Description
The Campbell Scientific CS547A probe with the A547 Interface measures the electrical conductivity (EC) and temperature of water. EC is measured by three passivated cylindrical electrodes isolated from DC with capacitors. Temperature is sensed with a thermistor.
The CS547A is easy to clean and resistant to corrosion. It has rounded ends to facilitate installation and removal.
Dissolved solids can be estimated from conductivity measurements using empirical conversion factors.
KEY FEATUREs
On-line calculation of electrical conductivity
Direct connection to datalogger
Cable length up to 300m
Can be used with multiplexers
Typical Applications
Water quality monitoring
Calculation of stream discharge rate
Tracking of water-borne pollutants in aquifers
