Turbimax CUS51D Installation 3.3.2 Pipe installation Arrow 1 shows the flow direction. The installation angle must not exceed 90°. The recommended installation angle is 75°. The optical windows of the sensor have to be aligned parallel to the flow direction ( = 90°) or face the flow direction (...
Installation Turbimax CUS51D The following figure illustrates various installation positions in pipes and indicates whether they are permitted or not. a0013011 Fig. 14: Orientation and installation positions (with retractable assembly CUA451) • The pipeline diameter must be at least 100 mm (4") if reflective materials (e.g. stainless steel) are used.
Turbimax CUS51D Wiring Wiring WARNING Device is energized Improper connection can cause injury or death. ‣ The electrical connection must only be carried out by a certified electrician. ‣ Technical personnel must have read and understood the instructions in this manual and must adhere to them.
Device description Turbimax CUS51D Device description Sensor design The sensor is designed for the continuous in-situ measurement of turbidity and solids content. The sensor is designed as a 40 mm sensor that can be operated directly and completely in the process without the need for further sampling (in situ).

Device description Turbimax CUS51D The turbidity sensor CUS51D is equipped with two independent sensor units that are arranged in parallel. The application-specific analysis of both signals results in stable measured values. a0012966 Fig. 19: Arrangement of the light souces and the light receivers Light sources 1 and 2 135°...
Turbimax CUS51D Device description Measuring methods Four-beam pulsed light method The method is based on two light sources and four light receivers. Long-life LEDs are used as monochromatic light sources. To eliminate interference from extraneous light sources, these LEDs are pulsed.

Device description Turbimax CUS51D 135° backscattered light method The transmitted light beam is scattered by the solid matter particles in the medium. The backscattered beams are detected by scattered light receivers, which are arranged next to the light sources. The turbidity of the medium is determined by the amount of backscattered light.
Turbimax CUS51D Device description Application The sensor enables measurement in a variety of ways that are adapted to suit the specific measurement problems. The method is set by the choice of application and the reference model. Application type "Clear water"...

Turbimax CUS51D Device description Calibration The sensor is precalibrated on leaving the factory. As such, it can be used in a wide range of applications (e.g. clear water measurement) without the need for additional calibration. The factory calibrations are based on "three-point calibration". The kaolin and formazine applications are already fully calibrated and can be used without further calibration.

Device description Turbimax CUS51D 5.5.3 Single-point calibration With single-point calibration, the sensor can remain immersed in the process medium. Proceed as follows: Remove a sample of the medium in close proximity to the sensor for the laboratory measurement. Send the sample to the laboratory to measure the turbidity or solids content.

Turbimax CUS51D Device description Preparing the CUS51D sensor for calibration: Clean the optical components (windows) of the sensor with water and a brush. Put the sensor into the calibration vessel. When doing this, observe the following instructions. • Do not immerse the sensor vertically into the sample. Immerse the sensor at an angle. By doing this, you will prevent air bubbles building up around the windows.

Device description Turbimax CUS51D During calibration, note the following points: • The calibration points should cover the complete measuring range. • Be extremely careful when determining the laboratory measured value (the quality of the laboratory measurement has a direct impact on the accuracy of the sensor).
Turbimax CUS51D Device description Stability criterion During the calibration process, the measured values returned by the sensor are checked to ensure they remain constant. The stability criterion defines the maximum amount the measured values may deviate during calibration and still be accepted.
Diagnostics and troubleshooting Turbimax CUS51D Diagnostics and troubleshooting Troubleshooting must take account of the whole measuring system: • Transmitter • Electrical leads and connectors • Assembly • Sensor The possible causes of failure listed in the following table primarily refer to the sensor.
Turbimax CUS51D Maintenance Maintenance You have to perform maintenance tasks at regular intervals. We recommend setting the maintenance times in advance in an operations journal or log. The maintenance cycle primarily depends on the system, the installation conditions and the medium in which measurement takes place.
The device must be returned if repairs or a factory calibration are required, or if the wrong device has been ordered or delivered. According to legal regulations, Endress+Hauser, as an ISO-certified company, is required to follow certain procedures when handling returned products that are in contact with medium.
