ViSolid®700 IQ (SW) Overview

1.4 Features of the ViSolid®700 IQ (SW)

Total suspended solids

measurement

The measurement of the total suspended solids in aqueous media with

the ViSolid

700 IQ (SW) is carried out as a scattered light measurement. This records the suspended proportion of total suspended solids (TSS).

Ultrasound cleaning

system

The ultrasound cleaning system ensures low maintenance and longterm reliable measurement operation. The ultrasound source integrated in the sensor excites the front face containing the measurement windows to oscillations in the ultrasound range. The resulting movement of the surface prevents the growth of pollution right from the start and, thus, ensures reliable measured values during continuous operation.

AutoRange function Within the enormously large measuring range (0 - 40000 mg/l SiO2

and 0 - 40000 mg/l TSS depending on the measured material), the AutoRange function selects the optimum resolution for the respective measured value.

SensCheck function This monitoring function that is integrated in the sensor is used to

continually check the sensor function and to register any malfunctions caused by the measuring medium. The correct operation of the ultrasound cleaning system is also continuously monitored.

Commissioning ViSolid®700 IQ (SW)

3.3.2 General information

The measuring principle of the ViSolid

700 IQ (SW) (scattered light measurement) places specific requirements on the measurement location and on the installation of the sensor.

If there is a low level of total suspended solids (< 2000 mg/l SiO2 or < 1000 mg/l TSS), infrared light penetrates deep into the sample. Thus, the measuring environment can have a significant effect on the measured value displayed. Light that is reflected or scattered by the ground or wall can strike the detector in the sensor and, thus, simulate an increased level of total suspended solids.

Scattered light can be kept away from the measurement windows to a great extent by favorable positioning of the sensor. Therefore, an optimum installation position is particularly important for the measurement of lower values of total suspended solids.

Always maintain a distance of at least 10 cm from the ground and wall.

The following factors affect the measurement of the TSS contents:

 Inclination of the sensor (see section 3.3.4)

 Sensor orientation around its longitudinal axis (see section 3.3.5)

 Distances from the ground and wall (see section 3.3.6)

 Light-colored, heavily light-scattering surfaces in the measuring ves-

sel (e.g. vessel inner surfaces) or in the measuring environment.

 Unfavorable geometry of the measuring vessel or unfavorable posi-

tioning of the sensor in the measuring vessel.

 Spatial proximity of two optical sensors.

 Very bright ambient light at the measuring location, e.g. direct sun-

light in the open channel

3.3.3 Flow direction

Generally, in flowing media, the measurement window should be clearly pitched towards the flow (angle of incidence approx. 20 to 45 °).

Exception:

If there is a high proportion of foreign bodies with fibrous or flat profiles such as, e.g. hair, twines or foliage, it can be advantageous to tilt the sensor in the direction of flow so that the measurement window is turned away from the flow.

3.3.4 Sensor angle

Fig. 3-1 Effect of the sensor angle on scattering and reflection from the ground and

Scattering and reflection are lowest at a sensor angle of

45° and at a minimum distance of 10 cm to the ground and

walls (see section 3.3.6).

Fig. 3-2 Direction of the infrared beam relative to the marking

The angle of incidence to the ground and walls can be affected by rotating the sensor around its longitudinal axis. The sensor should be turned so that as little light as possible that is scattered or reflected by the wall or ground strikes the measurement window again.

3.3.6 Distances from the ground and wall

If there is a low level of total suspended solids (< 2000 mg/

l SiO2 or < 1000 mg/l TSS), the effects of the measurement

environment can simulate a higher content of total sus-

pended solids. The effect of the measurement environment

can be reduced by ensuring the optimum conditions (see

section 3.3.2).

The following graphic indicates the minimum distances of the measurement windows to the ground or wall, which must be observed. The effect of the distances on the measured value has been determined for various wall materials (aluminum, black plastic) in the case of a sensor placed vertically to the wall in drinking water or water with 1000 mg/l SiO2.

ba76040e04 05/2014 3 - 5

Fig. 3-3 Effect of ground and wall distances on the measurement of TSS

At low levels of total suspended solids, a minimum distance

of at least 10 cm must be kept from the ground or wall.

If an optimum installation is not possible due to the struc-

tural conditions at the measuring location (e.g. in narrow

pipelines), the effects of the measurement environment

can be compensated by user calibration (see section

4.2.4).

Commissioning ViSolid®700 IQ (SW)

3.4 Installation examples

As a rule, the ViSolid®700 IQ (SW) will measure interference-free when the distances and angles etc. specified are observed. However, interferences at the measuring location (see section 3.3.2) may require special adaptations of the installation.

3.4.1 Measurement in an open pool or channel

Measurement in a pool The total suspended solids sensor can be suspended in the pool on a

chain (e.g. with EH/F 170 swing mounting assembly and EH/U 170 sensor holder). Make sure the sensor cannot bump against any walls or obstacles.

Alternatively, the sensor can be immersed in the sample using a pendulum mounting assembly, e.g. EH/P 170 pendulum mounting assembly, (please note the minimum immersion depth).
