== Datasheet ==

=== 1. Introduction ===
SENSBLUE pH POM AT-SB-PROBE-pH-P sensor is used in environmental water quality monitoring, acid/alkali/salt solutions, chemical reaction processes, and industrial production processes. It can meet the requirements of online pH measurement for most industrial applications.

=== 2. Features ===

* Signal output: RS-485 (Modbus/RTU protocol).
* Convenient connection to third-party equipment such as PLCs, DCS, industrial control computers, general controllers, paperless recorders, or touch screens.
* Double high-impedance differential amplifier with strong anti-interference capability and fast response.
* The pH probe’s internal reference solution oozes very slowly from the microporous salt bridge under a pressure of at least 100 kPa (1 bar), and its forward bleed continues for more than 20 months. Such a reference system is very stable, and the electrode life is extended by a factor of two compared to conventional industrial electrodes.
* Easy to install: 3/4 NPT pipe thread for easy submersible installation or installation in pipes and tanks.

=== 6. Maintenance ===

==== 6.1 Use and maintenance ====
When measuring with the pH sensor, it should be cleaned in distilled water (or deionized water), and filter paper should be used to absorb the moisture to prevent impurities from being introduced into the solution to be tested. One-third of the sensor should be inserted into the solution being measured. When not in use, the sensor should be washed and placed in a protective sleeve containing a 3.5 mol/L potassium chloride solution or inserted into a container with the same 3.5 mol/L potassium chloride solution.   Check whether the terminal is dry. If it is stained, wipe it with absolute alcohol and allow it to dry. Avoid long-term immersion in distilled water or protein solutions and prevent contact with silicone grease. Over time, the sensor’s glass membrane may become translucent or accumulate deposits, it can be cleaned with dilute hydrochloric acid and then rinsed with water. If the sensor is used for a long period and measurement errors occur, it must be calibrated using the meter. If calibration and measurement cannot be performed even after maintaining the sensor as described above, the sensor has failed. Please replace the sensor.

The actual reading and standard of the instrument sometimes have an error of ±1 digit.

==== 6.2 Calibration ====
Note: the sensor has been calibrated at the factory, if not exceeding the measurement error, the calibration should not be random.

'''a.) Zero calibration'''

Use 250 mL of distilled water in a measuring cylinder, pour it into a beaker, add a packet of calibration powder with pH = 6.86, and stir evenly with a glass rod until the powder is completely dissolved. Prepare the solution with a pH of 6.86, place the sensor into the solution, and wait for 3–5 minutes. After the value stabilizes, check whether the displayed value is 6.86. If not, zero calibration is required. Refer to the appendix for calibration instructions.

'''b)  Slope calibration'''

“For acidic solution: Take 250 mL of distilled water in a measuring cylinder, pour it into a beaker, add a packet of calibration powder with pH = 4.00, and stir evenly with a glass rod until the powder is completely dissolved. Prepare the solution to pH = 4.00. Place the sensor into the solution and wait for 3 to 5 minutes. After the value stabilizes, check whether the value is 4.00. If not, slope calibration is required. Refer to the appendix for the calibration instructions.

For alkaline solution: Take 250 mL of distilled water in a measuring cylinder, pour it into a beaker, add a packet of calibration powder with pH = 9.18, and stir evenly with a glass rod until the powder is completely dissolved. Prepare the solution to pH = 9.18. Place the sensor into the solution and wait for 3 to 5 minutes. After the value stabilizes, check whether the display shows 9.18. If not, slope calibration is required. Refer to the appendix for the calibration instructions.
