IQ SensorNet VisoTurb® Sensors

VisoTurb®: Accurate and Reliable Turbidity and TSS Measurement
The VisoTurb® is an innovative sensor designed for continuous monitoring and control of turbidity and total suspended solids (TSS) in water and wastewater applications. This document details the key features and benefits of the VisoTurb®, highlighting its advantages for reliable and hassle-free operation.

Highly Accurate and Stable Measurements
Factory Calibration: Each VisoTurb® sensor undergoes a rigorous multi-point calibration at the factory, ensuring exceptional accuracy right out of the box. This eliminates the need for on-site calibration, saving time and resources.
Stable Performance: The VisoTurb® boasts superior calibration stability, minimizing drift and guaranteeing consistent, reliable data over extended periods.
Matrix Adjustment: While factory calibration provides excellent accuracy for most applications, a user-friendly matrix adjustment option allows for fine-tuning the sensor’s performance for specific water characteristics if necessary.
Maintenance-Free Operation with UltraClean™ Technology
Ultrasonic Cleaning System: The VisoTurb® incorporates a revolutionary UltraClean™ ultrasonic cleaning system. This innovative technology utilizes an integrated ultrasound source to generate high-frequency vibrations on the sensor’s optical windows.
Prevents Biofouling: The ultrasonic cleaning effectively disrupts the growth of biofilms and other organic matter on the windows, ensuring clear optical paths for accurate measurements.
Reduced Maintenance: The self-cleaning nature of the VisoTurb® significantly reduces maintenance requirements. Unlike traditional sensors that require frequent cleaning, the VisoTurb® provides consistent, reliable data with minimal intervention.
Reliable Measurement Principle
Nephelometric Technology: The VisoTurb® employs the nephelometric measurement principle, which is compliant with the internationally recognized standard EN ISO 7027. This well-established method measures the amount of light scattered by suspended particles in the water sample.
Color Insensitivity: The sensor utilizes an infrared light source with a wavelength of 860 nm, which falls outside the visible spectrum. This eliminates interference caused by sample discoloration, ensuring accurate measurements even in colored water.
Peace of Mind with a 2-Year Warranty
Xylem Analytics, the manufacturer of the VisoTurb®, stands behind the product’s quality and performance. The sensor comes with a comprehensive 2-year warranty, providing users with peace of mind and protection against unexpected malfunctions.
