Page 3: Specifications
Overview The Ares Turbidity Sensor features state-of-the art technology for measuring water clarity for environmental water quality monitoring, oceanographic research, marine operations and aquaculture monitoring. The Ares is based on the optical measurement principle, using ultrabright, energy-efficient infrared LEDs as an excitation source and detectors with filtering to measure the infrared light scattered by suspended particulate material in a water volume. -

Before each mating of the bulkhead connector, it should be greased with MolyKote 44 Medium. Calibration The Xeos Turbidity Sensor is currently only calibrated at the factory. User recalibration is not recommended at this time. Ares User Manual Version 1.0... - Page 5 Autogain works in one of two ways, depending on the sample interval. If the sample interval is ten seconds or longer, then for each sample the Ares first tries a measurement at high gain. If the sample is near saturation, then the Ares transmits a frame. If it is near saturation, the Ares immediately switches to low gain, repeats the sample, and then sends out the frame.
- Page 6 NTU output The number of seconds since power up is nominal - the Ares does not perform rigorous timekeeping. If timing is critical for an application, then the frame should be timestamped externally. The seconds value rolls over at 86400 (i.e. the number of seconds in 24 hours).
- Page 7 Mounting and Field-use Considerations The Ares is designed to be easy to use. Simply power it up and collect the output digital or analog signal. However, some considerations will ensure that the data is of the highest quality. These include sample volume, ambient light, bubbles, sediment, and biofouling.
