The TL-COL-206 measures water colour and turbidity simultaneously using optical absorption. Suitable for drinking water quality monitoring, paper/pulp effluent, and textile wastewater colour compliance.
Working Principle
Optical sensors use light-based measurement principles that eliminate the need for consumable reagents or electrolytes. Fluorescence optical DO sensors excite a luminophore coating with blue LED light; the returned red fluorescence signal is inversely proportional to dissolved oxygen concentration. Turbidity sensors transmit near-infrared light through the sample and measure the scattered light at 90°; the scatter intensity is proportional to suspended solids concentration. These principles provide stable, drift-free measurements with minimal maintenance requirements.
