In-Situ Debuts the Innovative RDO Trio
In-Situ, Inc. proudly launches the RDO Trio, a major upgrade in dissolved oxygen monitoring technology. This advanced system is tailored for aquaculture and coastal monitoring, making it an essential tool for professionals. The integration of salinity compensated measurements with a built-in wiper sets a new industry benchmark.
Key Features of the RDO Trio
The RDO Trio stands out with its capability to monitor dissolved oxygen, conductivity, and temperature. This compact sensor is a first of its kind, offering real-time salinity compensation together with an integrated central wiper. The design focuses on continuous operation even in demanding environments, enabling sustained performance with minimal upkeep.
Antifouling Innovation
Maintaining accuracy in fouling-prone scenarios is critical. The RDO Trio incorporates various antifouling elements, such as a weighted copper-infused guard and flat-faced sensors. This unique combination ensures that operators receive precise readings while reducing the need for frequent manual maintenance.
Enhanced User Confidence
According to Tom Koniuta, the OEM and Aquaculture Product Manager, the RDO Trio is designed to provide reliable, cost-effective solutions. Its antifouling protection and automated cleaning features instill confidence in field data, allowing operators to make informed decisions quickly.
Automated Cleaning for Reliable Readings
One of the standout features of the RDO Trio is its automated smart wiping system. This feature activates whenever dissolved oxygen levels fall below a user-defined threshold. By automatically clearing sensor build-up, the RDO Trio ensures that alarms for low oxygen levels are accurate and that aeration systems operate efficiently.
Integration with In-Situ Ecosystem
The RDO Trio easily integrates with In-Situ's shared ecosystem, allowing for flexible swapping of cables and communication tools among compatible devices. Furthermore, when combined with the VuLink telemetry system, this innovative sensor transmits data effortlessly to HydroVu, In-Situ's cloud-based data management solution.
Mobile App Integration
Users benefit from straightforward setup and calibration procedures via the VuSitu mobile app. This app also grants access to HydroVu, where automatically backed-up data files and calibration records can be retrieved at no extra cost.
Compatibility with Existing Infrastructure
For users needing to interact with existing systems, the RDO Trio features an open Modbus interface. This allows straightforward integration with SCADA systems, controllers, and various telemetry devices, giving users the flexibility to enhance their current monitoring frameworks.
