ZWQ-CHL1 Chlorophyll Sensor
ZWQ-CHL1
The ZWQ-CHL1 measures chlorophyll concentration from 0-500 µg with ±5% accuracy using optical fluorescence, and can also detect rhodamine as a secondary measurement. It has a removable self-cleaning brush and a 316L stainless steel shell, and reports over RS485 Modbus RTU. MetSensor UK supplies the ZWQ-CHL1 in the UK as part of the Zata IoT sensor range.
