YSI EXO3 is a multi-parameter Sonde, that can be used to measure a multitude of parameters (RDO, pH/ORP, temperature, salinity, turbidity etc.) in remote monitoring of environmental research, aquaculture, drinking water etc.
Together with the Consibio Logger, you can all the parameters in real-time to provide valuable insights for:
- Holistic Water Quality Assessment: Simultaneously measures key parameters such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and conductivity, providing a comprehensive understanding of water quality dynamics.
- Ecosystem Health Monitoring: Facilitates the assessment of aquatic ecosystem health by monitoring parameters critical for biodiversity, nutrient cycling, and overall ecosystem functioning.
- Pollution Detection and Remediation: Enables the detection of pollution sources and the evaluation of remediation efforts by monitoring indicators of contamination such as nutrient levels, organic matter, and turbidity.
Wiring of Sensor and Logger
Items needed
Connecting a YSI EXO3 sensor via. SDI-12
To integrate the YSI EXO3 sensor with the Consibio Logger via SDI-12, utilize the SDI-12 Expansion Board and follow these connections:
- Black wire to GND
- Drain wire / Shield / Bare Wire to GND
- Red wire to 12V
- Orange wire to Signal
This configuration leverages the Logger's compatibility with the Serial Digital Interface at 1200 baud (SDI-12) Protocol and the versatility of its SDI-12 Expansion Board, enabling seamless integration with industry-standard communication protocols for efficient data acquisition and monitoring.
