Apogee 510 ?

DEWreefing · Feb 28, 2020

Alright guys I finally bought the apogee 510 today. Trying to tune my new hydra 64hd. Has anyone use the 510 since they fixed the sensor?

No one

I think that its just basically put it in the water and read the sensor level. You should be good to go. Just purchased the sq520 today

Yes stick it in the water and turn it on. Looks like you figured it out.

The one brs stated the sensor is off and you had to multiple by 1.3 did they fix that issue already?

According to the white paper, this impacts units produced in 2017? Here is the list of impacted serial numbers.

Serial Number Ranges:

MQ-500 S/N 1001-1457

MQ-510 S/N 1001-1109

SQ-500 S/N 1001-1227

SQ-520 S/N 1001-1359

"It was recently discovered that Apogee Instruments quantum sensors and meters (500 series) manufactured prior to March 28, 2017 (see serial number ranges below) were measuring lower than the specified spectral accuracy under deep blue and violet lamps in the 400 to 420 nm range when compared to precision spectroradiometers. An investigation found a small manufacturing defect in the sensor optics that has now been corrected. We sincerely regret any problem and inconvenience this defect has caused for customers measuring light from deep blue or violet lamps. Apogee stands behind our products and will make this right for you." https://www.apogeeinstruments.com/full-spectrum-quantum-sensor-support/

Being the fact I got it last week I'm sure brs would have sent the older ones back to be recalibrated.
