Turbidity meter

The ATM100 turbidity meter from Aquasant AG is compact and can be used for online determination of cell density, monitoring of crystallisation processes, suspension monitoring or solid content determination. The range of applications includes such areas as biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, the chemical industry, the food sector and water quality management.

Up to four Aquasant measuring probes can be connected to the unit with a bus cable. It can thus monitor and control independently four different processes or process stages.

The unit includes a full graphic LCD and an easy menu navigation system. The actual behaviour of turbidity is represented as a graph for each measurement point. The standard unit's configuration for one turbidity measuring probe includes a 0/4-20 mA current output as well as two relay outputs.

It can also be equipped with optional modules including: an ethernet module with integrated web page for configuring the unit and its one to four probes; and the UART module can communicate either through RS232 or an RS485 interface, but not simultaneously. This can be used for visualisation software, LabVIEW or similar with the Modbus standard protocol.
