Once your order has been prepared for shipment and shipped, you will receive a Shipment Notification email with the carrier and tracking information.
Shipping and Delivery Estimates
The 'Ships' timeframe is an estimate of when the item will ship from our warehouse. All items will ship at one time unless you specifically request a partial shipment. In which case, the items on your order will ship as they become available.
The ‘Delivers’ timeframe is an estimate of when the item will be delivered. The estimated delivery time depends on the shipping method you choose during checkout. All estimates are based on business days.
Shipping Options
Fondriest offers several convenient shipping options via UPS.
| Ground Shipping: | Products shipped via ground service are typically delivered within five business days after shipment. |
| 2-Day Shipping: | For an additional charge, Fondriest offers 2-day shipping for most products. Products shipped via two-day service prior to 4:00 p.m. EST are usually delivered by 7:00 p.m. local time two business days after shipment. |
| Overnight Delivery: | For an additional charge, Fondriest offers overnight shipping for most products. Products shipped via overnight service prior to 4:00 p.m. EST are normally delivered by 7:00 p.m. local time one business day after shipment. Earlier overnight delivery options may also be available, depending on the destination. |

Remember that these estimates are for time in transit only and that they do not apply until the product leaves the Fondriest warehouse. As the delivery of your order is beyond Fondriest’s control once your order leaves the Fondriest warehouse, we cannot assume liability for late deliveries, regardless of the delivery method you specify.
Signature Required on Most Deliveries
Most of Fondriest’s shipments contain valuable equipment. If you will not be at the shipping address to accept delivery of your product, consider shipping the item to an address where someone you trust will be available to sign for your package, or accept your package if a signature is not required for the delivery.
Once your order has prepared for shipment or has shipped, we are unable to change the shipping address. Title and risk of loss to all products will pass to you on delivery. If you are willing to assume the risks of delivering your order without a signature, you may authorize Fondriest to arrange for a delivery that does not require anyone to be at the delivery address.
Undeliverable Packages
Occasionally, packages are returned to Fondriest as undeliverable. When the carrier returns an undeliverable package to Fondriest, please contact us to make arrangements for reshipment.
Failed Delivery Attempts
Most of Fondriest carriers make three attempts to deliver a package. After three delivery attempts, the carrier will return the package to Fondriest.
Order Processing
The estimated shipment date on your order is based on product availability, payment processing time, and warehouse processing time and does not include transit time. We do not begin payment processing until Fondriest receives all of the information that is needed and full payment or a full authorization, in the case of credit card or rental orders.
Fondriest will begin payment processing for orders placed on weekends or holidays on the next business day. Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays.
Your order for in-stock items that are eligible for same-day shipping must be received before your local time of 2:00 p.m., pending payment processing, for there to be adequate remaining time in the day for your order to be dispatched.
Product Availability
Fondriest makes every effort to ship your product according to the estimated lead times. The estimated lead times are in business days (Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays). Although Fondriest makes every effort to ship your order according to the lead time provided, shipping dates may change due to changes in supply. If the lead time changes, Fondriest will contact you via email and provide a revised shipping estimate.
Fondriest makes every effort to supply the products you order, but there may be occasions when Fondriest confirms orders and later learns that it cannot supply the products, either at all or in the quantities ordered. Although rare, these occasions can include when Fondriest learns that the products are no longer being manufactured or they otherwise become unavailable, when Fondriest cannot source components for the configuration you ordered, or when there was a pricing error at the Fondriest Online Store.
In those circumstances, Fondriest will inform you and, if you are interested, Fondriest may suggest alternative products that may meet your needs. If you do not wish to order alternative products, Fondriest will cancel your order for products that cannot be supplied and for any other products that you no longer wish to order as a result, and will issue a refund.

SCHEDULE DEMOKey Features
- Uses computer-tailored filter glass to achieve the desired quantum response
- Sensor is cosine corrected, and calibration is traceable to NIST
- Features corrosion-resistant, rugged construction for use in up to 560m depths
Overview
The LI-192 Underwater Quantum Sensor measures PAR from all angles in one hemisphere. The LI-192 works in air or underwater at depths up to 560 meters. The measurements are cosine corrected and typically expressed as Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD). For simultaneous measurements of downwelling and upwelling PAR, two sensors can be mounted on the 2009S Lowering Frame.
Measurement Principle
The LI-192 uses a silicon photodiode and a glass optical filter to create nearly uniform sensitivity to light between 400 and 700 nm, which closely corresponds to light used by most terrestrial and aquatic plants and algae. A precision optical filter blocks light with wavelengths beyond 700 nm, which is critical for measurements in a water column, where the ratio of infrared to visible light may be high.
- Absolute Calibration: +/-5% in air traceable to NBS
- Sensitivity: Typically 4 uA per 1000 umol s-1 m-2 in water
- Linearity: Maximum deviation of 1% up to 10,000 μmol s-1 m-2
- Stability:< +/-2% change over a 1 year period
- Response Time: 10 us
- Temperature Dependence: +/-0.15% per C maximum
- Cosine Correction: Optimized for both underwater and atmospheric use
- Azimuth:< +/-1% error over 360 degrees at 45 degree elevation
- Detector: High stability silicon photovoltaic detector (blue enhanced)
- Sensor Housing: Corrosion resistant metal with acrylic diffuser for both saltwater and freshwater applications
- Waterproof: Withstands 800 psi pressure (560 meter depths)
- Size: 3.18cm Dia. x 4.62cm H
- Weight: 227g
- Mounting: (3) 6-32 holes are tapped into the base for use with the 2009S Lowering Frame or other mounting devices
- Cable: Requires 2222UWB Underwater Cable

Regional Lake Monitoring in Maine: Community Funded Research and Protection
Lakes everywhere are threatened by climate change, harmful algal blooms , invasive species, and other environmental stressors. Local, regional, and federal agencies have stepped up in order to defend the environment and water resources. The Lakes Environmental Association (LEA) in Maine is one example of an organization dedicated to protecting local freshwater resources. Dr. Ben Peierls, LEA Research Director, explains the history of the nonprofit, "For more than 50 years, [LEA] has been working locally, statewide, and regionally, helping or interacting with people on lake water quality, watershed protection, conservation, education, invasive species, and other issues.
Combating Water Insecurity in Saskatchewan with Real-Time Data
The prairies of Saskatchewan can be described as one of the least water-secure parts of Canada, making water quality monitoring essential for informed resource management in a region already facing water insecurity. While natural physical properties worsen some of the poor water quality conditions in the region, others are connected to land use. Having grown up spending summers on the shores of Lake Huron, Helen Baulch, an associate professor at the School of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Saskatchewan , has always been dedicated to the protection of water resources. Looking back fondly at her childhood playing along the shore, Baulch also recalls the invasion of quagga mussels during her teenage years and watching the lake change as a result.
Thin Ice: Year-Long Monitoring in Missouri Reservoirs
The value of multi-lake studies is well understood by international organizations like the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON) and the scientists who work tirelessly to provide data to the larger network. Rebecca North, an associate professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia , is one of many researchers involved in multi-lake research initiatives and conducting research locally in her home state. Having been born and raised on the shore of Lake Ontario, North grew up in a community that revolved around water. She also saw firsthand one of the worst water quality bodies of the world, the Bay of Quinte, decline throughout her lifetime.
