1. Introduction 1.1. General Information Thank you for purchasing a Thermo Scientific AquaSensors AnalogPlus Differential pH Sensor. This industrial sensor has many enhanced features that offer superior performance in process applications. The product is designed for continuous use in industrial process applications and complies with safety regulations currently in force.
1.2. Intended use The Thermo Scientific AquaSensors AnalogPlus pH sensor is designed to continuously measure pH and temperature in aqueous solutions in accordance with the technical product specifications in Section 2.2 of this manual. Any other use, or use not mentioned here, that is incompatible with the technical specifications is deemed inappropriate.
2. Product Description 2.1. Sensor Description Thermo Scientific AquaSensors AnalogPlus pH sensors use a differential measurement technique to maximize lifetime in continuous industrial applications. • The ground rod and encapsulated preamplifier construction reduce the effects of ground loops and allow the pH signals to be transmitted up to 3,000 feet. Titanium is the standard ground rod material.
