Water Transparency Sensor

Digital water transparency sensor using infrared absorption and scattering, with 2–100 cm range, RS485 Modbus, IP68 protection and optional automatic cleaning.

Water Transparency Sensor

HydroMetric digital transparency sensor for continuous in-situ water clarity monitoring. The sensor combines infrared absorption and scattering measurement to convert the received optical signal into a transparency value for long-term online monitoring.

Applications

Designed for continuous transparency monitoring in surface water, urban rivers, lakes, reservoirs and aquaculture. Transparency is also a useful indicator for monitoring black and odorous water bodies and changes in suspended or colored material.

Installation & Integration

The digital RS485 interface supports direct system integration. For project selection, provide the expected transparency range, water-body type, flow conditions, mounting depth, cable length and whether automatic cleaning is required.
