Description

For added flexibility, the OS316S can be easily interfaced/integrated on buoys, ROVs and AUVs, thus making this probe an ideal choice for both on-line profiling and self-recording moored applications. Optional data telemetry is available for on-line full ocean depth, real-time communications. The OS316S can optionally accommodate analogue and digital inputs dedicated to interface external sensors.

Conductivity Cell:

The high accuracy seven-platinum-ring quartz conductivity cell (patented) can be cleaned in the field without the need for re-calibration. This unique quartz cell employs a large diameter (8mm) and a short length (46mm) to guarantee self-flushing and no clogging after long-term deployment even in biologically active waters. Furthermore, optionally two UV-LED (Ultraviolet, 280 nm @500μW, Light-Emitting Diode) are integrated into the conductivity cell, sterilizing the sample under measurement, thus avoiding the early growth of biofouling inside the quartz measuring cell.
