Carbo 520 Optical Smart Sensor

Imagine a new kind of certainty in your production line: With the new Carbo 520 Optical inline sensor you always know the actual CO₂ concentration of all beverages in your process. Carbo 520 Optical is the first CO₂ sensor based on the spectroscopic approach of Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) from Anton Paar.

Carbo 520 Optical is available in three different versions:

• Carbo 520 Optical combined with an mPDS 5 evaluation Unit
• Carbo 520 Optical with Operating Terminal (OT) - measurement values displayed directly on the instrument, no evaluation unit required
• Carbo 520 Optical with a Remote Operating Terminal (ROT) - can be mounted at a distance of up to 250 meters from the sensor

Entirely maintenance-free:

• Optical measurement principle, no moving parts
• No tear and wear

Minimize your operating costs

• Requires 10 W or less
• Needs no external purging gas or compressed air
• No consumables required

Selective and reliable

• Selective CO₂ measurement
• Not influenced by other gases (as as nitrogen, oxygen)
• Color and turbidity are irrelevant to the measurement results

Measure all beverages with a single setup

• Sugar composition or solubility have no influence
• Same measurement method for all kinds of beverages like colas, beers, wines etc.

Suitable for difficult and hygienic samples

• Direct "inline" measurement
• No problems with particles like fruit fibers or pulp
• EHEDG certified
• Suitable for aseptic production

Fast results anytime anywhere

• Very fast measurement results - every 4 seconds
• Full connectivity by fieldbus communication (PROFIBUS, ModBus TCP, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP)
• Classic analog outputs (4-20 mA) and digital-IOs available
