The detector and lamp can vary on account of the individual options ordered.

3.2 Measuring principle

Turbidity
Turbidity refers to the appearance of a liquid that contains suspended particles. The presence
of these particles causes the light to be scattered and absorbed, giving the liquid a turbid, or
cloudy, appearance. The amount of light scattered or absorbed in a liquid can be used in a
measuring system to determine the degree of turbidity.
Scattered light method
A focused parallel beam of light is passed through the medium. This beam is known as the
transmitted light and is measured by a transmitted light detector. If the medium does not
contain any particles, the transmitted light detector detects all the light transmitted by the
light source.
If there are particles in the medium, the light is scattered in all directions, but primarily in a
forward direction. The optical system is designed such that the scattered light is measured at
an angle of 11°. This angle of measurement ensures that the maximum scattering signal
present is detected at the scattered light detector.

5.2 Mounting the sensor

The sensors have been specifically designed so that they can be installed in the process
together with the flow assembly OUA260. The flow assembly can be installed either directly
in a process line or in a bypass line.
The sensor cannot be used without the assembly OUA260.

‣ Make sure that the sensor and detector housing are aligned horizontally. This ensures that
the optical windows are vertically aligned as this prevents buildup on the window surfaces.
‣ Install the sensor upstream from the pressure regulators.
12 Endress+Hauser
OUSTF10 Electrical connection

‣ Leave enough room for the cable connector at the end of the lamp and at the end of the
detector housing. Unimpeded access to these areas is also required for connection/removal
tasks.
‣ The operation of sensors under pressure prevents the formation of air or gas bubbles.

NOTICE
Mounting errors
Possibility of sensor damage, twisted cables or similar
‣ Make sure that the sensor body is protected against damage from external forces - such as
trolleys on adjacent paths.
‣ Remove the cable before you screw the lamp or detector onto the flow assembly.
‣ Make sure to avoid exerting excessive tensile force on the cable (e.g. from jerky pulling
movements).
‣ Make sure to observe the national grounding regulations when using metal assemblies.
If the sensor is ordered together with the assembly OUA260, the flow assembly is ready-
mounted on the sensor upon delivery. The sensor is ready for use immediately.
If the sensor and assembly are ordered separately, you must mount the sensor as follows:
1. Install the flow assembly OUA260 in the process via the process connections.
2. Make sure to fit the O-ring seals on the lamp and detector.
Screw the lamp and detector onto the flow assembly.

The lamp and detector can be installed in and removed from the assembly without this
affecting the process line.

5.3 Post-installation check

Put the sensor into operation only if you can answer "yes" to the following questions:
• Are the sensor and cable undamaged?
• Have you chosen a correct mounting angle?

6.3.1 Connecting the detector using a safety barrier

The photometer sensors use silicon photovoltaic cells as detectors which are operated in the
current mode. The detectors are intrinsically safe and can be deployed in Zone 1 and Class I,
Division 1 environments.
The safe area is separated from the hazardous area by two safety barriers MTL7760AC.

12.6 (0.5)

105 (4.13)

7 Safety barrier, dimensions in mm (inch)

The safety barrier may only have a very low leak current since the optical signals from
the sensor can be in the nanoampere range. Therefore, the sensor cable shield is
connected to the ground terminal of the barrier.

Endress+Hauser 15
Electrical connection OUSTF10

On delivery, the CUK80 detector cable is permanently wired to the safety barriers. All you
have to do is simply connect the individual cable ends to the detector and transmitter.
1. Mount the safety barriers along with the grounding module on a DIN rail.


2. Connect the detector plug of the cable to the detector.

3. Connect the other end of the cable to the transmitter.

OUSTF10 Commissioning

7 Commissioning
7.1 Function check
Before first commissioning, check if:
‣ the sensor is correctly installed
‣ the electrical connection is correct.

7.2 Calibrating/adjusting the sensor

Measuring points consisting of a photometer sensor, flow assembly (if provided) and a
transmitter are adjusted at the factory. Normally adjustment is not required when
commissioning for the first time.
If an adjustment is necessary nevertheless, you have the following adjustment option:
Adjustment with calibration standards
Use a solution of known turbidity for the calibration/adjustment.
• Formazin
Measuring systems that have been configured for FTU are calibrated using a formazin
standard solution.
• Diatomaceous earth
Devices that have been configured for ppm are calibrated using a diatomaceous earth (DE)
standard solution.

LWARNING
Formazin is carcinogenic, has a sensitizing effect and is harmful for water organisms,
with a long-term effect.
Can cause cancer and allergic skin reactions.
‣ Seek special advice before use.
‣ Use the specified personal protective equipment.
‣ Read and comprehend all the safety instructions prior to use.
‣ Avoid releasing formazin into the environment.
Preparing a formazin standard solution
1. Dilute 1 g of hydrazine sulfate in 100 ml of ultrapure water in a volumetric flask.
2. In a second volumetric flask, dissolve 10 g of hexamethylenetetramine in 100 ml of
pure water.
3. Mix 5 ml of each solution together and allow the mixture to stand for 24 to 48 hours at
room temperature (25 ±3 °C).
4. Once the suspension has formed, dilute it with ultrapure water to 100 ml.
 This stock suspension is defined as 400 FTU (formazin turbidity unit).
1 FTU = 1 NTU (nephelometric turbidity unit) and 4 FTU = 1 EBC (European
Brewery Convention Unit)
The suspension prepared in this way is stable and can be stored for up to 1 month in a
lightproof bottle in a cool and dry place.

Endress+Hauser 19
Commissioning OUSTF10

You can dilute the suspension to produce a series of optical standard solutions. You can check
the calibration of the measuring system with the standard solutions.

2.5 97.5 10 10 2.5

1.0 99 4 4 1

It is not recommended to dilute the stock suspension below 4 FTU.

Preparing diatomaceous earth standard solution

Diatomaceous earth (DE) is used as the filter medium in a wide variety of filtration processes.
Therefore, when monitoring the solids content in the filter inlet and outlet the measurement
will correlate directly with the adjustment. If other materials are measured, the values
displayed on the device may need to be correlated with the actual process values.
Note that accuracy and reproducibility properties when using diatomaceous earth standard
solutions (DE) depend on the level of precision exercised in preparing the standard. DE in a
suspension settles out relatively quickly. Therefore, it is very important to mix the sample
carefully and determine the measured values as soon as the mixture is stable.
1. Add 1 g of dry diatomaceous earth to 1000 ml of ultrapure water.
 You get an aqueous suspension of 1000 ppm DE.
2. Use this suspension to produce a series of diluting solutions.
3. Make sure to agitate the suspension carefully before diluting.

5.

Insert the re-assembled optical projection unit and lamp unit back into the lamp
housing. Install the module fully and fit the 4 screws and washers back on the cable
connector.
6.

Screw the lamp module back onto the flow assembly by tightening it in the clockwise
direction.
A zero point adjustment is required after replacing the lamp.

8.4 Replacing the sensor window and seal

Operating Instructions for Flowcell OUA260, BA01600C

Always replace windows with windows of the same type in order to maintain the path length.
The flow assembly must be removed from the process line in order to replace the windows
and seals.
1. Stop the flow in the process pipe and remove the assembly from the dry process line.
2. Remove the lamp and detector housing from the assembly.

OUSTF10 Maintenance

The following description applies for both sides, i.e. the detector side and the lamp side.
Always replace the O-rings or optical windows on both sides.
3.

Remove the 4 Allen screws (1/8" or 3 mm) from the window retaining ring. Make sure
to loosen the screws evenly and alternately around the retaining ring of the window.
4.

Remove the window retaining ring along with the O-ring on the inside towards the
assembly.
5.

Gently force the optical window out of the assembly. If the window jams, apply some
acetone around the window seal and wait a few minutes for it to take effect. This should
help you remove the windows from the seals. The seal cannot be reused afterwards!
6. Check the area around the window for residue or fouling. Clean it if necessary.
7. Check the windows for signs of chipping or wear from abrasion.
 Replace the windows if such signs are visible.
8. Dispose of all the O-rings and replace them with new O-rings from the relevant
maintenance kit.

9. Mount the optical window and then fit the window retaining ring, along with the new
O-rings, back on the assembly. Make sure to tighten the screws of the window retaining
ring uniformly in a diagonally opposite sequence. In this way, you ensure that the ring is
seated correctly.
10. If the optical windows and the window retaining rings are not identical, make sure the
lamp is on the right side. The lamp should be on the side with the "shorter" window
length. (→  27)
Then mount the lamp and the detector on the assembly.

If you have changed the path length by installing other optical windows, you then have
to configure the measuring system appropriately.
In any case, you must always perform an adjustment with liquids after disassembling and
assembling the windows.
