Gravity: Analog pH Sensor/Meter Kit V2

Description

The analog pH meter V2 is specifically designed to measure the pH of the solution and reflect the acidity or alkalinity. The DFRobot PH sensor is commonly used in various applications such as aquaponics, aquaculture, and environmental water testing.

As an upgraded version of pH meter V1, this product greatly improves the precision and user experience. The onboard voltage regulator chip supports a wide voltage supply of 3.3~5.5V, which is compatible with the 5V and 3.3V main control boards. The output signal filtered by hardware has low jitter. The software library adopts the two-point calibration method, and can automatically identify two standard buffer solutions (4.0 and 7.0), making it simple and convenient.

The sensor can be easily connected to most popular microcontrollers (such as Arduino), and with its Arduino library, you can quickly build a pH meter, plug, and play. DFRobot provides a variety of water quality ph analog sensor products, uniform size and interface, not only meeting the needs of various water quality measuring methods but also being suitable for the DIY multi-parameter water quality tester.

The pH is a value that measures the acidity or alkalinity of the solution. It is also called the hydrogen ion concentration index. The pH is a scale of hydrogen ion activity in the solution. pH has a wide range of uses in medicine, chemistry, and agriculture. Usually, the pH is a number between 0 to 14. Under the thermodynamic standard conditions, pH = 7, which means the solution is neutral; pH<7, which means the solution is acidic; and pH > 7, which means the solution is alkaline.

Attention

1. The BNC connector and the signal conversion board must be kept dry and clean, otherwise, it will affect the input impedance, resulting in an inaccurate measurement. If it is damp, it needs to be dried.
2. The signal conversion board cannot be directly placed on a wet or semiconductor surface, otherwise, it will affect the input impedance, resulting in an inaccurate measurement. It is recommended to use the nylon pillar to fix the signal conversion board, and allow a certain distance between the signal conversion board and the surface.
3. The sensitive glass bubble in the head of the pH probe should avoid touching the hard material. Any damage or scratches will cause the electrode to fail.
4. After completing the measurement, disconnect the pH probe from the signal conversion board. The ph analog sensor probe should not be connected to the signal conversion board without the power supply for a long time.
5. The bottle cap of the probe contains protective liquid (3.3mol/L KCL). Even if the bottle cap is screwed tightly, some protective liquid may still leak around the bottle cap, forming white crystals. But as long as there is still protective liquid in the bottle cap, it will not affect the life and accuracy of the probe. So please use it with confidence. It is recommended that the white crystals be poured back into the protective liquid in the bottle cap.
