Single Channel Absorption Sensor AF16-EX-F

AF16-EX-F Single Channel Absorption Sensor


The model AF16-EX-F is a precise, single channel absorption sensor designed especially for hazardous environments. The AF16-EX-F is used for inline applications in a variety of industrial processes.

The modular sensor consists of a flameproof stainless steel lamp housing and an intrinsically safe detector module. The appropriate converter can be located either in a safe area or in a flameproof or pressurized enclosure directly in the hazardous location.

The AF16-EX-F uses the light in the wavelength range from 385 to 1100 nm at selected wavelengths and measures precise color or color changes. A precisely defined, constant light beam penetrates the process medium.

The attenuation of the light intensity, caused by absorption and/or scattering by dissolved and undissolved substances in the medium, is detected by a hermetically sealed silicon photo diode.

Optical path lengths (OPL) are available from 1 to 1000 mm for process versatility. The special optical sapphire window provides superior resistance to all abrasive and corrosive media.

The AF16-EX-F is available with a broad variety of line sizes, process connections and wetted materials and can be adapted easily to the process. NIST-traceable validation accessories assure absolute measurement confidence.
