3.1 Sensor design
The sensor has a diameter of 40 mm and can be operated directly and completely in the
process without the need for further sampling (in situ). One version of the sensor
measures the amount of nitrate in the medium while another version measures the SAC
value of the medium.
The sensor comprises the following assemblies:
• Power supply
• High-voltage generation for the strobe lamp,
• Cuvette
Central component in which the measuring light interacts with the medium.
• Receiver assembly
Detect the measuring signals, digitize them and process them to form a measured value.
• Controller
Responsible for controlling internal sensor processes and transmitting data.
All data - including the calibration data - are stored in the sensor. The sensor can be
precalibrated and used at a measuring point, calibrated externally, or used for several
measuring points with different calibrations.

3.3 Operating principle
3.3.1 Measuring principle
The light from a pulsed, high-stability strobe lamp (item 3) passes through the measuring
1)
path
1 and 5). A filter upstream from the receivers only lets through light in the measuring
wavelength or reference wavelength.
(item 2). A beam splitter (item 6) directs the light beam to the two receivers (items
A0013213
4Measuring principle of nitrate sensor
1Measuring receiver with filter
2Cuvette gap
3Strobe lamp
4Lens
5Reference receiver with filter
6Beam splitter
Within the measuring path, the medium in the cuvette (water, dissolved substances and
particles) absorbs light across the entire spectrum. In the measuring wavelength range, the
measured component
2)
takes an additional amount of energy from the light.
For the calculation of the measured value, the ratio of the light signal of the measuring
wavelength to the light signal of the reference wavelength is calculated in order to
minimize the effect of turbidity and lamp aging.
This change in the ratio can be converted to determine the nitrate concentration or the
SAC value. This dependency is non-linear.
Conclusion:
• Long measuring paths are required for low concentrations of the measured component.
For clear water measurements, this is achieved with the 8 mm cuvette for nitrate
measurement and the 40 mm cuvette for SAC measurement.
• For high turbidity values, longer measuring paths result in the total absorption of light the measured values are no longer valid.
The nitrate sensor with the 2 mm cuvette is recommended for media with high turbidity
values (activated sludge application).
The SAC sensor with the 2 mm cuvette is ideal for measuring the organic load in the
inlet of municipal wastewater treatment plants.

2)Nitrate or substances that contribute to the spectral absorption coefficient (SAC)

Viomax CAS51DDevice description
3.3.2 Nitrate measurement
The sensor is designed for measuring nitrate. As nitrite is also measured, it could also be
regarded as an NOx sensor.
Nitrate ions absorb UV light in the range of approx. 190 to 230 nm. Nitrite ions have a
similar absorption rate in the same range.
The sensor measures the light intensity of the 214 nm wavelength (measuring channel).
At this wavelength, nitrate and nitrite ions absorb light in proportion to their
concentration, while the light intensity in the reference channel remains virtually
unchanged at 254 nm.
Interference factors, such as turbidity, fouling or organic hydrocarbons, are minimized.
The signal ratio between the reference wavelength and measurement wavelength
constitutes the measurement result. This ratio is converted to the concentration of nitrate
using the calibration curve programmed into the sensor.
3.3.3 Cross-interference when measuring with the nitrate version
The following have a direct impact on the measuring range:
• Total solids (TS) and turbidity
• Sludge properties
• Nitrite
Trends:
• A higher proportion of TS or greater turbidity reduces the upper end of the measuring
range, resulting in a smaller measuring range.
• High COD
measuring range.
• Nitrite is measured as nitrate, thus resulting in a higher measured value.
The following can be deduced from the interdependencies cited above:
• Sludge floc causes scattering in the medium, resulting in the attenuation of both the
measuring and reference signal to varying degrees. This in turn can bring about a
change in the nitrate value due to turbidity.
• High concentrations of oxidizable substances
in the measured value.
• Nitrite absorbs light in a similar wavelength range to nitrate and is measured along with
nitrate. The dependency is constant: 1.0 mg/l nitrite is displayed as 0.8 mg/l nitrate.
• An adjustment to the customer process is always worthwhile.
3)
levels reduce the upper end of the measuring range, resulting in a smaller
4)
in the medium may result in an increase
3.3.4 SAC measurement
Many organic substances absorb light in the range of 254 nm. In the SAC sensor,
absorption on the measuring wavelength (254 nm) is compared with the largely
unaffected reference measurement at 550 nm.
KHP (potassium hydrogen phthalate C8H5KO4) is the established organic reference in SAC
measurement operations. That is why the sensor is calibrated in the factory using KHP.
The SAC value can be regarded as a trend indicator of the organic load in a medium. For
this purpose, it is converted to COD, TOC, BOD and DOC
factors:
c (TOC) = 0.4705 * c (KHP)
c (COD) = 1.176 * c (KHP)
c (BOD) = 1.176 * c (KHP)
c (DOC) = 0.4705 * c (KHP)
3)COD = Chemical Oxygen Demand
4)Specified as COD. Corresponds to the quantity of oxygen that would be required to oxidize the substances if oxygen were the oxidizing agent.
The ratio to SAC (based on KHP) is calculated as follows:
1/m = 1.487 mg/l COD = 1.487 mg/l BOD = 0.595 mg/l TOC = 0.595 mg/l DOC
Many components that absorb light at 254 nm deviate significantly from KHP in terms of
their absorption behavior. For this reason, an adjustment to the customer process is
worthwhile.
3.3.5 Cross-interference when measuring with the SAC version
The following have a direct impact on the measuring range:
• Turbidity
• Color
Trends:
• Oxidizable substances, absorbing at 550 nm, corrupt the measurement result. In
instances of this nature, a comparison or calibration is necessary.
• Coloration that absorbs in the green spectral range increases the measured value.
• Oxidizable substances with spectral properties that differ to those of KHP (potassium
hydrogen phthalate) provide measurement results that can deviate from the factory
calibration. In instances of this nature, a comparison or adjustment is necessary.
• A higher proportion of TS or greater turbidity reduces the upper end of the measuring
range, resulting in a smaller measuring range.
• Sludge floc causes scattering in the medium, resulting in the attenuation of both the
measuring and reference signal to varying degrees. This in turn can bring about a
change in the measured value due to turbidity.

To ensure correct measurement, the windows in the cuvette must be free from any
sedimentation. The best way to ensure this is through the use of a cleaning unit
(accessory) operated by compressed air.
For horizontal orientations:
‣
Mount the sensor in such a way that air bubbles can escape from the cuvette slot (do
not point it downwards).
This type of installation is particularly suitable for strong or turbulent medium flow
(>0.5 m/s (1.6 ft/s)) in basins or channels. A cleaning unit (accessory) operated by
compressed air significantly extends the maintenance intervals for the sensor.
The chain retainer is particularly suitable for applications that require a sufficient distance
between the mounting location and the edge of the aeration basin. As the assembly is
freely suspended, any vibration of the upright post is practically ruled out.
The swinging movement of the chain retainer enhances the self-cleaning effect of the
optics. A cleaning unit (accessory) operated by compressed air significantly extends the
maintenance intervals for the sensor.

sufficiently.
7.1 Calibration
Calibration is performed in the process by comparing the values to an external standard
method, by calibrating with standard solutions or by using a combination of both (addition
of standard).
7.1.1 Factory calibration
Nitrate sensor
The sensor is precalibrated on leaving the factory.
As such, it can be used in a wide range of clear water measurements without the need for
additional calibration.
SAC sensor
The sensor is precalibrated on leaving the factory (calibrated with KHP).
Calibration to the customer process is nevertheless advantageous in the majority of cases.
Reason: Organic compounds other than KHP react differently in the spectrum.
The factory calibration is based on 20 calibration points and is adjusted at three points
during production. The factory calibration cannot be deleted and can be retrieved at any
time. Single-point and two-point calibrations - performed as customer calibrations - are
referenced to this factory calibration.
7.1.2 Types of calibration
In addition to the factory calibrations, which cannot be changed, the sensor contains six
additional data records for storing process calibrations or for adaptation to the relevant
measuring point (application). Each calibration data record can have up to five calibration
points.
The sensor offers a wide range of options for adapting the measurement to the application
in question:
• Calibration or adjustment (1 to 5 points)
• Entry of a factor (multiplication of measured values by a constant factor)
• Entry of an offset (addition/subtraction of a constant factor to/from the measured
values)
• Duplication of factory calibration data records
One-point or multiple point calibration
You do not have to remove the sensor from the medium for calibration. You can calibrate it
directly in the application.
1.For the calibration, ensure that the measuring gap is not soiled with deposit buildup:
Clean the measuring gap of the sensor (remove soiling and deposits).

2.To perform the calibration, immerse the sensor in the medium in such a way that the
measuring gap is completely filled with the medium.
All air bubbles and air pockets must be cleaned out of the measuring gap during
immersion.
• In the calibration table, the actual values can be edited as well as the set points
(right and left columns).
• Additional pairs of calibration values (actual values and set points) can be added, if
required, even without measurement in a medium.
Lines interpolate between the calibration points.
Give your calibration data records meaningful and useful names.
‣
For example, the name could contain the name of the application on which your data
record was originally based. This makes it easier for you to distinguish between different
data records.
Principle of a 1-point calibration
The measured error between the measured value of the sensor and the laboratory
measured value is too large. This is corrected by a 1-point calibration.

Principle of a 2-point calibration
Measured value deviations are to be compensated for at 2 different points in an
application (e.g. the maximum and minimum value of the application). This aims to ensure
a maximum level of accuracy between these two extreme values.

Principle of entering a factor
With the "Factor" function, the measured values are multiplied by a constant factor. The
functionality corresponds to that of a 1-point calibration.
Example:
This type of adjustment can be selected if the measured values are compared to the
laboratory values over a longer period of time and all values are too low by a constant
factor, e.g. 10%, in relation to the laboratory value (target sample value).
In the example, the adjustment is made by entering the factor 1.1.

7.1.3 Stability criterion
During the calibration process, the measured values are checked to ensure that they
remain constant.
You use the stability criterion to define maximum deviations during a calibration. Only a
measured value within the specified deviation is accepted.
The stability criterion includes:
• The maximum permitted deviation in temperature measurement
• The maximum permitted deviation in measured value as a %
• the minimum time frame in which these values must be maintained
If the measured value or temperature deviate more than is permitted in the specified time
frame, this calibration point becomes invalid and a warning is issued.
Endress+Hauser31
Page 32
OperationViomax CAS51D
The stability criteria are used to monitor the quality of the individual calibration points in
the course of the calibration process. The aim is to achieve the best possible calibration
quality in the shortest possible time frame while taking external conditions into account.
• For high-precision calibrations in the laboratory, the maximum deviation permitted in
the measured value can be kept as small as possible and the time frame selected can be
as long as possible..
• For calibrations in the field in adverse weather and environmental conditions, the
maximum deviation permitted in the measured value can be kept suitably large and the
time frame selected can be kept suitably short.

7.1.4 Determining the reference values in the laboratory
Nitrate sensor
1.Take a representative sample of the medium.
2.Take suitable measures to ensure that the process of nitrate reduction in the sample
does not progress any further, such as immediate filtration (0.45 µm) of the sample
as per DIN 38402.
3.Determine the concentration of nitrate in the sample using the laboratory method
(for example, by colorimetric means using a cuvette test ‐ the standard method as per
DIN 38405 Part 9).
SAC sensor
1.Take a representative sample of the medium.
2.Take suitable measures to ensure that the process of biological and chemical
reduction in the sample does not progress any further.
3.Determine the measured values of your sample array using the laboratory method
(for example, by colorimetric means using a cuvette test).
7.1.5 Nitrate sensor
Processes with nitrate values > 0.1 mg/l
1.Take sample and determine nitrate concentration in the laboratory.
2.Calibrate and adjust the sensor using the laboratory value.
Processes with very different nitrate values
1.At time A, take a sample with a high concentration, and measure and calibrate the
sample.
2.At time B - which can be a few days later - take a sample with a low concentration,
and measure and calibrate the second value.
Calibration with the addition of standard
If the sludge parameters tend to be constant, you can perform the calibration with a
sample with a low concentration of nitrate and then add standard to the sample.
1.Take a larger sample (bucket) and analyze some of it by colorimetric means.
2.Calibrate the value of the calorimetric measurement in the sensor.
3.Add standard to the sample and determine the laboratory value.
4.Calibrate the laboratory value of the sample with added standard in the sensor.
32Endress+Hauser

Viomax CAS51DOperation
Avoid incorrect measurements.
Drinking water may contain higher concentrations of nitrate and is not suitable as a
‣
blank value. Use fully deionized water as a blank value.
During calibration, make sure the sample is homogeneous.
‣
When calibrating, start with a low concentration and increase the concentrations
‣
gradually to prevent nitrate carryover.
Clean and dry the sensor after a calibration. Ensure that there is no medium residue in
‣
the cuvette gap. In this way, you avoid mixing the different samples and changing the
nitrate concentrations.
7.1.6 SAC sensor
The required data record is activated by selecting the application in question and can be
adapted to that application using the following options:
• Calibration (1 to 10 points)
• Entry of a factor (multiplication of measured values by a constant factor)
• Entry of an offset (addition/subtraction of a constant factor to/from the measured
values)
• Duplication of factory calibration data records
• Adjustment of the conversion factors
Further data records can be created in the sensor and adapted to the application by
means of calibration or by entering a factor or offset. Two free, unused data records
are available for this. The number of free data records can be increased if necessary by
deleting (sample) data records that are not required. The sample data records are
restored to factory status when the sensor is reset.
General calibration steps
1.Take a sample.
2.Determine the SAC value of the sample in the laboratory.
3.Calibrate and adjust the sensor using the laboratory value.
In the SAC sensor version, the calculated variables COD, TOC, BOD and DOC can also be
output if desired, in addition to the actual measured variable. These variables are based on
the following ratios:
Sometimes the conversion factors for COD, TOC, BOD or DOC are predetermined by control
bodies. In such instances, these factors can be adjusted as follows:
1.Copy the factory data record to a free data record of your choice in the SAC basic
setting.
A copy is necessary because the factory data record cannot be modified. If you already have
another data record, you can change its factors directly.
2.Activate the new data record. (In the Setupmenu)
3.Set the desired factor. (In the CALmenu)
4.Set the device to the desired measured variable. (In the Setupmenu)
Operating Instructions Memosens inputs BA01245C.
The SAC sensor can be calibrated for the measured variables SAC, COD, TOC, BOD and
DOC.
Endress+Hauser33
Page 34
OperationViomax CAS51D
If the sensor has been calibrated for the measured variable SAC, the conversion factors for
COD, TOC, BOD or DOC can be adjusted at a later stage. If calibrated for TOC, COD, BOD or
DOC, only the factor for the measured variable in use can be changed subsequently.
Avoid incorrect measurements.
Drinking water contains many organic elements. The use of fully deionized water as a
‣
blank is also recommended here.
During calibration, make sure the medium is homogeneous.
‣
Avoid any carryover of organic elements during calibration.
‣
Processes with widely varying SAC values
Record calibration points for different operating statuses. Example of a WWTP inlet:
• After a rainy spell
• In "normal conditions"
• After a dry spell
1.Save the points in a data record of your choice and add the associated laboratory
results.
2.Activate the calibration once you have set a sufficient number of points.
While this type of calibration can be more time-consuming, it allows the precise
adjustment of the measurement technology to the operating conditions of the plant.
7.1.7 Calibrating and adjusting the sensor
To calibrate the sensor, use the same medium sample or sample array that you used to
determine the laboratory measured values. The sample array can also be pure standard
solutions.
The general sequence of a calibration is as follows:
1.Select data record.
2.Place sensor in medium.
3.During calibration, ensure that the medium is well homogenized.
4.Start the calibration for the measuring point.
5.If you wish to calibrate just one point:
End the calibration by accepting the calibration data.
Otherwise continue with the next step.
6.Add parent solution to the sample for the second measuring point and determine its
measured value. The reference value is calculated from the laboratory measured
value plus the added concentration.
7.Repeat the previous step as often as needed until you have reached the desired
number of calibration points (max. 5).
To avoid incorrect calibration from carryover:
• Always go from a low concentration to a high concentration.
• Clean and dry the sensor after each measurement.
• Make sure to remove medium residue in the sensor gap and in the connection opening
for the compressed air (e.g. by rinsing with the next calibration solution).
