Functions Description:
TURBISWITCH GS4 evaluation unit with required measuring sensor for installation in piping, TURBISWITCH GA1, GA5, GA11
or TURBISWITCH CP2 immersion probe
Turbidity measurement is based on the absorption process, i.e. it reacts to reduced light due to suspended sediment in the
liquid. Measurement is insensitive to extraneous light thanks to the use of pulsed infrared light. Measuring sensitivity depends
on the length of the measuring section. The shorter the measuring section, the more turbid the liquid can be.
Pulsed infrared light is transmitted from the emitter through the liquid to the receiver. If the selected turbidity value is exceeded
or fallen short of, the output relay in the switching amplifier reacts.
Digital communication between the devices
Turbidity dynamics for the overall sensing range: >100dB
Measuring sensor for installation in piping: max. roughly 10,000 FAU (depending on diameter)
Immersion probe for open containers or troughs: max. roughly 30,000 FAU
3 adjustable measured value ranges (low / medium / high)
1 floating changeover contact (both contacts are open when supply power is switched off)
1 floating alarm output contact
Adjustable delay time
Adjustable hysteresis
Attention! Operation of the previous version of the turbidity emitter and receiver (TT-GS and TR-GS), as well as the CP1
immersion probe, is only possible with the TRUBOMAT GS3 turbidity limit monitor.

Installation and Connection of the Measuring Sensor in Piping:
Achievable turbidity values depend to a great extent on the utilised medium and the length of the measuring
section. The length of the measuring section results from the pipe diameter.
Minimum acquirable turbidity in the low range begins at roughly 50 to 100 FAU.
Maximum acquirable turbidity in the high range: Approx. 3000 to 10,000 FAU i.e. roughly 10 to 30 g/l SiO2
Maximum acquirable turbidity in the medium range: 10% of the high range
Maximum acquirable turbidity in the low range: 1% of the high range
Mechanical installation:

The following must be observed in order to assure reliable measurement:
Lenses must always be kept clean.
Cleaning intervals depend on operating conditions.
Always align the emitter and the receiver horizontally.
The measuring sensor must always be filled during measurement.
If the system comes to a standstill, liquid should remain in the measuring sensor in order to prevent residue in
the liquid from becoming caked onto the lenses.
It may be advisable to provide for back pressure by means of restriction, or to install a trap.
The liquid to be measured must be free of gas bubbles. Gas bubbles distort measurement results.
Installation of a trap is advantageous.
It’s advisable to include stabilizing zones upstream and downstream from the measuring sensor of at least 3 to
5 times the diameter of the piping.
If a trap is installed, include a drain cock so that no liquid escapes when the lenses are removed.
Use the included assembly set in order to remove the lenses from measuring sensors GA5 and GA11 (key
and suction cup).

Installing and Connecting the Immersion Probe:
The following measuring ranges apply when the TURBISWITCH CP2 immersion probe is used:
Minimum acquirable turbidity in the low range begins at roughly 100 to 300 FAU.
Maximum acquirable turbidity in the high range: Approx. 30,000 FAU i.e. roughly 100 g/l SiO2
Maximum acquirable turbidity in the medium range: 10% of the high range
Maximum acquirable turbidity in the low range: 1% of the high range
Installing the immersion probe:
The TURBISWITCH CP2 immersion probe is intended for installation into slurry tanks, open troughs and containers
for monitoring turbidity, or as a sludge level indicator.
Install the probe so that it can be easily removed for cleaning.
Cleaning intervals depend on operating conditions.
Do not scratch the lenses while cleaning!
Installing the TURBISWITCH CP2 ZK/Z0 immersion probe:
Z0: Shipped without installation materials.
ZK: Install using the included mounting bracket and adjuster fitting.
Attention:
In the case of powerful flow or viscous media, the cable may not be
overstretched. If this is the case, a strain relief must be secured to the two
holes in the base of the probe (cord, retaining rod or the like). The holes are
laid out so that M6 threads can be cut into them if required.
Installing the TURBISWITCH CP2 ZR immersion probe:
For permanent installation to tanks or basins, the CP2 immersion probe is
available with a probe tube which can be screwed off.

Initial Start-Up, Adjusting the Switching Point:
Adjustment takes place after installation and electrical connection.
Set to smallest possible values in the hysteresis and time delay menus (1% and 1 s).
Wait 15 seconds until menu level 0 is displayed.
Turn the rotary knob clockwise to 100% in the high range.
The blue LED does not light up.
Fill the measuring sensor with liquid or submerge the immersion fitting.
Slowly turn the rotary knob anticlockwise towards 0% until the blue LED lights up (current turbidity value).
If the switching point is below 10% in the high range, continue turning anticlockwise into the medium range in
order to allow for more accurate adjustment.
If the switching point is below 10% in the medium range, continue turning anticlockwise into the low range in
order to allow for more accurate adjustment.
Then adjust down a few more percentage steps from the current switching point.
The closer the value is to the switching point, the more sensitively the device reacts to increasing turbidity.
If a larger change is desired, the value must be set correspondingly higher (empirical value).
In order to prevent erroneous switching due to air bubbles or isolated turbidity particles, the switching
command can be delayed by adjusting delay time (TD) to a value of up to 9.9 seconds.
A fluttering switching point can be avoided by increasing reset hysteresis (HY).
Troubleshooting during Initial Start-Up
Error Cause Remedy
Blue LED does not go
out. Turbidity in the measuring section is greater than the sensing range. Inspect the measuring section and remove obstacles or clean the lenses.
“TT” appears at the
display. Emitter error, emitter not connected, emitter not visible to the receiver
Check emitter connection, inspect the
measuring section and remove obstacles
or clean the lenses.
“TR” appears at the
display. Receiver error or receiver not connected Check receiver connection.
“CR” appears at the
display. Memory error Reset to factory setting
Incorrect
switching point
Deposits on lenses Clean the lenses.
Fill-level too low Fill up the measuring sensor.
Incorrect turbidity range has been
selected Change the turbidity range.
blue LED onetimes go

Maintenance:
Measuring sensor:
If contaminated, the lenses have to be cleaned. A suction cup is included with the TURBISWITCH GA5 and GA11
measuring sensors to this end.

The side with the dot has an anti-contamination coating. Install this end towards the medium!
Fully drain the measuring sensor before performing any maintenance or cleaning work!!!
Do not use any hard objects for cleaning.
