1 INTRODUCTION
The ABB Model 9408 Floating Ball is a dissolved oxygen
measuring system primarily for use in sewage treatment works
where fouling of the dissolved oxygen sensor by rags or other
large solids is a common occurrence.
To prevent this contamination, a flat ended sensor is mounted
inside a relatively large diameter flotation collar, and therefore
presents a surface to the contaminant upon which it is almost
impossible for the contaminant to collect.
Two other systems are available:
• dip
• submersible
which are for use in open tanks and where access is difficult.
See below for a list of variations.
All measuring systems are compatible with the 4640 and 4645
dissolved oxygen transmitters.
A water wash option is available on all dissolved oxygen
systems described in this manual. Optional items are shown in
illustrations as dotted lines.
Information. To enable easy access to the floating ball
sensor a conversion kit is available which converts the
standard bracket into a swivel bracket - see appendix for
ordering and conversion information.
