With an increased spectral range, and larger sensing optic you will get more precise readings with all types of lighting systems. Apogee now has the immersion correction factor installed in the meter and will automatically compensate for any effects underwater readings may have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApogee has calibrated the MQ-510 sensor with electronic lights that is stored in the firmware of the meter. Calibration with electronic lighting makes it the perfect PAR meter for any type of aquarium lighting. The sensor has a housing designed to be fully weather-proof and self-cleaning allowing years of service with minimal maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo more days of looking and guessing how much light is being put into your tank. Apogee is the leader in radiation sensing devices and recently introduced the MQ-510 USB Powered Quantum PAR Sensor that now corrects for underwater variables. PAR (photosynthetic active radiation) is the easiest way to measure the available light for corals to consume and use for photosynthesis. With LED lights giving more and more control to the consumer the best thing is a PAR meter that is affordable and simple to use. With PAR readings you can monitor light degradation, clarity of the water, and intensity of the lighting schedule. Most LED lights out on the market today have more power than what your corals can take and will quickly bleach out from too much light. By having a PAR meter to monitor the light intensity you will have tangible numbers to go off of, instead of just guessing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe personally like inputting all of our reading on a photo of the aquarium. Having a picture with your tanks PAR levels is very handy to have when placing new corals in your tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResolution\u003c\/strong\u003e - 0 to 4000 μmol m-2s-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalibration Uncertainty\u003c\/strong\u003e - ± 5 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Repeatability\u003c\/strong\u003e - less than 0.5 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResponse Time\u003c\/strong\u003e - less than 1ms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eField of View\u003c\/strong\u003e - 180°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpectral Range\u003c\/strong\u003e - 389 to 692 nm ± 5 nm (wavelengths where response is greater than 50% of maximum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensor Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e - 2.4 cm diameter and 3.7 cm height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e - 2 m (6 ft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e - 4 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AM-330 Telescoping PAR Meter Wand by Apogee is the perfect accessory for your Apogee PAR meter. This extendable underwater wand reaches those hard to reach spots in your aquarium, ensuring you can measure photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) with precision. Accurate PAR measurements are vital for the healthy growth of your corals, as they will influence how you set up your lighting. Whether you are keeping soft corals, LPS, SPS, or a mixed reef, the AM-330 simplifies your lighting adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Apogee Telescoping PAR Meter Wand is fully submersible, allowing the PAR meter's sensor to be securely attached to the end of the wand.
