Overview

High-quality COD sensors are specifically designed for precise detection of organic pollutants in water quality, utilizing the proven UV dual-wavelength absorption principle. Selectable COD ranges include 0~200, 0~500, or 0~2000 mg/L, along with turbidity ranges of 0~200/400/1000 NTU. Accuracy reaches ±5% of reading, maintaining stable performance even in complex water conditions. The water quality sensor provides RS485 and optional 4–20mA outputs for seamless integration into industrial control systems.

Installation Method

COD sensor installation method

  1. When installing COD sensors, avoid sensor impacts against walls or other hydraulic structures caused by water flow. If the flow is strong, secure the sensor.
  2. Install water quality sensors no deeper than 2 meters below the water surface.
  3. To account for water level fluctuations, submerge the sensor at least 30 cm below the lowest possible water level.
  4. Position the sensor in the water where no bubbles are present.

Note: It is recommended to install a cable protector around the water quality sensor cable. The COD water quality sensor can be oriented in any direction within the water; however, it is advisable to mount it horizontally and securely, with the measurement area facing the direction of water flow.

FAQ

Many organic substances dissolved in water absorb ultraviolet light. Therefore, by measuring the absorption of ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 254nm by these organic substances, the concentration of dissolved organic pollutants in water can be accurately determined. The water quality COD sensor employs dual light sources: one UV light source measures COD concentration in water, while the other reference light source measures water turbidity. Additionally, a specific algorithm compensates for optical path attenuation and can partially eliminate interference from particulate suspended impurities, thereby achieving more stable and reliable measurements.

COD sensors can be used in water bodies containing a certain amount of suspended solids. However, if water turbidity is excessively high, it may cause increased light scattering, leading to elevated measurements. Therefore, in scenarios such as industrial wastewater or combined sewer systems, it is recommended to pair the sensor with a filtration device or an automatic scraping cleaning mechanism to ensure the optical window remains clean. Additionally, certain models incorporate turbidity compensation algorithms to maintain high measurement accuracy in complex water conditions. When selecting equipment, evaluate water quality characteristics and on-site installation constraints.

Common COD sensors support RS485 (Modbus-RTU) digital output, enabling direct connection to PLCs, RTUs, data loggers, and IoT monitoring platforms. Some models also support 4–20 mA analog output, suitable for traditional industrial control systems. During wiring, pay attention to power polarity, communication A/B line correspondence, and ensure stable supply voltage. For outdoor deployment, implement waterproofing, lightning protection, and grounding to ensure long-term reliable system operation.
