SSW-TDS-2U Dual-Channel Digital TDS sensor probe
Publish Time:2020-09-09

We designed a series of sensors for TDS measurement. As a normal function in water quality, TDS sensor had been used in household water purifier, commercial water purifier, fish tank, agriculture ,etc. SSW-TDS-xU( hereinafter referred to as “sensor”) including 的SSW-TDS-2U for 2/8 inches tube and SSW-TDS-3U for 3/8 inches tube。 For the other size, please find a suitable adapter.

1 recommended lower than 2000us/cm3 ,when used in higher than 2000us/cm3 , the accuracy would be bad。
2 the standard instruments is online device ,please don’t compare with the TDS pen

Steps:
1 connect the sensor to your mainboard
2 run the query instruction,get the feedback
3 analyze the data,get the TDSin and TDSout
5 Water Proof
As an important accessories of the water purifier ,the sensor conform to 2/8 inches(6.4±0.1mm), 3/8 inches(9.5±0.1mm)standard size. So as to achieve the water proof

Take SSW-TDS-2U as an example,we did three water proof operations:
1 knurled needle,to make the needle integrated with the plastic
2 use epoxy to fill the hollow part of the header
3 if the two steps are not enough to prevent the water ,we do injection molding again to make sure all leak risk to be resolved inside
6 Installation instructions
1 cut the power
2 plug the probe into the adapter
3 the source probe should be installed before all filters,the out probe should be installed after all filters

10 FAQS
Issue | Probably reason | Resolve methods |
TDS value is very lower | Maybe there had bubble in the adapter | Rotate the adapter 90o |
Temp. to be 0 or 100 | Probe broken | Change and send to us |
The result be high and low | Maybe caused by the water flow | Change the install position or accept it |
Source tds is lower than clean tds | May be you need to reverse the two probes | |
The result is lower than it was test outside the tube | The result would decrease when the probe installed in the tube |
1 accept it 2 ask us for help ,it need to calibration for your machine |
