What is the Turbo Sensor?

 

Do

 handle the device with care.

Do

 store the device in a dry, inside area 

when not in use.

Do

 install a desiccant tube if using a 

gauge sensor.

Do

 install the device so that the connector 

end is kept dry.

Do

 install so wiper blade is free to move.

Don’t

 support the device with the 

connector. Use a strain relief 

device to take the tension off the 

connectors.

Don’t

 allow the device to free-fall down 

a well as impact damage can occur.

Don’t

 bang or drop the device on hard 

objects.

Don’t

 touch or bump the sensor “eye” or 

    wiper blade.

Initial Inspection and Handling

 

Upon receipt of your smart sensor, inspect the shipping package for damage. If any 

damage is apparent, note the signs of damage on the appropriate shipping form. After 

opening the carton, look for concealed damage, such as a cut cable. If concealed damage 

is found, immediately file a claim with the carrier.

Do’s and Don’ts

Seametrics’ Turbo Smart Sensor is an 

integrated datalogger and turbidity/

temperature sensor. This sensor networks 

with all of the Seametrics sensors. This 

industry standard digital RS485 interface 

device records over 250,000 records of 

turbidity, temperature, and time data, 

operates with low power, and features easy-

to-use software with powerful features.  
The unit is programmed using Seametrics’ 

easy-to-use Aqua4Plus control software. 

Once programmed the unit will measure 

and collect data on a variety of time 

intervals.  

The internal microprocessor runs on 12 

VDC and automatically turns the turbidity 

sensing  unit  on  and  off,  as  needed,  to 

conserve power. A built in wiper cleans the 

sensing eye each time power is applied to 

the sensing unit.
