Tough-3 pH Direct Smart Sensor

The Turtle Tough Tough-3 direct smart sensor is one tough sensor. Designed specifically to resist high velocity solids and high levels of abrasion this sensor provides unprecedented periods of survival in applications where most of our competitors literally disintegrate.

The Turtle Tough Tough-3 direct smart sensor is extremely versatile for a variety of installation methods. By utilizing a double thickness 3/4" x 1" RADEL body, it is suitable for both immersion, submersion and valve retractable installation types. The RADEL body material offers excellent resistance to abrasion at an economical price, while a fast response TC is built in close to the sensing element for superior calibration accuracy in all installation types.

The real secret to this sensor is the glass. Known for its fragility, the glass sensing element is often the weakest link in sensors having to cope with high velocity solids and slurry abrasion. Our unique and proprietary glass formulation is arguably the strongest pH glass bulb in the world and is capable of withstanding direct impact from high velocity slurries. We like to think it is 'virtually' unbreakable for it's intended use.

Fouling is another common problem with many brands of sensors, however our open geometry, coating resistant materials and our preference for high velocity (to keep the sensor clean) maintain optimal performance of the sensor within the sensibilities of a standard cleaning regime.

Direct Smart Sensor Technology (DSS-MO)

Lightweight & Portable

Calibrate and configure at any location retaining all values

Portable 9V battery powered communicator to calibrate & configure DSS-MO smart digital sensors with MODBUS RTU output at any location desired while still retaining all values stored including the last calibration performed

Six values stored in non-volatile EEPROM memory

Complete installation portability & hot-swap use with the following values stored:

• Offset calibration for temperature pH or ORP sensor
• Offset calibration for pH or ORP sensor
• Acidic slope for pH sensor used when reading < pH 7
• Alkaline slope for pH sensor used when reading > pH 7
• Factory set Sensor Serial & Item Number for traceability
• The max & min °C in service & total time in use (energized)

Intelligent Software

The intelligent software on DSS-MO communicator auto-detects sensor type connected & loads the appropriate options such that one communicator can interface all possible types of DSS-MO smart digital MODBUS sensors

Access to REAL-TIME DATA in no time.

With the MODBUS RTU you will have access to ALL information that is available from the communicator:

• Real-time data acquisition of measured process parameter (pH or ORP)
• Temperature
• All calibrations & diagnostic details about the installed DSS-MO smart digital sensor for intelligent remote management & troubleshooting capabilities

Quick disconnect cables to 1,000 meters

• NEMA 6P & IP67 rated waterproof
• HiQ4M & HiQ4F snap connectors for rugged field use

Offset calibrations available for ORP measurement and temperature

Input Data ranges and max resolution for pH & ORP measurements

• pH range of -2 to +16 with 0.001pH max resolution
• ORP range of ±1000 or ±2000mV; 0.1mV max resolution
• Temperature range of -40 to +210 °C; 0.1°C max resolution

3 Calibration points for optimal accuracy at any pH

Perform 1-point offset anywhere in the range. Slope calibrations are automatically assigned for acidic (-2 to +7) or alkaline (7 to 16) pH ranges yielding a 3-point point overall calibration scheme with a dual slope for optimal accuracy at any pH (can be very important for batch systems).

Automatic Temperature Compensation

(ATC) for pH measurement
