ECD Model X80 Universal Transmitter

The ECD Model X80 Universal Transmitter is a single- or dual-channel transmitter designed for the continuous measurement of pH, ORP, pION, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity or resistivity in a general-purpose industrial environment. The transmitter digitally communicates with any ECD Model S88 or S80 Intelligent Sensor, automatically configuring the transmitter’s menus and display screens to the measured parameter.

The same transmitter can be used for any of the measurements. For example, plug an S88 conductivity sensor into a Model X80 transmitter and it will automatically reconfigure into a conductivity transmitter.

The Model S88 intelligent sensors facilitate two-way communication with the Model X80 transmitters. The type of sensor, identity and serial number are stored in the sensor’s memory along with calibration registers. The Model S88 sensors are calibrated at the factory, so they are ready to use when connected to a Model X80 transmitter. The Model S80/S88 sensors are waterproof and submersible, with all internal components epoxy encapsulated inside the ¾″ housing. The Model S88 sensors use the same easily replaceable electrodes as the Model S10, S17 and S80 sensors.

The Model X80 transmitter features a large, easily viewed LCD display. Loop-powered instruments have black lettering on a grey background, while the 24 VDC powered instruments have blue lettering on a white background when the LED backlight is on. The Model X80 has three easily switchable main display screens: the data screen, the millivolt screen and the graphical display screen (six screens for two channel units).
