The 715 Portable provides a simple, low cost method of spot checking the sludge blanket level in a wide variety of settlement tanks. The cable reel design enables the user to store the cable without needing additional carrying bags or cleaning material.
The sludge blanket is detected by winding the sensor down into the tank, the audible tone will change and the LED illuminates once the sensor has reached the
blanket. The markings on the sensor cable are then used to determine the depth of the blanket. Additional markings can be added to the cable to predefine
maximum and minimum sludge blanket positions.
No adjustment is necessary, the 715 Portable can be used straight from the box, although adjustment of the set point is available internally. The only spare part necessary is a 9V battery.
The 715 Portable is supplied with a choice of sensors that should be chosen to suit the intended application. The IR40 sensor is the most common sensor and will cover most applications, covering Primary and Secondary Settlement Tanks on sewage treatment works. If the main use is to be on Primary Tanks then the IR15 sensor should be used.
