Key Features & Advantages
Unmatched Reliability with 4-Beam Invariant Technology
The patented system uses two light sources and two receivers. By continuously comparing both channels, the sensor automatically compensates for common interferences like coating, color, and light source aging. This guarantees stable, drift-free measurements and drastically reduces maintenance.
One Sensor, Dual Measurements
Simultaneously measure both turbidity and suspended solids concentration from a single probe. This eliminates the need for multiple instruments, reduces installation costs, and provides a more complete picture of your process.
Memosens Digital Technology
Memosens ensures perfect data integrity with contactless, inductive signal transmission. The sensor stores calibration data internally, enabling pre-calibration in the lab and tool-free, plug-and-play field replacement. This technology future-proofs your investment.
Exceptional Performance in Low Ranges
With a detection limit as low as 0.001 NTU, the CUS71D-AA1A is ideal for critical applications like filter breakthrough monitoring, condensate measurement, and final effluent compliance, where the highest sensitivity is required.
Robust, Low-Maintenance Design
Built with wear-resistant sapphire glass windows and a self-cleaning mechanical design that minimizes air bubble retention. Its rugged construction ensures long-term operation in abrasive and fouling conditions, reducing total cost of ownership.
