Daviteq MBRTU-SAL Salinity Sensor Modbus RTU Output

This document is applied for the following products.

Introduction

MBRTU-SAL is a salinity sensor based on electrodeless inductive measurement. It uses the generator to generate an alternating magnetic field in the primary coil to generate an induced current in the medium. The intensity of the induced current depends on the concentration of ions in the medium. The induced current creates another magnetic field in the secondary coil. The receiver measures the induced current on the coil to determine the salinity of the medium. At the same time, the built-in temperature sensor can automatically compensate the temperature, which is suitable for online long-term monitoring of the environment.

Application scope: Marine, industrial wastewater, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, industrial manufacturing and other online whole process monitoring.

Features

1. The built-in temperature sensor can automatically compensate the temperature
2. There is no electrode, so there is no polarization reaction
3. The measurement and the medium are completely electrically isolated, which can be used for high-precision measurement of heavy and easily precipitated medium or solution with low cost of use and maintenance
4. Low power consumption and anti-interference design of internal circuit

Maintenance and Precautions

Maintenance

• Inductive electrode is basically maintenance free; It is recommended to clean up the sensor probe attachment every 30 days; Avoid the use of hard objects to cause the damage of the light guide part of the measuring probe during cleaning; Please wipe with a soft damp cloth.
• It is recommended to clean the outer surface of the sensor with water flow. If there is still debris residue, please wipe it with a wet soft cloth.

Note

• Installation measurement: avoid the installation measurement at the place where the water flow is turbulent, and reduce the influence of water bubbles on the measurement. Keep the measuring probe 2cm away from the bottom.
• The probe of the sensor is fouling or attached with more organisms, so the cleaning force can be increased appropriately. Slight scratch on the probe surface does not affect the normal use of the sensor. But pay attention not to penetrate the shell of the probe.
• Suggestion: the protective cover of our company should be selected to prevent the influence of microbial attachment on the measurement results.
