SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Bring Coolant Measurements into Your Monitoring System

01 / MEASURE

Cooling Loop Sensors

Place the selected EC, pH, ORP and turbidity sensors at representative points in the CDU or cooling loop.

02 / COLLECT

4-20 mA / RS485

Connect sensor outputs to compatible controller inputs or data collectors. Review signal mapping and communication requirements for the project.

03 / REVIEW

BMS / DCIM / Controller

Use your monitoring platform to record trends, display readings and manage alarms for the configured measurements.

Data collection, platform connectivity, trend storage and alarm functions depend on the selected controller or monitoring system. Confirm the required integration architecture with RIKA SENSOR.

SELECTION & INSTALLATION

Choose Representative Measurement Conditions

Start with Coolant and Range

Share the coolant type and concentration, normal measurement range, temperature and pressure. Select the EC variant and turbidity range for the expected conditions.

Provide Stable Flow

A bypass section helps with maintenance. Prefer vertical upward flow or a suitable horizontal location. Avoid turbulence, trapped gas, sediment and positions downstream of pressure reduction.

Follow the Model-Specific Details

Keep pH and ORP electrodes at least 15° from horizontal. For turbidity in stainless steel pipes, keep the probe at least 30 mm from the wall and align the measuring holes parallel to flow.

Allow Access for Care

Leave at least 70 mm of outlet clearance for an M16 connector. Follow the model-specific care instructions; pH and ORP electrodes require KCl soaking when not in use.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before You Specify a Sensor

Which coolant types are listed in the specifications?

The listed media are deionized water, PG25 and EG25. Share your coolant formulation and concentration so the sensing method and wetted-material compatibility can be reviewed before ordering.

Should the measurement range be used as an alarm limit?

Select a measurement range for the conditions you expect to measure. Define alarm thresholds from the requirements of your coolant, equipment and operating process, using a stable baseline and appropriate trend review.

How do the four parameters work together?

EC follows ionic condition, pH follows acidity and alkalinity, ORP follows oxidation-reduction conditions, and turbidity follows cleanliness trends. Review them together with operating conditions and inspection findings to decide when further investigation is needed.
