Hobo GUARD-2
Antifouling protective guard, compatible with the U26-001 dissolved oxygen data logger
The Hobo GUARD-2 is an anti-fouling protective guard designed to replace the standard protective guard on the Hobo U26 dissolved oxygen data logger. This guard is specially designed to protect the sensor against fouling during deployment, ensuring accurate measurements over extended periods.
Key Features:
- Anti-Fouling Design: The guard utilizes copper windings to reduce bio-fouling, which helps to maintain the accuracy of your data logger by preventing build-up on the sensor. The copper attracts bio-foul, keeping it away from the sensor.
- Maintains Water Flow: Despite its protective function, the guard still allows good water flow to the sensor, ensuring reliable dissolved oxygen measurements.
- Easy Maintenance: Pedak recommends cleaning the protective guard approximately every six months to prevent excessive accumulation of fouling, ensuring optimal performance.
The Hobo GUARD-2 is essential for users deploying the Hobo U26 in environments prone to bio-fouling, such as lakes, rivers, and coastal areas, where maintaining sensor accuracy is critical.
