Description

The ANALITE NEP-5000 ISO7027 90°series of digital turbidity probes are designed for monitoring and process applications where ultimate sensor flexibility is a consideration.

This probe offers a multitude of physical sensor variations, with the further benefit of a PC interface that allows the user to easily Calibrate, Modify Range modes, and adjust sensor output modes and data characterization. ANALITE NEP-5000 is the completely customizable turbidity probe that can be ordered to the end user’s particular needs. All the benefits of a custom solution at a very competitive price*.

The standard NEP-5000 can be ordered in several custom variations:

Wiping and non-wiping
Several outer case material options
Glanded Cable or Marine Connector / Cable
90° or 180° backscatter for High NTU applications
With temperature and/or pressure

The ANALITE PC Configurator allows:

Fast Accurate Calibration
Compensation tools
Adjustable Slew Rates
Three range settings (low, medium, and high)
Range Hopping between three ranges
Wiper behavior settings
Selection of many digital and analog outputs

Available outputs included are Analog Voltage or Current Loop (4 to 20 mA),RS422/RS485, SDI-12, RS232, USB and digital TTL.
Specifically the ANALITE NEP5000 wiping probes are designed for applications where bio-fouling will build up to obscure the optics such as in long monitoring deployment or placement in warm bio-active waters. The ANALITE integral wiper assembly and optional Copper case is designed for operations where severe bio fouling or sedimentation buildup is likely. The standard ANALITE NEP5000 series of probes, with its Delrin Composite housing may be submerged to a depth of 100 meters. A Metal housing is available for application where a greater depth rating is required. Maximum depth rating is 200 meters (non-wiping with metal case).

NEP5000 Range Set Concept

The ANALITE NEP-5000 series turbidity probes offers a multiple range concept in range setting and range selection. Calibrations can be made for three different levels of usage (Low, Medium, and High)*.
These 3 levels of usage are offered as versions to simplify range selection and order placement. The Versions are as follows:

V1 NTU ranges: 10, 400, 1000
V2 NTU ranges: 10, 400, 5000
V3 NTU ranges: 100, 1000, 5000
V4 NTU ranges: User specified

Calibration costing rules do apply. One calibration for the 3 ranges is included in the purchase price. Additional range calibrations are an extra expense. Different ranges are available for the 90° sensor, but must be specified at time of order and may attract further costs.

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.

90 degree versions provide extremely accurate and stable results at very low NTU values. This sensor can be used in conditions that require high resolution readings at near zero NTU.

Whatever the requirement the NEP5000 series probe is the most flexible choice. It can be ordered and configured to a multitude of applications.

Add parameters, modify ranges, and refine calibrations. All done on the PC interface and saved to configuration files. These configuration files can be saved and read back in to the sensor to restore settings.

**One factory calibrated range in the list price.
***Auto-Ranging can on

Applications

The NEP5000 sensor has 3 internal ranges that can be chosen for a particular application or combined in our “Auto Range” feature that allows jumping from range to range as conditions change.
Also our NEP5000 has a top reading value of 5000 NTUs which exceeds that of all our competitor’s
Due to these powerful features the NEP5000 can support a multitude of applications across 0 to 5000 NTU including:
Laboratory
Potable water
Clean water dredging
Fresh water lakes and rivers
Brackish water dredging
Estuary fluctuations
Sediment studies
Sewers
Food processing
Waste treatment
Pulp and peat production
Algae Farms

A 180 retro-scatter version is also available with applications requiring 10,000 to 30,000 NTU.

NEP-5000 Ordering Codes and Descriptions

Considerations

Standard product is NEP5000WY/D/R42/GC/V2/TN/PN
RS232 has a 10 metre cable length limit
Voltage output has a10 metre cable length limit
USB interface has a 5 metre cable length limit
4 to 20 milliamp output has a100 metre cable length limit
Pressure Sensor is not vented and requires external compensation.
The NEP-CFG is a USB interface and PC software. NEP-CFG is required for end user Turbidity calibrations and configurations.. It is also a means of calibrating a pressure sensor and loading firmware updates
NEP5000 Sensor supports three internal ranges.(LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH)
Sensors are ordered in three standard Versions or combinations of those ranges They are as follows:

V1 Low 10 Medium 400 High 1000Potable, clean water dredging, and fresh water lakes and rivers (near zero stability no negative values and two point resolution)
V2 Low 10 Medium 400 High 5000Dredging, estuary fluctuations, sediment studies, sewers, food processing, waste treatment, pulp and peat production (Still near zero stability)
V3 Low 100 Medium 1000 High 5000 General purpose, dredging, estuary fluctuations, sewers, sediment studies, waste and process controls. (Near zero fluctuations and broad range)

Custom ranges for LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH are available, but will incur additional costs. Please ask for a quotation
Voltage output is a range across 5 volts. Combinations such as 0volts to 5volts or -2.5v to 2.5 are acceptable.
SubconnMale Connector is the standard marine connector for the NEP5000 tail section
Shrouds are useful to protect optics and wiper mechanisms, but also to maintain calibration consistency.
SDI12 interface is compatible with V1.3 equipment but do not support the full command set. Supported commands are Power-on / wipe / read / change range /power-off
Customised wiper modes and wipe on power-up are set in the configuration software.
A 180°backscatter sensor can have the wiping option

Specifications

Maintenance:

Bio-fouling is the biggest maintenance consideration when long term deployment is required. The NEP5000 has an incorporated wiper mechanism to keep the optics clean and we suggest a shroud accessory to protect the mechanism and the optics.
We offer copper componentry to minimise fouling.
We also supply with marine connectors for easy change-overs.
International distributors are capable of servicing and supplying spare parts for local maintenance.
Calibration:
The PC interface and software are essential for calibration and configuration. The software also supplies a usage report to aid in maintenance. The tool is also used to load firmware updates and import and export configuration files.
On the mechanical side of things I suggest a wiper kit and a shroud.
