Hyperion Turbidity Sensor
Hyperion Turbidity is a compact standalone environmental sensor that delivers high-performance measurements of turbidity, combining a nephelometer with a 90° beam angle for low turbidity levels and an Optical Backscatter (OBS) arrangement for higher levels. Housed in a robust titanium enclosure rated for depths to 6000 metres, it is ideal for integration into deep-sea ROVs and AUVs.
The sensor features a wide range isolated power supply accepting 9-30V DC, and can output data via RS232, RS485 and Modbus at rates of up to 16 Hz.
