Getting Started

Installation Methods

1. Submersible Installation: The sensor lead wires emerge from the waterproof conduit, and the top 3/4 thread is connected to the waterproof conduit's 3/4 thread using Teflon tape. Ensure the top of the sensor and the wires are not wetted.

2. Pipe Installation: Connect the sensor to the conduit via its 3/4 thread.

Electrode Calibration Instructions

This sensor uses single-point calibration. During calibration, the electrode is placed in a standard solution with a known conductivity value. The electrode is then shaken to accelerate the response, and after it settles and the conductivity reading stabilizes, a command is entered to perform the calibration (please refer to the communication protocol example for detailed commands).

Precautions and Maintenance

• The sensor is rigorously calibrated before leaving the factory and is ready for immediate use without further calibration.
• Electrodes that are not used for extended periods can generally be stored in a dry place. However, before use, they must be placed in distilled water for several hours to activate them. Frequently used electrodes can be placed in distilled water.
• The equipment should be calibrated before each use. For long-term use, it is recommended to calibrate every 3 months. The calibration frequency should be adjusted appropriately according to different application conditions (the degree of dirt in the application environment, the deposition of chemicals, etc.).
• The equipment itself generally does not require routine maintenance. In case of obvious malfunction, do not attempt to repair it yourself; contact us immediately!
• Cleaning Conductivity Electrodes：
  1. Organic contaminants on the electrodes can be cleaned with warm water containing detergent, or with alcohol. Calcium and magnesium precipitates are best cleaned with 10% citric acid.
  2. Electrical plates or posts should only be cleaned using chemical methods or by agitation in water. Wiping the electrode plates will damage the plating (platinum black) applied to the electrode surface.
