  • Page 9: Safety

    Safety Safety This operating manual contains basic instructions that you must follow during the commissioning, operation and maintenance of the measuring instrument. Consequently, all responsible personnel must read this operating manual before working with the measuring instrument. The operating manual must always be available within the vicinity of the measuring instrument.

  • Page 10: Authorized Use

    Safety Authorized use Authorized use consists exclusively of the turbidity measurement of individual samples on site or in a laboratory environment. The technical specifications given in the T ECHNICAL chapter must be observed. Only the operation and running of the measuring instrument according to the instructions given in this operating manual is authorized.
  • Page 11 Safety Safe operation If safe operation is no longer possible, the instrument must be taken out of service and secured against inadvertent operation! Safe operation is no longer possible if the measuring instrument has been damaged in transport has been stored under adverse conditions for a lengthy period of time is visibly damaged no longer operates as described in this manual.

  • Page 15: Operation

    Operation Operation Instructions for operating 4.1.1 Marking and indexing cuvettes Even completely clean quality cuvettes exhibit tiny directional differences in their light transmittance. Therefore, if you want to achieve accurate and reproducible measurement results, it is necessary to always index the sample cuvettes and calibration standards in the same way (see section 2130 of the "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater", 19th edition).
  • Page 16 Operation Mark a calibration standard as follows: 1 Switch on the turbidimeter: Press the key. 2 Make sure that the outside of the cuvette is clean, dry, and free of fingerprints. 3 Insert the calibration standard in the cuvette shaft so that it clicks into place.

  • Page 17: Venting The Sample

    Operation Indexing a A marked calibration standard is indexed as follows: calibration standard during calibration 1 Insert the marked calibration standard in the cuvette shaft so that it clicks into place. 2 Turn the calibration standard so that the arrow on the marking ring points to the mark on the enclosure.

  • Page 18: Measuring Turbidity

    Never pour liquid directly into the cuvette shaft. Always use a cuvette for the measurement. The measuring instrument only measures precisely when the cuvette is closed with the black light protective cap (WTW cuvettes). Note The outside of the cuvette always has to be clean, dry, and free of fingerprints.
  • Page 19 Operation 5 Make sure that the outside of the cuvette is clean, dry, and free of fingerprints. 6 Insert the cuvette in the cuvette shaft so that it clicks into place. 7 Align the cuvette: Slowly rotate the cuvette by one complete rotation (by 360 °) in small steps and hold the depressed while doing so.

  • Page 21: Calibration

    4.3.1 Basic information on calibration Why calibrate? Just like any other measuring instrument, the measuring accuracy of the Turb 355 IR/T has to be checked and adjusted at regular intervals. When to calibrate? Under normal conditions, we recommend calibrating the turbidimeter at least every three months.

  • Page 22: Preparing The Calibration

    Operation three calibration standards if the anticipated measured values lie in a limited range (partial calibration). However, when selecting the calibration points, the following rules must be followed so that the instrument measures with the precision specified in chapter 7 T within the ECHNICAL DATA calibration period:...

  • Page 23: Three-Point Calibration

    Operation 4.3.4 Three-point calibration Calibration The three-point calibration according to the calibration sequence program calibrates the instrument using the calibration standards in the following order: 1000 > 10.0 > 0.02 NTU/FNU Note If, after the end of a calibration step, you do not resume the calibration within 5 minutes, the instrument automatically switches itself off.
  • Page 24 Operation 3 Insert the 1000 NTU/FNU calibration standard in the cuvette shaft so that it clicks into place. 4 Press the key and align the cuvette as described on page 55. After releasing the key a 30 seconds countdown is displayed. The instrument measures the calibration standard and afterwards shortly displays the 1000.
