DEPLOYMENT AND INSTALLATION
Apogee MQ series quantum meters are designed for spot-check measurements, and calculation of daily light
integral (DLI; total number of photons incident on a planar surface over the course of a day) through the built-in
logging feature. To accurately measure PFFD incident on a horizontal surface, the sensor must be level. The AL-100
accessory leveling plate is recommended for use with the MQ-510 to ensure the sensor is level when attached to a
cross-arm. The bubble-level in the plate makes leveling simple and accurate.
The AM-310 Sensor Wand accessory incorporates a mounting fixture at the end of an extendable telescopic wand
(up to 33 inches/84 cm). The wand is not suited for wet environments; however, it is excellent for greenhouses and
growth chambers. Its ability to retract to a smaller size also makes it ideal for travel use.
The AM-320 Saltwater Submersible Sensor Wand accessory incorporates a mounting fixture at the end of a 40-inch
segmented fiberglass wand and is well-suited for saltwater use. The wand allows the user to place the sensor in
hard to reach areas such as aquariums.
NOTE:
The handheld meter portion of the instrument is
not
waterproof. Do
not
get the meter wet or leave the
meter in high humidity environments for prolonged periods of time. Doing so can lead to corrosion that could void
the warranty.
