Turbimax CUS51D Installation 3.4.2 Pipe installation Arrow 1 shows the flow direction. The installation angle α must not exceed 90°. The recommended installation angle is 75°. The optical windows of the sensor have to be aligned parallel to the flow direction (α = 90°) or face the flow direction (α...
Installation Turbimax CUS51D The following figure illustrates various installation positions in pipes and indicates whether they are permitted or not. a0013011 Fig. 14: Orientation and installation positions (with retractable assembly CUA451) • The pipeline diameter must be at least 100 mm (4") if reflective materials (e.g. stainless steel) are used.
Turbimax CUS51D Wiring Wiring WARNING Device is energized Improper connection can cause injury or death. • The electrical connection must only be carried out by a certified electrician. • Technical personnel must have read and understood the instructions in this manual and must adhere to them.
Device description Turbimax CUS51D Device description Sensor design The sensor is designed for the continuous in-situ measurement of turbidity and solids content. The sensor is designed as a 40 mm sensor that can be operated directly and completely in the process without the need for further sampling (in situ).

Device description Turbimax CUS51D The turbidity sensor CUS51D is equipped with two independing sensor units that are arranged in parallel. The application-specific analysis of both signals results in stable measured values. a0012966 Fig. 19: Arrangement of the light souces and the light receivers Light sources 1 and 2 135°...
Turbimax CUS51D Device description Measuring methods Four-beam pulsed light method The method is based on two light sources and four light receivers. Long-life LEDs are used as monochromatic light sources. To eliminate interference from extraneous light sources, these LEDs are pulsed.

Device description Turbimax CUS51D 135° backscattered light method The transmitted light beam is scattered by the solid matter particles in the medium. The backscattered beams are detected by scattered light receivers, which are arranged next to the light sources. The turbidity of the medium is determined by the amount of backscattered light.
Turbimax CUS51D Device description Calibration CAUTION Risk of injury caused by acid or medium • Switch off the cleaning unit before removing the sensor from the medium. The sensor enables measurement in a variety of ways that are adapted to suit the specific measurement problems.

Device description Turbimax CUS51D 5.4.2 Stability criterion During the calibration process, the measured values returned by the sensor are checked to ensure they remain constant. The stability criterion defines the maximum amount the measured values may deviate during calibration and still be accepted.
Turbimax CUS51D Device description Additional calibration points, recalibration Points can be added to an existing calibration. The maximum number of points per data record is also limited to 5 here. In this way, different media or concentrations can be included in the calibration at different times.
Maintenance Turbimax CUS51D Maintenance You have to perform maintenance tasks at regular intervals. We recommend setting the maintenance times in advance in an operations journal or log. The maintenance cycle primarily depends on the system, the installation conditions and the medium in which measurement takes place.
