Liquid Suspended Particles Turbidity Sensor Detection Module Kit

Input and Output

• Input: Senses turbidity by detecting the scattering of light through a liquid sample.
• Output: Provides an analog signal proportional to the turbidity level, and an optional digital output for threshold detection.

Physical Characteristics

• Dimensions: Small, typically around 3 cm x 2 cm for the sensor module.
• Material: Plastic casing with optical sensor components inside.
• Weight: Lightweight and easy to install in various setups.

Technical Specifications

• Detection Range: 0 to 4000 NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units).
• Accuracy: ±5% FS (Full Scale).
• Response Time: Rapid response to changes in turbidity levels.

Additional Features

• Waterproof Sensor Head: The sensor head can be submerged in water for direct measurement.
• Easy Calibration: Comes with a simple calibration process using clear and turbid water samples.

How to Use

1. Connect the Sensor: Attach the VCC pin to 5V, GND to ground, and A0 to an analog input on your microcontroller. Optionally, connect D0 for digital threshold output.
2. Submerge the Sensor: Place the sensor head into the liquid you want to measure, ensuring it is fully submerged.
3. Read the Data: Use the analog output to get a reading of the turbidity level. The output signal decreases as the turbidity increases.
4. Calibrate if Necessary: Use clear water for a low reading and a turbid solution for a high reading to calibrate the sensor.
5. Interpret and Use the Data: The analog reading can be used to monitor water quality, control filtration systems, or trigger alerts when turbidity exceeds a certain level.

This turbidity sensor module is an essential tool for applications requiring accurate measurement of liquid clarity, ensuring water quality and safety.
