Features and applications
The Rosemount T56 Turbidimeter is intended for the determination of turbidity in water. Low stray light, high stability, efficient
bubble rejection, and a display resolution of 0.001 NTU make the turbidimeter ideal for monitoring the turbidity of filtered drinking
water. You can also use the turbidimeter in applications other than drinking water treatment. Examples are monitoring wastewater
discharges, condensate returns, and clarifiers.
The turbidimeter consists of a transmitter, which accepts either one or two sensors, the sensors themselves, and a debubbler/
measuring chamber and cable for each sensor. The cable plugs into the sensor and the transmitter, making setup fast and easy.
Sensors can be located as far as 50 ft. (15.2 m) away from the transmitter.
■
ISO 7027 sensors use a near infrared light-emitting diode (LED).
■
The turbidimeter incorporates the popular and easy to use Rosemount 56 Transmitter.
■
4-20 mA analog outputs are fully scalable.
■
Every unit includes four alarm relays with interval timer functions. Alarms are fully programmable for high/low logic and dead
band.
The turbidimeter is available in an optional configuration in which the transmitter, sensor(s), and debubbling flow cell(s) are
mounted on a single back plate. The sensor cables are pre-wired to the transmitter, so setup is exceptionally fast and easy. Simply
mount the turbidimeter on a wall, bring in power and sample, and provide a drain. To order this option, consult the factory.

11. Interconnecting cable shall plug into the sensor and analyzer. Integral cable or cable with flying leads shall not be permitted.
Maximum cable length shall be 50 ft. (15.2 m).
12. Field wiring terminal blocks for power, sensor and analog outputs shall be removable for ease of wiring.
13. The transmitter enclosure shall be Type 4X/CSA 4 (IP65), and the power requirements shall be in the range of 85 – 265 Vac,
47.5 – 65.0 Hz or 2030 Vdc.
14. If so programmed, the transmitter shall convert measured turbidity to a total suspended solids (TSS) reading using a linear
equation entered by the user. Units for TSS shall be user selectable among ppm, mg/L, or no units.
15. HART® digital communications shall be available as an ordering option.
