0.01-3.5%. Based on BTG's patented Peak Method (see section 1.3) of optical anal- ysis, the TCT-2301 is virtually insensitive to variations in filler and fines content, making it particularly suitable for use with recycled and me- chanical pulp suspensions.
The TCT-2301 is served by the SPC-1000 hand-held terminal, which works not only with the TCT-2301, but also with all instruments in the BTG family of smart transmitters. The SPC-1000 can be connected at any point on the 4-20 mA output signal loop.

8 Input signals 9 Output signals PEAK The TCT-2301 employs the patented peak method for measuring total consistency of pulp suspensions. This technology is based on the fact that suspensions contain both large and small particles. Large particles are typically fibers and small particles are fillers and fines.
7 Pulp chest with sufficient mixing 8 Stock pump 9 BTG sampling valve type MPS-1000 The system consists of a probe (1) connected by an optical fiber to an electronics box (2) The probe contains only optical fibers. A ball valve arrangement that is welded to the pipe system make it possible to remove the probe without interrupting the process.

2. All units are tested as a complete system to conform with rele- vant CE directives and their standards. When using the unit in other combinations, BTG cannot guarantee the CE directive conformity. The unit in combination with customer installed external devices may conform with EMC and safety requirements when properly installed and using an adequate CE marked equipment.
Mounting parts, such as the weld-in studs, are dealt with in accordance with the pressure vessel standards of the respec- tive countries. For good personal and functional safety: Use only parts which have been manufactured or approved by BTG. 2.2.2 Selecting a transmitter model and assembly parts Pressurized parts must be suited to the current maximum pipe pressure in relation to temperature.
BTG sales engineer. When you are satisfied that your TCT-2301 has been correctly installed and are ready to power up the system for calibration, please turn to sec- tion 3.5: Checklist before start.

The sampling valve should be installed close to the transmitter. This helps to ensure that the laboratory sample is representative of the sample measured by the transmitter. Installing an appropriate BTG sampling valve, will ensure reliable re- sults. Install the sampling valve up or downstream of the transmitter but not closer than 0.5 m (1.5 ft) to the transmitter to avoid...

3.3 - Installing the electronics box BTG recommends that a roof or overhang is located above the electronics box to protect it against spray and pulp. If the box is located outdoors a roof will protect the unit from direct sunlight which can cause excessive operating temperatures.
3.3 - Installing the electronics box 3.3.2 Electronics box design Electronics boxes manufactured by BTG are designed to meet personal safety and interference requirements under the European CE directive and Canadian CSA requirements. The plastic enclosures are made of polycarbonate thermoplastic.
The standard optical fiber is 10 m (33 ft). It is possible to use optical fiber up to 40 m (131 ft) long. Contact your BTG sales engineer for more in- formation regarding optional fiber lengths. Do not cut the optical fiber.
