Submersible Installation

Features NPT 3/4" threads compatible with our waterproof tubing. Route the cable through the tubing and screw the device into the waterproof tube's threads.

Note:

  1. Install the water quality sensor considering water level fluctuations, ensuring the device remains at least 10 cm below the water surface. Position it in an area with slow-moving water and minimal bubbles.
  2. Maintain a 5cm clearance from surrounding walls during sensor installation, with no obstructions within 7cm below the sensor.

FAQ

Water quality chlorophyll sensors typically operate based on fluorescence principles. They illuminate chlorophyll molecules in water with light of a specific wavelength, causing them to fluoresce. A detector then receives this fluorescent signal and converts it into chlorophyll concentration. Since fluorescence intensity is directly proportional to chlorophyll content, this enables rapid, continuous online monitoring.

Yes. To ensure measurement accuracy, chlorophyll sensors typically require two-point calibration or zero-point calibration using standard solutions. Regular calibration should be performed based on the application environment, such as every 1–3 months for long-term online monitoring. Calibration steps typically include cleaning the probe, preparing standard solutions, and executing instrument calibration commands. Proper calibration prevents drift caused by optical window contamination or environmental changes.

Chlorophyll measurements may be disrupted by turbidity, suspended solids, bubbles, and biological fouling (algae, debris, etc.). Covered optical windows can cause low readings. Additionally, water temperature fluctuations affect fluorescence intensity, making sensors with temperature compensation more reliable. To minimize errors, regularly clean the probe, avoid vigorous water disturbance, and integrate actual water quality conditions during data analysis.
