Gravity: Analog Turbidity Sensor for Arduino SEN0189
The Gravity: Analog Turbidity Sensor for Arduino (SEN0189) is a high-performance sensor designed to detect water turbidity by measuring light transmittance and scattering caused by suspended particles in water. As the concentration of total suspended solids (TSS) increases, the turbidity level rises—allowing this sensor to provide real-time feedback on water quality.
This sensor supports both analog and digital output modes, giving users flexibility based on microcontroller compatibility. With an adjustable threshold in digital mode, it is ideal for a wide range of Arduino-based water monitoring projects.
Key Features
-
Dual output modes: Analog (0–4.5V) and Digital (High/Low)
-
Adjustable threshold in digital mode via onboard potentiometer
-
Fast response time: Less than 500ms
-
Detects TSS-based turbidity using light scattering and transmittance
-
Compatible with Arduino and Gravity IO Expansion Shields
-
Easy to integrate into automated water quality monitoring systems
Applications
-
River and stream water quality monitoring
-
Wastewater and effluent analysis
-
Sediment transport research
-
Aquaculture and water purification systems
-
Laboratory liquid experiments
Note: The top of the sensor probe is not waterproof—avoid submersion of the entire probe.
