Current Status	in use
Physical Condition	good 1499 Installed as of 09Sep2024 to replace 1177 which seemed to have stopped working. SBE no longer calibrates or services WETStar Fluorometers as of 31Jul2022. WETStar-1177 may be kept for spares so look for it if this 1499 needs parts. The nozzles / nipples / cleaning supplies / plumbing are typically kept in the Wet Lab near the fluorometers and debubbler.
Physical Configuration	Mounted vertically in the plumbing between the 4-part manifold and the SBE45.
