Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is the main purpose of the ECD-100?

    The ECD-100 is designed to monitor treated water and effluent discharge at factories or construction sites. It detects sudden "color abnormalities" (discoloration) in real-time to prevent the spread of damage from drainage accidents.

  2. How does this differ from a standard turbidity sensor?

    Unlike traditional turbidity meters that primarily measure cloudiness, the ECD-100 serves as a simple alternative that specifically monitors color via Visible Light Absorption. It uses RGB-LEDs (400–700nm) to detect changes in transparency, absorbance, and attenuation across the red, green, and blue spectrums.

  3. What industries benefit most from this sensor?

    It is ideal for the textile and dyeing industry, paper and pulp mills, food and beverage processing, chemical manufacturing, and any facility monitoring effluent discharge for environmental compliance.

  4. Can the sensor distinguish between different colors?

    Yes. By analyzing the balance of RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) transmission, the sensor can help predict or identify specific colors in the wastewater.

  5. What are the key advantages of using the ECD-100?

    It offers low initial and running costs, requires no reagents, and provides high-speed continuous measurement without the need for specialized maintenance skills.

  6. How fast does the sensor react to a leak?

    The sensor has a detection cycle of approximately 5 seconds and a total response time of 30 seconds, ensuring that changes are reported almost immediately.

  7. Does the sensor require frequent manual cleaning?

    No. It is equipped with an automatic cleaning function that uses compressed air (0.05–0.50 MPa) to keep the detection head clear.

  8. How is the unit installed?

    The Detection Unit is designed for underwater immersion, while the Control Unit can be mounted on a pole or a flat surface. A 5-meter fiber optic cable connects the two units.
