TempHion™ Smart Sensor With Data Logging
The Seametrics TempHion™ Smart Sensor is a microprocessor-based submersible sensor with built-in data logging.
The internal processor in the TempHion allows for easy calibration, using the calibration utilities in Aqua4Plus. Once calibrated, this calibration data is stored in non-volatile memory within the Smart Sensor. When data is collected, this calibration information is applied to the data, resulting in highly accurate readings at a wide range of temperatures.
The TempHion is powered internally with two replaceable AA batteries. Alternately it can be powered with an external auxiliary power supply for data intensive applications. The unit is programmed using our easy-touse Aqua4Plus control software. Once programmed the unit will measure and collect data on a variety of time intervals.
Several TempHions, or a combination of TempHions and other Seametrics Smart Sensors, can be networked together and controlled directly from a single computer.
While most will use the TempHion with our free, easy-to-use Aqua4Plus software, it is by no means limited to that software. You can use your own Modbus® RTU or SDI-12 software or logging equipment to read measurements, thus tying into your existing telemetry and control systems.
- Measures pH, ORP, and temperature.
- Or measures Bromide and temperature.
- RS485 network.
- Integrated datalogger collects 200,000+ records.

Description
The TempHion™ is a submersible water quality sensor and datalogger that includes a ph/ORP or Bromide element as well as one thermistor-based temperature element.
With a patented reference electrode, the TempHion provides long-term stability for continuous or intermittent monitoring—making unattended in-situ pH testing and Bromide tracer studies possible without frequent calibrations or service.
