On March 16th, ABB launched an important innovation in the field of pH/ORP measurement - the 500 X sensor, which is specially designed for harsh industrial applications. Under extreme operating conditions, traditional pH/ORP sensors often fail within hours or days due to poisoning of the reference electrode. The 500 X sensor adopts a patented design that combines anti poisoning and anti pollution capabilities. Customer evaluation data shows that in extreme temperature and pH testing, the lifespan of the 500 X sensor is up to 10 times longer than conventional sensors.
500 X sensor via EZLink ™ The digital platform seamlessly connects with ABB transmitters and has plug and play testing capabilities. In conjunction with the recently launched AWT424 transmitter, users can log in to EZLink through their smartphones ™ Connect application, easily access measurement data, diagnostic information, audit records, and obtain software updates and sensor information.
The 500 X is the latest member of ABB's digital and analog pH/ORP sensor series, continuing the unique color coding design of the series and helping users quickly select the ideal pH/ORP sensor suitable for specific operating conditions.
Nik Siwek, Global Product Manager of ABB's Measurement and Analysis Business Unit Continuous Water Quality Analyzer, said, "The new 500 X sensor is built on ABB's over 70 years of rich pH/ORP measurement experience and our trusted TB series products, with added digital capabilities. It inherits the durability genes of the TB series and has the user value of digital connectivity. Its robust design and digital connectivity make it an ideal choice for extremely demanding industrial applications, helping users significantly reduce operational and maintenance costs and providing solid guarantees for the stable operation of processes. ”
The 500 series includes the 500 X and 500 PRO, using ABB's most durable electrodes designed for high-performance industrial and marine applications under extreme high voltage, high temperature, and easily polluted conditions.
Meanwhile, the 100 series (100E, 100GP, 100 ULTRA), as ABB's entry-level sensor series, is widely used in general scenarios such as drinking water, sewage, irrigation, aquaculture, environmental monitoring, and boiler corrosion control.
The 700 ULTRA series is a specially designed rechargeable electrolyte sensor, suitable for applications with extremely high precision requirements such as ultra-low conductivity.
