SWiFT SVPplus Turbidity

Valeport’s SWiFT SVPplus Multi-Parameter Profiler with a Turbidity sensor combines survey-grade sound speed, temperature and pressure sensor technology with Turbidity observations.

The package is completed with the convenience of Bluetooth® connectivity, rechargeable battery and an integral GNSS module to geo-locate each profile.

  • Multi-Parameter Profiler
    • CTD, Sound Speed, Salinity, Density
    • Up to 32Hz sampling rate
    • Dual Optical Backscatter (OBS) and Nephelometer Turbidity Sensor
  • Bluetooth and USB connectivity
  • Integral GNSS receiver for geo-location of profile and time synchronisation
  • Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery
  • Dedicated PC software and iOS portable device App

Valeport’s Turbidity technology is essentially two sensors in one. The first is a “classic” nephelometer, using a 90˚ beam angle for turbidity levels between 0 and 2,000 NTU. The second sensor uses Optical Backscatter (OBS) for turbidity levels up to 10,000 NTU. The sensors output data separately and simultaneously at a programmable rate. This means that there is no need to switch ranges as conditions vary. Intelligent sampling and the use of a 24 bit ADC eliminates the need to switch gain.
