Applications

1.Marine Desalination  

The WHEC-768 plays a critical role in seawater desalination plants by monitoring conductivity in reverse osmosis (RO) systems. By measuring feedwater conductivity (typically 30,000–50,000µS/cm) and permeate conductivity (<100µS/cm), it ensures optimal RO membrane performance and salt rejection efficiency. Its IP68-rated, chemical-resistant design withstands constant exposure to saline environments, reducing maintenance intervals by 20%.

2.Electronics & Semiconductor Manufacturing

In semiconductor fabrication, ultra-pure water (UPW) with conductivity <0.1µS/cm is essential for cleaning wafers and manufacturing microchips. The WHEC-768 integrates with electrodeionization (EDI) systems to continuously monitor ion exchange processes, ensuring UPW purity and preventing contaminants that could cause chip defects. Its MODBUS RTU compatibility enables real-time data integration with factory automation systems.

3.Hospital Water Systems

The WHCOND-768 monitors hospital water systems in real time, detecting conductivity changes to ensure water quality and prevent contamination risks.

Installation Guide:

Mounting Requirements:

  • Install vertically with at least 5cm clearance from the tank/bowl bottom to avoid sediment interference
  • Use a bypass line for high-flow systems to ensure stable flow rate (250–500 mL/min)
  • Cable Management:Separate RS485 cables from power lines; extend up to 1000m with shielded cable

 

Calibration Procedure:On-Site Calibration

  1. Prepare Standard Solutions:Use 84µS/cm (low range) or 1413µS/cm (high range) calibration fluids
  2. MODBUS Calibration Steps:  

- Immerse sensor in solution until readings stabilize

- Use function code **06** to input address **12** with calibration value (e.g., 1413 for 1413µS/cm)

- Confirm "Response OK" to save settings

  1. Two-Point Calibration(for high accuracy):

- 1st point: Address 24 for low-range calibration (e.g., 84µS/cm → input 8)

- 2nd point: Address 25 for high-range calibration (e.g., 12.88mS/cm → input 1288)

 

Maintenance & Care

  • Routine Cleaning

- Wash with 50% warm detergent and nylon brush to remove organic deposits

- For stubborn scales, soak in 2% HCl solution (avoid platinum electrodes)

Platinum Electrode Care:  

- Gently rinse with DI water; never scrub with brushes

Storage

- Keep in dry environment or store in 3.3M KCl solution (for long-term storage)

Connection Checks

- Ensure terminals are dry; clean with isopropyl alcohol if contaminated

  • FAQs

Q:What is the recommended calibration frequency?

A:Calibrate monthly for industrial use; quarterly checks are sufficient in stable environments.

 

Q:Can the sensor measure TDS?

A:Yes, TDS can be derived from conductivity readings using a conversion factor (configurable via MODBUS).

 

Q:Is the sensor compatible with high-salinity water?

A:Yes, the 0–500,000µS/cm range supports high-conductivity solutions like seawater and brine.

 

Q:How to troubleshoot unstable readings?

A:Clean the electrodes with detergent, re-calibrate, and check for cable interference or improper grounding.
