1.2 Field of application
The range of application comprises control, feedback control and monitoring.
Measuring location
Ultrasound cleaning
system
The ultrasound cleaning system ensures low maintenance and long-term reli-
able measurement operation.
The ultrasound source integrated in the sensor excites the measurement
windows to produce vibrations in the ultrasound range. The
movement of the surface as a result of this prevents the growth of
pollution in almost all cases and, thus, ensures reliable measured
values during continuous operation.
Compressed air
cleaning (option)
The sensor is designed to be equipped with an additional compressed air-driven
cleaning system, which supports the ultrasound cleaning system as necessary.
1.3 Measuring principle of the sensor NitraVis 70x IQ TS
The sensor operates according to the measuring principle of UV-VIS- spectrom-
etry.
Any substance present in a measuring solution attenuates a light beam that
penetrates the measuring solution. The attenuation (absorbance) of the light
beam is measured for individual wavelengths.The wavelength dependent distri-
bution produces the absorbance spectrum.
The wavelength range where an absorbance occurs is characteristic of the
substance.The extent of the absorbance depends on the amount of the
substance.
The influence of typical interference matrix variants occurring at municipal waste
water treatment plants can be eliminated by including the entire absorbance
spectrum.
With this measuring principle, measuring does not take place continuously but
at intervals.

ba75952e03 05/2017
1.4 Structure of the sensor NitraVis 70x IQ TS
The sensor has a light source (1), a measuring gap (3) to enable the contact of
light with the measuring solution, and a detector (5) to measure the attenuated
light beam.
The sender of the optical system (2) directs a light beam, the measuring beam
(6), through the measuring solution and a second light beam, the reference
beam (8), over a distance without measuring solution. The test sample is
between both measurement windows (3) in the measuring gap.
The receiver of the optical system (4) directs the measuring beam and reference
beam to the detector. In the detector, the light is received by fixed photo diodes.

3.3 Installation
3.3.1 Mounting the sensor
NOTE
The sensor is an optical precision instrument that should be protected against
shocks. Make sure that the distances to the wall, bottom and other installation
surroundings are sufficient. If necessary, protect the sensor from hitting with the
protective ring provided. Mount any fixing elements only on the stable metal
shaft.
NOTE
Always make sure the surface of the enclosure is not damaged by sharp-edged
objects. The enclosure of the sensor may not touch any metallic objects in order
to prevent contact corrosion.
NOTE
Do not suspend the sensor on the sensor connection cable. Risk of cable break
and water penetration at the cable gland.
A wide range of mounting accessories is available for the installation of the
NitraVis 70x IQ TS (see chapter 6 SPARE PARTS, MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT,
ACCESSORIES). Thus, all prevalent ways of mounting are possible.
Generally, observe the following general rules when mounting the sensor at the
measuring location:
Horizontal
installation
When mounting the sensor horizontally, the measuring gap opening should be
on the side. Thus, any air bubbles can escape upward after cleaning and no sed-
iment can collect in the measuring gap. The sensor should be aligned in parallel
with the flow direction.
Fig. 3-1 Horizontal installation
Measuring gap opening
Flow direction

Commissioning NitraVis 70x IQ TS
12 ba75952e03 05/2017
Vertical installation For vertical installation, mount the sensor in a position that allows interfering ele-
ments in the measuring gap to escape with the current. In the case of vertical
installation, the minimum flow rate is 0.2 m/s so the measuring gap is kept clean
optimally.
Fig. 3-2 Vertical installation
Protection against
shocks
When installing the sensor, always make sure it cannot knock against a wall or
another obstacle. Make sure the safety margins are sufficient (e. g. with sus-
pended mounting).
Mount the enclosed shock protectors (see section 3.3.2). Their soft rubber com-
pound absorbs hard impacts.

3.3.2 Mounting the shock protectors
The shock protectors consist of two rings, a cap and four cable ties. To mount
the shock protectors, proceed as follows:
Fig. 3-4 Mounting the shock protectors
1. Plug the cap (pos. 2 in Fig. 3-4) on one of the two rings (pos.1).
2. Put the assembled unit on the sensor end and fix it with 2 cable
ties (pos. 3) as shown in Fig. 3-4.
3. Put the second ring on the cable end of the sensor and fix it
with the remaining two cable ties in the same way.

3.3.3 Connecting the sensor to the IQ SENSORNET
Connection cable A sensor connection cable of the SACIQ or SACIQ SW type is required to
connect the sensor. The cable is available in different lengths. Compared to the
standard model SACIQ, the SACIQ SW sensor connection cable is optimized
regarding its corrosion resistance in seawater and brackish water and adapted
for use in conjunction with the NitraVis 70x IQ TS. Information on this and other
IQ SENSORNET accessories is given in the WTW catalog and on the Internet.
Are the plug
connections dry?
Before connecting the sensor and sensor connection cable, please make sure
the plug connections are dry. If moisture gets into the plug connections, first dry
the plug connections (dab them dry or blow them dry using compressed air).
NOTE
Do not suspend the sensor on the sensor connection cable but use the suitable
mounting equipment. Information on this and other IQ S
ENSOR N ET accessories
is given in the WTW
catalog and on the Internet.
How to connect the SACIQ (SW) sensor connection cable to the ter-
minal strip of an MIQ module is described in chapter 3 INSTALLATION
of the IQ SENSORNET system operating manual.

1. Take the protective caps off the plug connections of the sensor and the
SACIQ (SW) sensor connection cable and keep them safe.
2. Plug the socket of the SACIQ (SW) sensor connection cable onto the
plug head connector of the sensor. At the same time, rotate the socket
so that the pin in the plug head connector (1) clicks into one of the two
holes in the socket.
3. Then screw the coupling ring (2) of the sensor connection cable onto
the sensor up to the stop.

3.4 Initial commissioning
3.4.1 General information
Measuring location The NitraVis 701 IQ TS sensor is prepared for operation in the aeration tank
and calibrated in the factory. For use in the inlet you only have to change the
Measuring location setting.
The NitraVis 705 IQ TS sensor is prepared for operation in the outlet of the
waste water treatment plant and calibrated in the factory.
The sensor is immediately ready to measure.
Use calibration after
initial ommissioning
On the basis of a reference measurement ("laboratory value"), check whether
the default settings deliver sufficiently accurate measured values or whether you
want to carry out a user calibration (see section 4.3 CALIBRATION).
CAUTION
Never look into the measuring window or put objects into the
measuring window during operation! The emitted UV radiation
can damage the eyes!
In the case of authorized use, inadvertent eye contact with the
light beam is not possible.
How to adjust the settings is described in the following section (sec-
tion 3.4.3).

3.4.2 Sensor structure
The physical sensor is the sensor with the instrument or model designation,
NitraVis 70x IQ TS. The physical sensor processes the measurement signal
(absorbance spectrum) and supplies up to 5 measurement results to the
IQ SENSORNET. The measurement results are administrated like 5 sensors that
differ in hierarchy as follows:
Main sensor The sensor for nitrate measurement is the main sensor.
It registers on the system under the designation, NitraVis 70x IQ TS and the
series number of the physical sensor.
Secondary sensor The sensor for the measurement of total suspended solids is the secondary
sensor.
It registers on the system under the designation, SolidVis 70x IQ and the series
number of the physical sensor.
