Request a QuoteProduct Overview
The TL-NO Series uses UV absorption spectroscopy to measure nitrate and nitrite concentrations without reagents. Reagent-free operation reduces maintenance costs and eliminates chemical waste.
Working Principle
The sensor uses a continuous online measurement principle with automatic temperature compensation. The measurement signal is processed by an integrated microprocessor and transmitted via RS485 Modbus RTU for direct integration with PLCs, data loggers, and SCADA systems. The 4–20 mA analog output provides compatibility with legacy control systems.
