How optek Sensors Work |
| Sensor Components |
optek photometric analyzers consist of three main components:
|
 |
- Converter - (transmitter)
- Sensor - Inline (flow-through) or insertion-type (probe) sensor body with light source and detector assembly.
- Cableset - special high-grade shielded cable assembly connecting the sensor to the converter.

Light from the light source (6) is precisly defined by the optics module (5), passes through a window (2), and through the process stream (1). The resulting light beam is filtered (3) and then detected by a photo diode (4).
The resulting photocurrent is precisely amplified, converted, and analyzed by the converter. The converter provides real time measurements and can send outputs to the process control system.
