Sanitary Conductivity Sensors

Three-Color Display

Image of Attribute. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Chemistry Meters. Sanitary Conductivity Sensors.

Often used to save rinse water in beverage and pharmaceutical lines, these sensors test the amount of chemicals, cleaners, and other substances in liquids by measuring how well the liquid conducts electricity. They’re 3-A and European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group (EHEDG) certified, thanks to their design that’s easy to keep clean. Highly polished, they limit where bacteria could grow. They also withstand washdowns with hot water, chemicals, and cleaners common to sanitary lines because of their PEEK probe, stainless steel body, and IP ratings. Their IP ratings also mean they’re dust tight and won’t fail if briefly under water. All are FDA compliant to safely touch food.

These sensors work with 4-20 mA analog output to connect to remote displays and programmable logic controllers (PLCs), making them good for hard-to-reach areas and frequent application changes. This also means they’ll set off alarms and trigger cycles to start and stop in automated systems. With the touchscreen, program each color of the display to alert you to errors, completed cycles, and other events. Both the head and the display rotate to view readings from the best angle.

Highly accurate, these sensors test almost any liquid. They also measure temperature—no need for a separate sensor. To compare readings as temperature changes, they automatically standardize readings at 77° F. All meet European safety standards, since they’re CE marked.

Conductivity Controllers


Controller	Sensor

Turn pumps, mixers, valves, and other equipment on or off based on the conductivity of a solution. These controllers compare input from a sensor (sold separately) to a programmed actuation point and react when the reading reaches the actuation point. They’re often used in water treatment and electroplating. Automatic temperature compensation standardizes readings at 77° F to prevent inaccurate results in fluctuating temperatures.

Mechanical Relay Output—Controllers with mechanical relay output directly turn equipment on or off with two SPDT (single pole, double throw) relays.

Analog Output—Controllers with analog output send 4-20mA signals to a PLC or other receiving device (not included) to record data and control equipment.

Remote-Reading Multifunction Chemistry Meters

Take multiple water-chemistry and temperature measurements in hard-to-reach places from up to 3 feet away. Often used in tap water and wastewater, these meters work in both clean and dirty liquids. Automatic temperature compensation standardizes readings to 77° F to prevent inaccurate results in changing temperatures. The data hold function freezes the current reading on the display. For easy viewing, temperature and chemistry measurements appear on the same screen. These meters are IP57 rated, so they resist dust and withstand temporary submersion.

To maintain their accuracy, all have a calibration button and some also come with calibration solutions.

Conductivity, salinity, temperature, and total dissolved solids (TDS) meters take four measurements at once. Conductivity measures the concentration of salts, nutrients, chemicals, and other substances. Salinity measures the amount of dissolved salts. TDS determines the contaminant levels. The stainless steel sensor is durable and resists breaking.

Remote-Reading Multifunction Chemistry Meters with PC Output

Test temperature, chemical concentration, contamination, and salt levels in liquid from up to 6 ft. away, then send the results to your computer for analysis. These meters include a USB cable that transfers up to 1,000 readings. Often used to test water quality, they work on both clean and dirty liquids—from tap water to wastewater. Conductivity tests measure the concentration of salts, nutrients, chemicals, and other substances. Total dissolved solids (TDS) tests report contaminant levels. Salinity tests determine the salt levels in liquid. The sensor is made of stainless steel, so it’s durable and resists breaking. IP67 rated, these meters are dust tight and withstand temporary submersion.

To prevent inaccurate results from changing temperatures, these meters automatically standardize temperature readings at 77° F. Temperature readings appear on screen with other measurements, so you won’t have to scroll through multiple screens. A data hold function freezes the current reading on the display.

To maintain accuracy of the meters, they come with calibration solutions and have a calibration button.
