UviTec TSS Sensor

The UviTec TSS Bypass Sensor provides affordable real-time measurement of total suspended solids (TSS) in water or wastewater. The TSS sensor provides superior measurement performance using LEDs. Designed to meet the needs of a wide array of site-specific conditions, it offers multiple flow cell designs and sensor path length selections for the desired measurement range.

Features & Benefits

Affordable real-time total suspended solids (TSS) monitoring
Operator friendly, low maintenance LED design
Bypass style sensor with multiple flow cell selections to meet application demands
Quick and simple optical measurements
Long-life LED light source
Reagent free operation

Simple, Plug & Play TSS Monitoring

The UviTec TSS bypass sensor is a cabinet style instrument installed directly on a wall, railing or system backboard. Sample is supplied to the sensor from a pressurized source or alternatively, from an open-channel using an accessory pumping/cleaning system. The sensor must be connected to a UviTec controller for operation.

EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION

UviTec Controller
For affordable, user friendly operation and control
UviTec TSS Bypass Sensor
For real-time continuous TSS measurement
UviTec Clean System
For low maintenance automatic cleaning

Multiple sensors can be added to UviTec controllers to expand water quality monitoring capabilities.

Simple to install, easy to operate, no reagents and no waiting for lab results.
