Data Harvest Wireless Salinity Sensor 1113Pk

A salinity sensor is a conductivity sensor that is used for measuring the total dissolved salt content of ocean or brackish water. The salinity is measured by pulsing a voltage across the electrode plates, the current flow is measured andconverted into a salinity reading. The pulsed voltage prevents electrolysis at the electrode plates, and reducedcontamination and degradation of the electrode plates. The sensor is designed with platinum based electrodes toprovide accuracy and to slow down long term contamination of the electrode material.
