Description
TS-1000A – Analogue Turbidity Sensor
Turbidity is an optical feature of a liquid and a measurement of its clarity, a turbidity sensor is used to measure clarity. Determining scattered light levels within a column of water indicates turbidity. It is an important measurement to take in assessing the quality of a body of water as both plant and animal growth depend on turbidity levels.

Greenspan TS-1000A: Australian Made
The Greenspan TS-1000A turbidity sensor is a low power unit and provides both 4-20mA and 0-2.5V outputs. The sensor features an integral wiper, providing long-term reliable operation at remote sites where bio-fouling or sedimentation is likely.
A durable acetal body and double O-ring design ensure suitability for harsh environment applications. The TS-1000A turbidity sensor can be supplied in various ranges and comes fitted with a molded polyurethane cable.
