  • Page 3: Overview

    Overview The CyberScan IR TB100 turbidimeter allows you to measure turbidity in the field. This instrument was designed to meet the design criteria specified in ISO 7027 and DIN 27027 for measurement of the turbidity of a sample. Unpacking and Inspection of the Instrument and...
  • Page 4: The Display

    Figure 1 – top view of instrument The Display All of the items that can appear on the display are shown in Figure 2. The display is used for reporting the turbidity levels and to provide user guidance in the customer setting routine. In addition, the display also has several other blocks that are used to communicate error messages and provide user guidance.
  • Page 5: The Instrument And Touch Pad

    The Instrument and Touch Pad ↵ ↵ The keypad has five buttons: ON/OFF, CAL, s, t, and . The ON/OFF button is used to turn the instrument on and off. The CAL button, when ↵ ↵ pressed, initiates the calibration mode of the instrument. The button, when pressed, indicates to the instrument that it should take a reading.

    (refer to section 5.2). Routine Measurement The CyberScan IR TB100 measures and reports the turbidity of a sample in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU’s). Note: Nephelometric turbidity units (NTU’s) are numerically equivalent to Formazin turbidity units (FTU’s) (See Glossary).
  • Page 7: Instrument Calibration

    Instrument Calibration The CyberScan IR TB100 was calibrated and tested prior to leaving the factory. Therefore, it is possible to use the instrument directly out of the box. However, re-calibration of the instrument is recommended to help you become familiar with the operation of the instrument and the calibration procedures.
  • Page 8: Calibration Standards

    Calibration Standards We recommend that you use the following materials during calibration to achieve the accuracy stated in this manual: 1. CAL 1: 1000 NTU Calibration Standard 2. CAL 2: 100 NTU Calibration Standard 3. CAL 3: 10.0 NTU Calibration Standard 4.
