MIK-PTU-8010 Turbidity Sensor

The MIK-PTU-8010 Turbidity Sensor employs infrared scattered light technology to measure suspended particles in water. By analyzing the intensity of light scattered at a 90° angle, it provides accurate turbidity readings from 0.01 NTU to 3000 NTU, making it ideal for real-time monitoring in water treatment, wastewater management, and industrial processes.

Key Features:

Advanced dual-beam infrared detection for stable, repeatable results
Integrated self-cleaning function reduces maintenance needs
Self-diagnosis capability for proactive system monitoring
High anti-interference design with long-distance signal transmission
Plug-and-play installation with standard digital output (RS485/Modbus)

Applications include:

Water treatment plants (inlet, sedimentation tanks)
Wastewater treatment facilities
Industrial process water monitoring
Aquaculture systems for water quality control

*Available in stainless steel or titanium housing for harsh environments. Custom cable lengths up to 100m ensure flexibility for diverse installations.

1. What is the MIK-PTU-8010 turbidity sensor?

The MIK-PTU-8010 is a digital online turbidity sensor using dual-beam infrared scattered light technology. It measures from 0.01 to 3000 NTU, has a built-in self-diagnosis system and a standard RS485 (Modbus) output, and can be networked without a separate controller.

2. How does the MIK-PTU-8010 measure turbidity?

It uses infrared scattered light technology: infrared light is directed into the water, and the intensity of light scattered at a 90° angle by suspended particles is analyzed to determine turbidity. The dual-beam design improves stability and repeatability.

3. What is the measuring range?

The measuring range is 0.01–3000 NTU, which covers applications from treated water to wastewater and industrial process water.

4. What output does it provide?

It provides a standard digital output (RS485 / Modbus) with high anti-interference capability and support for long-distance signal transmission. Plug-and-play installation makes integration into PLCs, SCADA systems and IoT networks easy.

5. Does it have self-cleaning?

The MIK-PTU-8010 is designed with a self-cleaning function to reduce maintenance. An electrode scraper is available as an option (the standard version is supplied without it). Please tell us your water conditions so we can recommend the right configuration.

6. Does it have self-diagnosis?

Yes. The built-in self-diagnosis system provides proactive system monitoring and enhances measurement reliability.

7. What shell materials are available?

Stainless steel and titanium shells are available. Titanium is generally chosen for harsh or corrosive environments such as seawater.

8. What pressure and temperature can it withstand?

Pressure rating: 0.4 MPa
Operating temperature: 0–45 °C

9. What is the thread type?

The sensor uses an R1 thread for installation.

10. What cable length is available?

A 10 m cable is standard, and custom lengths up to 100 m are available.

11. What power supply does it need?

Please contact us for the power supply requirement and Modbus communication settings of the MIK-PTU-8010.

12. Where is the MIK-PTU-8010 used?

Water treatment plants (inlet and sedimentation tanks)
Wastewater treatment facilities
Industrial process water monitoring
Aquaculture systems for water quality control

13. What can the MIK-PTU-8010 be connected to?

It can be connected directly to any Modbus master. For local display and relay outputs, it can be used with the MIK-DC2000 turbidity transmitter; please confirm compatibility with us.

14. How should the sensor be installed?

Install the sensor in a representative, well-mixed location.
Avoid positions with heavy air bubbles and direct sunlight on the optical window.
Keep the optical window away from tank walls and the bottom to avoid reflections.
Use a mounting bracket and make sure the sensor can be removed for inspection.

15. How is the sensor calibrated and maintained?

Turbidity sensors are generally calibrated with formazin standards or checked with secondary standards. The self-cleaning function reduces manual cleaning; periodically inspect the optical window and verify the reading.

16. How is the MIK-PTU-8010 different from other Asmik turbidity products?

MIK-PTU-8010: digital immersion sensor; 0.01–3000 NTU; self-cleaning; stainless steel or titanium.
MIK-PTU8012: flow-through low turbidity sensor; 0.01–100 NTU.
MIK-PTU200: complete turbidity meter with display, three 4–20 mA outputs and three relays.
MIK-PSS9010: digital sensor for suspended solids (20–30,000 mg/L).
