Itemnumber: BG28000
Info:
The Fish Toximeter is used for the determination of toxic compounds in water and is conceived as part of an Early Warning System (EWS) to continuously monitor water pollution.
This version includes a dechlorination system for the Fish Toximeter to operate the instrument with chlorinated water. It enables continuous dosing of the dechlorination agent and control of the total chlorine content of the water.
NOW with a NISE 3110 17” touchscreen panel PC built into the front fascia of the instrument above the cabinet. The PC has a 1.66 GHz processor, 1 GB, 80 GB HDD, a FireWire card, USB ports and Windows xp Professional (SP3).
Principle of measurement: is based on the observation of the locomotory behaviour of fishes, including:
- average speed
- speed distribution
- swimming height
- fractal dimension, a measure for turns and circling movements, curviness
- distances between the test organisms
- a determination of number of active fish
Observation chamber construction:
- dimensions approx. 60 x 50 x 10 cm (other dimensions optional with the same ratio)
- mounted on a board with artificial illumination by fluorescent tubes
- optical system, CCD camera, camera software
Fish tank for up to 8 fish:
- easy to maintain, to change fish and to clean chamber
- no temperature control
- access cover for avoidance of disturbing light effects
- flexible parts of the cover
- easy access to important parts of toximeter
Equipment:
- Windows XP software with graphic display of measuring results,
live images and intuitive user guide - software for alarm evaluation
Electrical connections of toximeter:
- mains voltage 220V
- power consumption 100 W
Hydraulic supplies:
- sample inlet, valve
- sample outlet, valve
- sample water supply must be pressure-free
Operation: All movements of the test organisms are recorded. Each individual is observed and analysed for discrete behaviour and interactions i.e. distance. The tank is designed to keep a school of fish in an environment which resembles their natural habitat. The system continuously measures the acute toxicity of the product water, tap water, river water etc. To gain an immediate overview or to present the instrumentation, all current movements and tracks are displayed on the in-built computer screen; a traffic light on the screen informs the user about the present status. A display (using camera recognition) informs the user about the quality of the measurement.
Instrument supervision:
- software analysis for plausibility of measurement parameter
- system is operated in such a way that the water to be tested flows continuously and automatically into and out of the system
- measuring cycle 1-30 min depending on settings, default 1 min.
- continuous measurement after alarm reset
- autostart of program after power failure
Status/problem control:
- relay for optical, acoustic and/or visual alarm (optional)
- alarm data transfer via RS232
- alarm status enquiry using a file
The system uses an easy-to-use touchscreen computer that can monitor system performance and report toxicity in real-time and locally.
Communication: All archived data are easily retrievable. The system records the acute toxicity data /signals automatically and stores them on hard disk. The data have a format compatible with and/or convertible to an MS Office Excel file, or they can be exported to Excel. Data are available in a proprietary format (.dpx), (.csv) with ASCII data collected for 24 h directly via serial communications/USB
Remote control:
- a telephone extension is a pre-requisite for remote control
- live image transmission to external control center using phone line
- remote assistance includes installed pcAnywhere software for a data evaluation period of 3 months
Toxicity Detection:
The system does not need to use any toxic chemicals/re-agents in normal operation It is able to convert the fish behaviour (Danio rerio) signal to acute toxicity and detect the acute toxicity of a broad variety of inorganic and organic substances. It uses algorithms for the recognition of alarm situations, mathematical and statistical analysis, outlier evaluation. Alarm recognition is based on pre-defined alarm thresholds. The system can be enabled to activate an automatic event-sampling device (optional)
Consumables: It can use or is capable of adapting the use of locally available and common fish species, sizes comparable to zebra fish (Danio rerio)
Feeding:
- automatic fish-feeding device
- the system is designed to run unattended (i.e. unmanned) 24 hours a day for a minimum of one week (7 days), this excludes the care of the fish (e.g. check-up)
Environmental requirements:
- sample temperature range 5-35°C
- operating temperature depends on species
- optimal oxygen content > 10 mg/l (dependent on species, temperature), not lower than 4 mg/l
- temperature on site 5-50°C
- humidity < 95 %, no condensation
- sunlight: no direct irradiation
In order to ensure proper operation of the toximeter unit, it should stand as close as possible to the connection for the water supply.
- pressure approx. 1 bar
- a free drain below the tank necessary
- 100 cm x 100 cm x 65 cm for the toximeter including hydraulic connections
- minimum distance to the back wall 10 cm
- sample volume 1-5 l/min
Documents:
- complete documentation of the system is provided
- user manual complete with operational procedures troubleshooting guide, specifications, maintenance schedule
Declaration of conformity:
- European CE certification
Delivery:
- completed upon receipt of equipment, including documents and maintenance instructions
- terms of delivery are according to INCO Terms
