The NKE Aquaprobe-2000 Water Monitoring Probe is the smaller of our advanced portable multiparameter water monitoring probes. It comes with a range of standard sensors included; it also offers some customization options that allow you to add even more sensors to the probe. All of our probes are constructed from tough marine-grade aluminum that has been hard anodized, making it suitable for use in both fresh and salt waters.
- Dissolved Oxygen
- Specific Electrical Conductivity
- Absolute Electrical Conductivity
- pH
- ORP
- Total Dissolved Solids
- Resistivity
- Salinity
- Sea Water Specific Gravity
- Temperature
The AP-2000 features 2 Auxiliary sockets to allow you to add further sensors to the probe.
The probe can be used with a variety of cable lengths via the AquaConn Connectors. Cables available in 3, 10, 20, and 30m lengths as standard.
- There are 3 simple choices to make to customize the probe.
- The probe comes with 1 Ion Selective Electrode (ISE) socket and 1 optical electrode socket, plus an option to add a Depth Sensor!
- Probes are supplied with blanking plugs in the ISE and optical electrode ports as standard. Simply unscrew these to add your extra electrodes.
- The AP-2000-D features a Depth Sensor. This sensor is capable of measurement accuracy of 0.5%FS.
- This is very comparable to a dedicated water level logger such as the LeveLine-ECO: 0.2%FS, and the LeveLine (titanium): 0.1%FS.
- The depth is zeroed automatically whilst the conductivity is reading zero. As soon as the conductivity registers over 0 the probe depth begins to be calculated.
- Once the probe is lowered to the desired depth it must be secured, then using the GPS Aquameter the depth can be zeroed once again.
- Now the AP-2000-D will detect small changes in the water level and display them as a positive or negative change
Each sensor serves a unique purpose, and so is unique in its function and composition — but all are made with high-quality, durable materials that allow you to measure accurately, time and time again.
If you’re not sure what water quality testing sensor you need, do feel free to contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
Some of our most commonly-used sensors include:
- pH — to measure water acidity
- Temperature — to measure temperatures between -5 and +50°C
- EC — Electrical Conductivity — to measure the concentration of salts
- Turbidity — to measure water clarity impacted by the presence of suspended particles
- DO — Dissolved Oxygen — to measure the level of oxygen in the water

- Protective Sleeve End Cap.
- Calibration bottle filled with RapidCal Solution.
- Spare calibration / rinse bottle.
- One mounting nut (pre-fitted).
- Getting started card for quick reference.
- 25mL bottle of pH storage solution.
- Pot of silicone grease.
- The optical sensor works on the principle of Dynamic Luminescence Quenching. A gas-permeable material known as a luminophore is excited with short bursts of blue light, which causes molecules in the luminophore to emit red photons.
- By measuring the delay of the returned red photons with respect to the blue excitation, the level of dissolved oxygen present can be determined.
- The optical method has various advantages over the historical galvanic method for measuring dissolved oxygen.
- The bright red and blue LED’s of the optical DO sensor
- The most important being that as no oxygen is consumed across a membrane, the sensor does not require a flow of liquid passing over it to achieve a stable reading. Other advantages include in frequent calibrations (every 3-6 months), and replaceable caps that last over 2 years
- All Aquaprobes feature the new AquaConn fully metal connectors. The AP-2000 features the all-metal AquaConn connectors.
- These high specification connectors feature large metallic key for a rigid fit, recessed pins for extra protection during pairing, guide markers on each part of the connector to allow you to instantly push the pair together in the correct alignment.
- The AP-2000 has two auxiliary sockets. One small ISE socket and one larger optical electrode socket. These sockets allow you to add extra sensors to the AP-2000 depending on your requirements, we have a wide range of sensors available such as ammonium, nitrate turbidity and chlorophyll to name a few.
