Utilising the AWQ-C4E Sensor in a custom IoT (Internet of Things)
The SNiP-SAL is a ‘Sensor Node Integrated Package’ for LoRaWAN or CAT-M1 communication of real-time salinity, TDS, conductivity and temperature measurements for continuous water quality monitoring.
The base SNiP-SAL integrates 1x AWQ-C4E Sensor with 1x S-NODE to a site’s unique network, communication and power requirements. The S-NODE can support an added 3x compatible sensors.
4 ELECTRODES
The AWQ-C4E sensor uses 4 electrode technology: an alternating current of constant voltage is established between the primary pair of graphite electrodes. The secondary platinum electrodes allow for voltage regulation of the primary electrodes to reflect fouling.
The voltage measured between the primary electrodes is a function of the resistance of the material, and thus, the conductivity.
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
The AWQ-C4E sensor stores calibration and history data within the sensor. This allows for a plug and play system without the need for re-calibration.
The AWQ-C4E can be connected to most Dataloggers, Controllers, Automation Systems and Alarms via Modbus RS485 or SDI-12.
