OD-10 Optical Dissolved Oxygen Meter
Measurement of dissolved oxygen for aeration flow rate control at sewage treatment plants and monitoring of water quality at rivers,lakes,and etc.

- Light emission lifetime evaluation system to ensure long-term stable measurement without being affected by temporal change of the light source.
- No incident flow is required because the OD-10 optical system does not consume oxygen during measurement.
- Easy maintenance with no use of electrolyte solution.
- No re-configuration of the detector is needed when replacing the sensing cartridge, because the characteristic parameters of sensing membrane are stored on a memory chip in each sensing cartridge.
- Easy operation with large icon switches on the CV-200 converter.

Measuring Principle
- The sensing membrane emits light by returning to the ground state after the sensing material is excited by the excitation light. The light-emission depends on the oxygen concentration around the sensing membrane.
- The long-term stable measurement can be conducted by use of the reference light which gives standard light-emission.
The lower the oxygen concentration around the sensing membrane, the longer the light emission lifetime, and vice versa. Thus the OD-10 evaluates the light emission lifetime which is correlated to the oxygen concentration.
