1.1 Software history
INFORMATION!
This documentation explains the installation and operation of the OPTISYS SLM 2100 sludge
level meter.
Release dateSoftware versionDocumentation
04/201301.00.01MA OPTISYS SLM 2100 R02 en
1.2 Intended use
The OPTISYS SLM 2100 sludge level meter is primarily designed for use in water and waste
water treatment plants. There it determines the sedimentation profile in clarifiers and sludge
thickeners and detects sludge blanket or fluff level. For this it measures the suspended solids
concentration and height of the sensor above ground as the sensor is lowered into the basin or
tank.
However, the design of the OPTISYS SLM 2100 makes it possible to use it in other applications
where reliable monitoring of interface or stratification in suspensions is necessary.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1
The OPTISYS SLM 2100 shall not be used in hazardous areas, which e.g. require Ex approvals. It
could ignite gases. Additionally, due to the sensors material, the meter shall not be used in
applications with a high concentration of salt (e.g. seawater). The device has been constructed
for indoor and outdoor use below the maximum altitude of 2000 m / 6562 ft.
By observing the operation instructions, national standards, safety requirements and accident
prevention regulations the residual risk is reduced to an acceptable level.

Main electronics unit
The main electronics unit is located in a separate compartment above the cable drum, which can
be accessed via a separate door with a key lock. It contains the main board and fan assembly.
The main board bears the main processor and all electrical connectors. It also controls all
mechanical and electrical events in the device and communicates with sensor, display and
keyboard. It additionally contains the current outputs and control inputs.
Fan assembly
The position of the fan is on the top right side of the enclosure. Together with the heater it
maintains a stable temperature inside the enclosure of the meter.
DANGER!
The rotating fan blades can be accessed, when the electronic compartment door is open and
there is a risk of injury when rotating fan is touched.
Display and keyboard
Display and keyboard are located in the front door of the electronics compartment. Display and
keyboard are based on the GDC (general device concept), which means a common HMI to all
KROHNE GDC instruments is provided. The keyboard consists of four membrane keys and the

2 DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Cable drum assembly and heater unit
The cable drum helps to move the sensor up and down in the basin. It is mounted directly on the
motor shaft 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 heater unit is located behind the drum mounting plate. In conjunction with the fan it
maintains a stable temperature inside the enclosure of the meter.
Guide roller
The guide roller helps to keep the cable in place during the measuring process.
Sensor
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.
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.
OPTISYS SLM 2100
The axle board on the cable drum is powered contactless ("inductively") from the pickup board. It
communicates with the main electronics unit via the pickup board and with the sensor via an
optical interface.
Cable feedthroughs
The four M20 cable feedthroughs are for the connection of power, signal and control cables.
Safety switch
The safety switch located on the top left corner of the cable drum compartment is a protective
device, which de-energizes the motor when the front door is opened in order to avoid danger due
to moving parts inside the meter.
Cleaning unit (optional)
The cleaning unit, mounted under the device, consist of a valve and a spraying system to keep
the sensor and cable free of deposits ensuring low maintenance efforts of OPTISYS SLM 2100.

3.5 Installing the cleaning unit (optional)
The cleaning unit consist of a water connection, an OPTISYS SLM 2100 controlled valve and the
spraying unit to clean the cable and the sensor.
If installing a device containing a cleaning unit, keep a safety area around the sensor garage free
from electrical device or water sensitive parts, as outlined in the following drawing.
INSTALLATION 3
Figure 3-6: Safety area
1 Radius: 2 m / 78.74"
Keep this area around the device free from electrical installations or water sensitive devices.
When the cleaning system is active, water might be sprayed in this area.
The cleaning unit can be supplied with water by 2 options:
• External water supply by hose
• Pump controller (for more information refer to

3.5.1 Installation of the water hose
WARNING!
The maximum allowed water pressure should not exceed 6 bar / 87 psi.
INFORMATION!
An external separation switch of the water supply have to be located close to the device and
easily accessible.
A 3/4" connector wit metric thread provides the mounting point for the water hose adapter.
When installing the water hose adapter on the connector, carefully fix the nut of the fitting. The
electric valve inside the cleaning system housing maybe twisted, which may cause water
leakage. If it is not possible to tighten the nut of the hose fitting adequately, remove the lower
cover of the cleaning unit and lock the nut mounted in the electric value.
When installing the device, make sure the water hose is adequately fixed as outlined. Mount the
water hose in such a way that the weight of it is not carried by the hose adaptor. When fixing the
hose also take into account that it must be avoided that it moves when the system is switched
on/off.

DANGER!
Never install or operate the device in potentially explosive areas, it might cause an explosion that
can result in fatal injuries!
DANGER!
The device must be grounded in accordance with regulations in order to protect personnel
against electric shocks.
DANGER!
When installing and wiring the device, note the safety regulations of the current state of the art.
Also note the following items to avoid fatal injuries, destruction or damage of the device or
measuring errors:
•
De-energise the cables of the power supply before you start any installation works!
•
All used cables must have a corresponding dielectric strenght of min. 2 kV.
•
It is recommended to use shielded signal cables which are only connected on one side (e.g. to
the protective earth on the mainboard next to the relays).
•
When using relays, note that with inductive loads the interference must be suppressed (spark
quenching).
•
Assure that all electrical connection works are compliant with the VDE 0100 directive
"Regulations for electrical power installations with line voltages up to 1000 V" or equivalent
national regulations.
•
Use suitable cable glands for the various electrical cables and suitable connecting cables for
the field of application. The outer diameter of the connecting cables has to fit to the cable
glands.
•
The nominal voltage of the connecting cable has to fit to the operating voltage of the device.
•
If the handrail is not adequately grounded, ground the device with a wire of 6 mm2 / 0.009
square inch.
INFORMATION!
Assembly materials and tools are not part of the delivery. Use the assembly materials and tools
in compliance with the applicable occupational health and safety directives.
