ION MEASUREMENTS AVAILABLE:

• HiQDT SMART DIGITAL MODBUS RTU ION SELECTIVE (ISE) SENSORS FOR DIRECT CONNECTION TO ANY PLC, HMI, SCADA or any other data acquisition or control device that can serve as the MODBUS RTU master.
  • The PLC or HMI employed can either be customer supplied or else ASTI supplied as a part of a turn-key ready system ready for plug and play field commissioning right out of the box.
  • ASTI supplied HMI & PLC include options for advanced smart touchscreen controllers with full remote access over ethernet suitable for use in for Class I, Division II hazardous locations to support remote in-situ offset grab sample calibrations. Lower cost options exist for instrumentation are available for use in safe non-hazardous locations as well as blind installations if no local display is required.
  • Calibration & configuration of smart HiQDT MODBUS RTU ion selective (ISE) sensors can be accomplished with free of charge Windows software or battery powered handheld communicator.
• Unique rugged industrial grade fluoride (F^–) monocrystal sensing element is linear across a very wide range of concentrations (up to saturation and linear to 2%, a.k.a. 20,000ppm) as well as down to the ppb levels

• View some highlighted typical field applications for ASTI ion selective sensors highlighting unique technical advantages.
• For any ion selective measurements not listed on our website inquire to factory to see if it is available on a special order custom built basis
• Review the Understanding Ion Selective Sensors technical literature as background reference information to better understand the foundational principle of operation for analytical potentiometric ISE sensors and capabilities and limitations detailed in the various ion selective sensor specification sheets such as lowest limit of detection, linear measurement range and selectivity coefficients.

CORE ION SELECTIVE SENSOR FEATURES:

• Best reference service lifetime in process industry through proprietary, novel, non-porous, cross-linked, conductive polymer technology; Available in double junction (standard) or triple junction (optional “TJ”) configuration.
• Large surface area industrial grade PVC membrane for measurement of ammonium (NH₄⁺), sodium (Na⁺), calcium (Ca²⁺), lithium (Li⁺), chloride (Cl^–), nitrate (NO₃^–), nitrite (NO₂^–) and perchlorate (ClO₄^–) are solvent bound to PVC electrode for excellent mechanical integrity during long term use and for aggressive field process installations.
• Fluoride (F^–) ion selective sensing elements offers nearly no interfering ions and excellent linearity across avery wide range of use. Available for use in application from 0-12 pH ranges with AB 6100 model or 5.5 to 9.5 with AB 8100, AB 5100 or AB 6100H models.
• Solid-state silver halide type ion sensing elements for measurement of chloride (Cl^–), bromide (Br^–), iodide (I^–), cyanide (CN^–) and silver (Ag⁺) are designed for use at elevated temperatures due to unique design and manufacturing scheme. Very large surface area and thick crystals allow for repeated repolishing as may be required for extended sensor service lifetime.
• Available in no protective tines to minimize air bubbles for inline low-flow type installations. Also configuration are also offered in 2 each (“GRO”) or 4 each (“GR”) protective tine configurations recommended for immersion and submersible installations.
• All ion selective sensors come standard with Pt1000 temperature compensation element. ACCU-TEMP option for fast temperature response is recommended for inline and sanitary installation styles were only the sensor tip is in contact with the process solution.
• Selected optional features include ACCU-TEMP Fast TC (“X”) which is critical for accurate temperature compensation of inline measurements. The braid reinforced thick PVC jacketed blue preamplifier cable (“BL”) is available to best results in high noise environments or for installation where mechanical wear on cable may be a potential installation issue.
• Ion selective sensors in base without integral preamplifier configuration can be used for installation up to 35 feet (~10 meters) maximum. The leads must be wired directly into the ISE transmitter with this configuration and cannot be bridged. ISE probes without preamplifier should be keep to a cable length of 20 feet (6 meters) whenever possible. For longer cable runs or to bridge the signal use the with integral preamplifier configuration.
• ISE sensors are available with integral conventional analog preamplifier to support cable lengths up to 100 meters (330 feet) as well as Q7M/Q7F NEMA 6P rated snap connector system (see more below). ISE sensors with integral preamplifiers can have their tinned leads bridges across terminal strips in a waterproof J-box enclosure assembly).
• End of cable terminations are tinned leads standard for both with and without integral preamplifier configurations
• Quick disconnect IP67 & NEMA 6P rated waterproof and corrosion resistant Q7M/Q7F snap connector option is available for ion selective (ISE) sensors with integral preamplifiers. Photos and installation guides can be found on the Ion Selective (ISE) Sensors Options webpage.
