Section 2 General Information 2.1 Safety Information Please read this entire manual before unpacking, setting up, or operating this equipment. Pay attention to all danger and caution statements. Failure to do so could result in serious injury to the operator or damage to the equipment. Make sure that the protection provided by this equipment is not impaired, do not use or install this equipment in any manner other than that specified in this manual.
High-precision pipe installation probe for turbidity and suspended solids made of stainless steel for color-independent measurement of highly concentrated sludges. Figure 2 Solitax sc Sensors 2.3 Measuring Principle The measuring principle is based on a combined infrared absorption scattered light technique that measures the lowest turbidity values in accordance with DIN EN 27027 just as precisely and continuously as high sludge content.
Only qualified personnel should conduct the tasks described in this section of the manual. 3.1 Unpacking the Instrument Figure 3 Items Supplied with SensorI SOLITAX sc Sensor Factory Test Certificate User Manual Wiper Set (for 5 changes) LZX050 3.1.1 Function Check After unpacking, both components should be checked for any transport damage and a short function check performed prior to installation.
3.2 Sensor Installation Figure 4 on page 10 illustrates the installation overview for Solitax sc Models t-line, ts-line, and hs-line for immersion in open tanks. The maximum distance from the mounting surface to the sensor without the use of an extension tube is 1.5 m (4.9 ft).
Installation 3.3 Pipe Installation • Install the sensor in an up-flow pipe section for best results. Do not mount the sensor in a down-flow pipe section. • Mounting in a horizontal pipe section is acceptable if the sensor is fully immersed at all times.

Installation 3.4 Connecting sensor cable CAUTION Always lay cables and hoses so they do not pose a trip hazard and are not bent. 1. Unscrew the protective cap on the controller socket and retain it. 2. Pay attention to the guide in the plug and push the plug into the socket. 3.
Section 4 Operations 4.1 Use of an sc controller Before using the sensor in combination with an sc controller, refer to the controller user manual for navigation information. 4.2 Sensor Setup When a sensor is initially installed, the serial number of the sensor will be displayed as the sensor name.
Operations 4.5 Sensor Setup Menu (continued) CONFIGURE EDIT NAME Enter up to a 10-digit name in any combination of symbols and alpha or numeric characters. This setting configures the Solitax to measure turbidity or suspended solids. The Solitax cannot simultaneously measure both. Choose “TRB” for turbidity measurements, or “TS” for suspended SET PARAMETER solids measurement.
Operations 4.6.1 Setting the Outmode 1. From the Main Menu, select SENSOR SETUP and press confirm. 2. Select the appropriate sensor if more than one is attached and confirm. 3. Select CALIBRATE and press confirm. 4. Select SET OUTMODE. Select the available Out Mode (Active, Hold, Transfer) and confirm.
Operations 4.6.3 Calibration for Suspended Solids Suspended solids calibration requires calibration to the actual sample. This optimizes the compensation for the particle size and shape typical at a measuring site. It is best performed by mounting the sensor as usual for normal measurement, and then grab samples collected and evaluated by laboratory methods.
Section 5 Maintenance DANGER Only qualified personnel should conduct the tasks described in this section of the manual. Proper maintenance of the measuring windows in the sensor is critical for accurate measurements. The measuring windows should be checked monthly for soiling and the wiper checked for wear.
Maintenance 5.3 Replacing the Wiper The life of the wiper is dependent on the number of cleaning actions performed and the type of deposits to be removed. The life of the wiper varies. The wipers supplied with the instrument should last for approximately one year. 1.
Section 6 Troubleshooting 6.1 Error Codes In the case of an error, the indication of the measured value flashes on the display and all the contacts and current outputs allocated to this sensor are placed on hold. The following conditions will result in flashing measured values: •...
