ABB launches an innovation in pH/ORP measurement: the 500 X sensor engineered for demanding industrial applications where extreme process conditions typically cause conventional pH/ORP sensors to fail within hours or days due to reference poisoning.
The new sensor features a proprietary design that resists both poisoning and fouling. Backed by customer evaluation data, the 500 X pH/ORP sensor demonstrated up to 10 times longer life than conventional sensors in trials involving extreme temperatures and pH levels.
The 500 X sensors connect seamlessly to ABB’s transmitters via the EZLink digital platform, providing connect and measure capability. With the recent launch of the AWT424 transmitter, users can easily access measurement, diagnostic and audit data, in addition to software updates and sensor information, through their smartphone and the EZLink Connect App.
The 500 X is the newest addition to ABB’s family of digital and analog pH/ORP sensors and shares their unique colour-coded design that makes it easy to find and select the optimal pH/ORP sensor for an application.
The robust design and digital connectivity make 500 X a solution for the harshest industrial applications, ensuring users can maintain process confidence while significantly reducing operating and maintenance requirements.
The 500 series, which comprises 500 X and 500 PRO, feature ABB’s most durable electrodes for harsh, high performance industrial and marine use including extreme high pressure, high temperature and fouling applications.
At the same time, the 100 series (100E, 100GP, 100 ULTRA) is ABB’s entry-level sensor family used in a wide variety of general applications such as drinking water, wastewater, irrigation, aquaculture, environmental monitoring and boiler corrosion control.
The 700 series (700 ULTRA) is a speciality rechargeable sensor for high accuracy applications, such as ultra-low conductivity.
