Description
Potential matching pin
This probe also incorporates a potential matching pin. The matching pin is considered the “earth ground” connection and is used to prevent ground loop effects from causing erratic readings and damage to the system.
Specialized pH glass
The pH glass has been chosen to produce stable quick equilibration even in low conductivity waters. Additionally, the pH sensor is designed to produce a mV value near pH 4 (not pH 7 like typical pH sensors) should it stop working. A broken pH electrode that produces a mV value near pH 7 would produce an alarm state and disable any pump activated.
ORP
The ORP sensing surface is a large smooth surfaced platinum band that encircles the circumference of the temperature probe. It is referenced to Ag/AgCl reference electrode (3.5M KCl).
Differential measurement technique
The ORP and pH sensors and reference electrode use a differential measurement technique which is known to stay in service and provide accurate measurements under adverse conditions that may cause conventional pH probes to produce erroneous measurements. With the differential technique, a ground loop current will flow through the low impedance path of the matching pin thus providing immunity to the measurement signals
Digital signal
The probe converts these measurements to a digital signal to eliminate noise and static due to high impedance signals carried by cable
DIN Connector
Multi-pin sensor connector is manufacturer specific and allows for easy connection to the compatible meter.
