General Description of the Mp troll
9500
Your new Multi-Parameter TROLL 9500 water quality probe uses
the latest sensor and electronics technology to provide a robust,
durable, and user-friendly instrument.
The MP TROLL 9500 logs data from up to 7 water-level and
water-quality sensors, as well as built-in temperature and baro-
metric pressure sensors. Many custom options and versions are
available, so your instrument may not look exactly like those we
have chosen to illustrate in this manual.
The MP TROLL 9500 provides the convenience of a labora-
tory-quality measurement instrument for field use, providing true
in-situ monitoring of water level and water quality.
