Summary Thank you for purchasing an Analite NEP-9500 series turbidity probe. It will give you years of service if you install and maintain it according to the guidelines set out in this manual. The Analite NEP-9500 series of turbidity probes are an enhanced version of our successful Analite 90 and 95 series probes.
Applications Analite NEP-9500 probes typical use includes applications such as: 1. Monitoring of streams and rivers 2. Monitoring of water storage bodies including stratification studies 3. Intermediate and final effluent treatment monitoring 4. Hydrological run off studies 5. Ground and bore water analysis 6.
Safety Do not connect anything that is potentially electrical to the metal body of the sensor as it may result in electrical shocks that could harm you or destroy your instruments. Do not attempt to force the wiper mechanism while operating or you may harm yourself due to the higher torque level.

Measurement NEP-9500-PLUS Technique ISO-7027-90 Range To customer requirements ±2.5V or 4 – 20mA, where -2.5V or 4mA = 0NTU Output span 0 to + V and 0 to +2.5V outputs are also available Specify output at time of order Response time Approximately 1 second Linearity 1% Accuracy...
Pinout & wiring diagram Long cable lengths are common; therefore, some electrical factors should be considered and these are discussed below. There are two wiping protocols available on the NEP-9500 probes: 1. A single wipe externally initiated by momentarily resetting the probe (please specify during the ordering).
4.2 4-20mA current output version Analite NEP-9500 probes may have an analogue 4-20 current output with a maximum load rating of 200 Ohms, consequently cable loop resistance should be considered. The Polyurethane (PUR) cable normally supplied with the probes has a nominal loop resistance of 4.6 Ohms per 100m. A schematic of the probe and its load is shown below.
4.3 SubConn connection The standard version of the NEP-9500 probes are glanded cable connectors. Optional SubConn 6-pin marine connectors are also available. The pinout configuration of the NEP-9500 is the following: SubConn pin number Meaning Color Ground Black Signal output White Power Shield...

Installation There are aspects to consider when preparing to install the Analite NEP-9500 series probes in the field: 1. Installation of the probe properly into the environment where measurements are to take place 2. Physical cabling considerations 3. Electrical cabling considerations 7.1 Installing the probe for the first time The probe is normally installed with the optics pointing downwards (but not vertical) or in a horizontal alignment.
7.2 Physical cabling considerations The cable supplied with the Analite NEP-9500 series probes is a specially selected PUR sheathed and screened cable selected for strength, chemical resilience and exceptional resistance to cuts, nicks and abrasion. The cable part number is NEP-CBL. Nevertheless, care should be taken during the installation process of the probe and its cabling to ensure that the cable is not subjected to persistent pulling, snagging abrasion or severe compression.
Deployment 8.1 Installation Installation instructions will vary depending on your project requirements. A typical example involves the use of an extension cable for SubConn connector option which can be purchased separately. Connect the SubConn female extension cable to the probe according to the matching pin configuration as shown below: Make sure the connector is sealed by screwing tight the connector.
8.2 Deploy the probe 1. Start by considering the environment of operation: always operate wearing appropriate safety equipment in safe operational conditions. 2. The probe is normally installed with the optics pointing downwards (but not vertical) or in a horizontal alignment.

3. In a simple application, the probe is simply immersed into the water to the desired depth, but within the depth rating of the probe. Please note the depth rating is based on stagnant water. 4. Allowances must be made for the effect of flowing water to ensure the stagnant depth rating is not exceeded.
Retrieve the probe Carefully pull the sensor out of the water. Clean the sensor with fresh water and carefully dry the connector (blow air if necessary). Then disconnect the cable from the connector. Store the probe in appropriate conditions. Manual | NEP-9500-PLUS series turbidity probe Page 19 | 21 Status: Final | Not confidential V20200309...
