Intelligent Water Quality Sensors
Water Quality / Environmental Monitoring Sensors
The Intelligent ARGES Fluoro-pH Sensor by Keynes Controls is a submersible, fluorescent-based sensor built to simplify the acquisition of water quality measurement parameters. It integrates into any platform that supports real-time reporting and data logging operations. Fully compliant with Section 82 of the UK Environment Act 2021, it delivers dependable, long-term stable measurements for stand-alone submerged pH monitoring.
Unlike traditional glass-bulb devices, this sensor offers long-term stable measurements without recalibration and uses no reference cells or reagents that can drift or degrade. It also supports dry long-term storage with immediate deployment, so there is no waiting for the sensor to rehydrate before use.
