pH/CE transmitter

Double transmitter for reading pH sensors and other


electrical conductivity (EC) in irrigation water.
It adapts the signals coming from the sensors and generates and
outlet in standard 4-20 mA values to be read by the controller.

pH Sensor

pH/CE transmitter

EC Sensor

It permits reading of pH sensors of a single or double jointed saline bridge, with BNC (coaxial)
connection.

The EC sensors that can be read are those of 4 electrodes with temperature compensation by
NTC and rapid connection through a 7 contact connector models HI 3001, HI 7635.

They are manufactured in individual models for a pH or an EC sensor.

The circuit is located inside a metal box that protects it from interference. The cover closes with
a rubber gasket to avoid humidity inside.

Declaration of conformity
This item complies with the Directive 89/336/CEE for electromagnetic
compatibility and the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/CEE for Compliance
of product safety. Compliance with the following specifications was
demonstrated as indicated in the European Community Official Report.

This symbol indicates that the electrical and electronic equipment should not be disposed of as
general household waste at its end-of-life. Instead, the product should be handed over to the
ap-plicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment for proper
treat-ment, recovery and recycling in accordance with your national legislation.

Connections and installation


The transmitter must be powered at +12 Vdc coming from the controller through the “+12” and
“0V” terminals. The reading outputs of EC and pH from the transmitter are connected to the co-
rresponding inputs of the controller.

The sensor signals are low level, therefore, sensitive to electromagnetic disturbances, for which
the transmitter must be located next to the sensors.

Between the transmitter and the controller there may be the distance that is necessary, but
take care that the cable does not pass next to other power cables as they may cause inductions
and false readings. This cable must be shielded. The power cable and output reading cable must
be hose type (i.e.: 4 x 0’25 shielded) as it must enter through the gland of the transmitter box,
thus obtaining proper closure and preserving the desired sealing.

The shielding of the cable shall be connected to a ground in the point of the controller, and in
the transmitter the screen will be connected to the ground screw as specified in the drawing.

It is important that sensors are not connected or disconnected when the transmitter is on.

Calibration

Connect the pH and EC sensors to the transmitter and this to a controller, through which you
will be able to observe the sensor reading.

PH SENSORS

There must be two solution tampons of known pH value, for example pH4 and pH7. Remove
the sensor from the hoses and dry it, then submerge the electrode in a pH7 solution, once the
reading is stabilized, adjust the potentiometer marked “offset” on the pH transmitter box, so that
07.0 pH is displayed onscreen; dry the electrode again and insert in the pH4 solution, adjust the
potentiometer marked “slope” to obtain a reading of 04.0 pH; replace the sensor in the process.
Always respect the calibration order, first pH7 and then pH4. It is recommended that the sensor
be calibrated periodically to obtain measurements without errors.

EC SENSORS

Remove the sensor from the hoses and leave it out, without contact with water; open the trans-
mitter box and open the potentiometer marked “offset” so that on the screen it shows between
0.0 and 0.1 mS. Then submerge or fill the inside of the tube with a known solution tampon, for
example 5 mS, and adjust the potentiometer marked “slope”, until 5.0 is displayed onscreen.
Always respect the calibration order, first 0 mS and then 5 mS.
