Model 556 / TF56-N Turbidity Monitoring System

Description The Turbidity Monitoring System consists of a TF56-N Turbidimeter and a 556 Converter designed to continuously monitor for oil and grease contamination in make-up water and condensate circulated back to the boiler feedwater system. It can also be used to monitor the supply from mains raw water, demineralisation and reverse osmosis water treatment plants. The turbidimeter is a precise, dual channel, scattered light turbidity monitor that uses light in the visible range (VIS) and Near Infrared Range (NIR) from 400 to 1100 nm. A precisely defined constant light beam penetrates the fluid medium and the light scattered from any particles (trace suspended solids, undissolved liquids or gas bubbles) in the medium is detected by four hermetically sealed silicon photodiodes at an angle of 11 ° . Simultaneously the unscattered light is detected by a reference photodiode. This unique dual channel design compensates for colour and disturbances in the medium. The sensor can measure very low particle sizes and concentrations. The converter has four fixed and one variable measuring range calibrated in ppm, providing continuous, real-time monitoring of a fluid medium’s turbidity. A 3-digit LED indicator displays turbidity as a percentage of the selected measuring range. Two independent set points and a 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA output are provided by the converter for alarms and real-time remote display of turbidity monitoring. An additional failsafe relay output is built in for remote sensing of converter lamp or power failure.
