    Section 4.1 for information regarding maintenance. C-FLUOR Probes output a voltage signal that is proportional to the fluorophore of interest. Every C-FLUOR is factory calibrated and delivered with a certificate that contains factory calibration values for that specific probe; the certificate also contains an equation that can be used with the calibration values to convert C- FLUOR’s voltage signal to concentration estimates for the specified fluorophore...
  • Page 9: Performing C-Fluor Measurements

    C-FLUOR Probes output a 0-5 Volt analog signal proportional to the fluorescence detected from the fluorophore of interest. Use the wiring diagram from Section 2.4 to connect the C-FLUOR to a power supply and a multi-meter that will read voltages from the probe. Submerge the optical head, or entire probe, into the water sample;...
