Kuntze Zirkon DIS Sensor; Double Platinum KCl; Shaft L: 120mm

Kuntze Zirkon® DIS Sensor – Dual Platinum Rings | 120 mm Glass Shaft | Saturated KCl Electrolyte

Product Overview

The Zirkon DIS series from Kuntze instruments is a bare potentiostatic amperometric sensor designed for disinfection monitoring. The dual platinum ring electrode variant is tailored for measuring free chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ozone, or hydrogen peroxide within various ranges. Built in Germany, it features a robust glass shaft, Zirkon ceramic junction, and saturated KCl (Tepox® gel) reference system — perfect for reliable, low-maintenance deployment in challenging water environments

Technical Specifications

Key Benefits

• Versatile Analyte Detection: Capable of measuring chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide (up to 30 ppm).

• Stable, Low-Maintenance Operation: Bare platinum electrodes and KCl gel eliminate membrane replacements. Compatible with ASR® automatic cleaning

• Precise & Durable Design: Gold qualified platinum electrodes ensure corrosion resistance and longevity. Zirkon junction provides reliability

• Rapid Response & Calibration: Stabilizes quickly within 10–15 min post-installation and supports automated cleaning to reduce fouling .

Applications & Use Cases

• Municipal & drinking water treatment — continuous free chlorine monitoring

• Pool & spa systems — hygiene assurance via residual disinfectant measurement

• Industrial process water — including cooling towers and food/beverage systems

• Multi-parameter disinfection — chlorine dioxide, ozone, hydrogen peroxide (requires analyzer range selection)

Installation & Maintenance Tips

1. Pre-Installation: Remove any crystallized KCl gel with a damp cloth and mild detergent, rinse before use—Kuntze ships sensors pre-filled with KCl

2. Flow Regulation: Use Argon Stabiflow® to maintain a stable 30 L/hr, ensuring consistent amperometric reading

3. Cleaning Routine: Enable ASR® in your analyzer for up to 7 clean cycles per week; manual cleaning optionally performed using gentle detergents.

4. Calibration: Allow a 10–15 min stabilization period before calibration and routine monitoring commencement.

Summary

The Kuntze Zirkon® DIS – Dual Platinum Ring Sensor (120 mm) delivers a premium solution for precise multiparameter disinfection monitoring in demanding environments. Its steel-free platinum electrodes, KCl-based reference gel, and rugged glass construction enable dependable performance with low upkeep. Paired with ASR® cleaning and Argon flow control, this sensor suits a wide array of water quality applications.
