概要

The OBS300 is a submersible turbidity probe that has downward-facing optics. It uses OBS technology to measure suspended solids and turbidity for applications ranging from water quality in freshwater rivers and streams to sediment transport and dredge monitoring. Campbell Scientific data loggers measure the OBS300 probe's output and calculate turbidity.

イメージ

詳細

The OBS300 uses its downward-facing optics to emit a near-infrared light into the water. It then measures the light that bounces back from the water’s suspended particles.

If an obstruction is in the emitted light’s range, the light will scatter back and the turbidity reading will be too high. This probe's downward-facing optics avoid obstructions around the sides of the probe. The OBS-3+ is available for locations that have obstructions above and below the probe.

よくある質問

OBS300に関するよくある質問の数： 16

すべて展開すべて折りたたむ

  1. How is an OBS300 sensor secured?

    Typically, users use a clamp (a hose clamp, for example) to fasten the sensor to a permanent structure in the water so that the optics are orientated toward the open water.

  2. Can the OBS300 withstand dry weather conditions and work properly if it is not submerged in water all the time?

    Yes. The OBS300 is not harmed by being dry. The optics, however, need to be cleaned of any dust or contamination before the measurements are resumed.

  3. Is it possible to operate an OBS-3+ or OBS300 onboard a vessel while the vessel is in motion?

    This has not been tested; however, it is likely that, as the sensor moves through the water, disturbances or bubbles are created that could distort the turbidity measurements.

  4. What size is the arc that the OBS-3+ or OBS300 measures?

    The beam divergence angle of the sensor is 42°. (Within this 42° cone, 95% of the beam power is contained.)

  5. Are data from the OBS-3A comparable with data from the OBS-3+ or OBS300?

    These devices employ optical backscatter to measure light absorption and should produce comparable data, but variation is likely between sensors.

  6. What is the accuracy and deviation from actual NTU in the low range for the OBS-3+ or OBS300?

    The accuracy is 0.5 NTU or 2% of reading.

  7. What type of maintenance is needed for the OBS-3+ or OBS300?

    The following are some suggestions:

    • Keep the optics clean.
    • Site-specific field calibration may be necessary for the best performance. 
    • Prevent the sensor from freezing.
  8. Is it possible to adjust an OBS-3+ or OBS300 for measurements up to 4,000 NTUs?

    Sensors are calibrated at the factory for measurements up to 4,000 NTUs, if requested at the time of order. Sensor ranges cannot be adjusted outside the factory.

  9. What is the difference between the OBS-3+ and the OBS300?

    The OBS-3+ and the OBS300 are essentially the same sensor but with differing optic placement. The OBS-3+ has sideways-facing optics, whereas the OBS300 has downward-facing optics.

  10. What type of handheld display can be used with the OBS-3+ or OBS300?

    Campbell Scientific does not offer a display that can be attached directly to the sensor; however, the data logger used to capture and record the data may have a display.
