RBRcoda OpH:
Optical pH

The RBRcoda OpH is an optical pH sensor that measures the response of a pH-sensitive foil. It is best suited for mooring applications. Rated to 6000m depths and straightforward to integrate, it is one solution for all deployments. The temperature channel compensates the foil and also provides an independent temperature output.

  • High sensitivity
  • Low power consumption
  • Optimised dynamic range (7 to 9pHT)
  • Compact and lightweight
  • Cabled version with MCBH-6-MP / RS-232 output
  • Depths up to 6000m
