Conductivity Sensor

Model 5819/5819R, 5990

Inductive salt water conductivity smart sensors for conductivity, temperature and salinity, in 300, 3000 and 6000 m depth ranges.

Description

Aanderaa salt water conductivity sensors use the inductive principle, giving stable measurement without electrodes that are easily fouled. Together with temperature and depth, conductivity provides salinity, density and speed of sound. The smart sensor mounts directly on the SmartGuard/SeaGuard top-end plate, in a string node or via cable, and is recognised automatically.

Key features

  • Inductive measuring principle with no exposed electrodes
  • High accuracy 5819: initial accuracy 0.004 mS/cm and drift of 0.001 mS/cm per month
  • Outputs AiCaP CANbus and RS-232/RS-422
  • Three depth ranges: 300, 3000 and 6000 m

Applications

Salinity, density and sound speed measurement on moorings, sensor strings, buoys and observatories for oceanography, aquaculture and coastal monitoring.

Specifications

Initial accuracy0.004 mS/cm
