Page 9: Installation And Choice Of Suspended Solids / Turbidity Sensors
Channel Setup Installation and Choice of Suspended Solids / Turbidity Sensors Quadbeam Sensors incorporate engineering improvements to eliminate water ingress and also withstand the rapid temperature cycling (from 100C to 800C) which occurs during CIP cleaning cycles. By design, Quadbeam sensors automatically compensate for component ageing, sensor fouling and daylight interference.

Page 13: Units
Channel Setup Mode Selecting off-line causes any setpoints associated with this channel to de-energise. Also causes any current outputs associated to hold their current value, useful for when commissioning or calibrating the instrument. When the unit is placed in an off-line state “off-line” will appear in the channel messages section on the front screen.
Page 14: Range
Channel Setup Range The range for the display can be set by selecting the decimal point position giving 9.999, 99.99, 999.9 and 9999. These again are for display and setpoint / current output purposes only. Note. The ranges for the “%” units also include 100.0 and 10.00.
Page 15: Cip Input
– Save Selection CIP Input When assigned to a suspended solids channel the MXD70 series digital inputs feature a CIP function. This CIP input indicates to the instrument that a CIP event is in progress so that the sensor can be disabled so not to cause overstressing of the probe.
Page 16: Linearisation Curve Setup
Channel Setup Linearisation Curve Setup With many solutions the rate of infra-red absorption is non linear as the solids concentration increases. The purpose of this function is to take the probe signal values from several samples and convert this non-linearity to a straight line output. In many cases this is the only calibration procedure required. It is recommended that the user should first prepare or obtain from the process a sample, which is as close as possible to the maximum range of suspended solids for which the instrument is to be configured.
Page 17 Channel Setup Setup Curve Point Enter the equivalent engineering value for this point. Units and scale depend upon the settings in the channel setup menu. The sensor must be placed in the required sample before pressing the enter button. / –...
Page 18 Channel Setup Manual Curve Entry Manual Curve Entry also allows the user to set the number of points used in the curve. Then for each point the user can define the engineering value and then equate it to a known probe reading previously obtained.
Page 19: Calibration
Channel Calibration Calibration Calibration Procedures When trying to calibrate an instrument to measure suspended solids it is often difficult to keep the solids in suspension long enough for an accurate calibration to be made. The use of a magnetic stirrer in many cases will improve this.

Channel Calibration Mode Selecting off-line causes any setpoints associated with this channel to de-energise. Also causes any current outputs associated to hold their current value, useful for when commissioning or calibrating the instrument.

Page 23: Calibration Reminder
Channel Calibration Calibration Reminder By enabling the calibration reminder the user can configure a calibration interval, which when expired will activate an alarm and channel message on the front screen. If the interval has expired and the alarm has activated, then on the completion of a successful sensor calibration, the alarm will clear and the next cal date will be automatically incremented by calibration interval.
Page 24: Resetting The User Calibration
Channel Calibration Defer Calibration Date Turns off the alarm and increases the calibration interval by an extra 7 days. Only appears once the calibration interval has expired. – Increase Interval – Cancel Resetting the User Calibration If required the user can reset the user calibrations to their default states.
