  • Page 23: Section 5 Operation

    Section 5 Operation Calibration Turbidity measurements do not need to be calibrated, as a standardized calibration curve according to ISO 7027 is stored in the instrument. It is possible to create a customer-specific calibration of the turbidity curve. If the standard curve has been altered, a star (*) appears before the measurement point.
  • Page 24: Calibrating

    Operation 5.1.2 Calibrating The instrument can save one turbidity curve and up to four solids calibration curves. This makes measurements in media with different qualities possible. Each measurement point can have one of the saved calibration curves assigned to it individually. 1-point calibration In order to define a calibration curve, it is generally sufficient to use a single calibration point in the probe's measuring range.
