How to identify the C-FLUOR's optical sensor

Updated over 3 months ago

Distinguishing between Different C-FLUOR

When a C-FLUOR is passed on to someone else, it often doesn’t come with instructions for identification. To determine which sensor model you have, you can:

  1. Look at the engraved letter near the bulkhead connectors.

  2. Check the sensor face filters.

  3. Turn on the instrument and read a sample.

  4. Verify the serial number with the Turner Designs Support team.

Another additional feature that the C-FLUOR has is the function of being an analog version or the digital version. To verify if you have one or the other, please contact the Turner Designs Support team with the serial number of the C-FLUOR.
These methods will help you identify the specific model of your C-FLUOR.

Example of a C-FLUOR unit with Model number and Serial Number displayed:
