Abstract: In some embodiments, the conductivity measurement device includes a conductivity probe, a solid state switch device, and a DC measurement circuit. The conductivity probe includes a first and second measurement pin used to measure a conductivity of the liquid. The solid state switch device is coupled to the conductivity probe and is configured to connect and disconnect the first measurement pin and second measurement pin to a first DC reference voltage and a second DC reference voltage. The DC measurement circuit is configured to generate a measurement signal such that the measurement signal is maintained at a first DC reference voltage and the first DC reference voltage is applied to the solid state switch device from the DC measurement circuit. In this manner, an alternating current (AC) voltage is applied to the measurement pins utilizing DC reference voltages, which helps to avoid contamination of the liquid.
