    • 1. Getting Started

    This article provides a comprehensive guide on electrode calibration using single-point calibration techniques, outlines submersible and pipe installation methods, and offers essential maintenance tips for optimal sensor performance.
    2. Example Code for Arduino - EC, Temperature, Salinity & TDS Monitoring

    This project demonstrates how to connect the RS485 Water Quality Electrical Conductivity Sensor to an Arduino development board, read real-time EC (electrical conductivity), temperature, salinity, and TDS (total dissolved solids) data via the ModBus-RTU protocol, and display the data on the Arduino IDE serial monitor. Users will learn how to implement RS485 communication with ModBus-RTU, parse sensor data, and leverage built-in temperature compensation for accurate measurements.

    FAQ

    • How to troubleshoot when there is a problem?
      1. The computer has multiple COM ports, and the selected port is incorrect.
      2. The device address is wrong, or there are devices with duplicate addresses (all factory defaults are 1).
      3. Baud rate, check mode, data bit, stop bit error.
      4. Host polling interval and waiting response time are too short, both need to be set above 200ms.
      5. 485 bus is disconnected, or A and B lines are connected in reverse.
      6. Too many devices or too long wiring, power supply should be provided nearby, 485 enhancer should be added, and 120Ω terminal resistance should be added.
      7. USB to 485 driver is not installed or damaged.
      8. Equipment is damaged.
