The ANALITE NEP-5000 with 180 option is a 180° series of digital turbidity probes designed for monitoring applications where very high turbidity values and high sediment loads are a consideration. This probe offers all the features and benefits of its 90° counterpart applied to 180° backscatter technology.
- Low range: 0 to 5,000 NTU
- Medium range: 0 to 10,000 NTU
- High range: 0 to 30,000 NTU
The three range calibrations allow for three types of usage modes and linearity from low range to high range in the auto-ranging mode. This is applicable to event based sediment studies where NTU readings are prone to peaks above a set range.
| Technique | 180° backscatter standard |
| Ranges | 3 preset range groups: • Low (example 0-5,000NTU) • Medium (example 0-10,000NTU) • High (example 0-30,000NTU) Custom ranges available Range hopping capability |
| Resolution |
Up to 5,000NTU ±1.5NTU Up to 10,000NTU ±3.0NTU Up to 30,000NTU ±9.0NTU |
| Accuracy | ±1% FSO at 25°C all ranges |
| Outputs |
Digital 3.6V TTL (streaming or polled) RS422/RS485 (streaming or polled) SDI-12 RS232 USB Analog 4-20mA Analog -2.5V to +2.5V (or variations) |
| Zero Drift | Less than ±0.2NTU |
| Calibration | Factory calibrated using non-toxic AEPA polymer solutions |
| Power | 8-30V DC, 15mA on 40mA reading and 60mA wiping |
| Wiping | Wiping is configured through the PC configuration tool. Wipe directions or alternate settings and timeouts will prolong probe life. During a wipe, the output remains within ±1% full scale of the turbidity value just prior to the wipe. |
