3. Description. 

 

3.1 Product overview 

 

Inductive method : 

A  ring-type  coil  is  excited  at  fixed  intervals  and  the  response  is  retrieved  on  a  second  coil,  which  is 
linked to the excited coil. The connectivity between the coils (determined by the degree of conductivity) 
takes place via the conducting solution. 

Economic and successful technology that requiring not enough maintenance and not consumable. 

The CTZN sensor offers the following advantages: 
• Low operating costs due to reduced maintenance work (no electrolyte changes) 
• Greater calibration intervals due to low drift behaviour 
•  No  polarization  voltage  required  •  High  measuring  accuracy,  even  for  low  concentrations  •  Rapid 
response times 
The  sensor  features  excellent  interference  immunity  thanks  to  the  integrated  preamplifier  and  digital 
signal  processing.  The  measured  value  for  conductivity  is  automatically  compensated  with  the 
temperature  and  transferred  without  interference  to  the  connected  display  unit  and  controller  via  a 
digital interface. The sensor also includes a log book containing the last ten successful calibrations in 
the form of a ring buffer. 

 

3.2 Applications 

 

The compact and robust sensor is particularly well suited to the following typical areas of application: 
• Urban wastewater treatment  
• Industrial effluent treatment 
• Surface water monitoring 
• Sea water 
• Fish farming
