Turbi-Techw² LR Sensors
Self Cleaning Sensor for Turbidity Monitoring

The TurbiTechw² LR Sensor has been specifically designed to monitor final treated, portable and filter water. The sensor is extremely sensitive and is capable of discriminating
changes in Turbidity of less than 0.1 FTU. The 90º light scatter monitoring technique makes the sensor sensitive to a wide range of particle sizes, from colloidal material
through to larger particles and raw waters and the large mineral particles sometimes found in distribution samples.
The TurbiTechw² LR Sensor complies with the internationally recognised ISO7027 standard for Turbidity measurement. The unique sensor design captures stray light
which ensures an ultra stable zero point, this is combined with an automatic self-cleaning mechanism that prevent the build up of fouling within the sample chamber.
The measurement system includes a self monitoring loop that compensates for changes in optical performance.

The sensor requires very little maintenance, with no special tools or training required. Calibration can be carried out against either a wet Turbidity standard or using the dry calibration reference cell that is supplied with every sensor. The reference cell provide an extremely easy, repeatable method of checking the performance of the sensor without the cost and inherent errors associated with chemical standards.
