OBS-3A Turbidity and Temperature Monitoring System
Introduction: OBS-3A turbidity and temperature monitoring system uses OBS (Optical backscatter point sensor) technology to integrate turbidity, pressure, and conductivity sensor probes into a complete battery-powered monitoring system. The battery and electronic equipment are placed in a sealed container with a maximum working depth of 300 meters. OBS-3A is a turbidity monitoring system with comprehensive functions, high reliability and easy to use.
The core of the OBS-3A monitoring system is an OBS® sensor for measuring turbidity and suspended solids concentration. The sensor works by emitting near infrared light into the water and then receiving the light reflected back by suspended particles.
OBS-3A measures temperature with a fast-response stainless steel thermal probe, measures pressure through changes in semiconductor resistance, and uses a four-electrode conduction unit to measure conductivity.
The monitoring system can work independently and be directly connected to the computer, and the accompanying operating software can be used in Windows98, 2000 and XP environments.
