It outputs both chlorophyll and relative fluorescence intensity data, so readings can be analysed against real-world water conditions.Communication is via RS485 using the standard ModBus-RTU protocol, with tutorials provided for connecting to Arduino development boards and DFRobot LoRaWAN systems. A built-in temperature sensor provides automatic temperature compensation, and the sensor is factory calibrated so it is ready to use without further calibration.Included in the box is the RS485 Water Quality Chlorophyll Sensor x1 and 5m sensor cable x1.Features:Measurement range: 0~400 μg/LResolution: 0.1 μg/LAccuracy: ±5% FSIntegrated design: Integrated probe housing designWaterproof rating: up to IP68Measurement principle: Fluorescence principle with filtering algorithmLight interference resistance: Strong resistance to external light interferenceBuilt-in temperature sensor: Built-in temperature sensorTemperature compensation: Automatic temperature compensation to ensure measurement accuracyCommunication interface: RS485 communication interfaceProtocol support: supports ModBus-RTU protocolSpecifications:Power Supply Voltage: 10~30V DCPower Consumption: 0.4WCommunication Interface: RS485 (Standard ModBus-RTU protocol)Measurement Range - Chlorophyll: 0~400 μg/LMeasurement Range - Fluorescence Intensity: 0~100 RFUMeasurement Range - Temperature: 0°C~+60°CMeasurement Accuracy - Chlorophyll: ±5%FS (25℃)Measurement Accuracy - Fluorescence Intensity: ±5%FS (25℃)Measurement Accuracy - Temperature: ±0.5°CResolution - Chlorophyll: 0.1 μg/LResolution - Fluorescence Intensity: 0.1 RFUResolution - Temperature: 0.1°CTemperature Compensation Range: 0°C~+60°CResponse Time: ≤30SOperating Temperature: 0°C~+40°CMeasurement Principle: Fluorescence methodWaterproof Rating: IP68Pressure Resistance: 0.6MPaCable Length: 5mHousing Material: Corrosion-resistant plasticSuitable for algae bloom early warning, aquaculture pond monitoring, university field labs and long-term watershed research where RS485 data collection is required. **Product Type:** Water Quality Sensor ## Images - [Image 1](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDu0sBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--7ea2fd21af392d47cc0ec23776e4be56604c0eff/SEN0713_Main_01.jpg) - [Image 2](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDwUsBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--8f5c90c98c1d743bab9e08e4f55b12ef2e863b8b/SEN0713_Dim_02.jpg) - [Image 3](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDyEsBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--b5d5d29f1843cc6d611ca8b976a6b5a21a5c26b8/SEN0713_Detail_04.jpg) - [Image 4](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDzksBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--9a7f774593ea7fbb6eba5c17b665811d9d637151/SEN0713_ShipList_05.jpg) - [Image 5](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkD0UsBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--78ab082a82c14db72f7bd183a2f7888d1d8c71df/SEN0713_Detail_05.jpg) --- ## Finding & Searching Products If a part listed here isn't quite what you need, you can search Little Bird Electronics' full catalogue: - **Search by keyword:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={search_term}` — searches title, vendor, SKU, tags, and MPN - **Search via JSON:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.json?q={search_term}` — structured JSON results - **Browse by collection:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/collections/{handle}.json` — products in a specific collection - **Filter in-stock only:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={term}&in_stock=1` - **Individual product detail:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/{handle}.md` — full specs, pricing, stock levels, variants Search supports multi-word queries (AND logic).
