pHionics STs Series™ Dissolved Oxygen sensor
3rd Party Sensor, HOBO RX Station-Compatible
Temporarily Unavailable
Important Information
25-foot cable included. Manufactured and distributed by a third party, pHionics, this sensor can deliver real-time data to the LI-COR Cloud remote monitoring platform when connected to a cellular HOBO RX station via the Analog Module or with a HOBOnet wireless sensor network's Analog Mote.

Overview
The pHionics STs Series™ Dissolved Oxygen sensor accurately measures dissolved oxygen and temperature (0-50°C) over long periods of time with little maintenance required. These measurements are output via two noise-resistant 4-20 mA signals that easily connect to HOBO stations and HOBOnet motes with analog inputs. Available ranges are 0-20 mg/L or 0-200% saturation depending on the scaling you enter.
A narrow diameter allows the STs Series to go where other sensors cannot while the durable, chemical-resistant housing ensures many years in-use. The electrode tip (anode) has a large surface area that improves oxygen exchange consistency across the membrane while reducing the frequency of fouling.
In contrast to other dissolved oxygen sensors that require membrane and reference solution replacement every 3-6 months, the STs Series Dissolved Oxygen sensor typically only requires electrode replacement every 2-3 years. In addition, the rugged Teflon® membrane resists scratches and tears that would put other sensors out of commission. When electrode replacement is needed, the procedure can be done within 30 seconds, as shown in the video below. All these features save you the time of having to perform maintenance.
