Installation Turbimax CUE21 / CUE22 3.4.4 Plumbing Note! • The instrument requires a very low head pressure to operate, approx. 0.069 bar (1 psi.) • The pressure regulator is rated for a max. pressure of 13.8 bar (200 psi) • The minimum flow rate for the flow through cuvette is 100 ml/min to 1 l/min (0.026 to 0.26 gal/min).
Turbimax CUE21 / CUE22 Installation Post-installation check • After installation, check the instrument for damage. • Make sure that all connections are fitted tightly and are leakage resistant. • Ensure that the tubing cannot be removed without effort. • Check all tubes for damage.
Wiring Turbimax CUE21 / CUE22 Wiring Electrical connection Warning! • The electrical connection must only be carried out by authorised technical personnel. • Technical personnel must have read and understood the instructions in this manual and must adhere to them.
Turbimax CUE21 / CUE22 Wiring 4.1.2 Connecting the RS-485 cable The RS-485 half-duplex (2-wire) digital interface operates with differential levels that are not susceptible to electrical interferences. This is why cable lengths up to 914 m / 3000 ft can be implemented.

Page 25
To achieve greatest accuracy and account for normal scratches and aberrations in cuvette glass when calibrating, we recommend indexing the cuvettes. Standards and standard kits purchased from Endress+Hauser are supplied with indexing rings. The following steps allow repeatable indexing of calibration standards: Shut off the flow using the provided shutoff clamp.
