Products Description

Yexsensor YEX-DDM-206 Online Conductivity Sensor Product Overview

Yexsensor DDM-206 online conductivity sensor (model: YEX-DDM-206) is an industrial-grade digital water quality sensor launched by Yexsensor, focusing on real-time and accurate monitoring of water conductivity and total dissolved solids (TDS). The sensor adopts advanced electrode method measurement principle and integrates a high-precision Pt1000 temperature sensor to achieve automatic temperature compensation, effectively eliminating the influence of temperature changes on measurement results, ensuring high accuracy of reading ±1.5% and temperature ±0.3℃ in the 0~50℃ working environment.

As a true digital sensor, the DDM-206 outputs standard RS-485 Modbus RTU protocol, which can be directly connected to PLC, DCS, industrial control computers, paperless recorders or touch screens and other third-party equipment without additional transmitters, greatly simplifying system integration and reducing overall project costs. The sensor provides flexible range selection, covering the full range of needs from ultrapure water to high-mineralization industrial water, and supports simultaneous output of conductivity and TDS values in low ranges.

The housing combines 316L stainless steel with POM, ABS, and ABS/PC alloy materials, which not only ensures excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, but also achieves lightweight design. The standard 3/4 NPT pipe thread supports submersible installation and is suitable for pipelines, tanks and open water bodies. The standard cable length is 5 meters (customizable), and the IP68 protection rating allows the sensor to be immersed in water for long-term use, and can operate stably even in humid or mildly corrosive environments. The low power consumption design (0.2W@12V) is particularly suitable for remote sites or solar-powered applications.

Yexsensor always adheres to the core concept of "reliable, professional, solution-oriented". Every DDM-206 sensor undergoes strict 72-hour aging tests and stability verification to ensure zero defects upon delivery, providing a solid guarantee for users' digital water quality monitoring.

Yexsensor YEX-DDM-206 Online Conductivity Sensor Installation and Electrical Connection

Installation Requirements

The sensor is recommended to use submersible installation, screwing directly into pipelines or tanks using 3/4 NPT thread. Installation position should pay attention to: at least 5 cm from the bottom of the container and at least 2 cm from the side wall to avoid dead zones, bubbles or wall interference. It is recommended to keep the sensor vertical or nearly vertical for the best measurement results.

For pipeline installation, a ball valve can be used to enable installation and removal without stopping the machine; for open water body installation, additional protective measures are recommended.

Electrical Connection

The cable adopts 4-core twisted shielded wire, with the following wiring sequence:

  • Red wire: Power positive pole (12~24V DC)

  • Black wire: Ground (GND)

  • Blue wire: 485A

  • White wire: 485B

Please strictly check the wiring sequence before powering on to avoid reverse connection damaging the equipment. All wiring must be waterproof and anti-corrosion treated. The cable should have certain corrosion resistance to adapt to long-term immersion or outdoor environments.

After installation, it is recommended to power on and run in clean water for a period of time, confirm that the data is stable before calibration.

Yexsensor YEX-DDM-206 Online Conductivity Sensor Maintenance and Calibration Guide

Daily Maintenance

The DDM-206 is designed with low maintenance characteristics in mind. Depending on the actual water quality pollution level, it is recommended to clean regularly (usually 1-3 months). Method: Use a soft brush to gently remove surface attachments, avoid scratching the electrode surface, and then rinse thoroughly with distilled water.

Calibration Operation

Two-point calibration method is adopted:

  1. Zero point calibration: Rinse the sensor with distilled water and dry it, power on and place it vertically in the air for about 3 minutes. After the value stabilizes, execute the zero point calibration command.

  2. Slope calibration: Vertically immerse the sensor in standard solution (concentration recommended from 20% of full scale to full scale), ensure it is at least 5 cm from the bottom and 2 cm from the side wall. After stabilization, execute the slope calibration.

Regular calibration (recommended every 3-6 months) can effectively maintain measurement accuracy. Detailed Modbus calibration instructions can be found in the product appendix or by contacting technical support.

Maintenance Suggestions

  • Avoid exposing the sensor to air for a long time or in extreme temperature environments.

  • Regularly check the sealing of cables and connectors.

  • In highly polluted conditions, consider optional automatic cleaning devices.

Scientific maintenance can significantly extend the service life of the sensor and reduce long-term operating costs.
