RDO Core IC is an OEM offer featuring In-Situ’s patented Rugged Dissolved Oxygen technology. Our optical DO sensor technology has been proven effective through extensive lab testing, and the methodology has been approved by the United States EPA. Renowned for its reliability, accuracy, and durability, even in the harshest environments, our RDO Technology includes Smart Sensor Caps for simple, error-free maintenance, Abrasion Resistance to extend the life and compatible conditions of the cap, Instant Hydration Conditioning, Smart Addressing and more.
RDO Core IC combines In-Situ’s industry-leading RDO Technology with conductivity, temperature and pressure sensors to offer a 4-in-1 solution. With a sub-2-inch insertion depth and optimized diameter, this compact and cost-effective module fits easily into autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), underwater cameras and other submersible devices without interfering with other internal electronics. This core allows power input of 5-36V to support both external and internal power supplies, making it compatible with a wide range of devices, including battery-powered machines.
RDO Core IC includes integrated salinity compensation to maintain highly-accurate DO measurements in environments with fluctuating salinity levels. There’s no need to change salinity values between calibration and deployment, making RDO Core IC ideal for use in aquaculture applications, brackish water bodies and other environments where variable salinity can affect dissolved oxygen readings.
RDO luminescence-quenching sensors have been proven effective through extensive lab testing, and the methodology has been approved by the United States EPA. RDO sensors do not consume oxygen and do not require water movement for accurate measurements.
Smart Sensor Cap
RDO sensing foils are calibrated at 90 discrete points, and the calibration coefficients are stored in the replaceable cap. Simply press it on and you’re ready to go – no data entry or extra steps needed.
Abrasion Resistance
A unique, three-layer system provides unmatched chemical and abrasion resistance, extending the life of the sensor cap and expanding the range of compatible conditions.
Instant Hydration Conditioning
RDO sensors do not require 12-24 hours of hydration conditioning and read accurately within 90 seconds of going from dry to wet conditions.
Integrated Salinity Compensation
Salinity compensation is directly integrated into the module to maintain highly-accurate DO readings in environments with fluctuating salinity levels.
Enhanced Reliability
A fully-potted backend protects connected electronics from accidental water ingress. Supports to offload mechanical stress reinforce durability of the device.
Fast Response Sensors
Sensors reach stability quickly for accurate readings with minimal wait time.
