Thank you for choosing the ES-2 Electrical Conductivity and Temperature Sensor from METER Group. The ES-2 sensor measures in an irrigation pipe, a water body, or in a tank. A thermistor in thermal contact with the probe provides water temperature, while the screws on the surface of the sensor from a four-electrode array to measure electrical conductivity (EC).
OpERATION 2. OpERATION Please read all instructions before operating the ES-2 to ensure it performs to its full potential. pRECAUTIONS METER sensors are built to the highest standards, but misuse, improper protection, or improper installation may damage the sensor and possibly void the manufacturer’s warranty.
For more instructions on connecting to data loggers, refer to Section 2.2. 2.2 CONNECTING The ES-2 works seamlessly with METER data loggers. The ES-2 can also be used with other data loggers, such as those from Campbell Scientific, Inc. For extensive directions on how to...
Power Figure 1 Stereo plug connector The ES-2 comes standard with a 5-m cable. It may be purchased with custom cable lengths for an additional fee (on a per-meter basis). In some instances, the cable can be extended beyond 75 m by the user, but this is discouraged for a variety of reasons. Please contact...

ES-2 Integrator Guide. The SDI-12 protocol requires that all sensors have a unique address. ES-2 sensor factory default is an SDI-12 address of 0. To add more than one SDI-12 sensor to a bus, the sensor address must be changed as described in these steps.

EM ISO/IEC 17050:2010 (CE Mark) 3.2 COMpONENTS Thes ES-2 uses four stainless steel electrodes for its conductivity measurement, which is less sensitive to contamination than a two electrode sensor (Figure 4). A thermistor in contact with the probe provides water temperature. A protective cap helps protect the electrodes from damage and contamination, and a small plug can be added or removed, depending on the installation application.
Table 2 relates EC at 25 °C to concentration for various concentrations of KCl. Operators can verify ES-2 performance using these solutions. The ES-2 internally corrects output value to 25 °C. Table 2 EC of KCl solutions for testing ES-2 calibrations Electrical Conductivity (μS/cm)
Solutions If using a METER logger, update logger firmware. Data logger is not Check the logger configuration for a non-METER data logger using its recognizing sensor user manual. Check power to the sensor. Check that the connections to the data logger are both correct and secure.
