2.2 General Product Information
The controller enclosure is NEMA4X/IP66-rated and has a corrosion-resistant
finish designed to withstand corrosive environmental constituents such as salt
spray and hydrogen sulfide. The controller display shows the current turbidity
reading if connected to a single sensor, or two readings when two sensors
are connected.
The 1720E Turbidimeter is a continuous-reading nephelometric turbidimeter
designed for low-range turbidity monitoring. This process turbidimeter is capable
of measuring turbidity from 0.001 to 100.0 NTU. Calibration is based on formazin,
the primary turbidity reference standard adopted by the APHA Standard Methods
for the Examination of Water and Wastewater and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and on StablCal
®
which is also recognized as a primary
standard.
