  • Page 33: Zeroing The Depth Sensor

    Zeroing the Depth Sensor The Aqua TROLL 700 uses its pressure reading and specific gravity value to calculate depth. The pressure sensor is located at the center of the instrument, but depth is reported at the smart sensor faces. An embedded gyroscope compensates for the distance between these sensors and allows the sonde to be deployed in any orientation (vertical, horizontal, angled).
  • Page 34 Calibration Frequency Recommendations In-Situ sensors are factory calibrated across the entire range of each sensor, and thus achieve a very high degree of accuracy and stability for extended periods of time without user calibration. In-Situ recommends inserting the instrument into a known calibration standard to check the accuracy of a sensor prior to performing any user calibration if you suspect drift, unless a user calibration is required by a standard operating procedure.
  • Page 35 Factory calibration includes a thorough cleaning, full functionality check and sensor adjustments to all applicable sensors over the entire calibrated temperature range. We recommend a factory calibration every 12 months or when the unit appears to drift significantly. 1-970-498-1500 www.in-situ.com...
