Frequently Asked Questions about NICO

Here you will find the most important answers about the NICO sensor, its functions, and its application areas

1. What is the NICO photometer?

NICO is a digital optical in‑situ photometer for nitrate measurement based on a UV absorption method. It measures nitrate without sampling or reagents and automatically compensates for turbidity and organic substances that often cause measurement errors in other systems.

How does nitrate measurement with NICO work?

The device uses four detection channels to precisely evaluate UV absorption in water. It compensates for turbidity, organic matter, and temperature, ensuring stable and accurate readings. An internal temperature correction further improves measurement stability.

3. What advantages does NICO offer compared to other nitrate sensors?

NICO combines a proven UV absorption method with modern features such as nanocoated optical windows, a G2 interface, browser‑based configuration, and an integrated data logger. This makes it low‑maintenance, easy to integrate, and capable of delivering reliable real‑time data without reagents or sample preparation.

4. What are the typical application areas for NICO?

The photometer is designed for various environmental and water‑related applications, including:
  • Wastewater treatment plants
  • Environmental monitoring
  • Drinking water surveillance
It measures parameters such as NO₃, NO₃‑N, NOx, and NOx‑N..

5. How is NICO integrated into existing systems?

Thanks to the G2 interface, NICO can be quickly integrated into third‑party systems. Configuration is done easily via a web browser, and the internal data logger enables straightforward data collection without additional hardware.

6. What maintenance does the NICO photometer require?

The nanocoated optical windows significantly reduce maintenance needs. Since no reagents or sample preparation are required, operation is limited to minimal routine checks and occasional cleaning of the optical components.
