راهنمای کاربر متر PAR نور کوانتومی زیر آب Apogee MQ-210

1. مقدمه

The Apogee MQ-210 Quantum Light PAR Meter is designed for precise measurement of Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR) in underwater environments. This device features a waterproof quantum sensor connected to a handheld meter. The MQ-210 is specifically engineered to apply an immersion effect correction factor directly through its firmware, ensuring accurate readings in aquatic settings. It is suitable for various light sources, though specific post-measurement correction factors may be required for LED light sources to achieve optimal accuracy.

Important Note: While the sensor and its cable are fully waterproof, the handheld meter unit is NOT waterproof and must be kept dry.

2. اطلاعات ایمنی

• Always ensure the handheld meter remains dry. Exposure to water will damage the unit and void the warranty.
• Do not attempt to open or modify the handheld meter or the sensor. This can lead to damage and inaccurate readings.
• Handle the sensor cable with care to prevent kinks or damage, which could compromise its waterproof integrity.
• Keep the device away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight when not in use.
• Use only specified batteries (if applicable, refer to product packaging or Apogee documentation).

4. محصول تمام شدview

The MQ-210 system comprises two main parts: the handheld display unit and the waterproof quantum sensor.

شکل 1: Apogee MQ-210 Underwater Quantum Light PAR Meter. This image displays the complete MQ-210 unit, featuring the handheld meter with its digital display and control buttons, connected by a cable to the compact, black waterproof quantum sensor. The sensor is designed for submersion, while the handheld unit is for dry use.

4.1 Handheld Meter

The handheld meter features a digital display for showing PAR readings in µmol m⁻² s⁻¹. It includes control buttons for power, sampling, and mode selection. The meter processes the raw sensor data and applies the immersion effect correction factor.

4.2 Waterproof Quantum Sensor

شکل 2: نمای نزدیک view of the Apogee waterproof quantum sensor. This image highlights the robust, anodized aluminum body and the acrylic diffuser of the sensor head. The sensor contains a blue-enhanced silicon photodiode and custom optical filters, designed for accurate underwater PAR measurements.

The sensor incorporates a blue-enhanced silicon photodiode and custom optical filters housed within a rugged, anodized aluminum body with an acrylic diffuser. It is designed for full submersion in water, making it ideal for applications such as saltwater aquariums.

5. راه اندازی

1. بسته بندی دستگاه را باز کنید: Carefully remove the handheld meter and sensor from its packaging.
2. بررسی آسیب: Check the handheld meter, sensor, and cable for any visible signs of damage. If damage is found, do not proceed with setup and contact support.
3. نصب باتری (در صورت وجود): If the meter requires user-installed batteries (not specified, but common for handheld devices), open the battery compartment (usually on the back) and insert the correct type and number of batteries, observing polarity.
4. اتصال سنسور: The quantum sensor is permanently attached to the handheld meter via a waterproof cable. Ensure the cable connection point to the sensor is secure and undamaged.
5. روشن شدن اولیه: Press the power button on the handheld meter to turn it on. The display should illuminate and show a reading.

6. دستورالعمل های عملیاتی

6.1 روشن/خاموش کردن

• To power on the meter, press the قدرت button (usually marked with a circle and vertical line symbol).
• برای خاموش کردن ، دکمه را فشار دهید و نگه دارید قدرت را فشار دهید تا نمایشگر خاموش شود.

6.2 اندازه گیری

1. قرار دادن سنسور: Carefully submerge the waterproof quantum sensor into the water at the desired depth and location for measurement. Ensure the sensor's acrylic diffuser is clean and unobstructed.
2. Observe Readings: The handheld meter's display will show the real-time PAR reading in µmol m⁻² s⁻¹. The MQ-210 automatically applies the immersion effect correction factor in its firmware for underwater measurements.
3. Sampling (if applicable): If the meter has a "sample" button, pressing it may log the current reading or provide a stable reading. Refer to the on-screen indicators for specific sampتوابع لینگ
4. انتخاب حالت (در صورت وجود): Use the "mode" button to cycle through different display modes or settings if available.

6.3 LED Light Source Considerations

While the MQ-210 is excellent for most light sources, when measuring PAR from LED light sources, post-measurement correction factors may need to be applied for the most accurate results. Consult Apogee Instruments' official documentation or website for specific correction factors pertaining to various LED types.

7. تعمیر و نگهداری

7.1 تمیز کردن

• سنسور: After each use in water, rinse the sensor with fresh water to remove any salt, debris, or biological film. Gently wipe the acrylic diffuser with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the diffuser.
• Handheld Meter: Clean the handheld meter with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or immerse the meter in water.

7.2 ذخیره سازی

• Store the MQ-210 in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• If storing for extended periods, remove batteries from the handheld meter to prevent leakage (if applicable).
• Keep the sensor and cable free from kinks or sharp bends during storage.
