STACSENSE: SAC254, BOD, COD, COT
The Spectral Absorption Coefficient (SAC) at 254 nm allows you to determine the organic content of a water sample. By measuring absorption of organic compounds dissolved in water at 254 nm, concentration of TOC, COD and BOD can be correlated. A reference measurement at 530 nm compensates particles presence in the sample and correlates with turbidity. This high-performance solution requires no consumables.

FAQ
Got questions? We’ve got answers. If you have inquiries, feel free to send us an email to sales@waterqualitysensors.comWhat Smart Sensor means, what features do I get?
A smart sensor is intelligent because it processes all the measurement and compensations internally, so the digital data provided is final. You don’t need to connect the sensor to any another device to run a measurement as it works autonomously. Additionally, it has embedded auto diagnostics and stores the calibration coefficients.
Do I need to choose modbus RS485 or SDI12?
No, you don’t need to choose. The sensors come with both protocols at the time so you can decide to use one or another at your will. Nonetheless, Modbus RS485 protocol is superior in speed and allows to access more functions such as calibration, status reading, external compensations or averaging. Contact us if you want more information.
Can I use the sensors for online applications?
Absolutely. The sensors are designed for both online and portable uses. They perfectly work with a handheld for spot measurement but are also well adapted to online monitoring for all kind of applications. If you need more information about installation requirements or further technical details for a specific application, contact us.
How low is the power consumption?
When we mean ultra-low power, we really mean it! Our sensors in standby mode will consume from 25 to 50 µA. At one measurement per second, we speak of 4.4 to 11 mA. The sleeping mode reduces the power drainage, so it makes our probes the perfect solution for autonomous systems such as the ones used in IoT applications for example.
What spare parts and consumibles do I need?
The sensors are designed to last very long. The pH and ORP electrodes can last as long as 18 months, even in harsh conditions. Our optical DO sensor will only need a membrane replacement every 2 years! All other sensors don’t require any consumable and are very stable over time. Operation, maintenance and cost of ownership are reduced to a minimum.
Are the sensors certified?
Yes, our factories are ISO9001:2015 certified and all the sensors do come with CE marking. Our manufacturing processes ensure the highest quality standards. Depending on the measured parameter, some specific certifications or norms are applicable. Should you need more information don’t hesitate to contact us.
