2 Basic safety instructions
2.1 Requirements for the personnel
• Installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of the measuring system may be
carried out only by specially trained technical personnel.
• The technical personnel must be authorized by the plant operator to carry out the specified
activities.
• The electrical connection may be performed only by an electrical technician.
• The technical personnel must have read and understood these Operating Instructions and
must follow the instructions contained therein.
• Faults at the measuring point may only be rectified by authorized and specially trained
personnel.
Repairs not described in the Operating Instructions provided must be carried out only
directly at the manufacturer's site or by the service organization.
2.2 Intended use
The sensor measures the spectral absorption of process liquids in the ultraviolet region of the
electromagnetic spectrum. The sensor is suitable for use in a wide range of applicationsin a
variety of industrial sectors , such as:
• Measurement of protein concentrations
• Chromatography monitoring
• Filtration monitoring
• Concentration measurement of organic compounds
• Detection of aromates
Use of the device for any purpose other than that described, poses a threat to the safety of
people and of the entire measuring system and is therefore not permitted.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-designated use.
2.3 Workplace safety
As the user, you are responsible for complying with the following safety conditions:
• Installation guidelines
• Local standards and regulations
• Regulations for explosion protection
Electromagnetic compatibility
• The product has been tested for electromagnetic compatibility in accordance with the
applicable international standards for industrial applications.
• The electromagnetic compatibility indicated applies only to a product that has been
connected in accordance with these Operating Instructions.
2.4 Operational safety
Before commissioning the entire measuring point:
1. Verify that all connections are correct.
Basic safety instructions OUSAF44

2. Ensure that electrical cables and hose connections are undamaged.
3. Do not operate damaged products, and protect them against unintentional operation.
4. Label damaged products as defective.
During operation:
‣If faults cannot be rectified:
products must be taken out of service and protected against unintentional operation.
2.5 Product safety
LCAUTION
Mercury lamp
Can cause damage to the eyes and skin!
‣Avoid any exposure of the eyes and skin to the unshielded product.
‣Wear suitable protective goggles to protect against UV radiation.
2.5.1 State-of-the-art technology
The product is designed to meet state-of-the-art safety requirements, has been tested, and
left the factory in a condition in which it is safe to operate. The relevant regulations and
international standards have been observed.

3.2 Measuring principle
Light absorption
The measuring principle is based on the Lambert-Beer law.
There is a linear dependency between the absorption of light and the concentration of the
absorbing substance:
A = -log(T) = ε . c . OPL
T = I/I0
T ... Transmission
I ... Intensity of received light at detector
I0 ... Intensity of transmitted light of light source
A ... Absorption
ε ... Extinction coefficient
c ... Concentration
OPL ... Optical path length
A light source emits radiation through the medium and the incident radiation is measured on
the detector side.
Once the light has passed through a filter for wavelength selection, the intensity of the light is
determined by a photodiode and converted to a photocurrent.
The subsequent conversion to transmission (%) or absorbance units (AU, OD) is performed in
the associated transmitter.
