Oxygen Probe with Two Analog Outputs for O2 and Temperature

OXYBase® WR-RS485M-2CS

The OXYBase® WR-RS485M-2CS combines a wide range optical sensor (type PSt3) and the electro-optical module in one probe. The sensor has a maximum measurement range of 0 - 100 % O2, and a detection limit of 0.03 % O2. With two current source analog outputs the probe can transmit oxygen as well as temperature values measured with the integrated temperature sensor. Therefore, this waterproof probe is ideally suited for measurements in aquaculture or environmental research. The probe can be connected directly to a control unit. It uses RS485 as digital interface (Modbus). Using a special adapter the probe can be connected to a PC for initial operation and adjustment of the 4 - 20 mA (current source) outputs with the free PreSens EOM-STS software. The probe is available with various cable lengths, and the optical sensor is integrated in a removable cap (OEC), which can easily be exchanged.

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.
