AML-3 with SV and P sensors
The AML-3 is one of the most versatile, multi-sensor oceanographic instruments currently available. The AML-3 has three sensor ports on the endcap; the sensor payload is modular and can be field-swapped to meet project requirements. Certain sensors such as CT and SVT are dual parameters, thus enabling the direct measurement of up to four distinct parameters from the instrument’s end cap. In addition, the AML-3 calculates salinity and density.
Sound Velocity Sensor
AML's Sound Velocity (SV) sensor sets the standard for Time of Flight SV technology. Invented by AML in the late 90's, it reflects decades of real-world experience and continuous improvement. The sensor provides high speed data for a wide range of hydrographic and oceanographic applications. Recommended calibration interval is one year. X2change™ is the industry’s leading family of field-swappable sensor heads. Each sensor head contains its own embedded calibration and can be moved from instrument to instrument without impacting accuracy. Changing sensors is easy: simply unscrew one sensor head and replace it with another.
Key Benefits:
Zero Down Time – With X2•Series sensors, recalibrated sensors are sent to the instrument instead of sending the instrument to the recalibration centre.
Reduced Logistical Costs – With X2•Series, small sensor heads are shipped instead of heavy instruments.
Increased Flexibility – Field-swappable sensor heads enable any organization – big or small – to become a virtual recalibration centre by stocking spare calibrated sensor heads.
One Instrument, Multiple Applications – Change the sensor type on any instrument to suit specific application requirements. This means instrument duplicates (identical instruments dedicated to different pressure ranges, e.g., separate instruments for Turbidity, pH, Chlorophyll, etc.) become a thing of the past.
Improved Absolute Pressure Accuracy – Choose the best full-scale pressure range to suit your deployment depth.
X2change™ sensor heads are used exclusively with X2•Series / Orange Line instrumentation. Total flexibility of instrument model, sensor type, and sensor range ensures that the right instrument is always available. Please refer to the X2•Series brochure for a list of instruments, applications, and specifications.
