The SID-25200 Sediment Interface Detector is portable handheld
instrument that accurately measures the settled solids depth in cold settling wine must tanks, lees in wine storage tanks, and a variety of tanks with settled solids.
- Infrared sensor probe
- Audio and visual LED indicators visible in direct sunlight
- Sensitivity adjustment
- Low battery indicator
- IP 67 - Field rugged and water resistant
- Made in USA
It's equipped with a strain relieved signal cable with incremented
depth cable markers and an infrared sensor probe. As the probe is lowered into the tank and
the solid/liquid interface is engaged, the meter lightbar LED sements
begin to illuminate and the horn tone sounds and changes as the solids
density increases. At higher sensitivity settings, the ragged edge on
top of the settled solids or lees will be detected by the sensor.
To measure the elevation of the settled solids or lees:
- lower the the sensor probe to the bottom of the tank
- grasp the cable at a fixed reference point such as the rim of the tank
- raise it back up until the red lights go out and measure the distance you pulled away from the fixed reference point.
