    Turbidity Plus Sensor 1. Introduction 1.1 Description Turbidity Plus is an accurate single-channel turbidity sensor including an integrated wiper which is triggered by the user. It is designed for integration into systems from which it receives power and the wiper trigger. Turbidity Plus delivers a voltage output proportional to the turbidity of the sample which can be correlated to concentration values by calibrating with a standard of known concentration.
