Cable drum assembly
The cable drum helps to move the sensor up and down in the basin. It is mounted directly on the
axle of a synchronous motor, hidden behind the drum mounting plate.
The cable drum always moves with a very constant speed. Since the diameter of the cable roll in
the drum varies, the speed of the sensor varies. That is why the sensor moves slower during the
end of the sampling.
The cable and sensor are cleaned by a water spray in the flushing tube during return to the home
position.

www.krohne.com 08/2010 - MA OPTISENS OAM 2080 R01 en
OPTISENS OAM 2080
Main electronics unit
The main electronics unit is located at the front door in a separate enclosure. It controls all
mechanical events in the device and communicates with both the sensor and the converter. The
communication with the converter is done through a RS-485 interface.
Other signals going in and out of sludge blanket meter are also conducted to the main
electronics unit. The unit collects the values of the sludge concentration from the sensor and
transmits them to the converter.
Sensor
The sensor is connected to a cable that supplies the sensor with power. The cable also transmits
the communication signals to the pickup board.
The sensor contains a near-infrared light source and a receiver. Both are positioned in such a
way that the emitted near-infrared light has to pass through the liquid before reaching the
receiver.
Cable connection terminal
The separate box in the lower left corner of the enclosure contains the connection terminal for
the external wire connections. To the left of this terminal block there is a safety switch that will
disconnect the power when the enclosure door opens.
DEVICE DESCRIPTION 2
On the top of the terminal box there is an emergency motor control switch witch the functions
"Up" and "Down". It allows to control the sensor movement even if the normal control function
does not work.
Pickup board & axle board
The pickup board is mounted on a spring loaded lever arm and transfers power and
communication signals to the cable drum. It also measures the revolutions of the cable drum
with the help of sensors.
The axle board on the cable drum is powered contactlessly ("inductively") from the pickup board.
It communicates with the main electronics unit via the pickup board and with the sensor via an
optical RS-485 interface.
Heater & fan
The heater is located behind the drum mounting plate. Together with the fan it maintains a
stable temperature inside the enclosure of the meter. The position of the fan is on the top right
side of the enclosure.

2 DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Flush tube and flush valve
The flush tube contains a nozzle ring that sprays cleaning water around the sensor and cable.
Each time the sensor moves upwards into the flush tube, the cleaning works until the sensor
reaches its highest position ("home position"). In that way the sensor keeps clean and the
measurement is reliable in most environments and processes.
In the home position the sensor is completely covered by the flush tube, which contains an
inductive limit switch. The switch determines the point when the sensor reaches its home
position.
Flushing starts when the built-in solenoid flush valve opens. Its control is the task of the main
electronics unit.

3.4.2 Installation of flushing
CAUTION!
Always regard the following items when installing and using the flushing function:
•
Do not flush the device at temperatures below 0°C/ 32°F as there is the risk of damage by
freezing water within the flush hoses and the solenoid valve!
•
Assure that all outdoor installations protect the hoses and the valve from freezing conditions.
If this is not possible, disconnect and empty all hoses!
•
Assure that the flushing water has a pressure between 2 bar / 29 psi and 6 bar / 87 psi. Below
the minimum pressure a sufficient cleaning is not possible, a water pressure above the
maximum value can cause damages.
•

4.4 Rake guard limit switch
CAUTION!
To avoid damages or destructions, use a limit switch in all applications where a rake or other
moving devices may come in contact with the sensor or cable! The manufacturer does not
assume any responsibility for damages caused by the absence or malfunction of the rake guard
limit switch.
To protect the sensor and cable from being damaged or destructed by rakes or other moving
parts, the meter has an N/O contact input for the connection of an external limit switch (you have
to buy this switch with another manufacturer). The sampling cycle will only start if this switch is
closed.
The function of the limit switch is to trigger the sampling process. When the moving device (e.g.
a rake) contacts the limit switch, the sampling process starts. You can define the number of
passes of the moving device that should occur before starting the sampling process with the
help of the converter (see "Trig" in the "Advanced setup" within the menu "Settings"). For
information concerning the electrical connection of a rake guard limit refer to the next chapter.
INFORMATION!
Defining the interval of the sampling process is suitable when the position of the moving device
is well known (e.g. with surface rakes). If the moving device contacts the limit switch during
sampling, the sampling process stops and the sensor moves upwards.
20
If there is no danger for the sensor or cable to be caught by moving devices (i.e. installation in
thickeners without stirrers), you can set an alternative sampling mode in the converter
controlled by the build-in timer. In this case you must wire the connections for the rake guard
switch to one of the converter relays (for further information see section "Relay outputs" in
chapter 4 "Electrical connections" in the MAC 080 handbook) and set a timer interval in seconds,
which triggers the sampling cycle accordingly (for further information refer to
(optional)
on page 29).

5 OPERATION
5.1 Start-up and general remarks for configuration
INFORMATION!
•
Connect the converter and the meter before starting-up! The MAC 080 converter must have
the program version 3.1 or higher, otherwise it cannot work together with the meter. If the
converter has a lower program version, always contact the manufacturer for an update!
•
You are not able to make any changes to the settings until the converter has recognized the
sensor! You have to configurate the meter with the help of the converter and its display and
buttons.
The start-up procedure of the sensor begins when both the converter and the sensor are
supplied with power and the electrical connection between the devices is established. First of all
the converter performs a self-test, then the identification of the sensor starts. During this
process, which may take up to 30 seconds, the converter display shows a rotating line between
the header and the time on the first line of the display. Afterwards a wizards appears and you
have to connect the sensor to an empty slot. For further information refer to the next section.
5.2 LED indication

5.3 Input of the basic settings
5.3.1 Connection of the sensor to a slot and output
After starting-up and identifying the sensor, the converter needs to know how it shall be used.
Therefore a connection wizards with the question if you want to connect the sensor with the first
free slot appears on the converter display
Connection to a slot
• Choose "Yes" or "No" with the help of ↑ or ↓ and confirm by pressing ^.
i If you chose "Yes", the converter jumps to the choice of the 4...20 mA output. If you chose
"No", the converter jumps to the next free slot and asks again if you want to connect the
sensor.
• If you chose "No", repeat the previous procedure until you find a suitable free slot.
INFORMATION!
If no slot is free, the converter display shows an error message and demands to free slots. You
can free slots with no sensor currently connected in the converter menu; the description for this
procedure is in preparation, you will find it in the converter documentation.
OPERATION 5
INFORMATION!
If you connect an identical sensor, you can reuse the slot of the former sensor if both have the
same software revision. To quickly get the new sensor running, it inherits most of the
configuration and calibration of the old sensor. This calibration will not be perfect since it has
been done for another sensor, but it will be closer than the factory default.
After connecting the sensor with a slot the converter asks which output you want to use. If you
added a sensor to slot 1 or 2, the converter asks if the corresponding 4...20 mA output should be
used, unless another sensor uses it (you can change the use of an output in the submenu
"Analog" of the main menu "Settings", on page 31):

7 TECHNICAL DATA
7.1 Measuring principle
The sensor is let down into the clarifier or thickener and measures the suspended solids
concentration. While it descends, it transmits the data via a communication cable to the MAC 080
converter. By submersing the sensor into the liquid, you are able to obtain reliable suspended
solids readings and avoid problems from foam and fluff layers in the clarifier or thickener.
The sensor measures transmitted light through the liquid. The measuring principle is based on
the suspended particles ability to absorb and reflect NIR (Near Infra-red) light. The light source
is a light emitting diode that pulses and emits monochromatic light with a wavelength of 880 nm
(see drawing below).
The detected measuring signal is inversely logarithmical proportional to the concentration of
suspended solids. Signal treatment or linearization is done within the converter. In addition, the
temperature is measured to be used for temperature compensation of the measured value.
INFORMATION!
The built-in temperature measurement is not a precision measurement, but shall be seen as an
indication.
