I.pH Sensor Transmitter Wastewater Treatment Online Acid-Base Detection DeviceWorking principle
The core measurement principle remainsGlass electrode potentiometric method (Nernst equation)
- The probe internally containspH Sensitive glass electrode+ Ag/AgCl Reference electrode+ Built-inPT1000 Temperature sensor;
- Hydrogen ions in the measured solution contact the glass sensitive membrane, generating a millivolt-level potential difference;
- Built-in circuit board converts weak mV Signal amplification, filtering,A/D Converted to digital;
- Read temperature data,Internal algorithm completes automatic temperature compensation ATC, eliminating the effect of temperature on pH Effect of slope, directly calculating the finalpH;
- Through digital communication interface, pH, temperature, rawmV Value output.
Theoretical slope at 25℃: 59.16mV/pH, slope changes with temperature, so temperature compensation is essential. A few models use ISFET solid-state ion-sensitive field-effect technology, without fragile glass bulbs, suitable for special working conditions.
II.pH Sensor Transmitter Wastewater Treatment Online Acid-Base Detection DeviceInternal hardware structure
- Sensing head:pH Sensitive glass bulb, reference diaphragm (salt bridge), gel electrolyte; some dual salt bridge designs resist contamination and sulfide poisoning;
- Temperature element:PT1000/NTC, close to the electrode, real-time measurement of medium temperature;
- Signal processing board (smart core): High-impedance amplifier,ADC、MCU Microprocessor, memory chip;
✨Calibration parameters, zero point, slope directlyStored locally in the sensor probe, unplug it and switch to another device, calibration data will not be lost, achieving plug-and-play.
- Communication drive unit:RS485、SDI12, some also support420mA;

4. Smart Core advantages of pH sensor (compared to traditional analog electrode)
- Signal digitization, strong anti-interference, long wiring distance Analog mV Signal is easily interfered by frequency converters and motors, cable generally does not exceed20 Meters; smart digital signalRS485 Can reach up to thousands of meters, suitable for long-distance on-site installation.
- Calibration data stored locally, plug-and-play Calibration is stored in the probe, no need for repeated calibration on the control cabinet instrument; it can be calibrated in the lab and then directly installed and used on site.
- Built-in diagnostic function (high-end ISM Series) Internally monitors electrode aging, diaphragm blockage, glass bulb contamination, outputs electrode slope and impedance, predicts lifespan, provides early fault warnings, reducing downtime and maintenance.
- Integrated temperature compensation, no need for external temperature probe Analog systems often require an additional temperature electrode; the smart probe integrates temperature acquisition and compensation in one unit.
- Simple system integration Direct integration PLC, microcontroller,DTUIoT cloud platform, no need for expensive dedicatedpH Transmitter, reducing overall system cost.
- Some support remote calibration Send calibration commands via communication protocol, no need to disassemble the probe, complete calibration remotely.
Shortcoming: electrode glass bulb and electrolyte will age, still require regular maintenance, not maintenance-free.
