Product Information

Key Features

  • Galvanic membrane oxygen probe for continuous in-tank measurement, with a high millivolt output suited to PLC-based control
  • Stated accuracy of ±0.2 mg/L, with self-temperature compensation from 5 to 40 °C on both the 2-wire and 5-wire versions
  • Typically 3 to 6 months between calibration checks; maintenance is a weekly wipe of the membrane with a cloth
  • Two membrane types — Teflon for mg/L measurement (supplied as standard) and polythene for % saturation
  • Heavy-duty sub-sea urethane cable into epoxy-sealed internals, rated to 10 atmospheres
  • High output of 6 to 12 mV per mg/L reduces electrical noise problems over long cable runs
  • Optional PT100 temperature sensor built into the probe on the 5-wire version
  • Choosing your model: pick the cable length by how far the probe sits from the controller — 5 m for a tank-side panel, 10 m or 20 m for a remote switchboard — and order Teflon membranes if you read in mg/L or polythene membranes if you read in % saturation. Allow at least 4 cm/s of water movement across the membrane for a valid reading.
