Sludge Interface Detector
SID-20200
USING THE SID-20200
IMPORTANT
Pg 1
HIGH sensitivity detects relatively small and
large solids.
POWER button activates unit
SENS display indicates current sensitivity
setting
HORN sounds when enabled and probe sensor
obstructed
The SENS button cycles LOW, MED and HIGH
sensitivity settings.
LOW sensitivity ignores relatively small solids,
but detects large solids.
SENS button toggles probe sensitivity
PROBE TRAVEL updates when cable passes
across roller
ZERO button resets travel value
HORN button enables horn
LOW BATT displays when battery change
required
INTERFACE lamp illuminates when probe
sensor obstructed
When solids detected, the INTERFACE lamp
illuminates and the horn sounds.
The displayed SENS value indicates the probe
sensitivity setting.
TOOL FAMILIARITY
Store the probe on the case handle hook,
while carrying the unit.
Probe stored on hook prolongs the life of
the cable and probe.
Wrap cable loosely on cable rack to
prolong cable.
Lower probe to just contact tank bottom
Place cable on COUNTER ROLLER
Raise probe until INTERFACE lamp illuminates
Note PROBE TRAVEL distance
Press POWER button to activate display
Press ZERO button to reset display value
Accuracy and ease of use
taken to a new level!

SLUDGE INTERFACE DETECTOR SID-20200 SPECIFICATIONS
HANDHELD UNIT
QUICK CHECK
Press POWER button.
Press HORN to button to enable.
Place your finger over a probe sensor len.
The INTERFACE lamp illuminates and horn sounds.
The horn can be switched-off without affecting unit operation.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Batteries are located inside the case head.
Remove the case faceplate four screws.
Remove the faceplate from the case and leave wire attached.
Slide the black battery pack out of the case holder.
Remove battery pack cover.
Replace all three AAA batteries with new alkaline batteries.
Slide the black battery pack into the case holder.
Install case faceplate with original screws snug tight.
SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
SENS "LOW" - Detects large solids only
SENS "MED" - Detects intermediate and larger solids
SENS "HIGH" - Detects all solids
FINE TUNING SLUDGE DETECTION
When you’ve established a baseline sensitivity for a tank, you can fine-tune by
increasing and decreasing the sensitivity above your baseline.
At sensitivities higher than your baseline, you can detect the ragged edge on top of
the sludge blanket.
Sludge blankets rarely have a well defined interface with the supernatant.
Experience with the SENSOR ADJ will allow the keen operator to measure the
ragged edge of the sludge blanket. It is not uncommon in a dynamic environment
such as a secondary clarifier to identify several feet of gradual density change on top
of the sludge blanket.
CABLE REPLACEMENT
The cable and probe are one assembly and can be replaced in the field.
Contact Raven for replacement parts and probe assemblies.
