Overview
The ANALITE turbidity probe is available in standard ranges of 100NTU, 400NTU and 1000NTU with specific custom ranges available for up to 3000NTU. The NEP390 series of turbidity probe offers digital outputs of SDI-12 and/or RS232.
The ANALITE NEP9000 non wiping turbidity probes are specific to fast and cold running water or in short monitoring deployment applications where bio-fouling will not build up and obscure the optics. However, if bio-fouling or sedimentation build up is unlikely the ANALITE NEP9500 turbidity probe is the ideal model. The turbidity probe comes complete with an integral wiper assembly specifically designed to cope with bio-fouling or sedimentation build up. Standard ANALITE NEP9000 and NEP9500 series turbidity probes with their acetal housing are fully functional to the submerged depth of 50 metres (165 feet). If a greater depth of up to 100 meters (330 feet) is required there is the option of stainless steel housing. This is not recommended for deployment in salty or acidic water due to possible impact of crevice corrosion.
The ANALITE NEP9000 and NEP9500 turbidity probes use 90° optics and infrared light in accordance with ISO7027. Unique modulation techniques almost totally reject ambient light conditions along with a unique microprocessor controlled differential sample and hold circuit for enhanced performance particularly at low turbidity levels.
The ANALITE NEP9000 and NEP9500 turbidity probes are suitable for an extensive range of turbidity monitoring applications however, the model and option which is best suited is dependant to the specific application, the measuring environment, the logging equipment and the monitoring period/deployment times required.

| Repeatability | ±1% at 25°C for 100NTU and 400NTU. ±2% at 25°C for 1,000NTU |
||
| Linearity | Better than 1% for 100NTU and 400NTU, better than 5% for 1,000NTU. |
||
| Temp. Coefficient | Better than ±0.05%/°C | ||
| Outputs | ±2.5V over range. 4 - 20mA, 0 - +2.5V and 0 - +1V ranges also available to order. |
||
| Zero Offset | Less than ±3mV (0 to 40°C, ±2.5V output) | ||
| Calibration | Factory calibrated using non-toxic AEPA polymer solutions. |
||
| Power | 9.6 - 28V dc, 15mA ON. 40mA when wiping for NEP9500 models only (at 30m submersion). | ||
| Settling Time | < 5 second after application of power to 99%. | ||
| Wiping | For NEP9500 models only. Initiated by momentarily (>50msecs and <500msecs) bringing the wiper actuation conductor to the 0V conductor. By permanently terminating the wiper actuation conductor to 0V will initiate a wipe every 2 hours and on power-up. During a wipe, the output remains within ±1% full scale of the turbidity value just prior to the wipe. |
