> UV300 Online Water Analyser
The UV300 is a cost effective water analyser for applications focused on one or two parameters.

Mainly based on UV spectroscopy, well known for its stability and low operating cost, the UV300 can
measure parameters like organic matter, nitrate, colour, aromatics hydrocarbons (PAH). Complementary
modules allows the measurement of PO4, Cl2, NO2, Al, Fe, SiO2, Cr(VI) by colorimetric method and turbidity
by a visible or infra-red laser diode.

External probes can be added for physicochemical parameters like pH, ORP, dissolved oxygen, conductivity
and turbidity.

Thanks to its automatic cleaning system and its extremely long life time lamp, the maintenance is roughly
limited to the periodic refill of the inexpensive cleaning solution.

A new web-based interface allows the control and the troubleshooting at distance using an internet
browser on a computer, tablet or i-phone.

 Main Method : UV-visible Spectroscopy
The most common measurements (UV254, NO3, Colour, PAH) are based on the UV-VIS spectroscopy that brings fast
and stable measurements with a simple hydraulic circuit for a high reliability.
All theses measurements are done within 5 seconds. The turbidity of the sample is automatically compensated by a
dual-wavelength method as shown on the figure.
The UV source is a xenon flash lamp specified for 109 flashes that corresponds to more than 10 years of life time with
one measurement every minute.
For PO4, Cl2, NO2, Al, Fe, SiO2, a colorimetric module has been specially developed to reach a very small volume flow
cell that reduces the quantity of reagent to preserve the environment and to reduce the operating cost. A
multi-wavelength LED source assumes a colour and turbidity compensation with an unlimited life time.
The patented flow cell allows very high level of suspended solid without clogging for all the optical measurements.
Physico-chemical measurements like pH, ORP, dissolved oxygen, conductivity can be added to the internal
measurements by using external probes. The dissolved oxygen probe is based on fluorescence method for a lower
maintenance and higher stability. Turbidity can also be measured by external probes.
Three external turbidity probes (high, medium and low range) are also available if the measurement need to be done
in situ, for example before filtering.

Communication
The RS232 port supports the MODBUS protocol to transmit each measuring channel value to a
SCADA system.
Additional parameters are available like status code, error code, calibration values and pumps run time. Basic 4-20 mA
output modules can be plugged on the main board for each measuring channel, in the limit of 12 modules. A USB port
enables to download on any USB key the last 5000 recorded measurements as well as a diagnostic file containing the
configuration and useful information for remote troubleshooting.
The new web interface makes possible to drive remotely the analyser from any computer,
tablet or i-phone with a web browser. For this, an optional Wi-Fi or Ethernet module
is added inside the analyser to connect it to an existing network with an internet gateway.
The recorded measurements file can be imported to Excel for graphs or other treatments.
The software of the analyser can be upgraded by connecting a USB key. 3
 Multiplexing system
When different streams need to be analysed, for example inlet and outlet of a plant, an optional multiplexing system
delivers relay contacts to control external electric-valves or external pumps.

Sample Multiplexing
Up to 6 different streams can be selected

The measuring channels can be either

duplicated (each one having its own 4-20mA
output or MODBUS register), or measured
sequentially to fit with the maximum of 16
measuring channels (a MODBUS register tells
which stream is currently being measured).

User-Friendly Interface
The colour touch screen and intuitive interface available in 8
different languages (Chinese, English, French, German,
Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish) makes very easy to test
or configure the analyser.

Many test functions allows to test and troubleshoot each

element of the analysers (light signal, pumps, solenoid
valves, etc...) to setup quickly a maintenance diagnostic.

Sampling System
The UV300 can adapt to many different kind of sampling depending of the application :
surface water, drinking water, process water or wastewater.

If the water is already pressurized, the sample can be admitted directly inside the analyser with a maximal pressure of 4
bars. Otherwise an optional built-in peristaltic pump, synchronised with the measurement to extend the tubing life time,
allows to take the sample directly from a tank located up to 6 meters below the analyser.

For demanding applications with long distances, another peristaltic pump in a separate enclosure is proposed as an
option.

For some applications on river water or

wastewater where two sampling pumps are
necessary, the UV300 delivers a relay contact
to synchronise the primary pump. The delay Secondary pump
Primary pump
and running time of each pump can be
adjusted easily in the parameters menu of
the analyser.
