Turbidity and Suspended Solids Transmitter
3. Sensor Installation
Important!
To ensure safe and optimal functionality of the SuSix
® transmitter,
the instructions below must be followed closely.
• The sensor must be mounted in a location where it is possible to per-
form a representative suspended solids measurement.
• If the suspended solids transmitter is mounted in open air, protect it
against the influence of the elements using for example a rain roof.
• Fittings and mountings must be capable of carrying the transmitter’s
weight (approx. 5 kg), and vibrations from for example pumps and
other equipment must be avoided.
• The system should be installed to facilitate access to the suspended
solids transmitter operator panel and sensor without risking personal
injury during normal operation, maintenance, cleaning of sensor, etc.
• The suspended solids transmitter must be connected to a mains outlet
that complies with national and local regulations.
• All cables must be installed, connected and mounted to minimize me-
chanical impact and electrical influence from other installations.
• The sensor cable’s maximum tensile load is adjusted to the sensor
weight.
• The sensor is a mechanical instrument. Be careful not to damage the
sensor windows. The accuracy will deteriorate, if the optics is subject
to heavy pollution, or if a steel brush is used for cleaning.
• All fuses are located on the suspended solid transmitter’s motherboard.
WARNING!
The suspended solids transmitter must not be powered until the
transmitter is correctly mounted and connected!
WARNING!
Connections to the suspended solids transmitter must not be
disconnected while the transmitter is powered.
