Signet 5900 Salinity Monitor
Member of the ProPointTM Family of Monitors
Description
The Signet 5900 Salinity Monitor utilizes conductivity sensors to provide
direct reading, including calibration,
of salinity in parts per thousand (PPT).
Equipped with a scaleable 4 to 20 mA
output and two programmable relays,
the monitor requires 12 to 24 Volts, AC
or DC, and is compatible with Signet
-1
10 cm
or 20 cm-1 conductivity cells.
Temperature is selectable for display
in either °C or °F, and compensation
is automatic. Calibration is simplified

with single-point salinity and temperature entry via the wet-cal menu
sequence. The four-button keypad
arrangement with intuitive software
design is user-friendly, and is offered
with a hard-coated, high impact,
and UV resistant polycarbonate front
face. The front panel is rated NEMA
4X/IP65 and an optional splashproof
cover is available to protect the back
of the instrument.
