AquaSense-NO3

Reagent-free ion-selective sensor configurable for nitrate (NO3-), and on order also NH4+, K+, Ca2+, and other ions, with RS485 / Modbus output for environmental monitoring.

AquaSense-NO3 is the ion-selective electrode (ISE) version of the AquaSense family. It is factory-configurable for nitrate as the default channel — and, on order, for ammonium (NH4+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), and other common environmental ions — making it a flexible reagent-free tool for nutrient and ion monitoring.

Overview

AquaSense-NO3 is the ion-selective version of the AquaSense water-quality family. With nitrate (NO3-) as the default channel, it can also be ordered with NH4+, K+, Ca2+, and other common environmental ion-selective membranes — making it a flexible single-platform tool for surface water, drinking water, and wastewater monitoring. The reagent-free design avoids consumables and chemical waste.

The sensor supports custom calibration with user-supplied standard solutions and can be configured with either forward or reverse calibration curves. An isolated power-supply architecture provides strong data stability, and the RS485 / Modbus RTU interface integrates directly into existing telemetry and SCADA systems.
