Turbidity Sensor Suspended Turbidity Value Detection Module Kit Liquid Suspended Particles Turbidity Detection for Arduino.

Product introduction:

The turbidity of water refers to the degree of turbidity caused by suspended substances such as silt, clay, organic matter, plankton and microorganisms contained in the water. Industrial-grade turbidity sensors or turbidity meters are expensive, and the cost is too high in the design of electronic products. Therefore, we have selected a turbidity sensor that is widely used in household appliances, washing machines, and dishwashers. The sensor uses optical principles to comprehensively judge the turbidity through the light transmittance and scattering rate in the solution. Inside the sensor is an infrared tube. When light passes through a certain amount of water, the amount of light transmission

depends on the degree of dirtiness of the water. The dirtier the water, the less light it transmits. Light

The receiving end converts the intensity of the transmitted light to the corresponding current size. The transmitted light is more and the current is larger. On the contrary, the transmitted light is less and the current is smaller.

The turbidity sensor module converts the current signal output by the sensor into a voltage signal, and performs AD conversion data processing through the single-chip microcomputer. The remodeling module has analog and digital output interfaces. The analog quantity can be sampled and processed by the single chip A/D converter to know the current water pollution. The digital value can be adjusted through the potentiometer on the module to adjust the trigger threshold. When the turbidity reaches the set threshold, the D1 indicator will be lit, the output of the sensor module changes from high level to low level, and the single chip monitors the change in level To determine whether the turbidity of the water exceeds the standard, so as to warn or link other equipment. The module is inexpensive, easy to use, and has high measurement accuracy

It can be used to measure the degree of water pollution of products such as washing machines and dishwashers; it can also be used in industrial field control, environmental sewage collection and other occasions that require turbidity detection and control.

Instructions

(1) Application circuit block diagram

The recommended application circuit block diagram is shown below.

(2) Standard curve and temperature calibration formula

The relationship between sensor module output voltage and turbidity is shown in the figure below.

The turbidity value and the module output voltage satisfy the following relationship:

TU = -865 .68xU+K

In the above formula, TU is the current turbidity value, U is the output voltage value of the module under the current temperature, and K is the cutoff

The distance value needs to be obtained by the calibration method.

The output voltage value of the sensor is affected by temperature. The relationship between the output voltage and the temperature curve is shown in the figure below.

Temperature compensation is required for turbidity measurement to ensure measurement accuracy.

Temperature correction formula:

The above formula    is the voltage difference caused by temperature change; T is the current measured temperature value.

(4) Calibration method

Due to individual differences in turbidity sensors, ambient light, or no temperature compensation. To get more refined

The exact turbidity value must be calibrated before measurement. The specific operation method is introduced as follows.

Step 1: Install the turbidity sensor to power the sensor module. Use 0NTU standard solution (Or close to 0NTU of purified water or distilled water) for calibration;

According to the above four turbidity solutions, the turbidity level is divided into four levels, the specific level is shown in the table below

	Note: The above grading method is only for illustration, the specific parameter grading threshold can be set according to specific needs (6) Using digital signals Select the contrast solution with a specific degree of turbidity, and adjust the potentiometer knob to the position where the D1 indicator just turns on (that is, the critical value of high and low levels) to complete the threshold setting. The DO port of the sensor module is connected to the I/O port of the single-chip microcomputer to judge the output signal or to connect an external drive circuit to drive other devices to operate. Precautions 1. The top of the turbidity sensor is not waterproof. It is forbidden to throw the turbidity sensor completely into the water when using it. The water surface must not cross the connection between the top cover and the housing. Ingress of water into the sensor will cause the sensor to burn out. 2. The wavelength range of light received by the sensor photodiode is (500~1050nm). The wavelength of sunlight or daylight light line will affect the reception of the sensor photoresistor and affect the measurement output. Direct sunlight or light will increase the measurement error of the sensor. When using the sensor, direct sunlight or light should be avoided. 3. The sensor head housing must be kept clean to avoid inaccurate measurement caused by contaminants. Reference circuit
