Product Overview

The NiuBoL NBL-FUV-408 online full-spectrum multi-parameter sensor is designed based on the full-spectrum absorption method. It uses a xenon lamp as a wide-spectrum light source to emit light across near-ultraviolet to near-infrared bands. A miniature fiber optic spectrometer collects complete spectral information, and specific algorithms compensate for optical path attenuation, effectively eliminating interference from particulate suspended matter to achieve stable and reliable multi-parameter synchronous measurement.

The product requires no chemical reagents, is environmentally friendly, easy to install, and enables true online continuous monitoring. The sensor supports simultaneous output of multiple water quality parameters such as COD, BOD, TOC, chroma, turbidity, total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), nitrate, and nitrite, with small drift, fast response, and excellent long-term stability.

Adopting a digital sensor architecture with RS-485 interface and standard Modbus/RTU protocol, it is easy to seamlessly integrate with PLC, DCS, SCADA or IoT platforms. The low power consumption design combined with IP68 protection rating makes it particularly suitable for long-term submerged installation in various complex water environments, significantly reducing system construction and operation & maintenance costs.

NBL-FUV-408 Online Full-Spectrum Multi-Parameter Sensor Core Technical Advantages

• Full-Spectrum Optical System: Xenon lamp wide-spectrum light source paired with a miniature fiber optic spectrometer covers the full band from near-ultraviolet to near-infrared. Complete spectral data is collected in one acquisition, and multiple water quality parameters are inverted simultaneously through advanced spectral algorithms, avoiding data deviation between traditional discrete sensors.

• Intelligent Interference Compensation Algorithm: Built-in dedicated algorithm provides real-time compensation for optical path attenuation caused by turbidity and suspended particles, significantly improving measurement accuracy and stability in high-turbidity and complex matrix water bodies.

• Automatic Cleaning Function: Equipped with a mechanical cleaning brush, it effectively prevents biofilm and dirt from attaching to the measurement window, reduces manual intervention, and extends the maintenance-free cycle.

• Hardware Protection and Materials: The sensor housing uses 316L stainless steel with strong corrosion resistance; IP68 protection rating, working pressure<0.1MPa, suitable for long-term underwater immersion. The M16-5 core waterproof connector ensures reliable connection.

• Low Power Consumption and Anti-Interference Design: Power consumption is only 0.2W@12V. It uses 4-core twisted shielded cable and digital signal transmission, effectively resisting electromagnetic interference and ensuring signal stability in complex industrial sites.

• Easy Integration: Standard RS-485 Modbus/RTU protocol supports multi-node networking and remote configuration; spectral calibration is simple, and calibration parameters are stored inside the sensor for convenient on-site maintenance and replacement.

These technical features make the NBL-FUV-408 the core device for building large-scale water quality monitoring networks, reducing the number of parameter deployment points while ensuring data continuity and consistency.

Wiring and Installation Instructions

During installation, it is recommended to hang or fix the sensor in a place with steady water flow, submerged at least 30cm below the lowest water level to avoid air bubbles attaching to the measurement window. The sensor measurement area should face the water flow direction and be fixed horizontally and firmly. In areas with turbulent flow, additional reinforcement is required to prevent impact. It is recommended to add a protective sleeve outside the cable. The installation depth is generally not more than 2 meters.

Electrical Connection (4-core twisted shielded cable):

• Red wire → Power positive (12～24VDC)

• Black wire → Ground (GND)

• Blue wire → 485A

• White wire → 485B

Before powering on, please carefully check the wire sequence. All wiring points must undergo strict waterproof sealing treatment, and cables with certain corrosion resistance should be selected to adapt to long-term underwater or humid environments.
