Mobile Analysis Laboratory for Ion Measurements – Versatile Use Compact kit for simultaneous determination of multiple water and environmental parameters The Horiba 4M LAQUAtwin Kit is a mobile laboratory that allows you to determine important ion parameters directly on-site. The case contains pocket testers for measuring sodium, potassium, nitrate, and calcium, as well as for temperature measurement. Each device uses ion-selective electrodes for targeted analysis of small samples and provides fast, reliable results. In addition to the four measurement devices, the kit includes calibration solutions and a wash/spray bottle for sensor cleaning. The sensors can be stored dry without special storage solutions. Compact Multi-Parameter Kit for Flexible On-Site Analyses The set is designed for measurement tasks where multiple ions need to be detected simultaneously, for example when monitoring drinking and process water, performing environmental checks of water bodies, conducting aquaculture analyses, or agricultural research. Thanks to the case, all essential testers including accessories are always on hand and ready for immediate use. The measurement results are available in a short time and are reliable and reproducible – ideal for routine and control measurements in the field. All components are neatly arranged in the case and ready for use at any time. An additional advantage is that the sensors can be stored dry without special storage solutions. Due to its compact design, the kit is particularly suitable for mobile applications where multiple ion parameters need to be determined quickly one after the other or in parallel. Why Multi-Parameter Ion Measurements Are Useful – and a Mobile Kit Is Ideal In many applications, not just a single measurement is important, but the interaction of multiple ion parameters. Sodium, potassium, nitrate, and calcium together influence water quality, biological processes, plant growth, and technical operations. Single measurements in a laboratory are often time-consuming and inflexible. A mobile analysis kit allows simultaneous detection of multiple parameters directly on-site. This allows relationships to be recognized more quickly, decisions to be made more reliably, and measurement campaigns to be carried out more efficiently. The Horiba 4M LAQUAtwin Kit combines these advantages in a compact, user-friendly system.

HORIBA U-52G (10 m) – Multi-Parameter Meter with GPS, Turbidity and Water Depth Measurement Monitoring Water Quality with One Measuring Instrument Reliable assessment of water quality often requires the measurement of several parameters. When these are determined individually using different measuring instruments, the effort required for measurements, documentation and evaluation increases. The HORIBA U-52G (10 m) from the U-50 series enables mobile multi-parameter measurements using a combined sensor probe. Various water parameters can be recorded within a single measurement process and displayed directly on the control unit. The instrument is particularly suitable for on-site investigations of surface waters, water quality monitoring and the inspection of water treatment processes. The U-52G version is equipped with a 10-metre sensor cable and enables the simultaneous display of up to 11 measured and calculated values. Unlike the U-52 version, the HORIBA U-52G additionally features an integrated GPS function and water depth measurement. This allows water quality data to be assigned to a geographical measurement location and a specific depth. The integrated LED turbidity sensor also enables the measurement of water turbidity together with other relevant water quality parameters. The extended sensor cable enables measurements at deeper and difficult-to-access sampling locations. Combined with GPS and depth measurement, this supports the traceable documentation of water investigations at different locations and measurement depths. Measuring Parameters of the HORIBA U-52G The multi-parameter measuring instrument records important physical and chemical parameters for assessing water quality. pH value: Assessment of the acidic or alkaline characteristics of a water sample. Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP): Measurement of the electrochemical oxidation-reduction potential. Dissolved Oxygen (DO): Monitoring the oxygen content in water. Electrical Conductivity: Assessment of electrical conductivity as an indicator of dissolved ions. Salinity: Determination of salt content based on conductivity measurements. TDS: Determination of total dissolved solids as a calculated value. Seawater Specific Gravity: Calculated parameter for corresponding water samples. Temperature: Measurement of water temperature for the assessment and compensation of temperature-dependent parameters. Turbidity: Optical turbidity measurement using an LED-based sensor to assess suspended particles and changes in water clarity. Water Depth: Measurement of water depth using an integrated pressure sensor with a measuring range of 0 to 30 metres.

GPS is an additional function for assigning measurement locations and is not a physicochemical water parameter. Functions and Features The HORIBA U-52G combines a multifunctional sensor probe with a portable control unit. This allows several water parameters to be recorded within a single measurement process, without requiring a separate measuring instrument for each parameter. Integrated LED Turbidity Measurement The integrated turbidity sensor uses an LED-based optical measurement method with 30-degree forward light scattering. This enables the determination of turbidity caused by suspended particles in the water. Turbidity measurements provide useful additional information when assessing surface waters, wastewater and other water samples in which suspended solids may be present. Integrated GPS Function The HORIBA U-52G features an integrated GPS receiver for determining the geographical position of the measurement location. The location information enables the spatial assignment of recorded water quality data. This allows measurements at different sampling locations to be documented and compared in a traceable manner. This is particularly useful for environmental monitoring, water investigations and recurring measurement campaigns. GPS positioning requires adequate reception conditions. Integrated Water Depth Measurement The HORIBA U-52G features an integrated pressure sensor for determining water depth. The measuring range is 0 to 30 metres. Water depth measurement makes it possible to assign water quality parameters to a specific measurement depth. This supports the investigation of different water layers and the documentation of measurement profiles. With this version, the 10-metre sensor cable limits the practically achievable measurement depth. The measuring range of the integrated depth sensor must therefore not be equated with the actual achievable operating depth. Clear Measurement Display The control unit features a backlit monochrome graphic display on which the recorded measurement values are clearly presented. This facilitates the assessment of water quality directly at the measuring location. Data Storage and Transfer The instrument offers a storage capacity of up to 10,000 data sets. Stored measurement data can be transferred via the USB interface for further documentation and evaluation. Designed for Mobile Use The robust construction and water-protected components are designed for measurements under demanding operating conditions. The sensor probe complies with protection class IP68, while the control unit complies with protection class IP67 when the sensor cable is connected. Extended Applications with a 10-Metre Cable The 10-metre sensor cable allows the sensor probe to be positioned at a greater distance from the control unit. The operator can carry out measurements from a suitable and easily accessible location. This is particularly useful for measurements from bridges, jetties, platforms, riverbanks and other sampling locations where direct access to the water is limited. The longer cable also enables measurements at different water depths. Water parameters can therefore be recorded at various measuring points within a body of water and assigned to the corresponding measurement depth to investigate possible differences in water quality. Calibration and Sensor Maintenance The integrated calibration functions support the preparation of the measuring instrument for reliable measurements. Regular calibration, cleaning and maintenance of the sensors in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions are necessary to ensure consistently meaningful results. Typical Applications The HORIBA U-52G with a 10-metre sensor cable is suitable for various tasks in water analysis and environmental monitoring.

HORIBA U-52G (2 m) – Multi-Parameter Meter with GPS, Turbidity and Water Depth Measurement Monitoring Water Quality with One Measuring Instrument Reliable assessment of water quality often requires the measurement of several parameters. When these are determined individually using different measuring instruments, the effort required for measurements, documentation and evaluation increases. The HORIBA U-52G (2 m) from the U-50 series enables mobile multi-parameter measurements using a combined sensor probe. Various water parameters can be recorded within a single measurement process and displayed directly on the control unit. The instrument is particularly suitable for on-site investigations of surface waters, water quality monitoring and the inspection of water treatment processes. The U-52G version is equipped with a 2-metre sensor cable and enables the simultaneous display of up to 11 measured and calculated values. Unlike the U-52 version, the HORIBA U-52G additionally features an integrated GPS function and water depth measurement. This allows water quality data to be assigned to a geographical measurement location and a specific depth. The integrated LED turbidity sensor also enables the measurement of water turbidity together with other relevant water quality parameters. The combination of multi-parameter measurement, GPS and water depth recording supports the traceable documentation of water investigations at different sampling locations. Measuring Parameters of the HORIBA U-52G The multi-parameter measuring instrument records important physical and chemical parameters for assessing water quality. pH value: Assessment of the acidic or alkaline characteristics of a water sample. Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP): Measurement of the electrochemical oxidation-reduction potential. Dissolved Oxygen (DO): Monitoring the oxygen content in water. Electrical Conductivity: Assessment of electrical conductivity as an indicator of dissolved ions. Salinity: Determination of salt content based on conductivity measurements. TDS: Determination of total dissolved solids as a calculated value. Seawater Specific Gravity: Calculated parameter for corresponding water samples. Temperature: Measurement of water temperature for the assessment and compensation of temperature-dependent parameters. Turbidity: Optical turbidity measurement using an LED-based sensor to assess suspended particles and changes in water clarity. Water Depth: Measurement of water depth using an integrated pressure sensor with a measuring range of 0 to 30 metres. In addition, the HORIBA U-52G features a GPS function for recording geographical position data. GPS is an additional function for assigning measurement locations and is not a physicochemical water parameter. Functions and Features The HORIBA U-52G combines a multifunctional sensor probe with a portable control unit. This allows several water parameters to be recorded within a single measurement process, without requiring a separate measuring instrument for each parameter. Integrated LED Turbidity Measurement The integrated turbidity sensor uses an LED-based optical measurement method with 30-degree forward light scattering. This enables the determination of turbidity caused by suspended particles in the water. Turbidity measurements provide useful additional information when assessing surface waters, wastewater and other water samples in which suspended solids may be present. Integrated GPS Function The HORIBA U-52G features an integrated GPS receiver for determining the geographical position of the measurement location. The location information enables the spatial assignment of recorded water quality data. This allows measurements at different sampling locations to be documented and compared in a traceable manner. This is particularly useful for environmental monitoring, water investigations and recurring measurement campaigns. GPS positioning requires adequate reception conditions. Integrated Water Depth Measurement The HORIBA U-52G features an integrated pressure sensor for determining water depth. The measuring range is 0 to 30 metres. Water depth measurement makes it possible to assign water quality parameters to a specific measurement depth. This supports the investigation of different water layers and the documentation of measurement profiles. With this version, the 2-metre sensor cable limits the practically achievable measurement depth. The measuring range of the integrated depth sensor must therefore not be equated with the actual achievable operating depth. Clear Measurement Display The control unit features a backlit monochrome graphic display on which the recorded measurement values are clearly presented. This facilitates the assessment of water quality directly at the measuring location. Data Storage and Transfer The instrument offers a storage capacity of up to 10,000 data sets. Stored measurement data can be transferred via the USB interface for further documentation and evaluation. Designed for Mobile Use The robust construction and water-protected components are designed for measurements under demanding operating conditions. The sensor probe complies with protection class IP68, while the control unit complies with protection class IP67 when the sensor cable is connected. Flexible Measurements with a 2-Metre Cable The 2-metre sensor cable allows the sensor probe to be positioned directly in the water while the operator controls the measurement from a nearby location. This configuration is particularly suitable for accessible sampling points, shallow water investigations and routine on-site measurements. Calibration and Sensor Maintenance The integrated calibration functions support the preparation of the measuring instrument for reliable measurements. Regular calibration, cleaning and maintenance of the sensors in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions are necessary to ensure consistently meaningful results. Typical Applications The HORIBA U-52G with a 2-metre sensor cable is suitable for various tasks in water analysis and environmental monitoring.

Extended Applications with a 30-Metre Cable The 30-metre sensor cable allows the sensor probe to be positioned at a greater distance from the control unit. The operator can carry out measurements from a suitable and easily accessible location. This is particularly useful for measurements from bridges, jetties, platforms, riverbanks and other sampling locations where direct access to the water is limited. The longer cable also enables measurements at different water depths. Water parameters can therefore be recorded at various measuring points within a body of water and assigned to the corresponding measurement depth to investigate possible differences in water quality. Calibration and Sensor Maintenance The integrated calibration functions support the preparation of the measuring instrument for reliable measurements. Regular calibration, cleaning and maintenance of the sensors in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions are necessary to ensure consistently meaningful results.
