TriOS UV Nitrate Sensor Integration Guide
TriOS UV Nitrate Sensors are in-situ UV photometers that measure nitrate in lakes/rivers, drinking water, and wastewater applications. Nitrate is measured using the common principles of UV optical absorption utilized in laboratories worldwide. The sensors are compatible with X-Series data loggers over the RS-485 sensor interface using the Modbus-RTU communication protocol. Below is information on […]
X-Series Logger Supported Sensors
All X-Series data logger systems incorporate multiple waterproof UW sensor ports with available sensor interfaces including SDI-12, RS-485 and RS-232. This allows for compatibility with a wide range of sensors and data transmission protocols such as SDI-12, NMEA0183 and Modbus. Many compatible sensors can be automatically detected by X-Series loggers, while others require custom configurations […]
UW-6 Power Bulkhead Connector Assembly Wiring
CB-Series Buoys supplied with a CB-PTL Pass-Through Lid for integration of user-supplied electronics include a UW-6 power bulkhead connector (UW6-BULK) port on the lid. The UW6-BULK connects to the solar tower on the outside of the buoy and has bare wires with Molex connector on the inside of the data well. Information regarding the port […]
