Page 3: Introduction - Hyperion Optical Sensor
Instrument has a wide range (9-28V DC) isolated power supply, data output up to 16Hz and RS232, 485 and Modbus communication protocols. The Hyperion sensors can also be integrated into Valeport's SWiFT, rapidPro CTD and fastCTD profilers and interfaced to MIDAS CTD+ type instruments. -

Page 6: Linear Observation Range
To perform a quick linearity check, dilute the sample 1:1 with RO water. If the reading decreases by 50%, the sample is in the linear range. If the reading decreases by less than 50% or even increases, the sample is above the linear range. © 2022 – Valeport Ltd Page | 6... -
Page 7: Quenching
Photo-bleaching is dependent on exposure (intensity of light and duration) and wavelength (UV is more damaging than longer wavelengths). Use of more robust fluorophores is recommended to avoid photo-bleaching. * Reverse Osmosis ** De-Ionised © 2022 – Valeport Ltd Page | 7... -
Page 8: Turbidity
A photometric test report was commissioned by Valeport in accordance with BS EN 62471. For this the LED was set to 25 times the operational power and the sensor was classified as exempt. However, it is best practice to avoid extended exposure to the LED and it is recommended not to look directly into the sensor windows. -

Page 10: Data Acquisition
Prior to November 2020 (Serial No: 75100) a Hyperion was set to the default range, for its specific analyte, before leaving Valeport. After November 2020 MK2 PCBs were installed in all Hyperions and that removed the need to set the gain. If you have bought your Hyperion after November 2020 you can ignore this section. - Page 11 0903705A9 hyperion Nov 2 2020 14:03 >#038 Valeport tests >#401 ERROR PROTECTED >#401 ERROR PROTECTED >#401 ERROR PROTECTED >#401 ERROR PROTECTED >#401 ERROR PROTECTED >#401 ERROR PROTECTED >#401 ERROR PROTECTED ># ERROR ># ERROR >#400;5 ERROR PROTECTED © 2022 – Valeport Ltd Page | 11...
