STs Series Conductivity Sensor
Description
The pHionics STs Series™ Conductivity is a water quality sensor (sonde) designed to pair with a datalogger or RTU for real-time data capture. A narrow diameter allows the STs Series to go places others can’t while the chemical-resistant housing ensures the sensor can stay there for many years. Proprietary electrode technology provides stable measurements to reduce calibration frequency.
All parts, including the cable, are easily replaceable without tools using pHionics patented pHiConn™ System, saving frustration and money.
In addition, isolation, differential amplification, and shielding ensure a strong signal with high signal-noise ratios, all while remaining low-power.
These features make our conductivity sensor well-suited for applications such as groundwater monitoring, wastewater treatment, aquaculture, pollution monitoring, etc.
Highlighted Features
- 4-cell electrode measuring conductivity (ec), total dissolved solids (TDS), or salinity depending on scaling with datalogger or remote telemetry unit (RTU)
- Secondary 0-50°C temperature sensor
- 2-wire, 4-20 mA analog outputs compatible with many dataloggers or RTUs.
- Narrow diameter (0.75 inches or 1.9 cm) for groundwater monitoring applications
- Isolated to prevent ground loops
- Holds calibration for months at a time
Conductivity Sensor Ranges Available:
- 0-1,000 µS/cm
- 0-5,000 µS/cm

Low Maintenance
Reduce the number of site visits with the STs Series Conductivity sensor. A 4-cell electrode holds calibration for long periods of time while also preventing errors due to polarization.
In addition, the guard protects the sensing elements from algae and debris build-up, further reducing the need for calibration.
Accurate Measurements
No noise. No nonsense.

Mounting Options
Pipe mounting
Due to their small diameter and light-weight design, pHionics STs Series™ sensors may be set up in a number of ways. They may be suspended by the Kevlar-reinforced cable down a pipe, as shown to the right, or mounted at the end of a pipe using the pHionics cmp-k compression fitting, as shown to the left and below.
