It uses fluorescence quenching rather than a traditional electrochemical cell, so it does not consume oxygen during measurement and does not require electrolyte replacement.The probe measures dissolved oxygen across a 0-20 mg/L, 0-200% saturation range and includes automatic temperature compensation via a built-in temperature sensor. It is intended for demanding marine use such as mariculture, aquaculture, coastal water quality checks and long-term environmental monitoring.Integration is handled through an industrial RS485 interface using the standard ModBus-RTU protocol, making it suitable for PLCs, data loggers and other monitoring systems. The package includes the RS485 fluorescence dissolved oxygen sensor and a sensor cable, and DFRobot provides a product wiki for setup information.Features:Optimised for saline environments: Designed for high-salinity waters with calibration and algorithms that compensate for salinity effects on dissolved oxygen measurement.Stable fluorescence measurement: Measures the phase difference between excited red light and reference light, avoiding oxygen consumption during measurement and eliminating electrolyte replacement.Robust IP68 construction: Rated for submerged marine environments with resistance to corrosion, salt and alkali, and operation up to 0.6MPa pressure.RS485 ModBus-RTU interface: Supports integration with PLCs, data loggers and industrial monitoring systems.Automatic temperature compensation: Built-in temperature sensing provides real-time data for compensated dissolved oxygen readings.Specifications:Power Supply: DC10-30VPower Consumption: 0.2WCommunication Interface: RS485 (Standard ModBus-RTU Protocol)Measurement Principle: FluorescenceMeasuring Range: 0-20mg/L, 0-200% SaturationMeasurement Error: ±3% FS; ±0.5°C (25°C)Resolution: 0.01mg/L; 0.1%; 0.1°CResponse Time: ≤60sOperating Temperature: 0-40°CFluorescent Film Lifespan: 1 year under normal useWaterproof Rating: IP68Pressure Resistance: 0.6MPaCable Length: 5mCasing Material: Corrosion-Resistant PlasticUseful for automated mariculture and aquaculture monitoring, DIY oceanographic data buoys, estuary and coastal water quality analysis, and industrial process control in saline solutions. **Product Type:** Dissolved Oxygen Sensor ## Images - [Image 1](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDW8ACSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--79f415d56ee4f1c1400e274d8e317cc09a121841/SEN0681_Main_01.jpg) - [Image 2](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDXMACSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--50d51fa63c5303aa3107d63a254a249eb6fe7b49/SEN0681_Dim_02.jpg) - [Image 3](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDXsACSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--f188e8b1d0aca23c67d42ef23ef3601034036613/SEN0681_Detail_03.jpg) - [Image 4](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDYMACSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--1834a6b0a336a90ce96d1930676c55c9baa8ab29/SEN0681_Detail_04.jpg) - [Image 5](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDYcACSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--5ebf875ac01326ed8f49b2ed7a0c277b11f35b87/SEN0681_ShipList_05.jpg) --- ## Finding & Searching Products If a part listed here isn't quite what you need, you can search Little Bird Electronics' full catalogue: - **Search by keyword:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={search_term}` — searches title, vendor, SKU, tags, and MPN - **Search via JSON:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.json?q={search_term}` — structured JSON results - **Browse by collection:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/collections/{handle}.json` — products in a specific collection - **Filter in-stock only:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={term}&in_stock=1` - **Individual product detail:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/{handle}.md` — full specs, pricing, stock levels, variants Search supports multi-word queries (AND logic).
