OBS-3A Turbidity and Temperature Monitoring System
Services Available
Repair No
Calibration No
Free Support Yes

概要

The OBS-3A combines our OBS probe with pressure, temperature, and conductivity sensors in a battery-powered recording instrument. Batteries and electronics are contained in a housing capable of operating at depths of up to 300 meters—depending on the pressure sensor installed. (OBS® is a registered trademark of Campbell Scientific.)

詳細

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 gage, 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.)

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