REAL SPECTRUM SENSOR
Real Tech’s Spectrum sensor utilizes UV-VIS light between 190-750 nm for measurement, continuously scanning the water every minute of every day collecting hundreds of data points. The sensor benefits from Real Tech’s innovative Split-Sense Pro technology that compensates for lamp drift and fluctuations, providing an accurate and stable output overtime. PL series spectrum sensor parameters include BOD, COD, TOC, DOC, UV254, UVT, TSS, nitrate, nitrite, nitrite & nitrate, algae, permanganate, monochloramine, colour, dyes, pesticides, polymers, oil in water, diesel fuel, BTEX, surfactants, soaps, black liquor, H2S, O3, THM, HAA, contaminant alarms, spectral fingerprint, custom alarm and more, dependant on application and industry.
