C4000/C8000 - Converters I 03

Control 4000 and Control 8000

are powerful, microprocessorbased converters.
The advanced modular design enables
precision process monitoring and control with multiple sensors.
The menu-based software is easy to
use and congure, and available in German, English, French, Dutch, Spanish,
Russian and Portuguese. The software
includes adjustable signal damping,
16 linearization tables and advanced
calculation capabilities. Multiple
outputs transmit the measurements in
real-time for precise process control.
An integrated data logger captures vital
process information for quality assurance and plant control records.
This data is easily transferred to a PC
via an RS232 port.

C4000 - Photometric Converter

The Control 4000 photometric converter is designed for optek ultraviolet
(UV), visible (VIS), near-infrared (NIR)
absorption based and scattered light
based sensors.
The graphic display can show absorbance, transmittance and concentration in real-time and in any unit of
measure such as CU, OD, %-Tr., ppm
(DE), EBC, FTU, g/l and many others.

These measurements may also be

displayed as text, bar graphs or trend
values. A factory zero is implemented
as an additional feature for scattered
light sensors. A secondary user zero
for additional offset is included, as
well as a slope and shift adjustment.
This manual adjustment can be used
to compensate for long-term process
related disturbances.

Models AF16-N and TF16-N are high

precision turbidity sensors for use in
various industries. The sensors are designed for inline operation and provide
accurate concentration measurements
with remarkable repeatability, linearity
and resolution.
Modular construction of the sensors
offers maximum exibility in adapting
to various process needs. Options
include electro-polished sensor bodies,
hazardous location (explosion-proof)
capability, chemical resistant materials
(sapphire windows, titanium, Hastelloy,
etc.) and high temperature or high
pressure versions.

AF16-N
(NIR-Absorption / Turbidity)
A special tungsten lamp produces
a constant light beam that passes
through the process medium. The attenuation of the light intensity, caused
by absorption and/or scattering by
dissolved and undissolved substances,
is detected by a sealed silicon photodiode.
The AF16-N uses light from 730 - 970 nm
(NIR) to measure solids concentration
independent from color or color changes. Depending on the optical path
length, measuring ranges from high
percentage (OPL = 1 mm) to 0 - 100 ppm
(OPL = 160 mm) are possible.

TF16-N
(Scattered Light / Turbidity)
Light scattered from particles (trace
suspended solids, undissolved liquids
or gas bubbles) in the medium is
detected by eight hermetically sealed
silicon photodiodes at an angle of 11.
At the same time, the unscattered light
is detected by a reference photodiode
(comparable to an AF16-N). The sensor
can be calibrated in ppm (DE), EBC or
FTU and measures extremely low particle sizes and concentrations. Additionally, high particle concentrations can
be monitored independent of color at
the direct light detector.

OPL
Special optical windows are made from
a single crystal sapphire, providing
superior resistance to all abrasive and
corrosive media. With the appropriate
choice of sensor bodies and windows
in various lengths, the optimal OPL

(optical path length = distance between the windows) can be achieved to

meet the measurement requirements,
e. g. low/high measuring ranges at
highest resolution.

NIST-traceable
NIST-traceable calibration accessories
(AF16-N only) provide absolute measurement condence (for details refer to
page 27).

Typical Applications:
Separator control, pulp
concentration (AF16-N)
Filter control, oil in water (TF16-N)

Models AF16-F and AF26 are high

precision color sensors used to measure color or color changes in various
industries. The sensors are designed
for inline operation and provide accurate concentration measurements with
remarkable repeatability, linearity and
resolution.
Modular construction of the sensors
offers maximum exibility in adapting
to various process needs. Options
include electro-polished sensor bodies,
hazardous location (explosion-proof)
capability, chemical resistant materials
(sapphire windows, titanium, Hastelloy,
etc.) and high temperature or high
pressure versions.

VIS-Absorption (Color)
A special tungsten lamp produces
a constant light beam that passes
through the process medium. The attenuation of the light intensity, caused
by absorption and/or scattering by dissolved and undissolved substances, is
detected by sealed silicon photodiodes.

monitored using color measurements.

For instance, increasing iron or nickel
contents result in a yellow liquid.

OPL
Special optical windows are made from
a single crystal sapphire, providing
superior resistance to all abrasive and
corrosive media. With the appropriate
choice of sensor bodies and windows
in various lengths, the optimal OPL (optical path length = distance between
the windows) can be achieved to meet
the measurement requirements, e. g.
low/high measuring ranges at highest
resolution.

Dual Wavelengths
Selected combinations of optical lters
make it possible to focus on specic
wavelengths ensuring suitable adaption to the application. While the AF16-F
uses one wavelength, an AF26 is
equipped with an internal beam splitter
making it possible to measure two
wavelengths simultaneously.
Connected to optek Control 4000 or
Control 8000 converters, the second

wavelength can be used to compensate for (varying) background turbidity

and any lamp intensity variation to
assure the highest level of precision
and long-term performance. Combined
with a long optical path length, even
the smallest color changes can be
measured.

NIST-traceable
NIST-traceable calibration accessories
provide absolute measurement condence (for details refer to page 27).

Typical Applications:
Monitoring of various color scales
0-10 to 0-500 APHA Hazen,
30 to -16 Saybolt,
0-1 to 0-8 ASTM etc.
Measuring various concentrations
0-100mg/l chlorine,

applications in your industry.

At a specic wavelength in the visible

range (385 - 670 nm) there is a loss
of light as a result of an increase in
color depth. optek sensors measure
in various color scales such as Hazen,
APHA, ASTM, EBC, Gardner, Saybolt,

UV-Absorption
A special mercury lamp produces
a constant light beam that passes
through the process medium. The attenuation of the light intensity, caused
by absorption and/or scattering by dissolved and undissolved substances, is
detected by sealed silicon photodiodes.
The light intensity of the lamp itself
is measured by sealed silicon photodiodes using the same lter as the
measurement wavelength. The sealed
silicon photodiodes also compensate
for any variances in lamp intensity,
assuring the highest level of precision
and long-term performance. Specic
lamp design and capability of optek

converters operating with lowest photocurrents provide a prolonged life span

at the lowest cost of ownership.

OPL
Special optical windows are made from
a single crystal sapphire, providing
superior resistance to all abrasive and
corrosive media. With the appropriate
choice of sensor bodies and windows
in various lengths, the optimal OPL (optical path length = distance between
the windows) can be achieved to meet
the measurement requirements, e. g.

Selected combinations of optical lters
make it possible to focus on specic
wavelengths. Different peak wavelengths are available with a variety of
bandwidth options ensuring suitable
adaption to the application.

optek AF46-VB
Dual Channel UV Absorption Sensor
with Calibration Option

While the AF45 uses one wavelength,

an AF46 is equipped with an internal
beam splitter making it possible to
measure two wavelengths simultaneously. Connected to an optek Control
4000 or Control 8000 converter, a
wide dynamic range is possible to
measure at high and low values with
one sensor in one setup. This ensures
minimal hold-up volume and installation cost.

No window gaskets used

The ASD12-N, ASD19-N and ASD25N absorption sensors are designed

for use in pilot and production scale
fermenters or bioreactors to precisely
measure the growth of microbial or cell
cultures as a function of NIR absorption.

NIR-Absorption
A precisely dened and constant LED
light beam penetrates the process
medium. ASD12-N, ASD19-N and
ASD25-N use light from 840 nm to
910 nm (NIR). The attenuation of the
light intensity, caused by absorption by
dissolved substances and undissolved
material is detected by a hermetically
sealed photodiode.

ASD12-N
The ASD12-N probe is specically engineered for use in laboratory fermenters. The seal-less sapphire window
design eliminates crevices and gaps to
assure the highest level of sterility.
All wetted parts are electro-polished
steel. The ASD12-N is autoclavable and
mounts conveniently through any headplate with a PG13.5 threaded port.
The ASD12-N is available in three different insertion depths with either

in the tip of the ACF60 sensor provides
fast-response temperature measurement for compensation, which can be
displayed and transmitted from the
C8000 converter.

Sanitary Design
Designed for ultra-sterility, the six electrodes are sealed in the FDA (USP class
VI) compliant PEEK sensor tip without
the use of O-rings or epoxy. Mounted in
an optek inline sensor body, the design
ensures smooth and unrestricted ow
of all process uids with minimized

and batches will no longer be an issue
as gamma irradiated Single Use Cells
decrease the risk of contamination
to virtually zero.

S.U.C. Design
The S.U.C. is available in four different
designs. Two versions are primarily for
pre-column chromotography measurements (SUC 01/03) and two versions
for post-column measurements (SUC
05/07) with optical windows for
optek UV sensors.
Each S.U.C. is clearly labeled with data
specic to that particular cell. This data
includes the sensorr constant of the
conductivity sensor, as well as the UV

System Calibration I 27

optek calibration accessories are

specically designed for nonintrusive
calibration and verication of optek
systems.

UV Sensors
Three series of solid lters are available to ensure condence in measurements. The UV-L lter series is used
to calibrate photometric accuracy and
linearity. The UV-B lter series veries
integral blocking and the UV-S lter
series tests for long-term stability of the
sensor.

VIS/NIR Sensors
A special series of solid lters is
available for each wavelength (range)
to ensure best measurement performance. The calibration lters are used
to calibrate photometric accuracy and
linearity.

NIST-Traceable
All optek lters ship with NIST-traceable
(National Institute of Standards and
Technology) certication. The optek
laboratory is equipped with a high quality, NIST-traceable spectrophotometer
to assure quality and quick turnaround
time for recertication of lters.

Concept
Advantages of optek calibration concept include:
- Only 1 lter (set) for multiple sensors
ensures identical calibration
- Only the lter needs to be sent back
for recertication, while the sensor
remains operating
