Installation and immersion sensor for low, middle and high turbidity and solids concentrations Application Turbimax CUS51D is a sensor for all applications of wastewater treatment. • Turbidity measurement in the outlet • Suspended solids in the activated sludge basin and in the recirculation •...
Turbimax CUS51D Function and system design Measuring principle For turbidity measurement a light beam is sent through the medium and is diverted from its original direction by optically denser particles, e.g. solid matter particles. This process is also called scattering.

Turbimax CUS51D Sensor design The turbidity sensor CUS51D is equipped with two independing sensor units that are arranged in parallel. The application-specific analysis of both signals results in stable measured values. a0012966 Arrangement of the light souces and the light receivers Light sources 1 and 2 135°...

Turbimax CUS51D 90° scattered light method The measurement uses a wavelength of 860 nm like described in ISO 7027 / EN 27027. The transmitted light beam is scattered by the solid matter particles in the medium. The scattered beams are detected by scattered light receivers which are arranged at an angle of 90 °...
