The power box includes (8) user-replaceable AA batteries and two ports: one for the sensor connection and the other for the USB connection. The sensor and USB cable have weather-resistant connectors compatible with the ports on the auxiliary power box so that they can be used in the field or the laboratory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once connected to the power box, the user can communicate with the sensor using the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seametrics.com\/blog\/aqua4plus-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aqua4Plus software<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The main screen in the software shows the available memory and any data files recorded by the sensor. These files can be downloaded for review or further analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Real-time data can also be viewed in both tabular or graphical form for spot-sampling or checking data accuracy. For unattended logging, the recording interval and duration of the overall deployment can be configured.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Deployment<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For internal logging, the user can set and save a deployment template. The deployment template details the interval between each reading and the overall duration of the deployment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To conserve battery life, the logger can be powered continuously or only when taking a reading. Additionally, the deployment can be split into phases with differing logging intervals and durations. For instance, the first phase can log readings every 15 minutes for 5 days, and the second phase can log readings every 10 minutes for 3 days. This feature is handy for projects that have changing monitoring needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once a deployment template is set, the user can deploy the auxiliary power box and sensor. The power box is lightweight and only requires a few bolts to mount onto a nearby pole or other mounting apparatus. The sensor can then be lowered to the desired depth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Periodically, during the deployment, the user can connect to the communications port and download the logged data. At this time, the battery power can be reviewed to see if the (8) AA batteries require replacement. The battery replacement is easy and similar to replacing batteries in any small electrical device.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sensor also has multiple communication protocols (SDI-12 or Modbus RS485) to connect with external data loggers and telemetry systems. Instead of periodically visiting the site to download data, these telemetry systems can gather and transmit data from the sensor in real time to a web-based data portal. Real-time data is crucial for compliance projects to ensure production is halted when turbidity levels reach a specific threshold.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_38334\" style=\"width: 950px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38334\" class=\"wp-image-38334 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/SeametricsTurbidity_2.jpg\" alt=\"A Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger is mounted on an instrument cage for deployment in the Environmental Field Station pond.\" width=\"940\" height=\"627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/SeametricsTurbidity_2.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/SeametricsTurbidity_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/SeametricsTurbidity_2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/SeametricsTurbidity_2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-38334\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">A Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger is mounted on an instrument cage for deployment in the Environmental Field Station pond.

Government officials, researchers, and contractors monitor turbidity to know when and how to act when changes occur, whether naturally or by human means. These professionals use real-time or stand-alone turbidity monitoring equipment to comply with laws and guidelines regulating turbidity levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger can be used in these applications for spot sampling, long-term internal logging, or real-time monitoring with a telemetry system. For instance, loggers can be deployed upstream and downstream of a construction project to ensure turbidity measurements do not exceed a threshold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stand-alone or real-time systems can be deployed at multiple locations along a river to gather baseline turbidity levels or monitor seasonal fluctuations. The versatility of the Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger, along with its rugged design, including a wiper, makes it suitable for nearly all turbidity monitoring applications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_38352\" style=\"width: 950px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38352\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/SeametricsTurbidity_6.jpg\" alt=\"A NexSens Data Buoy is prepared for deployment with a Seamtrics Turbo Turbidity Logger, a YSI EXO3s Sonde, and a NexSens TS210 Thermistor String. \" width=\"940\" height=\"627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/SeametricsTurbidity_6.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/SeametricsTurbidity_6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/SeametricsTurbidity_6-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/SeametricsTurbidity_6-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-38352\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">A NexSens Data Buoy is prepared for deployment with a Seamtrics Turbo Turbidity Logger, a YSI EXO3s Sonde, and a NexSens TS210 Thermistor String. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">(Credit: Emma Jones \/ Fondriest Environmental)<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Fondriest Environmental Field Testing Analysis<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fondriest Environmental scientists wanted to test the accuracy and durability of the Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger, so they took it to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/field-station\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fondriest Environmental Field Station<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They first deployed the logger as a stand-alone unit at the field station and had the device internally log the temperature and turbidity measurements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deploying the system was straightforward and required minimal tools and time. The auxiliary power box was installed on a steel arm near the land-based system at the field station, allowing easy access to download data from the logger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the deployment, biofouling accumulated on the sides of the turbidity sensor; however, the wiper kept the optics clean of any biofouling or debris. Throughout multiple months of deployment, the (8) AA batteries did not need to be replaced, and the weather-proof box kept the interior dry. Overall, the system required little maintenance and appeared built to handle rough conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the initial testing as a stand-alone unit, the sensor was integrated with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexsens.com\/products\/data-loggers\/x3-environmental-data-logger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NexSens X-Series data logger<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to capture real-time data and test in comparison with an industry-standard YSI EXO3s sonde.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sensor was set to output via SDI-12 using the Aqua4Plus software. A waterproof connector, compatible with the NexSens data logger, was installed. The EXO3s sonde and Turbo logger were then strapped to the buoy\u2019s instrument cage at the same depth and deployed in the middle of a pond.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hourly readings were gathered from both sensors and sent to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexsens.com\/products\/software\/web-datacenter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WQData LIVE Web Datacenter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in real-time. Weekly data reports were downloaded and analyzed to compare the accuracy of the sensors and determine whether they needed cleaning or recalibration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scientists concluded that both sensors performed comparably after multiple months of deployment, and the built-in wiper is a crucial feature of any long-term turbidity monitoring. Overall, the Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger, as a stand-alone or on a real-time system, was easy to work with and produced accurate temperature and turbidity data while enduring long-term deployments with ease.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_38353\" style=\"width: 950px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38353\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38353\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Buoy_5.jpg\" alt=\"A NexSens Data Buoy collects and transmits real-time turbidity readings from the Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger in the Environmental Field Station pond. \" width=\"940\" height=\"627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Buoy_5.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Buoy_5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Buoy_5-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Buoy_5-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-38353\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">A NexSens Data Buoy collects and transmits real-time turbidity readings from the Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger in the Environmental Field Station pond.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger is a self-cleaning turbidity sensor capable of internally logging over 260,000 data records.
