1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Triton TR8 is a nephelometric turbidity analyzer designed for use in water and wastewater.
Turbidity, the cloudiness or haziness of a water sample, is caused by particles suspended in the
water, typically clay and silt. Since bacteria and viruses can be attached to these particles,
turbidity has become a critical indicator of the overall water quality.
The Triton TR8 uses an optical method for determining the turbidity, a light beam is directed
into the sample where it is scattered by suspended particles in the water. The amount of
scattering depends on the amount of material in the water, the wavelength of light used and
the size and composition of the suspended particles. The 90° scattered light detection method
used by the Triton TR8 sensor is the most common sensor design for turbidity.
The Triton TR8 uses a long lived near infrared LED light source (880 nm) and the 90° scattered
light method in accordance with ISO 7027 / EN 27027 to assure accurate turbidity values under
standardized and comparable conditions. The turbidity value is calculated inside the sensor and
digitally transmitted to the Triton TR8 analyzer. The analyzer interprets the signal, displays the
turbidity value and transmits the appropriate 4-20 mA output.
1.1 TR8 SENSOR FEATURES
The TR8 sensor has a high sensitivity at low levels of turbidity, a simple
optical configuration and a balanced sensitivity to all particle sizes. This
smart sensor is factory calibrated and ready to use when received. All of
the signal processing is performed in the sensor and a noise resistant
digital signal is sent to the analyzer/transmitter. A High Range version,
(-2), is available for applications with turbidity higher than 500 FNU.
Figure 1
Three detectors monitor the light beam at an angle of 90°. The first detector, inside the sensor,
(see Figure 1) is the reference detector that compensates for changes in the LED light source
(#1) caused by aging or other variations. The second detector (#2) measures a short path length
which is best for high concentration measurements. The third detector (#3) measures the
longer path length which is best for lower concentrations. The turbidity signal is constantly
adjusted versus the reference detector, digital filter functions suppress interfering signals and
self monitoring diagnostics assure a highly reliable measurement.
An optional mechanical wiper assembly is available to keep the scratch resistant sapphire
optical windows clean in dirty applications. The cleaning cycle and duration times are user
defined parameters.

Triton TR8
2.0 INSTALLATION
Mount the TR8 in a location where there is easy access to the analyzer and sensors. Install the system in
an area where vibrations, electromagnetic and radio frequency interference are minimized or absent.
Do not mount in direct sunlight or areas of extreme heat. The TR8 is suitable for outdoor use if mounted
with a protective cover or sunshield.
2.1 ANALYZER MOUNTING
The Universal Mounting allows the Analyzer to be Wall mounted, Panel Mounted or Pipe/Rail Mounted.
The drawings below show the Universal Mounting used with the C-22 analyzer for panel mounting and
the Universal Mounting with the T-23 transmitter that uses the same mounting as the C-22 for Pipe/Rail
Mounting. The Triton TR8 Analyzer has the same dimensions as the Panel Mounted C-22 Analyzer.
2.1.1 Panel Mounting
Figure 2
2.1.2 Pipe Mounting
Figure 3
2.2 SENSOR MOUNTING
The Triton TR8 turbidity sensor can be installed as an immersion sensor into a tank with the optional
Immersion assembly PN 1000223, or in-line with a Flow Through fitting, PN 1000219, or the special Debubbler Flow through fitting designed especially for drinking water applications.
Care must be taken when installing the sensor in a pipe or near a tank wall to avoid the back scattering
of light which leads to a higher sensor response than expected. The lower the turbidity of the measured
Triton TR8
Page 3
solution is the greater the possibility of back scattering. The following graph can be used as an
installation guideline.
Figure 4
2.2.1 Immersion Assembly
The immersion assembly consists of a 1 meter down tube, ¾” FNPT on the process end and a cap with
cable feed through on the other. Verify that the sensor is at least 6” from the tank bottom and side
walls. The cable is not water proof and under no circumstances should the sensor be suspended in the
application by the cable.
Figure 5
Page 4
Triton TR8
2.2.2 Flow-Through Assembly
Conventional turbidity measurements are carried out in an unpressurized sample. When the pressure on
a sample (which was pressurized beforehand) is released, fine bubbles are produced which distort the
turbidity measurement. The pressure must remain constant or rise as the water moves from a pipe and
into the flow cell in order to minimize the formation of air bubbles. The outfall from the flow cell must
not create a low pressure in the flow cell by siphoning the sample to drain, see examples below.
If air bubbles cannot be eliminated then the mechanical wiper assembly can help remove the bubbles
that form on the measurement windows, otherwise use the De-Bubbler Assembly below.
Figure 6: Proper Installation examples to avoid bubble formation.
Figure 7: Sensor alignment in flow cell with optional spray cleaner and without.

Figure 8: Dimensional Drawing of the Flow-Through Assembly with optional union adapters
2.2.3 De-Bubbler Flow Assembly
When air bubbles are present in the sample the De-Bubbler Flow assembly effectively removes them
from the sample. The lower half of the incoming sample flow is diverted down the central tube (1) to the
“Ring Channel” where air bubbles can escape through the outlets, (2), upwards to the exiting sample
flow. Bubble free water is pushed through the tubes, (3), into the measuring Chamber, (5). The design
facilitates a high flow rate by the TR8 sensor, (6), that optimizes response time and minimizes
sedimentation forming in the chamber. A large drain plug, (4), aids in flushing any sediment that does
deposit in the chamber.

2.3 WIRING
The various cables, measurement signal, outputs and power, enter the Triton TR8 instrument through
the three cable glands on the bottom of the instrument. Only properly trained personnel should attempt
to wire the instrument.
2.3.1 Sensor Wiring
The Triton TR8 sensor uses a digital communication protocol that allows the sensor to be placed up to
200 meters from the analyzer. The TR8 Sensor is supplied with either a 7 meter or 15 meter cable.
Installation at distances greater than 15 meters requires the use of an extension cable, PN
9640004.cond and Junction Box, PN 1000222.

3.3.3 CURRENT INPUT
To use the "Current input" function group, you need a relay board with current input which is Not Part
of the Basic Version. With this function group you can monitor process parameters and use these for
feed forward control. For this purpose, you must connect the current output of an external measured
variable (e.g. flow meter) to the 4 to 20 mA input of the transmitter. The following assignment applies:
Flow in main stream
Flow meter start of measuring range
Flow meter end of measuring range
Current signal in mA
4
20
Current input signal in %
0
100
Monitoring of flow in main stream
This arrangement is particularly practical if the sample flow through a flow assembly in an open outlet is
completely independent of the flow in the main stream. This permits signaling of an alarm condition in
the main stream (flow too low or has completely stopped) and triggers dosing switch-off even if the
medium flow is retained due to the method of installation.

Information
Brief flow shortfalls can be
suppressed by a delay and
do not result in controller
switch-off.
In the case of a controller, a
delay until a representative
measured value is received is
useful if the flow fails for an
extended period.
0 to 100% corresponds to 4
to 20 mA at the current
input. Observe measured
value assignment to the
current output of the flow
meter.
The controller is switched off
if the value entered in Z4 is
undershot or overshot.
If Z6 = off, the field Z7 is not
available. Z6 = basic:
disturbance variable only
affects the basic load
(alternatively dosing in
proportion to quantity can
be used if usual PID
controlling is not possible,
due to a defective sensor, for
example).
When the value is set, the
controller actuating variable
is the same size when feed
forward control is switched
on as when feed forward
control is switched off.
3.3.4 CURRENT OUTPUT
Use the "Current output" function group to configure the individual outputs. You can enter either a
linear characteristic (O3 (1)) or you can simulate a current output value (O3 (2)) to check the current
outputs. In addition, a user-defined current output Table (O3 (3)) is available with the Plus Package. If a
second current output is present, you can output the controller actuating variable in accordance with
field R 237 via the current output. Exception: if you have chosen a "continuous controller" for current
output 2, you cannot enter a user-defined current output Table on current output 1.
In a User Defined Output Table, the variable must steadily increase across the table or decrease, the
variable cannot change direction. The distance per mA (SV/mA) between two table values must be
greater than: 0.005 FNU, 0.005 NTU, 0.005 ppm, 0.005 mg/l, 0.005 %, 0.05 g/l or 0.25 C°.

In the CHECK function group, you can select different monitoring functions for the measurement.
Triton TR8

All monitoring functions are off by default. To adapt the Sensor Check System to the current application
conditions, add and set the suitable functions.
Alarm threshold monitoring (fields P1 to P4)
You can use this function to monitor the measured value for permissible upper and lower limits and
trigger an alarm (E154, E155).
PCS alarm (Process Check System), (fields P5 to P8)
AC (Alternating Check): The function AC (field P5) is used to check measuring signals for deviations. If
the measuring signal does not change within an hour an alarm (E152) is triggered. The reason for such
sensor behavior can be contamination, cable rupture or similar.
CC (Controller Check): You can monitor the controller activity with the function CC. This function is
mainly used for batch processes and single-sided limit switches. A malfunction of the controller is
detected and reported thanks to freely adjustable monitoring times (E156 - E157).
The CHECK Function group is an optional package; the BASIC package does not include items listed in

3.3.7 RELAY
To use the RELAY function group, you need a relay board which is not part of the basic version.
The following relay contacts can be selected and configured as desired (max. four contacts, depending
on options installed):
• Limit contactor for measured turbidity value: R2 (1)
• Limit contactor for temperature: R2 (2)
• PID controller: R2 (3)
• Timer for cleaning function: R2 (4)
• Chemoclean function: R2 (5)
3.3.7.1 Limit contactor for measured turbidity value and temperature
The transmitter has different ways of assigning a relay contact.
Switch-on and switch-off points and pick-up and drop-out delays can be assigned to the limit contactor.
In addition, you can configure an alarm threshold to output an error message and to start a cleaning
function in conjunction with this.
These functions can be used both for turbidity measurement and for temperature measurement.
Triton TR8
Page 23
Please refer to Fig. 28 for a clear illustration of the relay contact states.
• When the measured values increase (maximum function), the relay contact is closed as of t2
after the switch-on point (t1) has been overshot and the pick-up delay has elapsed (t2 - t1). The
alarm contact switches if the alarm threshold (t3) is reached and the alarm delay (t4 - t3) has
also elapsed.
• When the measured values decrease, the alarm contact is reset when the alarm threshold (t5)
is undershot as is the relay contact (t7) after the drop-out delay (t7 - t6).
• If the pick-up and drop-out delays are set to 0 s, the switch-on and switch-off points are also
switch points of the contacts.
Settings can also be made for a minimum function in the same way as for a maximum function.

3.3.7.2 PID Control
You can define various controller functions for the transmitter. On the basis of the PID controller, P, PI,
PD and PID controllers can be implemented. For an optimum control system, use the controller that best
Page 24
Triton TR8
suits your application. Depending on the option selected in the R 237/R 266 field, the actuating signal
can be output via relays or via current output 2 (if available).
• P controller: Used for simple linear control purposes with small system deviations. Where major
changes are to be controlled, overshooting may occur. In addition, a lasting control deviation is to be
expected.
• PI controller: Is used for control systems where overshooting is to be avoided and no lasting control
deviation should occur.
• PD controller: Is used for processes that require quick changes and where peaks are to be corrected.
• PID controller: Is used for processes where a P, PI or PD controller does not control sufficiently.
Configuration options of the PID controller
The following configuration options are available for a PID controller:
• Change control gain Kp (P influence)
• Set integral action time Tn (I influence)
• Set derivative action time Tv (D influence)
Basic load dosing (Basic)
The basic load dosing (field R231) is used to set a constant dosage (field R2311)
PID controlling plus basic load dosing
If you select this function (PID + Basic) in field R231 the PID controlled dosage will not be lower than the
basic load value entered in field R2311.
Commissioning
If you do not yet have any experience for setting the control parameters, set the values that yield the
greatest possible stability in the control circuit. Proceed as follows to optimize the control circuit further:
• Increase the control gain Kp until the controlled variable just starts to overshoot.
• Reduce Kp slightly and then reduce the integral action time Tn so that the shortest possible correction
time without overshooting is achieved.
• To reduce the response time of the controller, also set the derivative action time Tv.

Actuating signal outputs (R237 ... R2310)
Each control contact outputs a cyclical signal whose intensity corresponds to the controller's
manipulated variable. A distinction is made according to the type of signal cycle:
• Pulse length modulation
The bigger the calculated manipulated variable is, the longer the contact affected remains picked up.
The period T can be adjusted between 0.5 and 99 s (field R238). Outputs with pulse length modulation
are used to activate solenoid valves.
• Pulse frequency modulation
The bigger the calculated manipulated variable is, the higher the switching frequency of the contact
affected. The maximum switching frequency 1/T can be set between 60 and 180 min-1.
Page 26
Triton TR8
The on-time tON is constant. It depends on the set maximum frequency and is approx. 0.5 s for 60 min-1
and approx. 170 ms for 180 min-1. Outputs with pulse frequency modulation are used to activate
directly controlled solenoid dosing pumps.
Constant controller
Via the current output 2, the minimum actuating variable (0 %) of the controller is output with 0/4 mA
and the maximum actuating variable (100%) of the controller is output with 20 mA.
Control characteristic for direct and inverse control action
You can choose between two control characteristics in the R236 field:
• Direct control action = maximum function
• Inverse control action = minimum function
3.3.7.3 Timer for cleaning function
This function includes a simple cleaning option. You can set the time interval after which cleaning should
start. So you can only select a constant interval sequence. Other cleaning functions are available for
selection in conjunction with the Chemoclean function (version with four contacts, see "Chemoclean
function" section).
Note!
Timer and Chemoclean do not work independently of one another. While one of the two functions is
active, the other cannot be started.

3.3.7.4 Chemoclean function
Just like the timer function, Chemoclean can also be used to start a cleaning cycle. However,
Chemoclean also gives you the added option of defining different cleaning and rinsing intervals. As a
result, it is possible to clean irregularly with different repeat cycles and to separately set the cleaning
times with post rinse times.
Note!
• To use the Chemoclean function the transmitter has to be equipped with a designated relay board (see
product structure or chapter "accessories").
• Timer and Chemoclean do not work independently of one another. While one of the two functions is
active, the other cannot be started.
• For the Chemoclean function, the relays 3 (water) and 4 (cleaner) are used.
• If cleaning is prematurely aborted, a post rinse time always follows.
• If the setting is "Economy", cleaning only takes place with water.

3.4 CALIBRATION FUNCTION GROUP MENUS
Measuring chain calibration is performed in this function group. The calibration data are saved in an
EEPROM directly in the sensor. For this reason:
• Recalibration is not required in the event of a power failure
• Recalibration is not required when the transmitter is replaced
• Customer-specific recalibration is required, however, when the sensor is replaced
Three calibration data records are saved in the sensor for each of the four main operating modes.

Select the desired data record in the SETUP 2 function group in the B4 field.
• In the FNU operating mode, the sensor is factory calibrated with formazine traceable to ISO 7027.
• In the ppm operating mode, the calibration data records for Kaolin and SiO2 are derived from the FNU
data records.
• In the % operating mode, the calibration data records are set to the average of various residual
concrete waters. They are preset in such a way that correct values are displayed for average clarity.
However the settings do not follow a standard currently applicable.
• In the g/l operating mode also, the sensor is not calibrated to a fixed value as no standard is directly
applicable. You must carry out a calibration because the media of the various applications differ too
greatly here.
Three-point sensor calibration is the standard calibration. It is absolutely essential:
• When commissioning the sensor in sludge applications
• When changing to another sludge type
Three-point sensor calibration is not necessary:
• When commissioning the sensor in the drinking water area (sensor has been calibrated for drinking
water applications in the factory).
• For residual concrete water. Density measurement for determining the concentration of residual
concrete water is based on %–data records. They are preset in such a way that correct values are
displayed for average clarity. One-point calibration is often sufficient to adjust the system in the event of
deviating values.
• When recalibrating with the same sludge type. One-point calibration suffices here if the degrees of
lightness and clarity, for example, do not differ too greatly.
Note!
• Sludge samples tend sediment. Mix the sample well, even during the calibration process, but not
to the extent that gas bubbles are formed.
• The sensor has to be far enough away from the floor and the wall of the calibration vessel during
calibration. The immersion depth must be at least 40 mm.
• The characteristic determined during the calibration is stored in the selected data record (Setup 2, B4
field).
• Calibration is not possible if data record 1 is selected with the factory setting.
• If the calibration data deviate from the standard values by a factor of two or more, a warning (E084) is
output. The calibration results are accepted.
• If the calibration results are outside the permitted range, a calibration error (E045) is indicated. The
calibration results are not accepted.
• For every type of calibration, the installation adjustment and the offset are reset to zero and the slope
to 1.0.

Three-point calibration (3–Pt)
You should perform the calibration in the turbidity/solids concentration range in which you plan to
measure. The overall calibration characteristic of the measuring chain is determined using three samples
of known turbidity or known solids content.
Calibration with a very dark, high-absorption medium returns a small slope while light, clear media
return big slopes.
You can create the requisite probes by diluting a medium sample. In general, very good calibration
results are achieved with a concentration gradation of 10 %, 33 % and 100 %. The following condition
must be met for the calibration: Sample A > 1.1 x sample B > 1.1 x sample C
Figure 20: Preparing 3 point calibration samples
A
Original Sample
B
1 part A + 2 parts water
C
1 part A + 9 parts water
A different dilution ratio should be selected for very high-absorption media to achieve accurate
calibration results. Instead of 100 % – 33 % – 10 %, you can use dilution ratios of 100 % – 20 % –
5 % or 100% – 10 % – 3.3 %.
If the scattered light of a light sample hits a sensor that is calibrated for a dark medium, it can happen
that the signal value is so high that it is above the calibration curve.
Three-point correction (Corr)
If the calibration was performed with an unknown sample concentration but with a defined dilution, the
correct value determined afterwards in the laboratory is entered here.
Edit calibration (Edit)
If each of the samples has been determined afterwards in the laboratory, the correction for the
calibration is entered here.
Installation adjustment (Refl)
In installation adjustment, backscatter from the immediate sensor environment is compensated.
Installation adjustment must be performed with a medium lower than 2 FNU or 5 ppm.
Page 40
Triton TR8
One-point calibration (1–Pt)
In the area of TS/concentration measurement, one-point calibration is used to change the conversion
factor (field C166). The slopes are not changed.
In the FNU range, the two slope values are adjusted by a one-point calibration. This is possible because
the conversion factor in the FNU range is always 1 and the editing range is limited to 4000 FNU. In this
way, the two curves are always increasing and the calibration remains clear.
In the ppm range, the slope values are adjusted up to 500 ppm. For higher values, the conversion factor
is changed.
Calibration data (Data)
Here, you can display the calibration points 1 to 3, slope 1 and 2 and the conversion factor.
With three-point calibration, the curves used in the algorithm are adjusted as precisely as possible using
the data points acquired. The difference between the ideal curve of the algorithm and the three actual
calibration points can be found as a correction factor in the C161, C162 and C163 fields of the data
function. The correction values are indicated in %. The values should be as close to 100 % as possible.
Values from 70 to 80 % are acceptable. 50 % in one or two calibration points clearly indicates a
problematic calibration. A warning (E084) is output here for this reason. This can mean that significant
deviations can occur between the calibration points. The calibration points themselves are always
retrieved correctly.

4.0 MAINTENANCE
You must carry out maintenance tasks at regular intervals. For this, specify the maintenance times in an
operations logbook or operations calendar.
The following tasks must be carried out:
• Cleaning the transmitter
• Checking the measuring function
• Cleaning the sensor
• Recalibration
4.1 CLEANING THE TRANSMITTER
Clean the front of the housing with usual commercial cleaning agents. In accordance with DIN 42 115,
the front is resistant to:
• Isopropanol • Diluted acids (max. 3%) • Diluted alkalis (max. 5%)
• Esters • Hydrocarbons • Ketones • Household cleaners
Caution! For cleaning purposes, never use:
• Concentrated mineral acids or alkalis • Benzyl alcohol • Methylene chloride • High-pressure steam
4.2 CHECKING THE MEASURING POINT
4.2.1 Transmitter
The TR8 Turbidity sensors cannot be simulated as they contain the complete data processing and all the
measured values are transmitted to TR8 Analyzer using the digital interface RS 485. Therefore a
functional sensor is required for the measuring point test.
Method for testing a measuring point:
• Check that device is operable and that the display reacts appropriately, e.g. by pressing the PLUS key.
• Check the current outputs by carrying out a current simulation (Field O3 (2)).
• Measure the sensor operating voltage: approx. 10 to 16 V at terminals 87 (+) and 88 (–).
• The cause for an incorrect voltage may be present either at the device or at the sensor.
– Replace the sensor.
– If the sensor operating voltage is still too low replace the power supply module (The analyzer
must be returned to the factory for power supply replacement).
Page 48
Triton TR8
• Sensor operating voltage is o.k. but no measured turbidity value even with a new sensor. Replace the
transmitter module (The analyzer must be returned to the factory for power supply replacement).
4.2.2 Triton TR8 Sensor
1. Remove the sensor from the medium.
2. Clean and dry the sensor.
3. Check the slope using CUY22 check unit. A stable measured value (between 2 and 6 FNU) must
register. The exact value is not of importance but must be repeatable for the same sensor.
4.3 CLEANING THE SENSOR
Contamination of the sensor can impact the measurement up to the point that measurement no longer
functions, e.g. by:
• Thick film build-up on the sensor optics. Film build-ups can cause bad measurement results.
• Wiper clogging. This causes bad measurement results.
The sensor must be cleaned regularly to ensure reliable measurement. The frequency and intensity of
the cleaning depend on the medium.
The sensor must be cleaned:
• Prior to every calibration • Regularly during the operation • Prior to returning the sensor for repair.
4.4 RECALIBRATION
After cleaning check the Triton TR8 in the Calibration Cap the reading should be between 2FNU and 6
FNU. If not then you have the following options in the ''Calibration'' menu of the transmitter:
• One-point calibration
• Three-point calibration
• Installation adjustment
• Correction function
• Adjust calibration data
If you are unable to recalibrate the sensor then the sensor must be replaced. When replacing a sensor
pay attention to the following:
• Replacing the Triton TR8 sensor
All factory calibration data are saved in the sensor. The sensor and the assembly are calibrated together.
No additional calibration is required for applications with pure or ultrapure water, if the sensor and the
Triton TR8
Page 49
assembly are replaced together. The calibration data of the sensor are automatically transferred to the
measuring instrument.

6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS
The transmitter constantly monitors its functions itself. If an error occurs which the device recognizes,
this is indicated on the display. The error number is shown below the display of the main measured
value. If more than one error occurs, you can call these up with the MINUS key. Refer to the "System
error messages" table for the possible error numbers and remedial measures. Should a malfunction
occur without any transmitter error message, please refer to the "Process-specific errors" or the
"Device-specific errors" tables to localize and rectify the error. These tables provide you with additional
information on any spare parts required.
