Analog Sensors
Typically Need External Power Supplies
Analog Sensors Connect to Dataloggers to Collect Data
Smart Sensors
– Great for stand alone data collection and portable installations – User-replaceable, AA batteries – Operate for up to a year without replacing batteries* * Depending on sensor and specific application. Smart Sensors Typically run on internal power
* Depending on sensor and specific application. Smart Sensors Auxiliary power available for long term or data intensive applications – Solar – 12 Volt Battery – Generator – Line Power

TempHion Measurement Theory The TempHion works on the principle of direct potentiometry—the same principle that governs any other pH or ISE electrode. Two electrodes Sensing electrode (button) Reference electrode (in reservoir)
TempHion Measurement Theory Reference electrode immersed in filling solution of known chloride content. Chloride content stays constant as long as solution is not contaminated or diluted. Filling solution must be in contact with solution being tested to complete the electrical circuit. Liquid junction port
Measurement Theory “Cell potential” is measured across the two electrodes. Potential of sensing electrode varies logarithmically with the concentration of the ion it senses. Aqua4Plus uses this reading and applies calibration and temperature compensation to arrive at highly accurate readings. Sensing electrode Reference electrode
