Summary

General

None

• IP66 rated optical sensor comprising solid state laser diode, multi-element detector, high speed parallel processor, process sample flow cell, communications interface and interconnecting cables (150m). Range of fixed optical arrangements available, allowing different size ranges to be measured
• Flow cell suitable for inline or bypass eductor configurations, with range of path lengths for compatibility with process lines and particulate loading.
• Triclamp assembly of optical components for simplified maintenance.
• The flow cell is made of 316L stainless steel. Sample measurement zone and flow path are of seamless construction to comply with cGMP requirements. All seals are rated to IP66.
• Process connection via tri-clamp fittings to BS4825

Static unit - Fit to pipe or frame close by to sampling points

• Lockable IP66 rated cabinet - housing:
• Communication interface PCB - allows RS232 or RS422 connection to the PC.
• Maximum cable length is 15m using RS232. The RS422 connection should be used for longer length requirements.
• Diagnostic LED's at the Optical sensor
• Voltage is auto sensed in range 100 to 240 volts

• 10m of cable to connect between Optical Head and Interface box.
• 150m cable reel for connection between interface box and PC.
