Basic safety instructions OUSAF11
2 Basic safety instructions
2.1 Requirements for the personnel
• Installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of the measuring system may be
carried out only by specially trained technical personnel.
• The technical personnel must be authorized by the plant operator to carry out the specified
activities.
• The electrical connection may be performed only by an electrical technician.
• The technical personnel must have read and understood these Operating Instructions and
must follow the instructions contained therein.
• Measuring point faults may be repaired only by authorized and specially trained personnel.
Repairs not described in the Operating Instructions provided may only be carried out
directly by the manufacturer or by the service organization.
2.2 Designated use
The OUSAF11 sensor measures the VIS/NIR absorption of liquids. The sensor is suitable for
use in a wide range of applications , such as:
• Interphase detection
• Applications in the food and beverage industry
– Milk detection in CIP solutions
– Phase separation, e.g. milk/water
– Product loss detection in outlet
• Measurement of solids in:
– Primaries industry
– Mining
Use of the device for any purpose other than that described, poses a threat to the safety of
people and of the entire measuring system and is therefore not permitted.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-designated use.
2.3 Occupational safety
As the user, you are responsible for complying with the following safety conditions:
• Installation guidelines
• Local standards and regulations
Electromagnetic compatibility
• The product has been tested for electromagnetic compatibility in accordance with the
applicable European standards for industrial applications.
• The electromagnetic compatibility indicated applies only to a product that has been
connected in accordance with these Operating Instructions.
2.4 Operational safety
1. Before commissioning the entire measuring point, verify that all connections are
correct. Ensure that electrical cables and hose connections are undamaged.

2. Do not operate damaged products, and safeguard them to ensure that they are not
operated inadvertently. Label the damaged product as defective.
3. If faults cannot be rectified:
Take the products out of operation and safeguard them to ensure that they are not
operated inadvertently.
2.5 Product safety

3.2 Measuring principle
Light absorption
The measuring principle is based on the Lambert-Beer law.
There is a linear dependency between the absorption of light and the concentration of the
absorbing substance:
A = -log(T) = ε . c . OPL
T = I/I
0
T ... Transmission
I ... Intensity of received light at detector
I0 ... Intensity of transmitted light of light source
A ... Absorption
ε ... Extinction coefficient
c ... Concentration
OPL ... Optical path length
A light source emits radiation through the medium and the incident radiation is measured on
the detector side.
The intensity of the light is determined by a photodiode and converted to a photocurrent.
The subsequent conversion to absorbance units (AU, OD) is performed in the associated
transmitter.

5.1.3 Mounting angles
The sensor can be installed up to the horizontal in an assembly, support or suitable process
connection. Other angles of inclination are not recommended.
Do not install the sensor vertically through the floor of a pipe. In this way, you avoid any
sedimentation and ensure a constant flow through the measuring gap. This guarantees
correct measured values and complete drainage in hygienic applications.

Before first commissioning, check if:
the sensor is correctly installed
‣
the electrical connection is correct.
‣
7.2 Calibrating/adjusting the sensor
Measuring points consisting of a photometer sensor and a transmitter are adjusted at the
factory. Normally adjustment is not required when commissioning for the first time.
If an adjustment is necessary nevertheless, you have the following adjustment option:
Adjustment with calibration standards
8 Maintenance
Take all the necessary precautions in time to ensure the operational safety and reliability of
the entire measuring system.
NOTICE
Effects on process and process control
When carrying out any work on the system, take into account possible repercussions for
‣
process control or the process itself.
For your own safety, only use genuine accessories. With genuine parts, the function,
‣
accuracy and reliability are also ensured after maintenance work.
NOTICE
Sensitive optical components
If you do not proceed with care, you can damage or severely dirty the optical components.
Maintenance work may only be carried out by appropriately qualified staff.
‣
Wear talc-free latex or cotton gloves during maintenance.
‣
Use ethanol and a lint-free cloth which is suitable for cleaning lenses to clean all the
‣
optical components.
8.1 Maintenance schedule
• Maintenance and servicing intervals are based on the individual application.
• Cleaning intervals depend on the medium.
• Perform a visual inspection once a month and clean the sensor if necessary.
Endress+Hauser 17
Maintenance OUSAF11
Maintenance checklist
• Replace lamp
The lamp is typically replaced after 8000 to 10 000 operating hours (→ 26).
• Replace O-rings in contact with the medium
The replacement of O-rings in contact with the medium depends on the specific
requirements of the process.
Never re-use a used O-ring.
8.2 Clean sensor
Cleaning the sensor
If the sensor is dirty, this can influence the measurement results and even cause a
malfunction. Therefore the sensor must be cleaned regularly in order to guarantee reliable
measurement results. The frequency and intensity of the cleaning process depend on the
medium. Clean the sensor:
• before every calibration/adjustment/zero point adjustment
• before you send the sensor in for repair
Fouling Cleaning
Lime deposits
Dirt particles on the optical windows
NOTICE
Cleaning agent residue
Cleaning agent residue can affect the measurement.
Rinse the sensor carefully with water after every cleaning.
