1. Introduction

1.1 Description
The Turner Designs Cyclops Submersible Sensor is an accurate single-channel

detector that can be used for many different applications. It is designed for
integration into multi-parameter systems from which it receives power and
delivers a voltage output proportional to the concentration of the fluorophore,
particle, or compound of interest.

The Cyclops voltage output can be correlated to concentration values by
calibrating with a standard of known concentration.

Effective April 1, 2017 all Cyclops-7 shipping will be Cyclops-7F. Updated
to have a faster settling time, Cyclops-7F is ready to make measurements
1 second after power up.

2.4 Functional Test for Cyclops with connector
To perform a functional check on the Cyclops, connect the Pigtail colored wires

to the power supply and multi-meter as shown in Figure 1 below.

Additional Equipment required for functional tests:

DC Power Supply, 3 - 15 VDC, >100 mA
Multi-meter to read 0 – 5 VDC

Note: Supply voltages greater than 15 VDC will result in damage to
the sensor.

Figure 1.

With the Cyclops connected as shown in Figure 1 answer questions 1-3 by
making the following functional tests:

1. Is the LED on?

Hold a piece of white paper about ½ an inch in-front of the optical head to
ensure the LED is on. Note: Cannot perform this test for Turbidity
sensors because they use IR which is not visible.

2. Is there voltage output?

The multi-meter should be reading some voltage >0 VDC

3. Does the voltage output change?

Move the light source closer to your hand or a surface and check if the
voltage output increases
