Offering the greatest value of any sonde available on the market, EXO3 combines the maneuverability of the EXO1 with the powerful antifouling wiper of the EXO2.
The EXO advanced water quality monitoring platform includes the versatile multiparameter EXO3 sonde for oceanographic, estuarine, or surface water applications.
EXO3 is a purpose-built sonde for monitoring major water quality parameters, including: pH, conductivity, temperature, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen.
Highest Data Quality
Onboard monitoring systems verify sensor operation
Multiparameter Monitoring
5 universal ports for allow for any combination of smart sensors or the central wiper
Industry-leading Anti-fouling
Best-in-class wiper technology
Titanium Components
The toughest grade parts guarantee operation well into the future
Seamless Integration
EXO can plug-and-play into marine, estuarine, freshwater, and groundwater monitoring systems
The best priced, highest-quality sonde for baseline water quality monitoring.
Flexibility to switch from continuous monitoring to spot sampling with a lighter, shorter form factor.
Integral SDI-12 communications makes it ideal for existing data collection platforms and installations. (Including replacement of 6-Series sondes.)

EXO is an extremely versatile instrument, allowing the user to automatically configure a sonde with different sensors for different applications in minutes
EXO sondes and sensors are tested in a variety of rigorous field conditions as well as lab conditions to ensure accuracy and response times.
No matter which EXO sensors users select, other features of the smart sensor design make them rugged and durable:
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.
Add an EXO Factory Service Plan to your next sonde purchase and have the peace of mind that your new instrument is covered. Use today’s budget to protect your investment for years to come!
The EXO sondes are a key component of a complete, unattended long-term water quality monitoring system from our Integrated Systems & Services group.
