Digital optical dissolved oxygen sensor for field water monitoring incl. level

DX 532

Optical dissolved oxygen sensor for field depth profiles, measuring 0.0 ... 500.0 % O2 sat and 0.00 ... 50.00 mg/l with hydrostatic depth measurement, IP68 protection and digital DX interface.

Introduction

Oxygen profiling in wastewater, sea water aquafarming and natural waters demands a sensor that keeps working where handling is difficult and flow conditions change. DX 532 uses an optical measuring principle, so oxygen readings do not depend on chemical substances or a minimum flow at the membrane.
 
For field teams, the integrated hydrostatic depth measurement adds direct value: oxygen saturation profiles can be recorded down to nearly 30 m, helping identify thermoclines and separate oxygen-rich epilimnion from oxygen-lacking hypolimnion. The sensor measures oxygen saturation, oxygen concentration, temperature and pressure, with automatic temperature compensation and user-input salinity compensation.

Built for demanding outdoor use, DX 532 combines an IP68 protection degree with a PPS housing, fixed PUR cable and M12 DX sensor connection. The fully digital DX interface connects it to PRO-Line meters, including multi-channel setups for evaluating several digital sensors in parallel.

Easy to use
Optical measurement needs no chemicals and no minimum flow at the membrane.
Field-ready design
IP68 protection and PPS housing for use in wastewater and sea water aquafarming. Membrane protector GSKA 532 included.
Depth profiles
Hydrostatic depth measurement records oxygen profiles down to nearly 30 m.

Features

Optical measurement principle

The sensor uses luminescence quenching to measure dissolved oxygen without consuming oxygen at the measuring membrane.

Measured parameters

The probe measures oxygen saturation, oxygen concentration, temperature and pressure, including a hydrostatic channel for depth.

Automatic compensation

Temperature is compensated automatically. Salinity compensation uses user input from 2... 42 ppt. Pressure compensation automatically as well.
