a USB connection (via communications
adapter) to a PC.

EXO2 Sonde
Overview
e EXO2 sonde is a multiparameter instrument that collects water quality data. e sonde collects the
data with up to six user-replaceable sensors and an integral pressure transducer. Each sensor measures its
parameter via a variety of electrochemical, optical, or physical detection methods. Each port accepts any EXO
sensor and automatically recognizes the type of sensor. Depending on user-dened settings, the EXO2 will
collect data and store it onboard the sonde, transfer the data to a data collection platform (DCP), or relay it
to a user’s PC or EXO Handheld via cable, USB connection, or Bluetooth connection.
In addition to six standard sensor ports, the EXO2 also has a bulkhead port for a central wiper (or an
additional sensor) and an auxiliary port on top of the sonde. is auxiliary port will allow the user to connect
the EXO2 to other EXO sondes.
Users communicate with the sonde via a eld cable to an
EXO Handheld, Bluetooth® wireless connection to a PC or
EXO Handheld, or a USB connection (via communications
adapter) to a PC.

EXO Handheld
Overview
e EXO Handheld (HH) is a rugged, microcomputer-based instrument that allows the user to display sonde
readings, congure sondes, store and retrieve data, and transfer data from sondes to a computer. Equipped with
GPS, barometer, and custom operating system, the Handheld communicates via Bluetooth wireless technology,
eld cable, or USB connector. e unit utilizes an adjustable backlit screen for easy day or night viewing. Pre-
installed KOR soware facilitates all user interaction and provides powerful control over data collection.
