Note
Version 1 of this pH sensor supports RS485 protocol and 4~20mA analog current, which is now retired, and replaced by this current one: Version 2, supporting RS485 protocol and 0~2V analog voltage.
This Industrial pH Sensor comes in two versions. The main difference is in the cable connector. Please choose the version that best suits your needs:
(1) Version A1B: with a waterproof aviation connector. This version saves you time in deployment as you won't have to use screws to connect the cable to the data logger. And it can be used with SenseCAP Sensor Hub 4G Data Logger instantly with ease.
(2) S-pH-01A: with hook-up wires.

A pH meter measures the hydrogen-ion activity in water-based solutions, indicating its acidity or basicity expressed as pH. (Wikipedia: pH Meter). pH level is an important indicator in many scenarios, especially in monitoring soil conditions and water quality. A pH sensor is widely used in farming, gardening, hydroponics, aquaponics, swimming pools and spas, sewage treatment, education, environmental monitoring, and many other applications.
This pH sensor (S-pH-01A) is designed with industry standards. It adopts international advanced solid dielectric and large-area polytetrafluoroethylene liquid junction, which is not easy to block and convenient for maintenance. It's designed with ATC (automatic temperature compensation), making sure the data is accurate regardless of the temperature changes. This pH Sensor is IP65 rated, waterproof in a tight seal, capable of withstanding long-term constant use in professional application scenarios.
This pH Sensor comes with a MODBUS-RTU RS485 serial communications protocol or 4~20mA current output. It can be easily connected to and integrated with other devices such as data-loggers, controllers, and displays, etc. This cost-effective pH sensor features low-power consumption, compact size, portability, high integration, making it widely applicable in both indoor and outdoor environments.
