The U-50 series system uses ancillary components having a long service life between replacements to ensure high maintainability. Moreover, it is designed to be waterproof for the highest robustness. The U-50 series therefore enables any person to measure water quality easily, accurately and at low cost even under adverse conditions where measurement is difficult.
Product Features
• High sensitive turbidity sensor incorporated (U-52, U-53).
• Membrane cap makes stress-free maintenance when dissolved oxygen sensor replacement.
• Hand-held transmitter and sensor probe enable one-handed operation to make easy operation and data confirmation.
• One touch calibration makes easy maintenance for pH, DO, conductivity, turbidity, and water depth
The U-50 series system is a portable water quality measuring instrument comprising a sensor probe and main unit with measurement and display functions.
Features of the new series system include:
• Both the sensor probe and main unit offer robust construction, enabling measurements under adverse conditions.
• Up to 11 water quality parameters can be measured simultaneously on-site using a single system (U-53/53G).
The system’s turbidity sensor (U-53/53G) is equipped with a wiper and high-intensity tungsten lamp as the light source that provides tenfold sensitivity, higher than that of the conventional counterpart. This enables accurate turbidity measurements even in clear water where bubbles could cause measurement errors. Because of this feature, the U-53/53G system can be used to test the turbidity of drinking water, in addition to monitoring and controlling environmental water quality, which is the main function of the conventional counterpart.
Due to the long-life sensor probe and reference solution elaborately prepared for simultaneous calibration for five ingredients of water, the U-50 series system is easy to maintain and manipulate, promising long-term reliable measurements even in remote locations far away from towns, i.e., the system is suitable for use anywhere in the world as a global environmental monitoring instrument.
Because of these functions and features, the U-50 series water quality measuring system is expected to be adopted in a wide variety of sectors, from professional research institutes and developing countries to non-profit organisations and general citizens, for contributing to the protection of the global water environment.
Measurement items
1. Hydrogen-ion concentration (pH): An indicator of a liquid’s property. The U-50 series system indicates this property in terms of acid, alkali or neutral.
2. Dissolved oxygen (DO): The concentration of oxygen dissolved in a liquid, an indicator of eutrophication
3. Conductivity (COND): Total ion concentration, an indicator of contamination level
4. Turbidity (TURB): An indicator of the amount of contaminants or water turbidity [Not applicable to Model U-51]
Note: Model U-53/53G contains a tungsten lamp as the light source to ensure high-precision turbidity measurements.
5. Oxidation/reduction potential (ORP): An indicator of oxidation tendency (or reduction power)
6. Salinity
7. Specific gravity of seawater
8. Total dissolved solids (TDS)
9. Water temperature
10. Water depth [Not applicable to Model U-51]
11. GPS (Location measurement by the built-in global positioning system): [Applicable only to Model G-53G/52G]
