Water Turbidity Detection Sensor Module

The TS-300B turbidity module is a sensor designed to measure the turbidity of liquids, primarily water. 

Here’s a breakdown of its key features and applications:

Core Function:

• Turbidity Measurement:

  • It gauges the level of suspended solids in a liquid, indicating its cloudiness or haziness.
  • This is achieved by using an optical principle, where the module measures how light is transmitted and scattered through the liquid.

• Compatibility:

  • Compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, PIC, 8051, ARM, AVR and other microcontrollers.

• Applications:

  • Water quality monitoring (e.g., in rivers, streams, wastewater).
  • Industrial process control.
  • Environmental monitoring.
  • Use in appliances like washing machines and dishwashers.
  • Implementing water quality monitoring in IOT projects.

Key Features:

• Dual Output:

  • Provides both analog and digital output signals, offering flexibility for interfacing with microcontrollers like Arduino.
  • The analog output delivers a voltage proportional to the turbidity level.
  • The digital output provides a high/low signal based on a user-adjustable turbidity threshold.

• Operating Specifications:

  • Typically operates at 5V DC.
  • Has a relatively low power consumption.
  • Offers a specified response time.
  • Operates within a certain temperature range.

• Principle of operation:

  • The device uses an infrared light emitter and a light detector. The amount of light that reaches the detector is affected by the amount of particles in the water. Therefore the ammount of light detected is converted into a voltage, that is then read by a microcontroller.

Important Considerations:

• Calibration is often recommended for accurate measurements.
• The module’s sensitivity can be affected by factors like ambient light and temperature.

In essence, the TS-300B turbidity module provides a cost-effective solution for measuring water clarity in various applications.
