The ProDSS is a portable water quality instrument used for sampling applications in a variety of environments, such as:
Equipped with smart sensor technology, the ProDSS automatically recognizes sensors while retaining their calibration data. Its 4-port cable assembly allows you to choose any four sensors at a given time.
ProDSS Parameter Options:
1Derived parameter
2Included in Handheld
Some sensors are EPA approved for drinking water and wastewater compliance reporting.
Note: It is recommended that a Conductivity/Temperature Sensor (626902) is installed in every ProDSS 4-port cable assembly for accurate temperature compensation and measurement.
Key Features
Additional Cable Offerings
Provides accurate DO measurements with an optical dissolved oxygen sensor and an inline conductivity sensor, allowing for real-time salinity compensation.
An optical dissolved oxygen probe assembly with cable for a DO-only instrument. Alternatively, if searching for a DO-only handheld instrument, explore the ProSolo.
EPA-approve method for wastewater compliance reporting of BOD and CBOD. Designed for use in the lab, featuring a self-stirring probe.
All ProDSS instruments include a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (pre-installed), hand strap, USB cable for charging the ProDSS battery and for connection to a PC, universal AC charger, cable for connection to a USB memory stick, ProDSS quick start guide, and USB memory stick containing Kor Software and a digital copy of the user manual.
Want to learn more about the ProDSS? Our online learning program – ProDSS On-Demand Training – is free to use and ensures all trainees are comfortable going in to the field with a ProDSS.
Kor makes it easy to manage ProDSS instrumentation and water quality data. Use the traditional Desktop Software or the Kor Mobile App to calibrate sensors, set up long-term deployments, and ensure equipment is operating at peak performance!
