I. Overview

Online Digital pH Sensor

The digital pH sensor uses an industrial wire electrode with a flat

front end for easy cleaning. Built-in temperature sensor for
automatic temperature compensation, suitable for online
long-term monitoring environment. The sensor adopts RS485
output and supports Modbus, which can realize networking and
system integration without controller.

Features
 Digital sensor, RS-485 output, support MODBUS
 Unaffected by transmission distance for better stability

 Built-in temperature sensor, automatic temperature compensation

RS485 Output Signal

 It is equipped with an RS-485 interface that
allows easy and fast sensor configuration via
Modbus. It can be easily connected to monitoring
system.

 DSMC5100 can be equipped with it to read

real-time monitoring data, and the data storage
function provides users with a basis for analyzing the data

IV. Installation
4.1 Installation Tips
Before installation and operation, please check the appearance of the
cable for damage, and spread the cable.
1. Input sensors should be used to avoid water flow caused by the sensor hit
the wall or other facilities, if the water flow rate is too fast need to fix the sensor.
2. The measurement of the front should not be any shade, such as
fluorescence sensors should be avoided light.
3. The installation of the sensor should not exceed the depth of water from the
level of 2 metres, and according to the fluctuation of water flow, the installation
position should not be less than 30 cm deep. (According to the measured
water body can be adjusted)
4. The sensor should be installed in the position of no bubble generation, in
order to prevent air bubbles on the sensor's measurement data.
5.The sensor should not be used to lift the sensor's own cable, the installation
of cable protection devices to prevent excessive taut tension between the
cable and the sensor, resulting in cable breakage.
6. The sensor should not be installed measuring surface facing up, can be
installed vertically down or horizontal installation.
7. Such as the use of this product in the pilot tank, please consult the
company's sales staff to confirm the installation of specific requirements.

4.2 Customer Installation Cases

V. Maintenance of Sensor
5.1 Maintenance Schedule
It is recommended to periodically calibrate or clean the sensor surface
according to the actual application scenario. The calibration sequence for the
three-point calibration is that the first point calibration is at pH 4.0, the second

3
 Xi’an Desun Uniwill Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.

point calibration is at pH 6.86, and the third point calibration is at pH 9.18 in a

buffer solution. Refer to the MODBUS document for specific calibration
methods.
Maintenance tasks Recommended maintenance frequency
Calibrate the sensor (if required According to the maintenance schedule required by
by the competent authority) the
competent authority
5.2 Maintenance Method

Sensor maintenance
1) External surface of the sensor:

Wash the external surface of the sensor with tap water. If debris remains,
wipe it with a moist soft cloth.

2) Check the cable of the sensor:

The cable should not be tight during normal work, otherwise the internal
wires of the cable will be easily broken and the sensor will not work properly.
3) Sensor storage:
When the sensor is not in use, you should fasten the black plastic cap and
check whether the sponge inside is wet. If it is not wet enough, please add
3mol / L potassium chloride solution and let the electrode be stored in the
solution with potassium chloride.

Precautions

The probe contains sensitive optical and electronic components. Ensure

that the probe is not subject to severe mechanical impact. Damage to the
sensor due to impact or manpower will not be covered by the warranty. Water
ingress to the sensor due to replacement of the pH electrode is not covered by
the warranty.

2. Test available on the right, calibration available on the bottom left.

Recommendation: Before calibration, complete a test to ensure that there is

communication between the sensor and the software and that the sensor is
working properly.

3. Before entering calibration, you need to click on the Stop button to stop the
sensor from working on the test. Then click on the three point calibration and
follow the instructions to calibrate.

4. Just follow the prompts to complete the calibration at points 4, 6.86 and
9.18.
