Certifications: Complies with international standards, including IEC/EN 61326, and holds approvals for use in hazardous areas (ATEX, IECEx).
Operating Conditions: Temperature range: -20 to 60 °C; Pressure up to 6 bar.
Unmatched Advantages for Your Process
1. Unrivaled Measurement Reliability
The patented 4-beam alternating light principle compensates for window fouling, color, and aging of the light source. This drastically reduces maintenance needs and provides unmatched measurement stability, even in the harshest environments.
2. Future-Proof Digital Intelligence
Equipped with Memosens 2.0 digital technology, the COS61-A2F0 enables predictive maintenance, secure data storage, and error-free data transmission. Sensors can be pre-calibrated in the lab, minimizing process downtime.
3. Exceptional Ease of Use & Maintenance
With no moving parts and a clean, simple design, the sensor is easy to install and service. The "Clean in Place" (CIP) capability and lens cleaning systems (optional) further enhance operational efficiency.
4. Versatility for Diverse Applications
From monitoring filter effluent and drinking water clarity to measuring sludge blanket levels in clarifiers and digester feed concentration, the COS61-A2F0 is a single, adaptable solution for multiple critical control points.
5. Reduced Total Cost of Ownership
High accuracy minimizes chemical dosing costs. Low maintenance requirements and long service intervals, supported by robust construction and self-diagnostics, lead to significant operational savings over the sensor's lifecycle.
Ideal For:
Influent/Effluent Monitoring
Sludge Blanket Detection
Flocculation & Precipitation Control
Filter Break-through Monitoring
Digester Feed Concentration Control
