TriOS NICO UV Nitrate Sensor
- Expedited repair and warranty service
- Lifetime technical support
- More
SCHEDULE DEMO- Internal compensation for temperature, turbidity, and organic substances
- RS-485 Modbus RTU output for integration with data collection platforms
- Optional W55 V2 wiper cleans optics & reduces maintenance intervals
Overview
The TriOS NICO is a low-cost UV photometer for online measurement of nitrate in lakes/rivers, drinking water, and wastewater applications. The four detection channels enable a precise optical determination of nitrate by absorption, taking into account turbidity and organic substances that pose a problem for many products currently on the market. An internal temperature correction additionally increases stability of the measured values.
Easy Configuration
The TriOS NICO is compatible with the G2 interface box, allowing fast and easy configuration of the sensors using a web browser. The sensor can be easily integrated into existing process control systems and external data loggers using the native RS-485 Modbus RTU output, and the optional W55 V2 wiper reduces maintenance intervals by cleaning the optics before each measurement.
