ND-OPTOD Optical Dissolved Oxygen & Temperature Sensor

What is the ND-OPTOD? The ND-OPTOD is a precision optical dissolved oxygen and temperature sensor designed for long-term unattended water quality monitoring. The optical luminescence method requires no membrane, no electrolyte and no frequent calibration — making it ideal for wastewater treatment, industrial effluent, open water monitoring, fish farming and drinking water supply networks connected to the yDoc ML-525 datalogger.

Applications

Where the ND-OPTOD is used

Wastewater treatment

Continuous DO monitoring in aeration tanks for nitrification, denitrification and energy optimisation.

Industrial effluent

Compliance monitoring of treated industrial discharge before release to receiving waters.

Open water monitoring

Long-term DO and temperature in lakes, rivers and reservoirs for environmental surveillance.

Fish farming & aquaculture

Critical DO data for fish welfare and feed/aeration management in commercial aquaculture.

Drinking water

Source water quality and reservoir monitoring for municipal drinking water systems.

Integration

Powered by the yDoc ML-525 datalogger

The ND-OPTOD connects directly to the yDoc ML-525 datalogger. The yDoc powers the sensor, schedules measurements, stores readings locally and transmits them to the Sensor-Online platform via 4G/LTE-M, NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, satellite or Ethernet — with up to 10 years of battery life.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the ND-OPTOD

What does the ND-OPTOD measure?+
The ND-OPTOD is a water monitoring sensor that optical dissolved oxygen sensor without membrane or electrolyte. The optical method delivers minimal calibration drift and very low maintenance — ideal for long-term unattended monitoring. It connects directly to the yDoc ML-525 datalogger for reliable remote data acquisition.
How often does it need calibration?+
Each ND-OPTOD ships factory-calibrated against traceable references. Recalibration intervals depend on the application; contact our team for guidance on your specific deployment requirements.
Why optical DO instead of membrane?+
The ND-OPTOD is well suited for drinking water, wastewater & stormwater, surface water & ecology and similar applications. For your specific use case, our application engineers can recommend the right sensor and configuration.
