AquaMetrix AM-ES-TX Toroidal Conductivity Sensor with Analog and Digital Output Installation and Operation Manual AM-ES-TX Operating Manual N116-160 rev 1.0...
The AM-ES-TX consists of an ES1 sensor and an ES-BT. The ES-BT is the blind transmitter box potion of the ES-TX. The AM-ES-BT is the smart blind transmitter that provides accurate conductivity readings across the sensor's wide range, 4-400,000 µS/cm!
3.2.2. The ES1 and the ES-BT should be connected as per section 4.3 and powered (24±4 VDC) 3.2.3. The AM-ES-TX comes calibrated out of the box, so you are ready to go once connected to a controller or PLC.

2) Power supply: 24±4VDC. Make sure to follow the wiring instructions above and provide the proper power. Connecting the probe to any power outside the normal range may result in damage and may void the warranty. AM-ES-TX Operating Manual N116-160 rev 1.0...
4.1. Analog Connections Note: the 4-20mA mapping is defaulted to 0-400mS/cm. For custom ranges, use the Digital communication protocol or contact the Water Analytics Team. 4.2. Digital (RS485) Connections Note: Digital communication is currently available over RS485 and via CLI commands. The Modbus RTU protocol will be available in future releases.
5.1.4. For emulators like Tera Term, we recommend turning on “Local Echo” in the settings. 5.2. Port Configuration: a. Speed – 9600 b. Data – 8 bit c. Parity – none d. Stop bite – 1 bit AM-ES-TX Operating Manual N116-160 rev 1.0...

CondOffset = Measured_Conductivity - Reference_Conductivity (User can choose any standard reference conductivity for calibration up to 400,000). To remove this calibration, simply enter the command “CondCalClear” and the ESTX will remove previously saved one-point conductivity user calibration. AM-ES-TX Operating Manual N116-160 rev 1.0...
The probes and blind transmitter use a 24V power supply and improper installation and handling can result in injury or damage to surrounding equipment including this probe. AM-ES-TX Operating Manual N116-160 rev 1.0...
10. Troubleshooting To troubleshoot the AM-ES-TX connect it directly to the power supply avoiding, if possible, all interconnections, splices, and junction boxes. The next testing level requires a multimeter in current mode. When the red and black wires are connected to the power supply (24±4 VDC), Without disconnecting the power connection add the black...
