    Operations 4.5 Sensor Setup Menu (continued) CONFIGURE EDIT NAME Enter up to a 10-digit name in any combination of symbols and alpha or numeric characters. This setting configures the Solitax to measure turbidity or suspended solids. The Solitax cannot simultaneously measure both. Choose “TRB” for turbidity measurements, or “TS” for suspended SET PARAMETER solids measurement.

    Operations 4.6.1 Setting the Outmode 1. From the Main Menu, select SENSOR SETUP and press confirm. 2. Select the appropriate sensor if more than one is attached and confirm. 3. Select CALIBRATE and press confirm. 4. Select SET OUTMODE. Select the available Out Mode (Active, Hold, Transfer) and confirm.
  • Page 18: Calibration For Suspended Solids

    Operations 4.6.3 Calibration for Suspended Solids Suspended solids calibration requires calibration to the actual sample. This optimizes the compensation for the particle size and shape typical at a measuring site. It is best performed by mounting the sensor as usual for normal measurement, and then grab samples collected and evaluated by laboratory methods.
