    Remove the instrument from the packing carton. Carefully inspect all items to ensure that no visible damage has occurred during shipment. If the items received do not match the order, please immediately contact the local distributor or the HF scientific, inc. Customer Service department.
  • Page 10: The Touch Pad

    LCD display will show DESC on the lower line in the event that the desiccant pouch needs replacement. Replacement desiccant pouches are available from HF scientific, inc. or the local representative (Part # 21555R). Refer to section 10.2 Replacing or installing the Desiccant Pouch.
  • Page 11: Installation And Commissioning

    Installation and Commissioning Prior to use for the first time, the supplied desiccant pouch will need to be installed. Refer to section 10.2 Replacing or Installing the Desiccant Pouch. 3.1 Mounting & Site Selection The instrument is designed for wall mounting. If wall mounting is not practical, the instrument can be mounted on any suitable level surface.
  • Page 12: Plumbing

    3.2 Plumbing The recommended plumbing for the instrument is shown in Figure 4. The instrument is designed to require very little head pressure to operate; around 6.9kPa (1 PSI). The flow through cuvette is rated for a flow of 100ml/min. – 1 liter/min. (0.026-0.26Gal/min). The integral pressure regulator is rated for a maximum pressure of 1380 kPa (200 PSI.).
  • Page 13: Drain Vent

    The sensor drain tubing should be routed to a suitable drain. It is not recommended to reintroduce the drain sample to the process stream. 3.2.2 Wetted Materials: HF scientific inc. accepts no responsibility for damage caused by the introduction of vapors, fluids or other materials into the instrument process stream which is not compatible with the instrument’s wetted materials.
  • Page 14: Power

    Figure 5: Electrical Connections for the Instrument 3.3.1 Power: The instrument is equipped with a 100-240 VAC, 47-63 Hz switching power supply; please verify that the line voltage falls within these specifications. It is recommended that a circuit breaker be placed prior to the power connection to allow for service.
  • Page 15: Operation

    Operation This process turbidimeter allows for the measurement of the turbidity of process water on- line. The turbidity of the process water is usually reported in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU), but may be reported in Formazin Nephelometric Units (FNU). Readings above 1000 NTU (100 for models 20055 &...

  • Page 17: Instrument Calibration

    Formazin is used to achieve the accuracy quoted for the instrument. A Formazin Stock Solution Kit is available from HF scientific, inc. (Catalog No. 50040). The HF scientific, inc. , primary calibration standards (refer to section 11.0 Accessories and Replacement Parts List) are more stable...
  • Page 18: Calibration Procedures

    5.2 Calibration Procedures 1. Select the calibration function of the instrument by pressing the MODE/EXIT button once. The arrow beside CAL will be illuminated on the display. The lower display shows alternating 1000 (the value of the standard that is requested) and ↵. The upper display shows the real-time reading to allow the standard to be indexed.
  • Page 19: Calibration Error

    12. Insert the requested 0.02 NTU standard. Index the standard to the lowest value on the upper display. 13. Press the ↵ button to accept the calibration. 14. The lower display will count down the progress of the calibration step. 15.
  • Page 20: Instrument Offset

    2. Take the grab sample and measure its turbidity using a laboratory turbidimeter (contact the HF scientific, inc. customer services department for examples of laboratory turbidimeters). 3. Compare the turbidity reported by the instrument to that obtained in the laboratory. If the readings are very close, then no offset adjustment or calibration is required and the procedure may be stopped at this step.
  • Page 21: Indexing Calibration Cuvettes

    To achieve the greatest accuracy, and account for normal scratches and aberrations in cuvette glass when calibrating, HF scientific inc. recommends indexing the cuvettes. Standards and standard kits purchased from HF scientific are supplied with indexing rings. The following steps allow repeatable indexing of calibration standards: 1.
  • Page 22: Instrument Configuration (Config Mode)

    Instrument Configuration (CONFIG mode) The instrument has been designed to provide the ability to customize the instrument according to needs at any time during normal operation. This mode has been split into sub-menus to facilitate instrument configuration. This section describes how to use each of the sub-menus to configure the instrument.

    Once the desired level has been set, press the ↵ button to accept it. The next, prompt will be the turbidity level assigned to the 20 mA output level (UPLM on the lower row of the LCD display). Select the turbidity level to assign to the UPLM using the t and u buttons.
  • Page 24: Configuring The Alarms

    7.4 Configuring the Alarms Two relays are provided that are designed to operate as two independent programmable alarms. Three types of information must be input to fully program each alarm: 1. The alarm function (HI, LO, or OFF) 2. The alarm set point (level at which the alarm activates) 3.
  • Page 25: Alarm 2

    Alarm 1 Set Point: This prompt is used to select the set point for this alarm; this is indicated by “S/P” shown on the lower row of the display. Select the desired alarm level by using the t and u buttons. Once the desired set point has been set, press the ↵ button to accept it.
  • Page 26: Enabling The Security Access

    7.6 Enabling the Security Access The instrument is equipped with a security access. If this option is turned on, the user is required to input the access code into the instrument to get to any mode other than AUTO. The only code is 333. This code may not be changed. See section 4.2 for more information on this security feature.
  • Page 27: Displayed Resolution

    7.9 Displayed Resolution The instrument is equipped with the ability to display several levels of resolution. The instrument can display up to four digits to the right of the decimal place for turbidity readings below 10 NTU. The default setting is 0.01 NTU. If the last digit or two is not stable, adjust the resolution to hide these digits.
  • Page 28: Setting The Units

    7.11 Setting the Units The most common unit is NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) however the instrument can display in FNU (Formazin Nephelometric Units). All instruments are shipped from the factory set in NTU mode. Make a selection using the t and u buttons then press the ↵...
