TST-10

TST-10 is a turbidity sensor. It measures the turbidity (amount of suspended particles) of the wash water in washing machines and dishwashers. An optical sensor for washing machines is a measuring product for a turbid water density or an extraneous matter concentration using the refraction of wavelength between photo transistor and diode. By using an optical transistor and optical diodes, an optical washing machine sensor measures the amount of light coming from the source of the light to the light receiver, in order to calculate water turbidity. It is used in application like detecting the turbidity degree of water.
