The sensor is unaffected by flow velocity changes from 0 to 4 m/s. An integrated pump that utilizes a long-lasting, brushless motor delivers a fixed velocity across the electrodes, creating flow independence in any installation. The high-velocity flow across the electrodes improves sensitivity and lowers the Signal to Noise Ratio.
A patented electrochemical cleaning method called SensiCLENE™ resists polarization and adsorption of organics. Cleaning beads continuously abrade the sensor. This keeps the electrode surfaces, including the pH sensor, free from buildup, scaling, and biofouling. Solid metal electrodes last the life of the system.
These features combine to enable very long intervals between calibration.
Because the sensor is approved for NSF-61 usage, it can be installed as a side-stream unit, directly in a pipe, or submerged in a tank with no required waste stream.
An optional local Display is available for viewing parameters, troubleshooting and calibration of up to 5 separate MP5™ units.
A Wet Tap installation method enables direct insertion into a distribution pipe. Sidestream, Immersion, and PVC Tee deployments are available. Whatever deployment, the highly integrated design reduces the electronics cost and size, while increasing reliability.
