1.4Features 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 functionWithin 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 functionThis 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.

3.3.2General 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

3.3.3Flow 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.
3.3.4Sensor angle

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).

14ba76185e0105/2016
Fig. 3-2Direction 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.

3.3.6Distances 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.
ba76185e0105/201615
Fig. 3-3Effect 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).

3.4Installation 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.
3.4.1Measurement in an open pool or channel
Measurement in a poolThe 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).

3.4.2Measurement in pipelines
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 suspended solids. The effect of the measurement environment
can be reduced by ensuring the optimum conditions (see
section 3.3.2).
If an optimum installation is not possible due to the structural 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).
If deposits occur on the pipe walls, the calibration should be repeated
at regular intervals.
Example:
45 ° pipe installation
The pipe should be straight for a length of approx. 25 cm beyond the
installation location. Angled or tapered pipes can cause interference
effects in the case of low levels of total suspended solids.

4Measuring
The ViSolid®700 IQ (SW) measures the light scattered and reflected
by the total suspended solids in the measuring medium. The level of
total suspended solids that corresponds to the amount of light
measured is displayed. As different suspended solids scatter and
reflect light in different ways, the display of a suspended solid contents
in mg/l must be referred to a standard. A factory calibration to SiO2 is
stored in the sensor.
4.1Measuring operation
1Immerse the sensor in the measuring medium.
2Read the measured value on the terminal of the IQ S
ET system.
N
Large temperature differences between the sensor and
measuring medium can falsify the measurement result.
Thus, as a precaution during commissioning, wait for 15
minutes before using the measured value.
The allowed temperature of the measuring medium is 0 ...
60 °C. The ultrasound cleaning system automatically
switches off if the temperature of the measuring medium
increases to more than 60 °C. When the temperature drops
below 60 °C, it switches itself on again. Switching off at
temperatures above 60 °C prevents any overheating, for
example if the minimum immersion depth of the sensor is
not maintained.

4.2Calibration for TSS measurement
4.2.1General information
Why calibrate?The following factors can change with time and affect the measurement
results:
the optical characteristics, e.g. color and particle size, and the den-
sity of the measuring medium (e.g. dependent on the season)
the conditions at the measuring location (e.g. due to growing depos-
its on the ground and walls)
The effect of the measurement environment can be reduced by
ensuring the optimum conditions (see section 3.3.2) and can be
compensated by a user calibration (see section 4.2.4).
When to calibrate?A new calibration is required if there is any change of the characteris-
tics of the measuring medium or any change of the environment at the
measuring location.
How is a calibration
carried out?
Calibration data that are entered are stored in the controller
and, thus, assigned to the measuring location (and not the
sensor). Thus, if the sensor is replaced, no new calibration
is required.
The actual level of total suspended solids of your measuring medium is
determined by a reference measurement (e.g. gravimetric according to
DIN 38414).
If the reference measurements do not deviate from the optically determined level of total dissolved solids of the ViSolid
®
700 IQ (SW), the
sensor is already optimally adapted to the measuring situation.
If the reference measurements deviate from the optically determined
®
level of total dissolved solids of the ViSolid
700 IQ (SW), a calibration
is required.
The following calibration options are available:
Calibration by adapting the Correction factor setting
if the values displayed with Default calibration deviate from the
actual values by a specific factor
Performance of a User calibration
if the values displayed with Default calibration and Correction factor
no longer agree with the actual values

4.2.2Default calibration
Default calibration for
matrix type 1
The factory calibration curve for matrix type 1 was determined by
measurements of typical activated and return slurries and can be used
for similar applications after adaptation of the Correction factor setting
(see section 4.2.3).
Below the smallest value, the calibration curves are
extended to the zero point and, above the largest value,
they are extended to the end of the measuring range.
The factory calibration curve for matrix type 2 was determined by measurements of typical decaying slurries and can be used for similar applications after adaptation of the Correction factor setting (see section
InfluencesIf 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 suspended solids. The effect of the
measurement environment is minimized by exactly observing the
installation position (see section 3.3.2).
If an optimum installation is not possible due to the structural conditions
at the measuring location (e. g. in narrow pipelines), interference
effects can be compensated by a User calibration (see section 4.2.4).

4.2.3Correction factor
The setting of the Correction factor provides a simple option for
adapting the calibration to the current conditions.
With the Correction factor setting you correct the measured value and
have it indicated on the display.
A change of the Correction factor setting is practical if the measured
®
values of the ViSolid
700 IQ (SW) are generally too high or too low in
comparison to reference measurements by a specific factor.

4.2.4User calibration
The displayed values of total suspended solids are calculated with the
aid of the stored calibration data. In the mg/l TSS measuring mode, the
value mg/l SiO2 marked with "#" is displayed as the secondary measured value.
The determination of the calibration value pairs is carried out by reference measurements according to an independent procedure. At the
point of time of the calibration, the measuring medium should be in a
state representative of the later measurement (type and amount of
total suspended solids, coloration, etc.). The results from the calibration
are manually entered in the setting table of the ViSolid
®
700 IQ (SW).

Graphs of the value pairsExplanations
Form 1:
The graph has a gradient > 0 at every
point.
A calibration is possible for the whole
range.
Form 2:
The graph has a gradient > 0 at every

At very low levels of TSS, the effect of
the measurement environment leads
to slightly increased values of SiO2.
A calibration is possible for the whole
range.
Form 3:
The graph has a gradient < 0 in the
range of smaller levels of TSS.
The effect of the measurement environment leads to greatly increased values of SiO2 in the range of smaller
TSS below the point (A). A calibration
is only possible in the range TSS > A.

Form 4:
The graph has a gradient < 0 in the
range of greater levels of total suspended solids.
A calibration for matrix type 1 is only
possible in the range of TSS < B.
For measurements in the range of
TSS > B, select matrix type 2.
Page 33
ViSolid®700 IQ (SW)Measuring
A measurement of the total suspended solids will deliver
ever more accurate measurement results the closer the
composition of the measuring medium corresponds to the
status at the time of the calibration. If there is a fundamental
change of the characteristics of the sample, a new calibration may be necessary.
Procedure of the
calibration
1Bring the sensor into the measuring position.
2In the setting table of the TSS sensor, select the
mg/l TSS measuring mode and the AutoRange measuring
range (see section 3.5.3).
3Switch to the measured value display with <M>.
4When the measured value is stable, read the SiO2 value
(marked with "#"), convert it into the unit (mg/l) if necessary,
and note it down.
5Take a sample as close to the same time as the SiO2 mea-
surement as possible and as close to the sensor as possible.
6Determine the level of total suspended solids of the sample
according to a reference procedure (e.g. gravimetric according
to DIN 38414) and note it down together with the measured
value of SiO2 as the TSS/SiO2 value pair in mg/l.
At least one value pair and a maximum of eight value pairs
can be entered for a valid calibration. Keeping to the
descending order of values is very important. Not keeping
to the order will result in a calibration error.
7For a multi-point calibration:
Repeat the determination of the value pair for various concentrations of the sample.
Samples of different concentrations of total suspended solids can be obtained from the sample taken by:
diluting it with water
depositing the total suspended solids and decanting off
the remaining water
Before measuring the samples, make sure that the total
suspended solids are actually in suspension.
8Sort the value pairs in descending order and, if necessary,
enter them in a table and diagram (see chapter 10).
ba76185e0105/201633
Page 34
MeasuringViSolid®700 IQ (SW)
Below the smallest value, the calibration curve is extended
to the zero point and, above the largest value, it is extended
to the end of the measuring range.
9Check the form of the calibration curve.
If the calibration curve corresponds to form 3,
change the conditions at the measuring location and deter-
mine the calibration values again or
do not carry out any measurements in the range below the
turning point (A).
10In measuring mode with matrix type 1:
If individual calibration values lie outside the measuring range,
change the conditions at the measuring location and deter-
mine the calibration values again or
select measuring mode for matrix type 2
Entering the Calibration
data
The entry of calibration values that exceed the measuring
range leads to a calibration error. The size of the measuring
range is dependent on the selected measuring mode
(matrix type) (see section 3.5.3).
11Switch to the setting table of the TSS sensor.
12Change to the Calibration data menu with <> and
<OK>.
13Select the User calibration menu item with <> and
<OK>.
14Select the Menu selection menu item with <> and

15Select the Value pairs 1..3 menu item with <> and

5.1General information
WARNING
Chemical or biological hazard.
Contact with the sample can be harmful to the user.
Depending on the type of sample, suitable protective
measures must be taken (protective clothing, goggles, etc.).
The ViSolid®700 IQ (SW) sensor does not usually require any maintenance. The continuously running ultrasound system prevents the accumulation of pollution right from the start.
If the sensor remains in the sample for any length of time
when the system is not operating, we recommend to clean
the shaft and measurement windows.
Cleaning agents
5.2Cleaning the sensor shaft and measurement windows
During normal operation (e.g. municipal wastewater), cleaning is recommended:
if there is any pollution (according to visual check)
if the sensor was not in operation for a lengthy period of time but was
immersed in the measuring medium
if the measured values are suspected of being incorrect (usually too
low)
if the SensCheck message appears in the log book (when using
samples of matrix type 1)
for regular cleaning (when using samples of matrix type 2)
if there is any suspicion that the measurement window is polluted,
e.g. by dried on dirt during operation in the open air
ContaminationCleaning agents
Sludge and loosely adhering dirt
or biological films
Salt and / or lime depositsAcetic acid (volume percentage

Page 37
ViSolid®700 IQ (SW)Maintenance, cleaning, accessories
CAUTION
Acetic acid irritates the eyes and the skin. When handling acetic acid, always wear protective gloves and
protective goggles.
We do not recommend unscrewing the sensor from the
sensor connection cable when cleaning the sensor shaft
and measurement window. Otherwise, moisture and/or dirt
can get into the plug connection where it can cause contact
problems.
If you need to disconnect the sensor from the sensor connection cable,
please note the following points:
Before disconnecting the sensor from the SACIQ (SW) sensor con-
nection cable, remove any larger pieces of contamination from the
sensor, particularly in the area of the plug connection (brush it off in
a bucket of tap water, wash it off with a hose or wipe it off with a
cloth).
Cleaning
Unscrew the sensor from the SACIQ (SW) sensor connection cable.
Always place a protective cap on the plug head of the sensor and on
the SACIQ (SW) sensor connection cable so that no moisture or dirt
can get into the contacting surfaces. It is included in the standard
scope of delivery of the SACIQ SW sensor connection cable.
In corrosive environments, close the socket of the sensor connec-
tion cable with the screwable SACIQ-Plug when it is dry in order to
protect the electrical contacts from corrosion. The protective plug is
available as an accessory (see section 5.3 A
CCESSORIES).
NOTICE
The sensor warms up during operation in the air.
Consequently, pollution can collect in the vicinity of
the measurement window due to the evaporation of
liquid. Therefore, avoid any lengthy operation in the
air.
1Pull the sensor out of the sample.
2Remove any coarse pollution from the sensor (by brushing it off
in a bucket of tapwater, spraying it off with a hose or wiping with
a cloth).
3Clean the sensor shaft and the measurement window as
described in the section C
4Then, rinse it thoroughly with tap water.
