Turbidity Sensor Suspended Turbidity Value Detection Module Kit
Turbidity Sensor Suspended Turbidity Value Detection Module Kit
This turbidity sensor module measures suspended particles in liquids by detecting scattered light. It outputs an analog voltage inversely proportional to turbidity, making it suitable for water quality monitoring in washing machines, dishwashers, aquariums, and environmental projects. The kit includes a waterproof probe and a signal conditioning board for easy integration with microcontrollers.

Compatibility
This sensor works with any development board that has an analog input, such as Arduino Uno, ESP8266, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi (via external ADC). It operates on 5V logic, making it a direct fit for most Arduino projects. Common pairings include the Arduino Nano for compact builds or the NodeMCU for IoT applications.
Wiring Notes
Connect VCC to 5V, GND to ground, and the analog output (OUT) to an ADC pin. The output voltage drops as turbidity increases—clean water yields around 4.5V, while heavily turbid water gives near 0V. Calibration with a known standard (e.g., 0 NTU distilled water) is required for absolute measurements.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino?
Yes, it connects directly to any 5V Arduino board. Use an analog pin like A0 and read the voltage with analogRead().
How do I convert the analog reading to NTU?
The output is non-linear. You must calibrate the sensor using two reference samples (e.g., 0 NTU and a known turbidity standard) and fit a curve to map voltage to NTU values.
What maintenance does the probe require?
Keep the optical window clean; fouling will distort readings. Rinse with distilled water after use and avoid scratching the surface.
