Section 2 General Information Safety information Please read this entire manual carefully before unpacking, setting up, or operating this equipment. Pay attention to all danger and caution notices. Failure to do so could result in serious injury to the operator or damage to the equipment. To prevent damage to or impairment of the device's protection equipment, the device may only be used or installed as described in this manual.
General Information Overview of product The TSS Portable is a handheld measurement instrument for the analytical determination of turbidity and solids in aqueous media. Measurement instrument The instrument stores the recorded data under the corresponding calibration curve. Four calibration curves for solids (C-DS1, C-DS2, C-DS3, C-DS4) and one calibration curve for turbidity (C-TU) are available for selection.
Section 3 Installation WA R N I N G Risk of falling. Measurements are taken directly on site with this instrument. In order to avoid falling into the basin, all local safety regulations with respect to roping up and wearing appropriate protective clothing and shoes must be observed.
Installation Powered via rechargeable batteries WA R N I N G Risk of fire and explosion. Only use rechargeable NiMH batteries and ensure that the rechargeable NiMH batteries are inserted correctly in the battery compartment. Incorrect insertion of the rechargeable NiMH batteries may damage the instrument or lead to fire or explosions. WA R N I N G Risk of fire and explosion.
Installation Figure 2 Inserting the rechargeable batteries Catch Battery holder Battery compartment rechargeable Batteries Battery clip 3.2.2 Install the charger WA R N I N G Risk of fire and explosion. Only use the battery charger to charge the rechargeable NiMH batteries, while batteries inside the instrument.
Installation Figure 3 Replacing the adapter Charger Removing the adapter Slide switch The battery charger must agree with local and national safety regulations and may not be part of the shipment. If the charger is not part of the shipment, charge the batteries with a charger available in your country. Make sure that the charger agrees the battery specifications.
Installation Figure 4 Charging the rechargeable batteries Charger Charging socket Discharge button (yellow) LED lamp (green => rechargeable batteries fully charged) Charging plug LED lamp (red => rechargeable batteries currently charging) The battery charger must agree with local and national safety regulations and may not be part of the shipment. If the charger is not part of the shipment, charge the batteries with a charger available in your country.
Installation Figure 5 Connecting the probe plug to the instrument Probe plug Probe connection Switching the instrument on and off 1. Fully charge the rechargeable batteries (see section 3.2.3). Note: The rechargeable batteries are fully charged when the LED on the charger is green. 2.
Section 4 Start Up System start overview 1. Switch on the measurement instrument (section 3.4, page 14). 2. Connect the probe to the measurement instrument (section 3.3, page 13). 3. Edit the time/date, display, units, language and integration time (section 4.3, page 17).
Start Up 4.2.2 Display In its basic setting, the display shows the main measurement variables and the date/time (Figure 7). It can be set in a user-defined manner, see section 4.5, page Table 1 Navigating in the menu Navigation key Description Navigation key RIGHT/LEFT Navigation occurs with the RIGHT/LEFT navigation keys.
Start Up 4.2.2.1 Querying internal information Information about the probe and instrument can be queried directly from the main menu using the navigation keys UP/DOWN The following information is displayed: a. Measurement value (homogeneity in %) b. Battery charge level c.
Start Up Setting the display It is possible to custom-define the first two rows of the display. In the standard setting, the first line shows the main measured variable and the second line shows the date/time. 1. Select , confirm with MENU ENTER/ON 2.
Start Up Calibration For turbidity measurement, a standard curve C-TU is already stored in the probe. Calibration is not required. However, for solids measurement, calibration is required in order to set the rough measurement signals to a calibrated display (refer to section 5.1, page 23).

Start Up Calibrate curve C-DS1: 7. Select and confirm with MEMORY ENTER/ON 8. Lower the probe into a container that contains a homogeneous sample. 9. Select and confirm with while stirring the measuring medium with POINT 1 ENTER/ON the probe. The distance between the probe head and the walls and base of the container must always be more than 70 mm (2.76 in.).
Start Up 4.8.2.2 Practical example for turbidity measurement A standard curve C-TU is stored for the turbidity measurement. 1. Connect probe to instrument. 2. To switch the instrument on, press for 2 seconds. ENTER/ON 3. Select and confirm with READ ENTER/ON 4.
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.
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.

Operation 14. Enter the laboratory values using the navigation keys and confirm with ENTER/ON • Navigation key : Jump to the next/previous decimal place LEFT/RIGHT • Navigation key : Change number UP/DOWN The laboratory value is saved. The main menu is shown. Repeat steps 1 to 14 to record additional calibration points.
Operation 5.1.3 Manual calibration value correction 1. Select , confirm with MENU ENTER/ON 2. Select , confirm with CALIBRATE ENTER/ON The instrument reads the probe data. 3. Select the curve shown and confirm with ENTER/ON 4. Select the desired curve and confirm with ENTER/ON 5.
Operation 5.2.1 Selecting the calibration curve Before starting the measurement, the calibration curve that corresponds to the measurement point must be selected. 1. Select , confirm with MENU ENTER/ON 2. Select , confirm with CALIBRATE ENTER/ON 3. Selectthe curve shown and confirm with ENTER/ON 4.
Operation Delete stored data for all calibration curves 1. Select , confirm with MENU ENTER/ON 2. Select , confirm with SYSTEM ENTER/ON 3. Enter the value 379 using the navigation keys and confirm with ENTER/ON...
Section 6 Maintenance C A U T I O N Potential chemical and biological eye and skin hazards. Only qualified personnel should perform the tasks described in this section of the operating manual. The cleanliness of the measurement windows in the sensor head is critical to the accuracy of the measurement results! Cleaning the instrument Clean the instrument with a damp, lint-free cloth.
