Olpas - Model OTE-CUSC-00X -Ultrasonic TSS Monitoring Sensor
Measurement Principle:
Ultrasound backscattering
Measuring Range: 0 - 10 g/L, 0 - 4g/L, 0 - 6 g/L
Independence/insensitive:
No impact of changes in optical parameters
No impact of changes of fluid colour and fluid velocity
Basic maintenance (or routine maintenance) includes cleaning the sensor with a soft sponge, cloth, or tissue.
Standard mild cleaning products can be used to clean the sensor better.
A visual inspection to assess the integrity of the housing is recommended to detect any problems in a timely manner.
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance should be performed when one of the following scenarios occurs:
- Use of the sensor outside the recommended temperature range (based on external or internal temperature measurement)
- After one year of continuous use
- In the case of physical, mechanical, or electrical damage to the sensor
- When humidity reaches 85% or higher inside the sensor housing
- The sensor’s measurements deviate from the real concentration, even after calibration
Fixed mounting
The fixed mounting of the sensor is done using two hanging brackets (M10).
Suspension
A flexible installation can be achieved by suspending the sensor from the provided bracket using a stainless steel chain. This can be done either as a free-hanging installation (no restriction on lateral movement of the sensor) or by using a standpipe (restricting the lateral freedom of the sensor).
Both solutions are ideal for easily removing the sensor for routine or preventive maintenance.
Water Level
The Olpas Tentacle is designed to operate fully or partially submerged in water at all times. Contact with water on the ultrasonic
window is necessary to perform a measurement.
Temporary drying
Temporary drying of the sensor will not cause damage, and the sensor will automatically resume operation upon contact with water. However, frequent drying of the ultrasonic window will shorten the
maintenance interval due to strong adhesion of dirt residues.
