- The OTT PLS-C measures water conductivity, level, and temperature in both surface and groundwater applications with a robust ceramic pressure cell and 4-electrode conductivity cell. Its extremely low power consumption makes it ideal for long-term deployment, particularly at solar powered measuring stations for ground-and surface waters.
- Application: Surface water, Groundwater
- Measurement technology: Vented pressure cell and 4-electrode graphite conductivity cell
- Parameters measured: Water level, Pressure, Conductivity, Temperature
- Product Highlights: Water level, temperature, and conductivity measurement - for use with external data logger
- Internal data logger: No
- Interface: SDI-12 or RS-485 (using SDI-12)
- The robust ceramic pressure cell offers industry-leading accuracy and does not deform over time like membrane technology, providing long-term measurement stability
- Rugged design: Ceramic pressure cell resistant to physical force (4 x burst pressure) and enclosure made of high-quality saltwater resistant steel for use in coastal environments
- Vented pressure probe, automatically compensates for changes in barometric pressure
- Robust cable with Kevlar core for length stabilization and capillary tube for venting
- Built-in microcontroller – compensates for temperature effects and applies correction values for gravitational acceleration or water density
- Simple setup and connection to external dataloggers using SDI-12
- Water level, temperature, and conductivity measurement of:
+ Groundwater wells
+ Streams, rivers, channels, and canals
+ Reservoirs, lakes, and wetlands
- Ideal for monitoring:
+ Continuous monitoring networks
+ Short-term or long-term projects
+ Salt water intrusion
+ Aquifer storage and recovery
+ Estuaries and wetlands
