Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the importance of measuring oxygen in aquatic environments due to its role in biological and chemical processes. Oxygen measurement is crucial in areas with limited oxygen supply compared to demand, such as shallow coastal areas with algae blooms, fjords, fish farms, and areas of waste dumping.

Oxygen Optode Technology
The AADI Aanderaa oxygen optodes utilize dynamic fluorescence quenching with a platinum porphyrin complex in a gas-permeable foil. This technology offers advantages over electro-chemical sensors, including no stirring sensitivity, less fouling, absolute oxygen concentration measurement without repeated calibrations, better long-term stability, predictable pressure behavior, and faster response time.

Specifications and Features
The Oxygen Optode 4330/4330F is a compact sensor for measuring O2 concentration. It features:
  • Optical measurement principle
  • Lifetime-based luminescence quenching
  • Long-term stability with over a year without recalibration
  • Low maintenance and user-friendly operation
  • Compatibility with AADI SEAGUARD® Platform
  • Output formats: CANbus AiCaP, RS232
  • Three depth ranges up to 6000 meters

Operating Principle
The sensor uses modulated blue light to excite the sensing foil and measures the phase of returned red light. A reference phase reading is performed using a red LED. The sensor includes a temperature thermistor for linearization and temperature compensation.

Sensing Foil Considerations
The standard sensing foil is protected by an optical isolation layer, making it rugged and insensitive to sunlight. The fast response foil lacks this layer and should be protected from ambient light to avoid erroneous readings.

Technical Specifications
  • Oxygen Measurement Range: 0 – 500 µM, 0 - 150% Air Saturation
  • Resolution: < 1 µM, 0.4%
  • Accuracy: <8 µM or 5%, whichever is greater
  • Response Time: 4330F <8 sec, 4330 <25 sec
  • Temperature Range: -5 to +40°C
  • Resolution: 0.01°C
  • Accuracy: ±0.03°C
  • Output Parameters: O2-Concentration, Air Saturation, Temperature
  • Sampling Interval: 2s – 255 minutes
  • Supply Voltage: 5 to 14Vdc
  • Operating Depth: 0-6000 meters
  • Dimensions: Ø36 x 86mm
  • Weight: 175g
  • Materials: Epoxy coated Titanium, PA

Accessories

Oxygen optodes 4330/4330F-1

Oxygen Optode 4330/4330F is a compact fully integrated sensor for measuring the O2-concentration. Fast Response Foil (4330F, refer overleaf) Advantages: • Optical measurement principle • Lifetime-based luminescence quenching principle • Long time stability • More than one year without recalibration • Low maintenance needs • User friendly • Use with AADI SEAGUARD® Platform • Automatically detected and recognized • Use as stand-alone sensor • Output format: CANbus AiCaP, RS232 • Three depth ranges maximum 6000 meter Since oxygen is involved in most of the biological and chemical processes in aquatic environments, it is one of the most important parameter needed to be measured. Oxygen can also be used as a tracer in oceanographic studies. For environmental reasons it is critical to monitor oxygen in areas where the supply of oxygen is limited compared to demand e.g. • In shallow coastal areas with significant algae blooms • In fjords or other areas with limited exchange of water • Around fish farms • Areas of interest for dumping of mine or dredging waste The AADI Aanderaa oxygen optodes are based on the ability of selected substances to act as dynamic fluorescence quenchers. The fluorescent indicator is a special platinum porphyrin complex embedded in a gas permeable foil that is exposed to the surrounding water. For the standard version 4330 a black optical isolation coating protects the complex from sunlight and fluorescent AADI is a trademark of Xylem Inc. or one of its subsidiaries. particles in the water. This sensing foil is attached to a sapphire window providing optical access for the measuring system from inside a watertight housing. The lifetime-based luminescence quenching principle offers the following advantages over electro-chemical sensors: • Not stirring sensitive (it consumes no oxygen) • Less affected by fouling • Measures absolute oxygen concentration without repeated calibrations • Better long-term stability • Less affected by pressure • Pressure behaviour is predictable • Faster response time The oxygen optode outputs data in AiCaP CANbus and RS-232. The sensor can present the O2 concentration in µM, the Air Saturation in % and the Temperature in °C. The SEAGUARD® data logger and the smart sensor are interfaced by means of a reliable CANbus interface (AiCaP), using XML for plug and play capabilities. D378 - Feb 2012
