The Raven E-10200 Sludge Interface Detector (

) is a rugged portable field instrument specifically designed to 

detect sludge density and measure sludge blanket elevation in sedimentation tanks and clarifiers.  Precision 
electronics and the latest IRED technology enable accurate and repeatable measurements. Operator features like 
single-handed operation, belt clip and onboard cable stowage make it easy to use.

• 

Power-on/off switch and a horn-on/off switch (power-on with the “I” side down) 

• 

A single lightbar segment lights up when the 

SID

 is powered-on 

• 

Lightbar segments increase with horn as sludge density increases 

• 

Horn may be muted by rotating the sounder vent or can be silenced by the switch 

• 

The probe sensor emits an IRED beam that is invisible and harmless 

• 

Low battery lamp will flash when battery replacement is due 

 
Quick check 
1.  Switch-on the POWER and HORN. 
2.  Place your finger over one of the sensor eyes in the probe gap.  All lightbars illuminate and the horn 

sounds off.  The horn can be switched-off without affecting the operation of the unit.
