Event Triggering increases the frequency of data logging when a user-selected parameter changes by a certain amount over a certain time.

Digital Turbidity Sensor has built-in autoranging for excellent performance in near-zero FNU waters, with an upper range to 5000 FNU. Calibration Stability Indicator tells you when your sensor is stable enough for calibration. New Sensors include tryptophan/BOD, optical brighteners, bromide, calcium, and sodiumions, fDOM II, chlorophyll red, and transmissivity. Other new features include: Custom Parameter, Calibration Stability Indicator, opper-Gauze Antifouling Kit, Expanded Calibration Log, Raw Values, Aquarius™ Compatibility, Battery Voltage Indicator.

Ideal for:

  • Spot checking 
  • Profiling
  • Low flow sampling
  • Lab use
  • Wireless communication to cable reels

How does it work?

The mantaMobile connects to the multiprobe’s underwater cable, any length up to 200 meters. It provides power to the probe, and a wireless connection to a Bluetooth-enabled display. Eureka’s mantaLink App for the display device provides control features, including sensor configuration, instant and automated data capture, file management, calibration, GPS, geofencing, and more! Data files may be emailed for convenience.

mantaLink App

You must first download the mantaLink App to your display, from the Google Play Store, or Apple App Store. Once paired with the mantaMobile Bluetooth device, launch the App to connect to a Eureka multiprobe.

Probes

Trimeter and Manta Probes are multiparameter sondes for monitoring water quality in fresh, brackish and marine waters.  All sondes may be used for discrete sampling, profiling, as self-powered loggers, or connected to telemetry stations for continuous real-time monitoring, with water quality data accessible via cloud-based software.  Our sondes communicate RS-232, SDI-12 or Modbus, for flexibility in connecting to a variety of different data loggers and PLC’s.  Eureka offers the largest selection of water quality sensor technologies in the industry.  So in addition to standard configurations, each probe may be customized for your specific application.  Pick sensors of your choice to fully populate larger probes, or add a battery pack to convert a probe to a logging device.  All Trimeter and Manta probes feature anti-corrosive housings and sensors, robust marine bulkhead connectors, and anti-fouling options.  LED status indicators on each sonde provide important diagnostic information. Each probe includes an industry-leading 3 year warranty.  Operate your Trimeter and Manta probes with a variety of display options, via a direct or Bluetooth connection.  Intuitive control software, available for Windows, iOS and Android is included at no additional cost with every probe.

Trimeter

Eureka’s compact, low cost Trimeter is designed for projects that require the same high-quality features of a Manta+ probe, but fewer sensors.

Manta 20

The portable, yet rugged Manta+20, is well suited for site-to-site spot checking or profiling, in any type of water. The +20 fits in a backpack too!

Eureka 25

Eureka’s compact Manta+25 is an excellent choice when your application calls for turbidity monitoring, but only a few additional sensors...

Manta 30

Eureka’s Manta+30 packs big 4, ORP, depth, and wipered turbidity - plus one ISE sensor, all into one small rugged probe. Learn More about the 30 here.

Eureka 35

Eureka’s Manta+35 accommodates up to 11 different sensors, making it extremely versatile for a wide variety of water quality monitoring applications...

Easyprobe

You’ve never seen this performance at this price in a water-quality monitor.

Manta 40

Eureka’s Manta+40, hold more sensors than any multiparameter probe in the industry.  It is ideal for long-term telemetry deployments.

Battery Life

A fully charged mantaMobile device will run up to 22 continuous hours (based on operating a Manta+ multiprobe with 13 sensors). Run time increases with fewer sensors; will vary depending on the type and number of sensors installed.

Trimeter - Three Parameters at the Lowest Possible Cost
Get all the features of a Manta, including top-grade sensors and simple software, in an instrument designed for economy. Each Trimeter employs one of any sensor that Eureka offers, plus optional temperature and depth sensors.

A Data Display for Every Application and Budget

The AmphibianPlus is a waterproof, full-function Windows PDA the Manta user interface, with GPS and cell phone options. The Bluetooth Battery powers your Manta, and lets you talk wirelessly to the Manta with any Bluetooth-equipped Android or Windows peripheral. You can save up to $1500 by using your own phone instead of a limited-purpose data display.

One Job – One Instrument
The Manta family offers up to 12 sensors in one, integrated package. Available sensors include temperature, optical DO, pH, ORP, conductivity, depth, level, turbidity, fluorometers including chlorophyll a, chlorophyll red, phycocyanin, phycoerythrin, fDOM, fDOM II, rhodamine, fluorescein, crude oil, refined fuels, optical brighteners, and tryptophan/BOD, CO2, ammonium, nitrate, sodium, calcium, bromide, chloride, TDG, PAR, dual PAR, and transmissivity.

Field-Proven Methods to Minimize Fouling
The Extended Turbidity Brush cleans turbidity and other sensors, such as DO, chlorophyll, and BG algae. The MiniCleaner is a stand-alone wiper system used when you don’t have an Extended Turbidity Brush. The Copper-Gauze Kit wraps the sensors in copper gauze that slowly dissolves, bathing the sensors with the copper ions that discourage biofouling. Copper gauze is superior to solid copper, which become ineffective once oxidized.
