Features
• Conductivity measurements via Toroidal Sensor
• Storage of raw EC, temp and normalised EC to 25 degrees
• Low power usage enables long term remote operation
• Internal data logger for collection of data during critical events
• Telemetry options via mobile phone, radio and satellite
• SDI12 cable adaptor unit for connection into data logger or controller.
Temperature is measured using a highly accurate and stable thermistor. Multi-point linearity and temperature calibration over the full operating ranges ensures stable, repeatable and accurate readings in the field.
The internal data logger allows long term data collection at remote sites, as well as options for remote telemetry connection. The sensor can be fitted with an external cable, or with an on-board battery pack for true stand alone operation. Other cable options can provide serial output in SDI12 format for connection to external data logger or process controller.
Benefits
• Can be installed in active waters (acidic or salty conditions)
• Reliable and robust sensor ensures minimal field visits for maintenance
• Suitable for marine applications and waterways with high sediment loads
• Easy to configure logger – quick retrieval of data
• Graphical and tabular display – export to spreadsheet format.
The sensor is ideal for use in hydrographic and environmental water monitoring applications, including tidal and estuary monitoring. A durable acetal body with double O ring design ensures suitability for the harshest environment applications.
