Page 4: Introduction
Logger platform offers one optical port for connection of a wide range of optical O - or pH- sensors from PyroScience. A fixed NTC temperature sensor provides automatic temperature compensation of the optical sensors. The integrated rechargeable LiPo battery offers stand-alone logging for up to 1 year. -
Page 5: Overview
AquapHOx® Logger | Manual OVERVIEW The front of the AquapHOx® Logger provides the port for connecting optical sensors using the PyroScience SUB-connector, the fixed NTC temperature sensor for automatic temperature compensation, and a mounting thread for calibration containers or protective cage during deployment/transport. The backside of the device provides the connector with the USB interface. -
Page 6: Air Pressure Compensation
AquapHOx® Logger | Manual Air Pressure Compensation APHOX devices, the Pyro Workbench offers two ways to compensate for deviating ambient air pressure at the water surface. The ambient air pressure can either be entered in "hPa" as fixed pressure (measured at the water surface), or in approx. -

AquapHOx® Logger | Manual Optional Accessories Sensor protection cage with anti-(bio)fouling net (item: APHOX®-CAGE-AF). Anti-(bio)fouling net for underwater (-SUB) pH and oxygen sensor caps (item APHOX®-CAP-AF). For optimal protection, the anti-(bio)fouling net (copper alloy) for the sensor cap protection cage (item: APHOX®-CAP-AF) should be combined with the sensor protection cage for... - Page 8 AquapHOx® Logger | Manual Flow-through-cell (item: APHOX®-FTC). The flow-through cell allows to connect the APHOX® devices to a flow path. It can be used fully submerged, as well as in the laboratory, and can be combined with all PyroScience cap sensors with SUB-connector.

AquapHOx® Logger | Manual SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AquapHOx® Logger is operated with the user-friendly software Pyro Workbench. This software offers comfortable settings and calibration wizards, as well as advanced logging features. Several devices can be operated in parallel within a single window. -
Page 10: Configuration
AquapHOx® Logger | Manual CONFIGURATION This chapter provides short instructions how to install, configure, and calibrate sensor heads to the AquapHOx® Logger. For in-depth information especially on sensor settings and sensor calibration, please refer to the respective Analyte Sensor Manual... -
Page 11: Sensor Settings
Enter all required parameters in the software, and perform a sensor calibration. 2-point calibration • For 0% calibration, use the 0% calibration capsules from PyroScience, giving 50mL 0% calibration standard (item no.: OXCAL). • For calibration using the calibration container, please dissolve 2 capsules in 100ml deion. water (NOT seawater). -
Page 12: Calibration Of Ph Sensors
AquapHOx® Logger | Manual Calibration of pH Sensors • A one-point calibration is obligatory to start measurements. • A two-point calibration is highly recommended before every measurement. • An additional pH offset-adjustment is recommended only for advanced applications, e.g. measurements in complex media. - Page 13 AquapHOx® Logger | Manual • Select the desired calibration against the integrated NTC Temperature Sensor or against a Fixed Reference Temperature. • Calibrate the optical temperature sensor. Important: When using the integrated NTC temperature sensor for the reference temperature, ensure that the connected optical temperature sensors is exposed to the same temperature as the NTC temperature sensor.
