How it Works 
The Model AP-VIS Scatter Transmitter is a compact sensor with
integrated electronics. It measures the amount of light received by the
photoelectric scanner from the light scatter of suspended particles. It
continuously monitors suspended solids interface by measuring the amount
of light scatter in the process pipe. The optical cell “no o-ring” sealing
meets sanitary requirements as set forth by EHEDG.
Model AP-VIS provides immediate center-of-the-pipe measurement at full
pressure and temperature, eliminating the delay of off-line sampling. The
information is transmitted to the customer computer or process controller
using a 4-20 mA analog signal. Internal relays are available to open or
close valves when designated concentration levels are reached.
Installation involves mounting optical ferrules on a vertical run of
pipe (with upward flow) where the process measurement is needed. Visual
inspection of the sample chamber can be done at any time during operation
by removing the photo sensor head from the optical cell and looking
through the optical cell like a sight glass.
