Description

The DS500 COD Sensor employs dual-wavelength UV254 absorption technology to provide accurate, real-time measurements of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Organic Carbon (TOC), and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) without the need for hazardous chemical reagents. This eco-friendly design minimizes operational costs and environmental impact while delivering continuous data.

Engineered for durability in demanding environments, the sensor features a robust SS316 stainless steel or titanium body with an IP68 rating, making it suitable for submersion and exposure to corrosive elements. Its integrated self-cleaning wiper and automatic turbidity compensation ensure stable, low-maintenance operation and reliable readings in varying water conditions, from wastewater treatment plants to surface water monitoring stations.

Key Features

  • Reagent-Free UV Absorption: Utilizes UV254nm light source for eco-friendly, chemical-free detection of organic pollutants.
  • Multi-Parameter Capability: Simultaneously monitors COD, BOD, TOC, TSS, and water temperature.
  • Automatic Compensation & Cleaning: Built-in turbidity compensation and a mechanical self-cleaning system ensure long-term accuracy and reduce maintenance.
  • Industrial Communication: Standard RS485 interface with Modbus RTU protocol for easy connection to PLCs, SCADA, and data acquisition systems.
  • Rugged Environmental Design: IP68 waterproof rating and corrosion-resistant SS316/Titanium construction for reliable operation in harsh conditions.
  • Low Power Consumption: Operates on a 6–12V DC supply with less than 10mA current draw.
  • Flexible Installation: Standard 5-meter cable length (customizable) and compact form factor for easy deployment.
  • High Accuracy Sensing: Delivers measurements with 3–5% of full-scale accuracy across its operating range.

Applications

  • Wastewater Treatment Plant Monitoring: Continuous real-time measurement of COD and BOD for process control and effluent compliance.
  • Surface Water Quality Assessment: Deploy in rivers, lakes, and reservoirs for environmental monitoring of organic pollution.
  • Industrial Effluent Monitoring: Track pollutant loads in discharge streams from chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing facilities.
  • Municipal Water Management: Integrate into smart water networks for source water protection and distribution system monitoring.
  • Aquaculture & Aquaponics: Monitor water quality to maintain optimal conditions for fish and plant health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power requirement for the DS500 COD sensor?

The DS500 operates on a 6–12V DC power supply and draws less than 10mA of current. Ensure your power source is stable and properly rated for the sensor's low power consumption to guarantee accurate and reliable operation.

How do I communicate with and read data from this sensor?

The sensor communicates via a standard RS485 interface using the Modbus RTU protocol. You will need an RS485-to-USB converter or a PLC with an RS485 port to connect it to a computer or control system. Data registers for COD, TSS, and temperature can be polled using standard Modbus function codes.

Does the sensor require chemical reagents for measurement?

No, the DS500 uses a reagent-free UV254 absorption method. It measures the absorption of ultraviolet light at 254nm by organic compounds in the water, providing an eco-friendly and low-maintenance alternative to traditional chemical-based COD analysis.

What is the purpose of the automatic cleaning system?

The integrated self-cleaning system uses a mechanical wiper to periodically clean the optical window. This prevents biofilm growth, fouling, and Particle buildup, which can interfere with light transmission and degrade measurement accuracy, especially in turbid or high-fouling water applications.

Can this sensor be used in submerged or outdoor installations?

Yes, the sensor's IP68 rating and corrosion-resistant SS316/Titanium housing make it suitable for permanent submersion and harsh outdoor environments. It is designed for continuous monitoring in wastewater treatment basins, outfalls, rivers, and other demanding water quality applications.
