Requirements
The user is responsible for proper system operation. All precautions
must be followed to ensure safe operation of the instrument.
Spare Parts
and
Disposables
Use only official SWAN spare parts and disposables. If other parts
are used during the normal warranty period, the manufacturer’s war-
ranty is voided.
Modifications Modifications and instrument upgrades shall only be carried out by
an authorized Service Technician. SWAN will not accept responsibili-
ty for any claim resulting from unauthorized modification or alter-
ation.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
If proper operation is no longer possible, the instrument must be
disconnected from all power lines, and measures must be taken
to prevent inadvertent operation.
To prevent from electrical shock, always make sure that the
ground wire is connected.
Service shall be performed by authorized personnel only.
Whenever electronic service is required, disconnect instrument
power and power of devices connected to.

– relay 2,
– alarm relay
WARNING
For safe instrument installation and operation you must read and
understand the instructions in this manual.
WARNING
Only SWAN trained and authorized personnel shall perform the
tasks described in this document.

2. Product Description
Application The AMI Turbitrack is used for the measurement of relative turbidity.
It is applicable for natural water, filtering processes and the process-
ing in water supply companies.
Measuring
Principle
Turbidity is a measure of how much of the light traveling through wa-
ter is scattered by suspended particles. The scattering of light in-
creases with increasing suspended solid. The intensity of light
scattered at 90° as a beam of light passes through a water sample is
measured and indicates turbidity of the sample.
Signal
Outputs
Two signal outputs programmable for measured values (freely scal-
able, linear or bilinear) or as continuous control output (control pa-
rameters programmable).
Current loop: 0/4–20 mA
Maximal burden: 510 Ω
Third signal output available as an option. The third signal output can
be operated as a current source or as a current sink (selectable via
switch).
Relay Two potential-free contacts programmable as limit switches for mea-
suring values, controllers or timer for system cleaning with automatic
hold function. Both contacts can be used as normally open or nor-
mally closed.
Maximum load: 1 A / 250 VAC
Alarm Relay One potential free contact.
Alternatively:
Open during normal operation, closed on error and loss of
power.
Closed during normal operation, open on error and loss of
power.
Summary alarm indication for programmable alarm values and in-
strument faults.
Input For potential-free contact to freeze the measuring value or to inter-
rupt control in automated installations (hold function or remote-off).
Safety
Features
No data loss after power failure. All data is saved in non-volatile
memory. Over voltage protection of in- and outputs.Galvanic separa-
tion of measuring inputs and signal outputs.

Measuring
Principle
The light beam emitted by the emitter LED [B] passes through the
sample and is received by the through beam sensor [F]. Some light
is scattered by the particles contained in the sample and received by
the scattered light sensor [D], which is placed at an angle of 90° to
the emitter LED. The ratio between the signal strength of the signal
receiver and the reference receiver is a measure for the turbidity of
the sample.
