Water Conductivity Sensors

Water Conductivity Sensors

Campbell Scientific, Inc.

Water conductivity sensors are used in water-quality applications to measure how well a solution conducts an electrical current. This type of measurement assesses the concentration of ions in the solution. The more ions that are in the solution, the higher the conductivity.

Barometric Pressure Sensors

Campbell Scientific, Inc.

Barometric pressure sensors measure fluctuations in the pressure exerted by the atmosphere. The sensors require protection from condensing humidity, precipitation, and water ingress. They are typically housed with the datalogger inside an environmental enclosure. If the enclosure is airtight, the sensor's pressure port must be vented to the atmosphere.

Digital Cameras

Campbell Scientific, Inc.

High-resolution digital cameras with video capabilities are used to take still images or videos based on an internal timer, motion detection, or a trigger from another device. The images or videos are then stored on an SD card, saved in a datalogger's memory, sent to a PC via email, or transmitted to an FTP server.

Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

Campbell Scientific, Inc.

Dissolved oxygen sensors measure the amount of oxygen present in a medium, typically water. The sensors generate signals proportional to the amount of oxygen present, which are then transmitted to dataloggers. Dissolved oxygen is a critical parameter in many aquacultural applications, playing a key role in determining when aerators should be started.

Soil Heat Flux Sensors

Campbell Scientific, Inc.

Soil heat flux sensors may consist of several thermocouples whose measurements are averaged, a single thermopile, or a single thermopile with a film heater. These sensors measure the rate of energy transferred through a surface. Data regarding the amount of energy stored in soil as a function of time is used in energy-balance and Bowen-ratio flux systems.
