  • Page 5: Introduction

    7300w² monitor. Whilst every attempt has been made to ensure that the instructions are correct, common sense and good engineering practice should always be used to adapt to specific site details. If you are in any doubt, please contact Partech or your local distributor for further information. SoliTechw² IR Sensors All SoliTechw²...
  • Page 6: Mounting Options

    This manual addresses Suspended Solids Detection applications. Please contact Partech for other types of application. When assessing mounting options, attention should be paid to the accessibility of the sensor for calibration and maintenance, stability of the sensor in the flow conditions present on site and to ensuring the sensor is fully submerged at all times.
  • Page 7: Mechanical Installation

    Reliable accurate measurement from any instrument can only be achieved by correct installation of the measuring device; in the case of suspended solids, this is particularly important. If you are in any doubt, contact Partech or your local distributor for advice.
  • Page 8: Electrical Installation

    SoliTechw² IR Sensor 3 Electrical Installation The SoliTechw² IR sensor connects to the 7300w² monitor. The information below provides the physical installation instructions; please refer to the monitor instruction manual for complete setup details. 3.1 Cable Routing Care should be taken to ensure that the cable routing does not cause problems with the sensor measurement; good engineering practice should be followed with particular attention being paid to the following points;...
  • Page 9: Solitechw² Ir Sensor Configuration

    SoliTechw² IR Sensor SoliTechw² IR Sensor Configuration Before attempting to configure the SoliTechw² IR sensor, please read the user manual that came with your monitor. The monitor manual will introduce you to the basic set-up of the monitor, and will familiarise you with the monitor menu structure and buttons. The monitor leaves the factory with no sensors pre-installed.
  • Page 10: S:0X Solitechw² Ir 0-Xxxxx

    1.1.1 S:0x Info This function provides a range of diagnostic information that may be requested by Partech for fault finding As can be observed from screenshots above, Page 1 displays sensor type and sensor serial number. Page 2 displays firmware version and date. The other pages display various statuses.
  • Page 11: S:0X Remove

    SoliTechw² IR Sensor 1.1.2 S:0x Remove This allows the sensor to be removed for re-configuration of the monitor or if a sensor has been added on error. If a sensor has been replaced with a new sensors, the old sensor must be removed, and the new sensor installed. You will be prompted with 'Are you sure?' before the sensor is removed.
  • Page 12: Measurement Configuration

    SoliTechw² IR Sensor 2 Measurement Configuration The monitor leaves the factory without any measurements configured. Measurements can only be added after installing the relevant sensor(s). Once the sensor(s) have been registered with the monitor and installed, the measurements will now be available. 2.1 Measurement Config From the MAIN MENU screen, select MEASUREMENT CONFIG by pressing , press...
  • Page 13: M:0X - Measurement Channel

    SoliTechw² IR Sensor The Measurement Menu will list all configured measurements in order M:01 to M:16 the list will also indicate the sensor number that is delivering the signal for the measurement. M:0x – Measurement Channel Selecting a measurement channel will reveal a new sub-menu associated with that measurement.
  • Page 14: M:0X Title

    SoliTechw² IR Sensor 2.2.2 M:0x Title This allows the title of the measurement to be changed from it's default, the measurement title is used in measurement mode to identify the measured value. A selection of standard terms are available along with a 'User Defined' option that can be adjusted to suit your requirements.
  • Page 15: M:0X Remove

    SoliTechw² IR Sensor 2.2.8 M:0x Remove In MEASUREMENT CONFIG press highlight the required title and press select. This option allows the user to remove a measurement that has been selected in error or to allow re-configuration of the system. Please use this option with care, all user settings for that measurement will be lost if the measurement is removed in error.
  • Page 16: Calibration

    Partech. Any containers used to store calibration samples should be cleaned prior to use. To ensure accurate calibration the sensor must be placed into the solution within the container for zero and span calibration.
  • Page 17: Span Calibration

    SoliTechw² IR Sensor Wait for the value to stabilise, then press to accept. The calibrating progress bar will be displayed, followed by the CALIBRATION SUCCESSFUL screen. Press to return back to the MEASUREMENT CONFIG screen. Zero calibration is now complete. Span Calibration A representative sample from the application with a known value, or Fullers Earth can by used for the span calibration.
  • Page 18: Take Sample

    SoliTechw² IR Sensor 3.6 Take Sample 'Take sample' along with 'Sample Result' work in tandem to calibrate the sensor within the process it is deployed. This method should be viewed as the primary mode to validate readings from the sensor. The function will compensate for variances in particle size and density between different processes, materials and even within the same process if variable at different times of year.
  • Page 19 SoliTechw² IR Sensor Press to progress to screen showing details of the 'Last Take Sample Details'. This provides the details of the latest sample capture. Press again to progress to value entry screen. Enter the value for the laboratory result (Default is 40000mg/l).
