    Hydro-Air P-38 Installation 4.2. Sensor Connection Extension of sensor cable If the user chooses to extend the sensor cable, please ensure the extension cable is coaxial type and is in good condition. For sensors without a built-in pre-amplifier (e.g. Conventional Combination Sensor), it is highly recommended to install an external pre-amplifier into any cable connection exceeding 25m to ensure excellent reading accuracy and consistency of the sensor.
  • Page 12: Conventional Combination Sensor Without Grounding Electrode (2-Wire Sensor)

    Installation Hydro-Air P-38 4.2.1. Conventional Combination Sensor Without Grounding Electrode (2-Wire Sensor) The 2-Wire Sensor features an Active Electrode (pH) and a Reference Electrode (Ref.). The Temperature Electrode (Temp. or T/P) is an optional feature of the sensor for temperature compensation. Since the 2-Wire Sensor does not feature a Grounding Electrode, the short pin is required in this setup.

    Hydro-Air P-38 Installation 4.2.2. Conventional Combination Sensor With Grounding Electrode (3-Wire Sensor) The 3-Wire Sensor features an Active Electrode (pH), a Reference Electrode (Ref.) and a Grounding Electrode (GND) to eliminate noise / disturbance in the process medium. The Temperature Electrode (Temp. or T/P) is an optional feature of the sensor for temperature compensation.
