Maximum Versatility
The IO9000 module allows the use of analog inputs and outputs with the AS950 sampler. With the IO9000 module, the AS950 provides more input and output options than any other Hach sampler before it. For added versatility the IO9000 is available in two versions; IO9001 is available for simple applications that only require 1 high voltage relay while the IO9004 is fully loaded. See specifications for more detail.
Outputs
Analog 0/4-20 mA outputs can be used to send information to a SCADA system for parameters such as level, velocity, flow and pH. Examples of alarms and events include: sensor outside of limits (flow related, water quality related, internal temperature or ambient temperature), program started, program completed, sample being taken, bottle full (single bottle), pump running forward, pump running in reverse, pump error, distributor error, power failure, or main battery low.
Inputs
Analog 0/4-20mA inputs can be used to interface third party sensors to the AS950. Once logged, the analog process measurement can be used like a Hach sensor in applications such as setpoint alarms or event-based sampling. In addition, the third party measurements can be monitored on the user interface along with Hach sensors and peripherals.
Relays
Like the digital outputs, these relay outputs are used to indicate alarms or events. The difference is that relays can be used for switching AC mains line voltage to control higher power functions. Examples for use are for a warning light or sound signal, switching a diversion valve or gate or a control signal to another machine.

Angler-Driven Citizen Science: Monitoring Black Bass Populations in Arkansas
In Arkansas, the rugged terrain of the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains dominates the north and west, eventually yielding to the vast, fertile flatlands of the Mississippi River Delta to the east. Hundreds of reservoirs and lakes punctuate the landscape, while swift streams snake through the valleys and hills, eventually giving way to the slow-moving rivers and bayous in the south. The waterways of the state are teeming with life. Black bass dominate most of these ecosystems and have drawn anglers for centuries. The most sought-after fish in one of the country's most prominent fishing states, Arkansas treasures its black bass populations.

White Lake in Western Michigan is a vestige of North America’s glacial past, and gets its name from an interpretation of the Indian, “Wabish-Sippe,” meaning the river with white clay. The twin towns of Whitehall and Montague, which nestle on White Lake’s shore, have shared a close connection with the lake since their foundation–from the growth of the lumbering industry, to industrializsation, the expansion of tourism, and most recently, environmental protection. The White Lake Association (WLA) was founded in 1988 by residents concerned about proposed development at the lake’s northern end.

The flow dynamics of rivers and streams play an essential role in the chemical and physical functions of aquatic ecosystems. In Maine, varying flows in the Penobscot River Basin have impacted the health of the ecosystem, water resource use, and habitat suitability for native species—topics of particular concern to the Penobscot Indian Nation , who have been protecting and managing the waterway for millennia. Parts of the Penobscot basin have been monitored by the USGS stream gage network, which covers larger streams and rivers but excludes many of the small streams found on tribal lands.
