Accurate, real-time water quality monitoring

In-Situ Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring

Accurate, real-time water quality monitoring is critical for environmental management, agriculture, and industrial applications. The In-Situ AT500 + VuLink solution offers a comprehensive, remote monitoring setup for tracking water quality parameters. This integrated system combines the Aqua TROLL 500 multiparameter sonde, the VuLink telemetry device, and the VuSitu mobile app to provide seamless data collection, analysis, and reporting, all accessible from virtually anywhere.

Aqua TROLL 500 

The Aqua TROLL 500 is a versatile water quality sonde capable of measuring up to 14 key parameters simultaneously. Designed for long-term deployments in freshwater and marine environments, the AT500 is built for durability and accuracy. It features a modular design for easy calibration, a wiper system to reduce fouling, and Bluetooth connectivity for simple setup and live readings. Ideal for environmental monitoring, industrial pollution control, and stormwater management, the AT500 delivers laboratory-grade data in challenging field conditions.

  • Measured Parameters: Hydrostatic level, Dissolved oxygen (RDO®), Temperature, Conductivity, pH/ORP, Particulate matter, Chlorophyll a, Phycocyanin (BGA-PC), Phycoerythrin (BGA-PE), FDOM, Crude oil, Rhodamine WT, Fluorescein WT, Ammonium (ISE), Chloride (ISE), Nitrate (ISE).
  • Material: Corrosion-resistant components with IP68 rating.
  • Communication: Bluetooth, Modbus over RS-485.
  • Operating Temperature: -5°C to 50°C.
  • Power Supply: 8-36 VDC external or VuLink-powered.

VuLink

The VuLink telemetry device enables real-time, remote monitoring by transmitting data from the Aqua TROLL 500 multiparameter sonde to the HydroVu cloud platform or other compatible systems. Designed for remote deployments with minimal maintenance, VuLink offers global cellular connectivity via LTE-M/NB-IoT, ensuring reliable data transmission even in challenging locations. It supports multiple instruments, provides GPS tracking for precise location data, robust data encryption for secure transmission, and customizable alarms for efficient data management. The device comes equipped with a low-profile, IP67-rated Taoglas GSA.8835 antenna, optimized for all cellular bands (5G/4G/3G/2G) to ensure strong and consistent connectivity in remote environments.
