TSS Analyzer

TSS (Total Suspended Solids) sensors work by measuring the interaction of light with suspended particles in a water sample. When a light beam is passed through the water, suspended solids scatter the light. The sensor detects the intensity of this scattered light and uses it to calculate the concentration of suspended solids in the water.

The AIDSS 450 & 451 sensor adopts 135 ° back light principle, 880nm infrared LED light source and unique adaptive software algorithm, which can effectively remove the interference of external light. Optical fiber structure, with excellent repeatability and stability. With the help of the automatic cleaning brush, the bubble can be eliminated, the influence of contamination on the measurement can be reduced, the maintenance cycle is longer, and the long-term online use can also maintain excellent stability.

  • Digital sensor, RS-485 output, support MODBUS
  • With automatic cleaning brush to prevent contamination and eliminate air bubbles
  • Compensate for water color to eliminate interference with color measurement
  • Fiber-optic structure, independent of ambient light
