• Aquaculture systems

Technical Specifications

The Cl-100 delivers precise chloride measurements from 1.8 to 35,500 mg/L with automatic temperature compensation via the integrated PT1000 sensor. The ion-selective membrane provides exceptional selectivity for chloride ions, making it ideal for monitoring in complex water matrices.

The fast response time of less than 30 seconds enables real-time monitoring and rapid process adjustments.

Understanding Chloride Monitoring

Chloride monitoring is crucial for:

• Corrosion Control: High chloride levels accelerate metal corrosion in pipes and equipment
• Water Quality: Monitoring salt intrusion in freshwater sources
• Taste and Odor: Chloride affects the palatability of drinking water (> 250 mg/L)
• Environmental Protection: Tracking salt pollution from road deicing and industrial discharge
• Process Control: Managing chloride levels in industrial water systems

Connectivity and Integration

With its RS485 Modbus RTU interface, the Cl-100 seamlessly integrates into modern SCADA systems and IoT networks. The 4-20mA current output option ensures compatibility with traditional industrial controllers and data acquisition systems.

Installation and Maintenance

The Cl-100 requires minimal maintenance. Regular calibration with standard chloride solutions ensures continued accuracy. The robust IP68-rated construction allows for continuous immersion in water systems, including seawater environments.
