Turbidity sensor 4112

The Aanderaa Turbidity sensors detects infra-red light scattered by particles suspended in water. This measurement is known to have a good correlation to the amount of suspended matter in water and can be used to monitor e.g. sediment, algae or particle pollution. The sensor generates an output voltage proportional to the turbidity or suspended solids. The low power consumption makes it ideal for applications where battery drain is a concern. Turbidity Sensor 4112 is an 0-5V analog sensor designed for SeaGuard applications. The sensor fts directly onto the SeaGuard Top end Plate using one of the four analog channels. Features: • Optically confned sensing volume • Insensitive to ambient light when under water • Linear output over more than 5 decades • 4 selectable ranges • Optic feedback compensated for temperature drift and aging of optical components • Very low offset voltage does not require adjustment • Very low power requirements • Maximum depth range 6000 meter Application Areas: • Pollution monitoring • Water and waste water quality • Sediment transport • Ocean profling • River and stream monitoring The Turbidity Sensor 4112 is based on the Seapoint Turbidity Meter. The sensor detects light scattered by particles suspended in water. This measurement is known to have a good correlation to the amount of suspended matter in water and can be used to monitor e.g. sediment, algae or particle pollution. The sensor generates an output voltage proportional to the turbidity or suspended solids. The low power consumption makes it ideal for applications where battery drain is a concern. The sensor offset voltage is within 1mV of zero and requires no adjustment across gains.
