Accuracy
EXO sondes and sensors are tested in a variety of rigorous field conditions as well as lab conditions to ensure accuracy and response times.

Monitor without Interruption
No matter which EXO sensors users select, other features of the smart sensor design make them rugged and durable:
• Wet-mateable connectors resist corrosion
• Isolated components prevent short circuits
• Welded housings and double o-rings prevent leaks
• High-impact plastic and titanium resists breaking
• Built-in anti-fouling systems protect data integrity
• Low power consumption extends underwater deployments

Monitoring Made Mobile
EXO makes it easy to view data in the field. The EXO Handheld offers a dedicated, streamlined interface to EXO sondes. EXO GO uses Bluetooth to connect any Windows OS device to a submerged EXO sonde.

Other EXO Sonde Options
• EXO1 sonde has 4 ports and a smaller diameter
• EXO3 sonde has 5 ports for a lower cost option using the central wiper
• EXO2s sonde offers the same features as the EXO2, but without the battery compartment

**Specifications indicate typical performance and are subject to change. All sensors have a depth rating to 250 m (820 ft), except shallow and medium depth sensors, ammonium, chloride, and nitrate. Accuracy specification is attained immediately following calibration under controlled and stable environmental conditions. Performance in the natural environment may vary from quoted specification.

EXO sensors are not compatible with YSI 6-Series sondes, sensors, or handheld.

1Outputs of specific conductance (conductivity corrected to 25C) and total dissolved solids are also provided. See Calculated Parameters and footnote 11.
2 Temperature accuracy traceable to NIST standards
3Accuracy specifications apply to conductivity levels of 0 to 100,000 μS/cm.

8On transfer from water-saturated air to rapidly stirred air-saturated water at a specific conductance of 800 μS/cm at 20C; T63<5 seconds on transfer from water-saturated air to slowly-stirred air-saturated water.
9 Calibration: 1-, 2-, or 3-point, user-selectable
10 Performance based on 3-point calibration done with YSI AMCO-AEPA standards of 0, 124, and 1010 FNU. The same type of standard must be used for all calibration points.
11 Values are automatically calculated from conductivity according to algorithms found in Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater (Ed. 1989).
