The CUA252 flow assembly is designed for the installation of
the CUS52D turbidity sensor. It can be used anywhere process
medium is conducted in pipelines or, following sampling, is
held in closed pipes.
• Turbidity measurement at all stages of the water treatment
process
• Final turbidity measurement in outlet of waterworks
• Turbidity measurement in inlet of waterworks
• Turbidity measurement for filter monitoring and filter
backwashing
• Turbidity measurement in drinking water networks
Your benefits
• Easy wall or pipe mounting
• Variable mounting
• Self-venting with vertical installation
• Suitable for use in drinking water thanks to PE100 material

3Connection example with bypass and orifice plate in the main pipe (supply from below)
1Orifice plate
No measures to increase pressure are required for branch pipes (pipes that branch off from the
main pipe).
To achieve flow through the assembly with a bypass, pressure p1 must be higher than pressure p2.
Install the orifice plate in the main pipe → 3, 4.
‣
The inlet and outlet connection of the flow assembly are always identical. The system is symmetrical.
1.Install the flow assembly vertically.
2.Connect the inflow at the bottom end (upward flow in the pipe).
Avoid buckles and loops in the hose system.
Pay attention to the installation instructions (flow direction) for the sensor.
Many media tend to develop gas bubbles in a depressurized state. The operation of the flow
assembly under pressure (adjustable valve after the flow assembly) prevents this behavior in many
cases.

Mounting the flow assembly in a bypass
1.Install a shut-off valve upstream and downstream from the flow assembly in the bypass line.
This makes it possible to perform maintenance tasks, such as the cleaning of the sensor,
without affecting the process.
2.Mount the assembly vertically.
3.Establish the medium connection using commercially available connection fittings.

The wastewater from the bubble trap is not suitable for feeding back into the process.
1.For the hose system, use PVC hoses with an internal diameter of 12 mm (0.5 in).
2.Secure the hose system using worm drive hose clips (not included in scope of delivery).
The inlet and outlet connection of the flow assembly are always identical. The system is symmetrical.
Mounting the flow assembly
1.Install the flow assembly vertically. The inflow must be connected at the bottom end (upward
flow in the pipe).
2.Insert an orifice plate into the upper assembly connection to obtain the desired volume flow
(included in the delivery).

Mounting the sensor
Orifice plates:
• 1 mm (0.04 in) for volume flow < 60 l/h (15.8 gal/h)
• 3 mm (0.12 in) for volume flow 60 to 100 l/h (15.8 to 26.4 gal/h)
• 5 mm (0.2 in) for volume flow > 100 l/h (26.4 gal/h)
Avoid buckles and loops in the hose system.
Pay attention to the installation instructions (flow direction) for the sensor .
Note the maximum pressure and maximum temperature when operating the bubble trap
→ 8.
1Optical windows
2Direction of flow
3Installation marking
Only insert turbidity sensors into the assembly with a 2" clamp.
1.Install the sensor in such a way that the optical windows of the sensor are aligned against the
direction of flow (item 2).
2.Use the installation marking (item 3) on the sensor to ensure the correct sensor orientation.
