Dissolved Oxygen Monitoring System Reduces Maintenance, Cuts Costs

Combining exceptionally accurate dissolved oxygen measurement with sensor self-cleaning and intelligent communications, the Triton DO8 Self-Cleaning Dissolved Oxygen Monitoring System from Electro-Chemical Devices (ECD) features the Triton DO8 Sensor, the AC10 Air Blast Spray Cleaner and the C-22 Controller.

With a state-of-the-art fluorescence quenching (FQ) sensing element, the breakthrough Triton DO8 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor is ideal for a wide range of municipal and industrial water treatment applications. The trouble-free Triton DO8 Sensor is designed with precision FQ optical technology coupled with intelligent microprocessor-based electronics. The self-monitoring DO8 stores calibration data within the sensor, which minimizes maintenance over long service intervals while providing stable, dependable DO measurement.

The Triton DO8 Sensor is highly accurate, featuring a maximum error rate of less than 2 percent, repeatability of ±0.5 percent and resolution of 0.01 ppm or 0.01 percent saturation. It operates over a wide measurement range with three different outputs from 0 to 20 mg/l (0-20 ppm), 0-200 percent saturation or 0-500 hPa (0-6 psi).

The rugged Triton DO8 Sensor was developed for tough municipal and industrial water treatment environments and is designed to withstand ambient temperatures from -20 to 60°C (0-140°F) and records measurements at temperatures from -5 to 50°C (20-120°F). It withstands pressures up to a maximum of 10 bar (145 psi).

Unlike amperometric sensors, the low-maintenance Triton DO8 has no membranes to replace, no electrolytes to refill and no anode/cathode assemblies to service or replace. The only service required is the simple replacement of the DO8's sensor cap, which lasts two years or longer, and the occasional wiping of the sensor head with a damp rag.

The AC10 Air Blast Spray Cleaner is available as either a single or dual channel system. It helps maintain sensor measurement accuracy in turbid water conditions by preventing the buildup of biofilms and other soft coatings, decreasing sensor maintenance cycles and helping to cut plant operating costs.

The AC10 minimizes inaccurate readings caused by films and coatings that develop over time on sensors, reducing sensor cleaning time and the amount of chemicals used for unnecessary water treatments. The AC10 uses pressurized air to generate an area of high turbulence in the water surrounding the measurement end of the sensor.

The AC10 Air Blast Spray Cleaner uses a highly reliable, high current contactor that assures years of trouble free service. It is available with either a 115 VAC 3.0 Amp or 220 VAC 1.3 Amp Air Compressor. It is housed in a rugged, corrosion resistant, fiberglass reinforced polyester enclosure. Installation options for the AC10 include wall mounting or an optional 2-inch handrail mounting system.

The Triton DO8 Sensor utilizes digital communications to send DO data to ECD's C-22 Controller, which provides a 4-20mA output signal to a water treatment plant's control room. The RS-485 digital signal is nearly immune to common EMI/RFI noise that is typically a problem in many plant environments.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as ...

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai...

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to...
