3.1 Product design
The sensor is designed for continuous in-situ determination of interfaces and solids
content.
The sensor is designed as a 40 mm sensor that can be operated directly and completely in
the process without the need for further sampling (in-situ).
The sensor includes all necessary modules:
• Power supply
• Light sources
• Detectors,
Detectors record the measuring signals, digitize them and process them into a measured
value.
• Sensor microcontroller
This is responsible for controlling internal processes and transmitting data.
All data - including the calibration data - are stored in the sensor. The sensor can thus be
precalibrated and used at a measuring point, calibrated externally, or used for several
measuring points with different calibrations.
3.1.1 Measuring principle
For turbidity measurement a light beam is directed through the medium and is deflected
from its original direction by optically denser particles, e.g. particles of solid matter. This
process is also called scattering.
The incident light is scattered in many directions, i.e. at different angles to the direction of
propagation. 2 angle ranges are of particular interest here:
• Light scattered at a 90° angle is used primarily for turbidity measurement in drinking
water.
• Light scattered at a 135° angle extends the dynamic range for high particle densities.

2Principle mode of operation of turbidity sensor
If the particle density in the medium is low, a large amount of light is scattered in the
90°channel and a small amount of light is scattered in the 135° channel. As the particle
density increases, this ratio shifts (more light in the 135° channel, less light in the 90°
channel).
3Signal distribution as a function of the particle density
IrRelative intensity
FNU Turbidity unit
The CUS51D turbidity sensor has 2 sensor units, which are independent of each other and
arranged in parallel. The application-dependent evaluation of both signals leads to stable
measured values.

4Arrangement of light sources and light receivers
The sensor covers a broad range of turbidity and solids measurements thanks to the
optical arrangement with 2 light sources, each with 2 light receivers placed at different
angles (90° and 135°).
• As soon as the customer selects an application, e.g. activated sludge, the optical method
best suited for the particular measuring task is automatically activated in the sensor (e.g.
90° measurements with both light sources).
• The double sensing system (2 light sources with 2 receivers per source) largely
compensates for measured errors caused by fouling (4-beam pulsed light method
→ 9).
The sensor types available vary in terms of their measuring ranges and therefore the
range of available applications.
3.1.2 Measuring methods
4-beam pulsed light method
The method is based on 2 light sources and 4 light receivers. Long-life LEDs are used as
monochromatic light sources. These LEDs are pulsed alternately and generate 4 scattered
light signals per LED pulse at the receivers.
This offsets interference influences such as extraneous light, LED aging, fouling of
windows and absorption in the medium. Depending on the chosen application, different
scattered light signals are processed. The signal type, number and calculation are stored in
the sensor.

90° scattered light method
Measurement is performed with a wavelength of 860 Nm (634.3 lbf ft), as described in
ISO 7027 / EN 27027.
The emitted light beam is scattered by the solid particles in the medium. The scattered
radiation generated in this way is measured by scattered light receivers, which are
arranged at an angle of 90° to the light sources. The turbidity of the medium is determined
by the amount of scattered light.

135° backscattered light method
The emitted light beam is scattered by the solid particles in the medium. The
backscattering generated is measured by scattered light receivers, which are arranged next
to the light sources. The turbidity of the medium is determined based on the quantity of
back-scattered light. It is possible to measure very high turbidity values with this type of
scattered light measurement.

14Orientations and positions (with CUA451 retractable assembly )
• When using reflective materials (e.g. stainless steel), the pipe diameter must be at least
100 mm (3.9 in). An onsite calibration is recommended.
• Install the sensor in places with consistent flow conditions.
• The best installation location is in the ascending pipe (item 1). Installation is also
possible in the horizontal pipe (item 5).
• Do not install in places where air spaces or bubbles occur (item 3) or where
sedimentation may occur (item 2).
• Avoid installation in the down pipe (item 4).
• When measuring turbidity < 200 FNU, the backscattering of the pipe wall causes
distortions in the measured values. For this reason, a multipoint calibration is
recommended here.
• Avoid fittings downstream from pressure reduction stages which can lead to outgassing.
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.

can decrease despite increasing turbidity or increasing TS content. The indicated
operational range is reduced in the case of highly absorbing (e.g. dark) media.
In the case of highly absorbing (e.g. dark) media, determine the operational range

experimentally beforehand.
8.1.2 Calibration
The sensor is precalibrated on leaving the factory. It can therefore be used in a wide variety
of applications (e.g. clear water measurements) without the need for additional
calibration. The factory calibrations are based on a 3-point calibration in each case. The
formazine application is already fully calibrated and can be used without any further
calibration.
All other applications are precalibrated with reference samples and require calibration to
the corresponding application.
In addition to the factory calibration data, which cannot be modified, the sensor has five
other data records to be used for storing process calibrations.
Application selection
During initial commissioning or calibration at the CM44x, select the appropriate

The "thin sludge" model enables measurements in any sludge applications from 0 to 5
g/l. The "univ. sludge" model enables measurements in any sludge applications from
0 to 50 g/l. These models can be calibrated at a single point in the process during
operation.
1-point and 2-point calibrations are based on the data record stored internally in the
device. Calibration at 3 or more points always causes the measuring curve to be
recalculated.
For multipoint calibrations, the calibration points should always cover the complete
measuring range of the application. Points outside the specified measuring range of
the application (model) may not be selected.
A calibration with zero water (0 g/l) will result in unusable calibrations for the following
applications:

Calibration of the CUS51D sensor
Preparing the CUS51D sensor for calibration
1.Clean the optical components (windows) of the sensor with water and a brush.
2.Place the sensor into the calibration vessel.
The sensor must be placed in the sample at an angle, not vertically. This prevents air
bubbles from adhering to the windows.

29Immersing the sensor
Observe the following:
• Sensor LEDs should be directed at the center of the calibration vessel.
• The minimum distance of the sensor to the vessel wall is 10 mm (0.4 in).
• The sensor should be distanced as far as possible from the bottom of the vessel, but at
least 10 mm (0.4 in) of the sensor must be immersed.
Secure the sensor in this position (ideally using a laboratory stand).

Note the following during calibration:
• The calibration points should cover the complete measuring range.
• During calibration, ensure that the medium is well homogenized (use a magnetic
stirrer).
• Determine the laboratory measured values with utmost care (the quality of the
laboratory measurement has a direct influence on the accuracy of the sensor).
• Apply maximum precision when dosing volumes for the sample and the dilution water
(use a graduated cylinder).
• Air bubbles on optical components significantly interfere with the calibration result. For
this reason, remove air bubbles before every calibration action.
• Make sure the medium is always well mixed (homogeneity).

• Avoid temperature changes during the calibration.
Ensure that the temperatures of the dilution water and the medium are as identical as
possible.
• Do not alter the position of the sensor during calibration.
• It is also possible to edit the calibration set points in the CM44x at a later stage (e.g. if
the reference value of the laboratory measurement is not yet known at the time of
calibration).
Perform the calibration (example of a 3-point calibration)
1.Select a data record on the CM44x transmitter.
2.Wait at least 1 minute (to stabilize).
3.Start the calibration for measuring point 1 (e.g.2 l (0.5 gal) sample with a
concentration of 6 g/l).
4.Enter the value of the sample determined in the laboratory as the set point (e.g. 6
g/l) or edit the value later.
A0020489
5.Perform a 1:2 dilution of the sample. Add water (2 l (0.5 gal)), results in 3 g/l in the
example.
A0030901
6.Avoid air bubbles beneath the sensor.
7.Calibrate measuring point 2. For the set point, enter half of the laboratory value.
8.Perform a 1:3 dilution of the sample. Add water (2 l (0.5 gal)), results in 2 g/l in the
example.
9.Avoid air bubbles beneath the sensor.
10. Calibrate measuring point 3. For the set point, enter one third of the laboratory
value, or edit the value at a later stage.
The calibration can also be performed in increasing concentrations (less advisable).

Stability criterion
During calibration, the measured values provided by the sensor are checked to ensure they
are constant. The maximum deviations that may occur in measured values during a
calibration are defined in the stability criterion.
The specifications comprise the following:
• 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
The calibration resumes as soon as the stability criteria for signal values and temperature
have been reached. If these criteria are not met in the maximum time frame of 5 minutes,
no calibration is performed - a warning is issued.
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 highest possible calibration
quality in the shortest possible time frame while taking external conditions into account.
For calibrations in the field in adverse weather and environmental conditions, the
measured value windows selected can be suitably large and the time frame selected
can be suitably short.
8.1.3 Cyclic cleaning
For cyclic cleaning, compressed air is the most suitable option. The cleaning unit is either
supplied or can be retrofitted, and is attached to the sensor head. The following settings
are recommended for the cleaning unit:
