ATS11 Online Turbidity and MLSS Sensor
The ARTang ATS11 is an industrial online optical sensor designed for continuous measurement of turbidity or sludge concentration in water and wastewater processes. It uses a combined infrared absorption and scattered-light method and transmits measurement data through an RS485 digital interface.
The ARTang ATS11 supports submerged installation in tanks, channels and suitable process assemblies.
- Turbidity range: 0.1–4000 NTU
- Sludge concentration/MLSS range: 1–50,000 mg/L
- Turbidity accuracy: ±2% of reading or ±0.5 NTU, whichever is greater
- RS485 digital communication
- Main materials: 316L and PVC body, FKM O-ring and PUR cable
Product Description
The ATS11 online turbidity and MLSS sensor is developed for wastewater-treatment and industrial water applications. The sensor combines the optical measuring element, signal processing and RS485 communication in a compact submersible assembly.
In turbidity mode, the sensor reports the optical effect of suspended particles in NTU. In sludge-concentration mode, it reports an application-calibrated solids concentration in mg/L.
The ATS11 supports one-point and multipoint calibration. The sensor can communicate with compatible PLCs, HMIs, data loggers and water-quality control systems via the RS485 interface.
Infrared optical measurement of turbidity and sludge concentration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Simultaneous dual-mode output is not specified in the supplied technical data. Treat the ATS11 as a sensor configured for one measurement mode at a time unless ARTang confirms simultaneous operation.
It provides continuous optical process measurement and trending. Laboratory samples remain important for commissioning, calibration verification and applications that require gravimetric reporting.
The interval depends on sludge, grease, biological growth, minerals and the required measurement confidence. Establish the interval by inspecting buildup and tracking how much the reading changes after cleaning.
Request a Quote and Application Review
Need an ATS11 quotation or confirmation for a turbidity, TSS/SS or MLSS application? Send ARTang the measurement mode, expected range, liquid and sludge characteristics, temperature, pressure, flow conditions, installation method, cable length and control-system information.
ARTang will help review the sensor range, material compatibility, mounting arrangement, calibration method and RS485 integration before quotation.
