2.  Introduction - Hyperion Fluorometer

Valeport’s Hyperion Fluorometer sensor range delivers high performance measurements of
Chlorophyll a or Fluorescein in a compact & robust package ideal as a standalone sensor, for ROV
and AUV integration or used as part of a multi-sensor array and data logger.

Offered as standard in a 6000m depth rated, Titanium housing the Hyperion Fluorometer has a wide
range (9-30V DC) isolated power supply, data output up to 32Hz and RS232 communications.

The Hyperion is an accurate single channel detector which can be used for many different
fluorophores. It is designed for integration into systems providing electrical power and delivers a
signal that has been correlated to a known concentration of fluorophore.

2.1.  Fluorophore & Nomenclature

“C”

Chlorophyll

“F”

Fluorescein

"R"

Rhodamine

More Fluorophores will become available in the Hyperion family of products - please check with
Valeport for availability.

Other optical, non-fluorescent technology:

“T”

Turbidity
