Description

This laboratory-grade conductivity sensor employs an AC excitation signal to drive the probe, effectively reducing the polarization effect that plagues DC measurement methods. This design enhances measurement precision and significantly extends the operational life of the electrode. The sensor outputs a linear 0-3.2V analog signal corresponding to the conductivity of the solution under test.

The accompanying software library simplifies calibration with a single-point method and can automatically identify standard buffer solutions. It also integrates a temperature compensation algorithm to ensure accurate readings across its 0–40°C operating range. The robust construction, including a BNC-connected probe and a compact signal conversion board, is designed for reliable use in demanding environments like mariculture and industrial water quality monitoring.

Key Features

  • Laboratory-grade probe (K=10) for high-conductivity liquid measurement up to 100ms/cm.
  • AC excitation source technology reduces polarization and increases sensor accuracy and lifespan.
  • Gravity-series plug-and-play design with PH2.0-3Pin connector for quick prototyping.
  • Onboard signal conditioning provides a stable 0-3.2V analog output compatible with most ADCs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the measurement range of this EC sensor, and what liquids is it designed for?

This sensor has a measurement range of 10 to 100 millisiemens per centimeter (ms/cm). It is specifically designed for measuring high electrical conductivity liquids, such as seawater, concentrated brine, and nutrient-rich solutions used in mariculture and industrial processes.

How do I connect and interface this sensor with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi?

Connection is straightforward. The probe connects via the BNC connector on the signal board. The board's output is a 0-3.2V analog signal via a Gravity-series PH2.0-3Pin cable. Simply connect this cable's signal wire to an analog input pin on your Arduino or compatible ADC, and provide 3.3V or 5V power and ground. Use the provided DFRobot library for calibration and reading conversion.

What is the purpose of the AC excitation source, and how does calibration work?

The AC (alternating current) excitation source applies a non-DC signal to the probe electrodes. This critically reduces the polarization effect—a buildup of ions on the electrode surface—which degrades accuracy and damages the probe over time. The included software library supports simple single-point calibration using the provided 12.88ms/cm buffer solution and includes automatic temperature compensation for reliable readings.
