The OBS-3+ Turbidity Monitor is a submersible probe, part of our OBSŪ line of products that use a backscatter method to measure turbidity. The OBS-3+ operates in the range of 0 to 4000 NTU. It replaces the OBS3 on our price lists. The OBS-3+ can be used in several applications, ranging from water quality in freshwater rivers and streams to sediment transport and dredge monitoring. The output for the OBS-3+ can be specified at time of order, allowing you to customize the sensor to match the datalogger being used to make the measurement. | |

The OBS-3A combines our OBSŪ 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 which pressure sensor is installed. The heart of the OBS-3A monitoring system is an optical backscatter sensor for measuring turbidity and suspended solids concentrations. This sensor detects near infrared (NIR) radiation scattered from suspended particles. | |

The OBS-5+ system, part of our OBSŪ line of products, monitors high sediment concentrations using an infrared laser and a proprietary dual photo-detection system (U.S. Patent No. 5,796,481). The probe transmits sediment concentration and depth to a PC via an RS-232 or RS-485 link. It can also record data internally. The OBS-5+ has a Windows GUI that enables the user to generate and store sediment calibration tables, program data logging and sampling schemes, and graphically display data. | |
