Digital Conductivity Sensors

Direct RS485 Modbus output supports long-distance integration without treating the analog and digital sensor configurations as the same product.

RS485 ModbusIP68 / NEMA6PUp to 200 m cable
Structured from the supplied technical files

Only values confirmed in the current records are published. Products without a commercial model remain configured products; final range, cell constant, material, interface and accessories are controlled by the project datasheet.

Selection & service

From selection to installation

Choose conductivity measurement by the actual operating range, cell construction and signal path. A complete analyzer and a digital sensor are different supply configurations.

Before choosing a configuration

  • Provide minimum, normal and maximum conductivity in µS/cm or mS/cm, together with process temperature, pressure and water chemistry.
  • For low-conductivity water, review the PEC-500E/F cell-constant options in the brochure. For a wider range or coated process media, compare four-electrode and inductive configurations before selecting a model.
  • State whether you need a sensor only or a sensor with transmitter. Transmitter 4–20 mA outputs, relays and AC/DC input ratings must not be treated as the sensor's own electrical connections.

Installation planning

  • Confirm the actual model's mounting thread, insertion space, wetted materials and pressure limit before selecting a pipe fitting or immersion holder.
  • For PEC-500B, the supplied brochure lists an upper R3/4 thread. Confirm the mating fitting; do not substitute NPT fittings without checking compatibility.
  • Agree the controller location, sensor cable length and RS485 settings. Request the connection drawing for the final sensor-and-controller combination.

Cleaning and verification

  • Provide access for inspecting the measuring surface and removing deposits. Select cleaning agents and the cleaning method for the actual electrode and housing materials.
  • Request a calibration procedure and reference solution suitable for the ordered measuring range. Record the reference temperature and compensation settings when comparing readings.

Use this checklist for project planning. Follow the operating instructions for the supplied configuration for wiring, fitting, cleaning and calibration.

Product literature

Use the table for the exact model. The PEC-500B brochure distinguishes a 0–100°C temperature measuring range from a 0–45°C non-freezing electrode operating limit; do not use the measuring range as the service-temperature rating.
