RBRtridente
The RBRlegato³ can integrate the RBRtridente sensors.
The RBRtridente is an optical sensor with three channels, capable of making multiple fluorescence and backscatter or turbidity measurements simultaneously. A dry-bay variant, designed specifically for OEM users, is compatible with existing vehicle payload bays and offers the same channel options as the standard, wet-bay version. Integrate the dry-bay RBRtridente on AUVs, gliders, floats, or any other underwater vehicle, and stream your RS-232 data via a Micro-Fit connector.

The RBRtridente uses multiple gains, allowing exposure to full sunlight. However, when exposed to high background ambient light, the resolution of some channels may decrease. For this reason, during deployments, orient the RBRtridente facing downwards. If you have to deploy it horizontally (for example, on a glider), ensure that the machined mark is on top, so that detectors are facing down into the water column.
