2.2.7 VB5 sensor: Sludge Blanket detection.
The principle of measure is based on the mitigation of the Infra-Red signal in 870 nm through an
optical path of 5mm. The sensor delivers measures in Sludge Blanket detection in % of transmission
IR. For a better precision, the optics of the sensor are regulated in temperature.
