READING MENU

When taking readings ensure the cuvette is free from
dirt, dust and condensation using the supplied lint-free
cloths.
Ensure the light cap is in place to prevent stray light
from adversely affecting readings. If no light cap is
fitted or the sample cuvette is not correctly inserted
Error 107: Blanking Error will be reported.
Microscopic scratches on the sample cuvette will
refract light and can lead to higher than expected
values. To prevent scratches having an impact apply a
thin film of silicone oil (provided) to the sample cuvette.
Select the 'Reading' menu and choose from:-
Normal – This mode reads the turbidity of the sample
in approximately eight seconds with an audible beep at
the start and finish of measurement.
Average – Selecting this mode prompts a further choice
of Short Average (3 readings), Medium Average (6
readings) and Long Average (12 readings). Averaging
readings is extremely useful for turbidity measurement
where particles are in motion or where extremely high
accuracy is required.
Continuous-Capture – This mode allows continuous
reading of sample turbidity until measurement is
manually interrupted. This mode will support cuvette
indexing and settling studies on rapidly settling samples.
