Description
EC-1550 digital conductivity & temp sensor.
The EC-1550 digital conductivity and temp sensor is well suited for low power operations where access and site visits are limited. Unlike conventional electrode-based cells, the encapsulated toroid design requires very little maintenance, ensuring many years of accurate data collection without recalibration, and the delrin-tube design and embedded temperature sensors avoid issues of degradation due to corrosion. The full-scale range of the sensor is specified and calibrated from the factory (choose a full-scale range from 500 to 75,000µS/cm) and the temperature sensor can be factory set to compensate the EC output reading.
The uncompensated 4-20mA EC (electrical conductivity) and temperature outputs are still available in the cable or optional waterproof connector, and our implementation of SDI-12 allows signal cable runs of over 500m. Reliability, low maintenance, and with smart digital controls makes the EC-1550 sensor is the logical evolution of conductivity monitoring.
The sensor is available with a sealed cable of customer-specified length as standard, or it can be optionally fitted with a waterproof socket, and a matching cable plug can be supplied.
