Technische Beschreibung

The heart of the OBS-3A monitoring system is an OBS sensor for measuring turbidity and suspended solids concentrations. This sensor detects near infrared (NIR) radiation scattered from suspended particles.

A fast-response, stainless steel-clad thermistor monitors temperature. Pressure is measured with a semiconductor piezoresistive strain gauge, and conductivity is measured with a four-electrode conduction-type cell. Working depths of the pressure sensor are selected as an option. (See the Ordering Info on the web page.)

The monitor uses HydroSci software running under Windows XP, 7, and 8.
