Increase Production efficiency with a versatile,

high performance, stand alone sensor

Developed by Process Sensors in response to the demanding

needs of the processing industry, the Infrared Transmitter,

has been designed for integration into automated processing

systems. It's versatile design, allows it to operate as a single

discreet gauge or as a sensor in a multi-point network.

The Infrared Transmitter's 'sensor only' desing eliminates the

need for a central processor and associated interconnecting

cables, simplifying the installation and reducing both initial

installation and ongoing maintenance costs. The sensor contains

all the optics and electronic components to make the measure-

ment, plus provide both analog and digital signals for communica-

tion to host computers and controllers.

Operator Interfaces-The Infrared Transmitter offers users a

choice of interfaces for set-up, calibration and sensor

maintenance.

In the near infrared principle,

several molecular bonds absorb near infrared light at well defined wave-lengths.

The common bonds are O-H in water, C-H in organics & oils and N-H in proteins.

The absorbance level at these specific wavelengths is proportional to the quantity of

that constituent in the material.

Infrared filters within the sensor generate a sequence of light pulses.

One of these pulses is selected to be at the specific absorbance wavelength for the

Constituent to be measured, the others are selected so as to gauge the reflectance

properties of the material. The pulses illuminate the sample being measured, reflected light is

collected and focused on to a detector. The electrical signals from the sensor are processed

in a ratio to provide a value that is proportional to the constituent concentration.

Microprocessor electronics transform this raw value to provide a direct readout in % or other

engineering units.

with a joystick controller for operator access to

protection is provided for security.

Laptop Computer- A Windows

based program is available that allows a

laptop computer to access the sensor's

internal parameters.

Selection of Calibration, Parameter Adjustments,

Diagnostics and Engineering Setup are available

together with a digital display and trend graph

for the measured constituent.

Supports any kind of installation

The versatile design on the Infrared Transmitter makes all conventional NIR gauges obsolete.

The Transmitter may be configured to operate in a variety of formats. Typical installation

configurations are :

Single Sensor Configuration

This is the simplest configuration. The Transmitter is

permanently connected to the wall mounted operator

interface.

Desired output signals may be sent to remote displays

and data logging system s.

Multi-Drop Configuration

This format allows up to 16 sensors to be connected

to a personal or industrial computer.

PSC developed or proprietary software packages are

available to access each sensor and provide data trend

information. If desired, each sensor may be fitted with

a local display and the hand held interface can be used as

a maintenance tool to trouble shoot any individual sensor.

Network Interface Configuration

This format requires each sensor to be fitted with an

optional network interface module.

These modules allow the sensors to communicate

directly to a plant's data highway.

Tropical interfaces are : Fieldbus, Ethernet, Profibus, &

Device Net. Local displays and the held interface may

also be used.
