AC Infinity Hydro Sensor for Controller AI+ Precise pH EC TDS & Water

Description

Designed for AC Infinity AI Controllers, tracking pH, EC, TDS, and water temp to unlock advanced automation for various equipment.

Provides 24/7 water and nutrient monitoring with automatic adjustments, improving efficiency and reducing manual intervention.

Designed with interchangeable probes, allowing quick replacement of worn sensors to reduce downtime and long-term costs.

Enables precise monitoring of water quality and nutrients in hydroponics, aquariums, storage tanks, treatment systems, and pools.

Works with UIS AI controllers for Wi-Fi app connectivity, unlocking AI-powered automations, data tracking, alerts, and grow guides.

Product Description: The innovative hydro sensor is designed specifically for direct use with the cutting-edge AI controllers featuring adaptive self-learning to automate a crucial role in monitoring and maintaining optimal pH, EC, TDS and temperature levels, essential for healthy plant growth. The precision of the sensor provides the exact data needed for the dispersal of the correct amount of nutrients for a thriving ecosystem. When paired with the AI smart controllers, the hydro sensor unlocks exclusive device automations, such as dosing times with peristaltic pumps, estimated water values with water pumps, and on/off switches when plugged into smart outlets.

Nutrient Management: For irrigation systems that rely on water storage tanks, the hydro sensor plays a vital role in optimizing water usage. By monitoring water quality, it helps determine the precise timing and amount of nutrients needed for crops. This not only conserves water but also enhances plant health and growth, leading to more efficient agricultural practices and improved yields.

Multi-Purpose Functionality: This versatile sensor is ideal for various applications, including monitoring water quality in hydroponics, aquariums, pools and more, optimizing water treatment processes, and managing irrigation in water storage tanks. The hydro sensor is an indispensable tool that enhances water management across various applications, contributing to the sustainability and health of aquatic environments and agricultural systems.

Controller and installation conditions

Use with CONTROLLER AI+; only one hydro sensor may be connected per controller at a time. Keep the sensor hub away from all liquids. Align pH and EC plugs with their ports without twisting or forcing them, secure the EC fastener without overtightening, and do not disconnect the probes while the hub is powered.

Probe restrictions

Do not use the pH probe in highly alkaline or salt solutions; low-ion water such as pure, drinking, RO, distilled or deionized water; hydrofluoric acid; sticky substances; or organic solvents. Do not use the EC probe in most organic solutions such as amines, ketones or aromatic hydrocarbons; very-low-conductivity solutions; strong acids, alkalis or oxidizing solutions; or sticky substances.

Calibration and storage

Calibrate before use with the AC Infinity app. Use separate distilled-water rinse cups to prevent cross-contamination. For pH auto-calibration, start with pH 7.0, then pH 4.0 and pH 10.01, waiting for each reading to stabilize. Select the matching conductivity solution and unit for EC/TDS calibration. Refer to the guide for recalibration frequency based on sample, temperature and accuracy requirements. Keep the pH probe moist in its bottle; for long-term storage use a few drops of 3M KCl solution, sold separately. Never store it in pure, tap, RO, distilled or deionized water. Keep the EC sponge moist with pure water. Rinse before and after tests, protect the glass probe from impacts and scratches, and recalibrate after cleaning.
