    The WQ-FDO Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor provides highly accurate and stable dissolved oxygen measurements using proven green light optical technology. It has many advantages over traditional sensors such as a one year sensor life without needing replacement parts, insensitivity to water flow, and stable electronics requiring only annual calibration. The sensor outputs dual 4-20 mA signals for dissolved oxygen concentration and temperature and is suitable for a wide range of applications from environmental monitoring to industrial processes.
