YSI EXO2s (Shorty) Customized Multiparameter Sonde

Go more places with YSI EXO2s (Shorty) sonde! The more maneuverable monitoring platform.

This is the EXO2s conversion service only.
EXO2 sonde, cables, probes/sensors, and accessories sold separately.

We have heard from customers who need the payload and capabilities of YSI's best-in-class EXO2 sonde, but in spaces and places that can't accommodate the EXO2. EXO2s is a customized, batteryless sonde that comes with the same warranty and capabilities as the EXO2

Monitor without Interruption

No matter which EXO sensors users select, other features of the sensors' design make them rugged and durable:

  • Wet-mateable connectors resist corrosion
  • Isolated components prevent short circuits
  • Welded housings and double o-rings prevent leaks
  • High-impact plastic and titanium resists breaking
  • Built-in antifouling systems protect data integrity
  • Low power consumption extends underwater deployments
