Product Description
Contamination measurement (not on DUSTHUNTER T50)
The glass panes positioned in the sender beam during normal measurement are swiveled
away during contamination determination. The measured value determined and the value
measured at scaling (
→
p. 61, §4.2.3) are used to calculate a control factor. This serves to
completely compensate any cContamination that occurs.
Contamination is determined on one side on the DUSTHUNTER T100 (swivel plate only on
the sender/receiver unit) and on both sides on the DUSTHUNTER T200 (swivel plate also
on the reflector).
Figure 5 Contamination measurement principle (on both sides)
The measuring system outputs status "Malfunction" (the value for Live Zero on the analog
output) when a type-dependent contamination value is exceeded (
→
p. 30, §2.3.1 and
→
p. 108, §7.1).
