HACH 1720E Turbidity Meter

Hach 1720E Turbity Meter / Turbidimeter    Hach Company
 

Overview

The 1720E Low Range Process Turbidity meter provides the sensitivity, stability and flexibility necessary to continuously track the low levels of turbidity found in high-quality filtered water. Equipped with the new dual-input digital sc100 controller, the 1720E is easy to calibrate and operate, and requires very little maintenance. With an optional network card the 1720E communicates via Lonworks directly with existing 1720D AquaTrend systems. A basic system consists of one sc100 Controller and one 1720E Turbidity sensor. The addition of a second 1720E turbidity sensor gives you two complete Turbidity Meters.

Key Instrument Features/Benefits

  • Easy to Install- plug and play sensors
  • Reduced Instrumentation- new controller accepts up to two sensors
  • No need for backup systems- built-in data logger
  • Eliminates false high readings at low levels- built-in bubble removal system
  • Versatile data management/communication-Choose analogue, wireless IR port or use existing AquaTrend network
  • Suitable for regulatory reporting- instrument design compliant with USEPA Method 180.1
  • Two year warranty

Detailed Description

 

Continuously-flowing sample enters the Turbidity Meter body and flows through a patented bubble removal system, which vents entrained air from the sample stream. After travelling through the bubble removal system, sample enters the centre column of the Turbidity Meter, rises into the measuring chamber and spills over the weir into the drain port. Turbidity is measured by directing an incandescent light from the sensor head assembly down into the sample in the Turbidity Meter body. Light scattered at 90° by suspended particles in the sample is detected by the sensor's submerged photocell. The amount of light scattered is proportional to the amount of turbidity in the sample.
