Advanced Water Quality Sensor Introduction
2 012-14325A
Introduction
The PS-2230 Advanced Water Quality Sensor combines four sensors in a single unit:
• Temperature
• Conductivity
• pH (or Ion-Selective Electrode, or Oxygen Reduction Potential, optional)
• Dissolved Oxygen (DO
2
)
Note: The Optical Dissolved Oxygen Probe also measures barometric pressure and solution tem-
perature.
When connected to a PASPORT interface, the multi-sensor collects data at up to 2
samples per second from each component sensor. One component sensor can be used
at a time or any combination can be used simultaneously. If you have a PASPORT
interface that supports multiple sensors, or if you have more than one interface con-
nected to your computer, the Advanced Water Quality Sensor can be used in combina-
tion with other PASPORT sensors.
Note: No electrical interference will occur between two or more probes connected to a single
Advanced Water Quality Sensor.
Sensor, Interface, and Software Setup
Connect the multi-sensor to your PASPORT interface as pictured (right). Con-
nect any or all of the included probes to the multi-sensor. (You can leave any
probe disconnected if you do not plan to use it.) If you will be using an
ion-selective electrode or oxygen reduction potential electrode, connect it to
the pH/ISE/ORP port.
Follow the instructions below to set up the sensor with PASCO Capstone,
SPARKvue, SPARK SLS, or the Xplorer GLX (standalone).
For detailed information about each of the multi-sensor’s component sensors,
see the following pages.
Note: Only the tips and bodies of the probes should be immersed in liquid. Keep the con-
nectors and body of the multi-sensor dry. The probe cables are immersible.
Capstone Setup
Connect the PASPORT interface using a Capstone supported interface. Build
one or more displays for data. Click ‘Record’
to start data collection and ‘Stop’
to stop data collection.
Note that the sensor will collect data for probes that are not connected. These data are
listed in the Data Summary and are displayed if selected on one or more displays. The
default sampling rate and other parameters are defined with Hardware Setup in the
Tool Palette. If needed, calibration is performed with the Calibration wizard in the
Tool Palette. For more instructions on using Capstone, refer to the Capstone Online
Help or User’s Guide.
