KWS-700 Online pH Sensor

Introduction

KWS-700 online pH sensor is used in environmental water quality monitoring, acid/alkali/salt solution, chemical reaction process, industrial production process, it can meet the requirments of online pH measurement for most industrial applications.

Feature

Signal output: RS-485 (Modbus/RTU protocol).
Convenient connection to third-party equipment such as PLC, DCS, industrial control computer,general controller, paperless recording instrument or tounch screen.
Double high-impedance differential amplifier with strong anti-interference and fast response.

The patented pH probe, the internal reference solution oozes very slowly from the microporous salt bridge under the pressure of at least 100KPa (1Bar), and its forward bleed continues for more than 20 months. Such a reference system is very stable and the electrode life is extended by a factor of two compared to conventional industrial electrodes.
Easy to install: 3/4 NPT pipe thread for easy submersible installation or installation in pipes and tanks.

Technical Specifications

Dimension

Installation and Electrical Connection

Installation

Note: The sensor should not be installed upside down or horizontally when installed, at least at an angle of 15 degrees or more.

Wiring

a) Red line - power cord (12 ~ 24V)
b) Black line - ground (GND)
c) Blue line - 485A
d) White line - 485B
e) Bare wire - shielded wire
After wiring is completed, it should be carefully checked to avoid incorrect connections before powering up.

Cable specification: Considering that the cable is immersed in water (including sea water) for a long time or exposed to the air,the cable has certain corrosion resistance.The outer diameter of the cable is Φ6 mm and all interfaces are waterproof.

Maintenance

Use and maintenance

When measuring the pH sensor, it should be cleaned in distilled water (or deionized water), and the filter paper should be used to absorb moisture to prevent impurities from being introduced into the liquid to be tested. 1/3 of the sensor should be inserted into the solution to be tested.
The sensor should be washed when not in use, inserted into a protective sleeve with a 3.5 mol/L potassium chloride solution, or the sensor inserted into a container with a 3.5 mol/L potassium chloride solution.
Check if the terminal is dry. If it is stained, wipe it with absolute alcohol and dry it. Avoid long-term immersion in distilled water or protein solution and prevent contact with silicone grease. With a longer sensor, its glass film may become translucent or with deposits, which can be washed with dilute hydrochloric acid and rinsed with water. The sensor is used for a long time. When a measurement error occurs, it must be calibrated with the meter for calibration.
When the calibration and measurement cannot be performed while the sensor is being maintained and maintained in the above manner, the sensor has failed. Please replace the sensor.

Standard Buffer Ph Reference Table

The actual reading and standard of the instrument sometimes have an error of ±1 digit.

Calibration

Note: the sensor has been calibrated at the factory, if not exceeding the measurement error, the calibration should not be random.

a) Zero calibration
Use 250 mL of distilled water in a measuring cylinder,pour into a beaker, add a packet of calibration powder with pH=6.86 , stir evenly with a glass rod until the powder is completely dissolved, configure the solution with pH=6.86 , put the sensor into the solution, wait for 3 ~ 5 minutes, after the value is stable, see if the displayed value is 6.86 . If not, you need to perform zero calibration. Refer to the appendix for calibration instructions .

b) Slope calibration
For acidic solution: Take 250 mL of distilled water in a measuring cylinder , pour into a beaker, add a packet of calibration powder with pH=4.00 , stir evenly with a glass rod until the powder is completely dissolved, and configure the solution topH=4.00 ; In the solution, wait for 3 to 5 minutes. After the value is stable, see if the value is 4.00 . If not, the slope calibration is required. Refer to the appendix for the calibration instructions.

For alkaline solution: Take 250 mL of distilled water in a measuring cylinder , pour into a beaker, add a packet of calibration powder with pH=9.18 , stir evenly with a glass rod until the powder is completely dissolved, and configure the solution to pH=9.18 ; Into the solution, wait for 3 to 5 minutes. After the value is stable, see if the display is 9.18 . If not, the slope calibration is required. Refer to the appendix for the calibration instructions.

Quality assurance

Quality inspection departments have standardized inspection procedures, with advanced detection equipment and instruments, and in strict accordance with the test procedures for products that do 72 hours aging test, stability test, not asubstandard products factory.

The receiving party directly returns the product batch with a failure rate of 2% , and all the costs incurred are borne by the supplier. The reference standard refers to the product description provided by the supplier.

Guarantee the quantity of goods and the speed of shipment.
