Product Details
Turbidity Sensor Suspended Turbidity Value Detection Module Kit
The Turbidity Sensor Module Kit is an affordable and highly effective solution for evaluating the cloudiness or haziness of water. Turbidity is a key indicator of water quality, directly measuring the presence of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) like clay, silt, organic matter, and microorganisms.
The sensor operates on an optical principle, using an infrared light-emitting diode (LED) and a photodetector. As light passes through the liquid, suspended particles scatter the light. The measured light intensity is then converted into a corresponding electrical signal by the control module. This signal provides both an Analog Voltage Output for precise measurement (often up to 1000 NTU/4.5V) and a configurable Digital Output which triggers a high/low signal when turbidity exceeds a set threshold (adjustable via an onboard potentiometer).
🔧 Key Features
- Function: Detects Suspended Turbidity in liquids using optical measurement principles.
- Output Flexibility: Simultaneous Analog Output (0~4.5V) for continuous reading and a configurable Digital Output.
- High Compatibility: Optimized for easy connection with 5V DC microcontrollers like Arduino, PIC, and AVR.
- Adjustable Threshold: Includes an onboard potentiometer to set the trigger level for the Digital Output.
- Response Speed: Fast response time of less than 500 milliseconds.
- Robust Design: Features an infrared LED and photodetector system for reliable, non-contact measurement.
💡 Applications
- Development of Washing Machine and Dishwasher water pollution detectors.
- Environmental monitoring of River, Stream, and Lake water quality.
- Hydroponic and Aquaculture systems water maintenance.
- Educational and hobbyist projects focused on Water Analysis.
