SENSORS
Interchangeable Sensors: Enhancing Your Water Monitoring Capabilities
Introducing a range of versatile sensors for the HOBO MX800 Series, including the Conductivity and Temperature Sensor, CTD Sensor, and the upcoming Dissolved Oxygen Sensor. These sensors empower precise water parameter measurements, enabling seamless integration with MX800 loggers for enhanced monitoring efficiency.
Conductivity and Temperature (CT) Sensor
Enhance your water monitoring experience with the versatile Conductivity and Temperature Sensor. This sensor accurately measures conductivity and temperature, enabling precise calculations of specific conductance, salinity, and total dissolved solids (TDS). Simplify data collection with features like a 4-electrode conductivity sensor, central positioning for reduced interference, and durable stainless steel construction for reliable performance in various environments.
Conductivity, Temperature & Depth (CTD) Sensor
Elevate your water monitoring capabilities with the HOBO MX800 Series CTD Sensor. This advanced Conductivity/Temperature/Depth sensor, available in various depths, is designed for precision in freshwater and saltwater environments. The interchangeable CTD sensor offers accurate measurements of conductivity, temperature, and water level, enabling MX800 loggers to calculate specific parameters effortlessly.
Dissolved Oxygen Sensor (DO)
Enhance your monitoring precision with the HOBO MX800 Series DO Sensor. This versatile sensor enables accurate dissolved oxygen (DO) and temperature measurements, seamlessly integrating with MX800 Water Loggers. Pairing with conductivity or CTD sensors allows for salinity-adjusted DO readings, while the MX802 calculates DO percent saturation instantly.
