Onset W-CTD-01

Our Part No. WCTD01

Mfr. Model W-CTD-01

The Onset W-CTD-01 HOBO Conductivity/Temperature/Depth Sensor is designed for use with the HOBO MX800 Series Water Data Loggers (not included). The W-CTD-01 works with the HOBO MX800 Series Water Data Loggers to measure conductivity, temperature, and water level.

Depth Range: Up to 9m (30 ft.)
Centrally located conductivity sensor minimizes effects from stilling wells/protective guards
Temperature sensor placement near tip for fast response time

This product is available for shipping to the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico only.

Details

The Onset W-CTD-01 Conductivity/Temperature/Depth Sensor is designed for use with the HOBO MX800 Series Water Data Loggers (not included). Along with the data logger, this unit requires the HOBOconnect app and a compatible mobile device or Windows computer for full usage.

The W-CTD-01 is an interchangeable sensor that works with HOBO MX800 Series Water Data Loggers to measure conductivity, temperature, and water level. With this sensor attached to a HOBO MX800 Series Water Data Logger, the logger can calculate specific conductance, salinity, and total dissolved solids (TDS).

The W-CTD-01 can be directly attached directly to the fully submersible MX801 model. Additionally, this unit can be attached via cable to the direct read MX802 model which does not require having to pull the sensor out of the water to download recorded data.
