pHionics STs Series 4–20 mA pH & Temperature Sensor

from $1,054.00
Configuration:

Brand: pHionics

The pHionics STs Series is a rugged, submersible 4–20 mA sensor for continuous pH and temperature monitoring. Its isolated outputs integrate with PLCs, SCADA systems, data loggers and remote telemetry for reliable measurement in wastewater, environmental and industrial applications.

Key Features

  • Measures pH and temperature: Full 0–14 pH range with a separate 4–20 mA temperature output.

  • Rugged submersible construction: Chemical-resistant PVDF and 316 stainless steel housing rated for submersion up to 70 psi; titanium is optional.

  • Replaceable double-junction electrode: Large reference reservoir supports reliable measurement and extends service life.

  • Simple system integration: True 2-wire 4–20 mA outputs connect easily to PLCs, SCADA systems, data loggers and telemetry equipment.

  • Reliable long-distance signal: Shielded, Kevlar®-reinforced, water-blocked cable supports transmission up to three miles with the proper wire gauge.

  • Protection against measurement interference: Electrical isolation and signal conditioning help prevent ground loops and reduce background noise.

Why Choose the STs Series™ pH Sensor

Built-To-Last

With proper care, these sensors are designed for many years of reliable pH monitoring in harsh conditions.  The truly unique aspect of the STs Series is that every part, including the cable, is easily replaceable in the event of wear/damage.  This considerably extends their lifespan to save your company money.  It also keeps waste out of landfills to support sustainable business practices.

Ground Loop Elimination

If you ever have a pH sensor sending erratic measurements and can’t figure out why, then there may be a “ground loop”.  A ground loop occurs when the electrical circuit has multiple paths to ground that cause interference.  This issue can be very difficult to detect and fix.  The best way to avoid ground loops is with input/output electrical isolation, which is built into every pHionics sensor.

Low Maintenance

Very little is required to keep these sensors up.  Just perform periodic calibrations and replace the electrode every few years*.  Electrode replacement is a 60-second procedure that is easily performed in the field without any tools.
