AM-320 Saltwater Submersible 
Sensor Wand 

AM-310 Extendable Sensor 
Wand 

Apogee MQ series ePAR 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 PFD incident on a horizontal surface, the sensor must be level. For this purpose, 
each MQ model comes with a different option for mounting the sensor to a horizontal plane. 

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. 

The AL-100 leveling plate is recommended 
for use with the MQ-610 (AL-100 leveling 
plate pictured). To facilitate mounting to a 
cross arm, the AL-120 mounting bracket is 
recommended.
