FAQ's of EXplore 131 Compact Turbidity Sensor:
Q: How does the EXplore 131 Compact Turbidity Sensor perform calibration?
A: Calibration is conducted using Formazin standard solutions and can be completed in the field to ensure accurate turbidity measurements. This process maintains compliance with ISO 7027 standards for reliable operation.
Q: What environments can the sensor be used in?
A: Thanks to its IP68 waterproof rating and wide operating temperature range (0C to +60C), the sensor is ideal for both submersible and flow cell installations in water treatment plants, wastewater facilities, and other industrial online monitoring applications.
Q: When should I choose 316L stainless steel or PVC body for the sensor?
A: The choice depends on your process requirements. Use 316L stainless steel for corrosive or demanding conditions, while PVC is suitable for less aggressive media to reduce cost and weight.
Q: Where is EXplore 131 typically installed?
A: It is commonly installed in water treatment or wastewater facilities, either submersed directly in tanks and basins or integrated into flow cells for continuous, automated online measurement.
Q: What are the sensor's main benefits for water quality monitoring?
A: EXplore 131 provides precise, real-time turbidity data with a fast response time of less than 2 seconds. It is maintenance-free, field-calibratable, and integrates smoothly into digital automation systems for efficient process control.
Q: How do I connect the sensor to my automation system?
A: The sensor supports digital interfaces such as 4-20 mA and RS485 MODBUS, allowing easy integration with a variety of data acquisition and control equipment. External display options are available for onsite visualization.
Q: What is the usage process for continuous turbidity monitoring?
A: Install the sensor using submersible or flow cell mounting, connect the power supply (12-24 V DC), calibrate with Formazin solution, and integrate with the preferred output interface. The sensor then provides automated, real-time turbidity measurements for ongoing water quality management.
