X2change™ sensor head specifically for the X2• series
Street Lamp UV
Street light ultraviolet light. Provides effective protection against fouling for all sensors mounted on X2•Series Instrumentation. Rated for 500 m.
Streetlight UV prevents biocontamination during long-term field deployments. Streetlight UV inhibits marine growth by irradiating critical surfaces with ultraviolet (UV) light. Comparative studies have shown that streetlight UV is as effective as leading chemical protection methods such as tributyltin (TBT) in eliminating drift caused by biofouling in CTD and multi-parameter instruments. By eliminating drift caused by biofouling, Streetlight UV allows sensors to reach their full potential during long-term, in-situ deployments. Key benefits: – Environmentally friendly: no chemicals or reactive coatings are used. – No moving parts: Provides greater reliability compared to wipers and plungers. – Non-contact: will not damage sensitive lenses or other fragile objects that need protection. Please note that Streetlight UV is only used as an antifouling solution when installed on an AML-3 or AML-6 instrument. If you’re looking for a standalone solution, ask about AML’s Cabled UV technology.
