Description

The NTU turbidity sensor is based on IR nephelometry technology (850nm). The NTU can be easily calibrated using a formazin turbidity standard, the sensor is auto ranging and can offer measurements up to 4000 NTU. The sensor incorporates a low cost optical technology which requires low maintenance and requires no consumables.

The Smart NTU turbidity sensor stores all calibration history within the sensor. This allows the sensor to be interchanged between different systems without losing accuracy.

Thanks to the sensors Universal Modbus RS 485 and SDI-12 communications the sensor can easily be connected directly to system incorporating this communication such as PLC, SCADA systems, telemetry and data logging systems

It communicates to the IQnexus LoRaWAN Transceiver via ModBus RTU. The IQnexus Transceiver comes for an external 12V DC power source or with internal lithium batteries.

This sensor is suitable for both handheld point monitoring and long-term in-situ monitoring. The sensor also has the option of being attached to a 3 metre, 7 metre or 15 metre cable.
