Connectivity and Visualization 

 

When using a smartphone, tablet or other display device (Android™) you would need to add to your 

package the 

Bluetooth

® wireless technology battery pack which allows to connect the external device 

with the probe via 

Bluetooth

® wireless technology and additionally provides external power to the in-

strument.  

 

HyQual also connects to a PC with the use of the optional USB Converter. 

 

Vented capacity 

 

With the vented depth sensor, the multiprobe automatically corrects depth measurments for changes in 
Barometric Pressure.  
 
Please note that vented capacity is optional, it requires to add an optional depth sensor, optional vented 
depth capacity, and an optional vented cable. 
 
Additionally, this capacity is incorporated in the probe so you will add it when purchasing the probe. If 
you happen to have a probe and need to incorporate this capacity, you will have to send the probe back 
to us at your own expense. 
 

Additional sensors 
 

Barometric pressure is calculated with the use of the depth sensor therefore, you will need to add an 
optional depth sensor to any of your probes HyQual 200, HyQual 300 and HyQual 300T. 
 
When  Absolute  Pressure  method  is  used  (non-vented  capacity)  there 

are  three  ways of obtaining  the 

value of Barometric Pressure: 
a)           With the use of a theorical Barometric Pressure 
b)           With the use of the depth sensor, by taking the probe out of the water and placing it at the water 
surface so that the probe only measures the Barometric Pressure 
c)           With a barometer (any brand) 
 
Please note that barometric pressure value is needed for the calibration of the DO sensor. 

 

Safety Instructions
