The AML-3 series is a highly configurable family of multiparameter sondes designed for a wide range of data collection applications. The ‘3’ designation refers to the number of sensors that may be simultaneously installed on the instrument’s endcap.
Common configurations include:
- Sound Velocity & Pressure (SVP)
- Sound Velocity, Turbidity & Pressure (SVP Tu)
- Velocity, Conductivity & Temperature & Depth (SVCTD)
- Conductivity Temperature & Depth (CTD)
The RTS versions (ie. AML-3 RTS) stream real-time data. External power and communication to these instruments are facilitated via a bulkhead connector. The AML-3 RTS is commonly used in moored applications, buoys, underwater observatories, ROVs, and AUVs.
