Connect
Connect the sensor to the process pipe with the appropriate sanitary gasket and clamp. Orient the
sensor so that the electrical connector points toward the floor (see Figure 2, page 14).
The sapphire lens can be damaged if struck by sharp or hard objects or if the sensor is dropped during
installation. Take care when connecting the sensor to the tee so the lens isn't damaged.
Calibration Verification or Test with Your Samples
The factory normally calibrates ProScan according to customer specifications and in most cases, the
factory calibration is sufficient for the application. However, if you want to verify the calibration or
determine the sensor’s response on your samples, follow the steps below and record the ProScan
response.
A common setup is to close off the bottom leg of the tee with an end cap, attach ProScan to the middle
leg, and pour the sample in the top leg.
1. Obtain samples of all products that this system will process. You will need enough of each to fill
a tee as shown in Figure 6, page 18.
2. Connect ProScan to the required power supply. Attach the sensor to a suitable test stand, such
as a sanitary tee (shown on page 14).
3. Be sure to wire the ProScan device properly to either the receiver or to a Multi-meter so you can
view the corresponding signal output from the unit. When you supply power to the ProScan, the
green LED on the electronics board blinks.
Be careful not to dilute or otherwise contaminate the samples between readings. Also, if the highest
degree of accuracy is desired, make sure the samples are at the same temperature as they will be in the
process line.
4. Starting with the product containing the least amount of solids of lowest turbidity, fill the tee as
shown.
5. Record the output for this product, then move to the next, ending with the product containing
the greatest amount of solids.
