ZWQ-TP1 Water Transparency Sensor
ZWQ-TP1
The ZWQ-TP1 measures water transparency from 2-1000 cm using near infrared absorption spectrometry, with ±5% accuracy and automatic range switching based on water body type. It has a self-cleaning function and a 316L stainless steel shell, and reports over RS485 Modbus RTU. MetSensor UK supplies the ZWQ-TP1 in the UK as part of the Zata IoT sensor range.
