Electro-Chemical Devices Triton TR86 suspended solids sensor and T80 transmitter

Click2Contact

The Triton TR86 sensor by Electro-Chemical Devices is designed for the continuous measurement of suspended solids in various ranges from 0-1000 to 0-5000 mg/L. The sensor emits a beam of 850 nm near-infrared light into the sample where it is scattered by particles suspended in the water. The amount of back-scattered light returning to the sensor is measured and correlated to the amount of suspended solids in the sample. The TR86 response depends on the size, shape and composition of the suspended particles. For this reason, mg/L, ppm and % solids measurements must be calibrated with suspended solids from the waters to be monitored.

Turbidity measurements (NTU, FNU) can be calibrated with calibration standards such as formazin, StablCal or SDVB beads.

The Triton TR86 sensors are designed to work with the T80 transmitter. The T80 is a single- or dual-channel transmitter with one or two 4-20 mA outputs with Modbus RTU and optional alarm relay outputs or HART 7 communication. The T80 transmitter allows the suspended solids measurement to be combined with any of its other standard measurements using the S80 pH, S80 ORP, S80 pIon, S80 conductivity or S80 dissolved oxygen sensors.
