Features
• Fully encapsulated electronics
• 4-20 mA output
• Marine grade cable with strain relief
• Stainless steel housing
The ORP sensor output is 4-20 mA with a three wire configuration. The electronics are completely encapsulated in marine grade epoxy within a stainless steel housing.
(online version has 1-¼” PVC x 12” pipe nipple, threaded both ends with cap).
ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) is a measure of the oxidation activity of the water. If the oxidation activity is high it will rust a piece of iron quickly. ORP is also used as an alternative way to measure chlorine concentration, since water high in chlorine (a strong oxidiser) has a high ORP. ORP is measured as a voltage between a platinum wire and a reference electrode. As this voltage goes up, the ORP goes up. The sensor amplifies this voltage and converts it to the 4-20 mA output signal.
