Honeywell DL423 DirectLine® pH/ORP Sensor Module

DirectLine® pH/ORP Sensor Module
DL423

The Honeywell DirectLine® architecture consists of an electronics module integral to the conductivity cell. This design eliminates the need and added cost of a separate analyzer or transmitter.

The electronics module is sealed in a plastic weather proof, corrosion resistant housing and is connected to the conductivity cell on one side and a 4-20 mA output cable on the other via water proof connectors. This housing design allows this system to be used in harsh environments where moisture and dust is a problem.

For special mounting applications, the remote mounting option connects the electronics module to the conductivity cell via a cable. The electronics module is then mounted on a 2-inch pipe, wall, or DIN rail.

• Direct 4-20 mA output eliminates need for dedicated analyzers or transmitters, simplifying installation, start-up, operation, and maintenance tasks. Installation costs are also reduced because standard cable can be used for additional cable distances.
• Automatic upload of cell constant and cell calibration factor from cell EEPROM reduces set-up time.
• Integral electronics with local HMI simplifies installation and shortens calibration times.
• Modular plug-in construction simplifies electrode replacements.
• Local display and keypad facilitates quick set-up, calibration, and operational activities.
• ½” NPT conduit connection provides increased protection and noise immunity of output cable
• Plug-in modular design allows sensor to be safely removed and replaced without cycling power on the electronics module.
• Electronics and sensor diagnostics reduces troubleshooting times.
• Trim value or 1-point solution calibration options accommodates individual calibration techniques and reduces calibration time.
• Temperature Sensor calibration options for more accurate measurements.
• Playing card-sized guide facilitates simple, correct, and consistent calibration and configuration.
• Watertight sensor connection for reliability in submersion applications.
• Global approvals including:
