Wide Range Oxygen Probe for Direct Connection to Control Unit

OXYBase® WR-RS232

The OXYBase® WR-RS232 combines an optical sensor type PSt3 and electro-optical module in one probe. The optical sensor has a maximum measurement range of 0 - 100 % O2, and a detection limit of 0.03 % O2. This probe is waterproof and can be submerged completely so it is ideally suited for e. g. environmental research applications, aquaculture, and measurements in sewage. It is connected directly to the control unit and uses RS232 as digital interface (PreSens proprietary). A serial communication protocol is offered for data exchange between the probe and a PC or other host unit. For initial operation the PreSens EOM-STS software can be used. The probe's sensor is integrated in a removable sensor cap (OEC). These exchange caps are available in different versions for certain demands (fast response time, safe for food applications, for measurements in aggressive environments, USP Class VI compatible). The sensor is not autoclavable.

Applications

Oxygen Monitoring in Aquaculture

OXYBase® are the solution to control dissolved oxygen in aquaculture. The robust probes can be connected to control units so ideal water conditions can be assured, thus also helping to increase yield. OXYBase® are real low-maintenance probes, as a used sensor can simply be replaced by changing the OEC at the probe tip.


OXYBase® in Biological & Environmental Research

OXYBase® are long-term stable probes that can be implanted in soil or other samples for prolonged time periods. They are ideally suited for long-term monitoring of e. g. soil aeration processes, which are very critical for plant productivity, or dissolved oxygen measurements in water samples.
