- Submersible auto brush for spectrometer probes and i::scan
- Interchangeable brushes for spectrometer probes with path length 35.15.5 mm and i::scan 35.5 mm
- Same basic module for all variants
- The cover plate protects the brush from clogging
- Accessory for Spectrometer Probes: It attaches to Badger Meter’s s::can spectrometer probes and the iscan device to keep the optical windows clean.
- Automated Cleaning: It features an “autobrush” mechanism for mechanical cleaning of the probe’s measuring surface, reducing the need for manual maintenance.
- Submersible Design: The system is built for underwater use and can be submerged in various water sources for continuous monitoring applications.
- Protection: It includes a shelter that protects the brush mechanism from clogging with debris in the water.
- Exchangeable Brushes: The cleaning brushes are exchangeable, allowing for easy replacement and long-term use.
- Multiple Pathlengths: The accessory is offered in several pathlengths (5 mm, 15 mm, and 35 mm) to accommodate different measurement requirements.
