Rethink the need for a controller! The AquaLXP app offers an enhanced user interface to operators using the Lovibond® PTV Process Turbidimeter. Step-By-Step Instructions - At Your Fingertips • Standardize Procedures - Step-by-step illustrated instructions are integrated into the app - this ensures everyone has the same set of procedures and that those important details necessary to achieving excellence in measurement are followed. • Quick and easy access to “pro-tips.” Anywhere in the app that the information graphic appears, be sure to click. These pages contain additional information about the instrument and turbidity measurements. • Fingertip Access - Leave the manual behind! Always have access to the latest features and updated instructions by using the AquaLXP App. Complete Instrument History • Every logged reading, calibration, verification, cleaning or other maintenance performed on a sensor over its lifetime is stored in one place - on the sensor. The AquaLXP™ App allows the user to easily access that information at any time. • By connecting to a PTV Sensor with a smart device, an operator, supervisor or regulator can easily confirm if scheduled verification/calibration procedures, maintenance or cleanings have been performed as planned. Calculate, Graph and Send Data • Easily generate meaningful data - Identify trends faster by viewing or exporting the data for a selected time period as a table or as a graph. • Was there an unexpected or unintended spike in turbidity? Operators can add notes to any data point so that the “why” can be easily referenced in the future. • Quickly calculate important values, such as upper and lower control limits, and percent compliance over a selected time frame. User Security and Data Protection • Uses Bluetooth® Connectivity to communicate directly with a single sensor. Only users that are within a 30M radius of the PTV Sensor has access to the data via the app. • Set passwords - with two levels of access, users who do not need access to certain features or control settings can be prevented from accidently changing anything • Establish Criteria and protocols. Supervisors can easily set pass/fail criteria for verifications and calibrations, as well as set alarms and control other key settings such as Bubble Reject and Signal Averaging.
