ST 6115 Optical Dissolved Oxygen Probe

This unique submersible probe has been designed to measure dissolved oxygen based on fluorescent technology.

The measuring system consists of:

optical device complete with a layer of fluorescence detection,
electronic circuit with an exciting beam for the fluorescence detection,
built-in 2-wire 4/20 mA transmitter;
digital input for calibration and configuration
nozzle for the autoclean by external pressure air

The automatic temperature compensation is done internally by means of a built-in sensor.

Thanks to its 4/20 mA isolated output, the probe can be directly connected to a PLC or data logger, without using amplifiers or other devices.

The probe can be connected to any controller which provides the power to the probe.

The most common applications of this probe include: water quality monitoring, municipal and industrial water treatment and aquaculture.

Principle of operation

A light beam of a specific wavelength is sent to a special fluorescent layer in contact with the sample.
The absorbed light energy is partially released as a light pulse with a higher wavelength.
This phenomena is called fluorescence.

If oxygen molecules are in contact with the sensing layer, the fluorescing is reduced (quenching).

By measuring the amount of quenching it is possible to determine the oxygen concentration.

The advantages of this measuring method are the absence of electrolyte and membrane, the possibility to measure the oxygen concentration in water or in air, and a good sensitivity in a low oxygen concentration.
