Page 3: Introduction - Hyperion Optical Sensor
Instrument has a wide range (9 - 28V DC) isolated power supply, data output up to 16Hz and RS232, RS 485 and Modbus RT communication protocols. The Hyperion sensors can also be integrated into Valeport's SWiFT, rapidPro CTD and fastCTD profilers and interfaced to MIDAS CTD+ (400 series) type instruments. -

Page 6: Safety Statement
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. © 2023 – 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. © 2023 – 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. -

The set-up of these modes uses a macro like format where a command C02 or M16 will set the unit into a particular mode and configure multiple filter settings appropriately for that mode and update period. Other operational modes and filter settings are available - please contact Valeport with your specific requirements. © 2023 – Valeport Ltd... -

Page 12: Functional Check
By altering the angle of the target, the magnitude of the reading should change thereby showing the correct operation of the sensor. If the test target is missing then a piece of good quality white paper can be used. 4.1 User Calibration Factor and Offset © 2023 – Valeport Ltd Page | 12... - Page 13 Gain factor (a multiplication factor) and an Offset value (this value is added). Parameters of 1;0 will cause no effect to the Valeport calibrated value. It is recommended that this function is switched off when not in operation using command #086;0 or setting the factor to OFF using the Configure App.

Page 14: Operation With Multiple Dye Types
If your survey calls for dye tracing with more than one dye in the same water body, at the same time please contact Valeport for the compatibility of those dyes operating together. For example see below, using Rhodamine and Fluorescence together. It is possible that the Fluorescein fluorometer will give a false positive to the Rhodamine dye: ©... -

#700;1;1 Configure’s tool ribbon when set up for Hyperion: EnviroLog is Valeport’s name for a number of loggers and telemetry systems that use Modbus configuration. This particular configuration is designed for a scenario where the instrument is powered up, observation taken and then powered down again. This scenario is discussed in more detail below. - Page 21 If only a Fluorometer is interfaced then only 4, 2 byte registers need be read Type Modbus Register Modbus Register Number of Reply timing @ Modbus 19200 Baud 2 byte registers (in ms) F_DOUBLE 0x0FA0 4000 <40 See full listing of Modbus registers below. © 2023 – Valeport Ltd Page | 21...

Page 36: Setting The Gain (Units With A Serial Number Earlier Than 75100)
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 bought your Hyperion after November 2020 you can ignore this section. - Page 37 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 © 2023 – Valeport Ltd Page | 37...
