The Classic Fluorometer, Wireless Standard 3m is designed for ease of handling, with the cable extending from the base of the sensor.  The sensor is waterproof to 3m/10ft.  The sensor enables convenient measurement of wet material including aquatic plants, algae and wet leaves. The small size of the fluorometer (1.8″diameter, 2.7″ long), and its 12-24V capability makes it easy to use in the field. On commencing measurements, one establishes a suitable gain setting with a sample leaf and a zero offset value in air or water. Chlorophyll-containing samples are then simply placed over the sampling window for single or repeated measurements.  An optional clear light pipe extension enables measurement of samples 0.5m from the sensor; this is particularly useful for long term measurements where shading of the sample must be avoided.

The Classic Fluorometer, Wireless Standard 3m is designed to be operated from a PC (Windows XP and later).  A small transceiver plugs into the computer USB port.  The interface enclosure receives the signal from up to 40 m away.  This enables the computer to be located separately from the sensor, for example in a dry part of a greenhouse. Both power and the fluorescence sensor are connected to the interface enclosure. All items are contained in a lightweight carry case that is small enough to fit in a shoulder bag.

AquationDirect is the proprietary software used to communicate with the fluorometer.  The simple uncluttered approach hides features when they are not required, providing a more enjoyable user experience.  There are three levels of control. “Profile” defines settings for each measurement (measuring light intensity, saturating pulse intensity etc.).  “Program” defines a sequence of yield measurements, actinic treatments and far-red light treatments.  The intensity and duration of each light can be defined.  A Light Curve and Recovery Curve generator provides flexible generation of curves with user defined actinic intensities and durations.  Even reverse light curves can be defined if required. “Schedule” simply schedules a series of Programs, where one may wish to run different programs during the early morning program, midday, afternoon and night time.
