KH.SZ-ZS Optical Turbidity Sensor
High-Precision Continuous Turbidity Monitoring with RS485 Modbus RTU and 60-Meter Submersible Design
Product Introduction
The KH.SZ-ZS Optical Turbidity Sensor is a high-precision online monitoring instrument based on the optical light scattering principle. When a light beam passes through the water sample, suspended particles scatter the light, and a photodetector positioned at 90 degrees captures the scattered light intensity. The sensor converts this signal into accurate turbidity values using internal calculation algorithms and signal processing.
Designed for continuous submersible operation, the KH.SZ-ZS delivers stable, real-time turbidity measurements under varying water conditions. Its rugged IP68-rated housing supports deployment at depths of up to 60 meters. RS485 Modbus RTU communication enables seamless integration with PLC, DCS, SCADA, and industrial IoT water quality monitoring systems.
