Waspmote Turbidity Sensor Pack

Turbidity is the haziness of a fluid caused by individual solid particles that are generally invisible to the naked eye. The measurement of turbidity is a key test of water quality. Nephelometers, or nephelometric turbidimeters, measure the light scattered at an angle of 90° by one detector from the incident light beam generated by an incandescent light bulb. Readings are reported in Nephelometric Turbidity Units, or NTUs. NTU has been the traditional reporting unit for turbidity and is still recognized by some as the “universal” unit of measure, regardless of the technology used.

You can calibrate this sensor using the Low and High Calibration Kits.

The measurement of the turbidity is important in the next scenarios:

•  Urban waste water treatment (inlet / outlet controls)
•  Sanitation network
•  Industrial effluent treatment
•  Surface water monitoring
•  Drinking water

This kit includes:
- Turbidity Sensor
- Waspmote board + miniUSB cable
- Special RS-485 module
- 1 Expansion Board
- Extra headers

NOTE: This sensor will only work using the Waspmote board included in the same kit.
