For long-term deployments in sediment rich areas, a wiper option is now available. Tu•Xchange™ has proven to perform well long term when protected from marine growth by UV biofouling control.
Tu•Xchange™ accuracy is quoted as a percentage of reading. A sensor measuring 900 NTU is accurate to +/-18 NTU, while measuring 500 NTU it is accurate to +/- 10 NTU, based on its +/- 2% specification. As the measurement nears 0 NTU the accuracy specification also includes a floor. For example, the same sensor measuring at or below 1 NTU would have an error of +/- 0.2 NTU.
