Groundwater level, temperature and conductivity (CTD) Sensors
The KELLER Series 36XW-CTD is a high-precision multiparameter probe for the simultaneous measurement of water level, temperature and electrical conductivity in groundwater and surface water applications.
Combining three key measurements within a compact 22 mm diameter stainless steel probe, the 36XW-CTD is particularly suited to long-term environmental monitoring, groundwater investigations and applications where changes in water level and conductivity need to be monitored together.
Digital communication via RS-485 enables integration with telemetry systems and data loggers, while the probe can be configured and monitored using KELLER software.
