The RS485 pH, ORP and Temperature Sensor is a high-precision water quality sensor widely used in water treatment, irrigation, smart agriculture, pipelines, tanks, and environmental monitoring. It simultaneously measures pH, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and water temperature. Temperature compensation and configurable signal filtering help maintain stable readings under changing conditions. For easy integration, it supports RS485 Modbus RTU communication and low-power 4.5–28 V DC operation. Moreover, its IP68 design, 3/4-inch NPT threads, and built-in surge, reverse-polarity, TVS, and ESD protection ensure reliable long-term use.
This sensor is available with an RS485 Modbus RTU interface. It is compatible with the SenseCAP S2100 LoRaWAN® Data Logger, enabling low-power, long-range data transmission over LoRaWAN® networks.
Note: This sensor can also be used in seawater, but its service life may be reduced depending on the salinity of the water.
Recommendation for S2100 Data Logger
SenseCAP S2100 Data Logger can connect to Modbus RS485/Analog/GPIO industrial sensors including the Grow Your Idea and transmit data from sensors to the LoRaWAN network. Benefiting from its high robustness and waterproof and dustproof enclosure, the S2100 data logger can work under harsh environments such as high UV exposure, heavy rain, dusty conditions, etc. which is ideal for outdoor use. Based on LoRaWAN, it can cover a long transmission range of 2km in urban scenes and 10km in line-of-sight while keeping lower power consumption. Equipped with built-in Bluetooth and app service for OTA configuration and remote management, it enables quick setup and update. It can be battery-powered or connected to a 12V external power supply. When the 12V power supply is connected, the replaceable built-in battery is set to be used as the backup power supply.
Attention:
If you need to connect sensors or an external power supply for the S2100, please refer to the wiring diagram below. Please note that the sensor supply voltage range is 4.5-28 V, while the external power supply for the S2100 must be a stable 12 V supply.
