Solid Secondary Standard (SSS) for UV - CDOM / FDOM, Optical Brighteners, and Crude Oil P/N 2100-904 Note: The UV SSS can be used for both C-FLUOR and Cyclops for the applications specified above, as well as Cyclops Refined Fuels and Tryptophan sensors.
Digital C-FLUOR Submersible Probe 2.4 Functional Test for Digital C-FLUOR with connector To perform a functional check on a Digital C-FLUOR Probe, connect the probe to your computer following the instructions below, using the RS-232 Programming Cable as shown in Figure 1:...
C-FLUOR Without Connector (Digital) P/N: 2120-000-“Identification Letter”-NC-232 Use the wiring guide in Appendix C to wire the Digital C-FLUOR Probe for serial communication with your computer or controller. Use the command list in Appendix E to configure your Digital C-FLUOR probe for your data logger or third-party instrument that accepts an ASCII data string output.
Digital C-FLUOR Submersible Probe 3. Digital C-FLUOR Software & Functions Software is used to configure Digital C-FLUOR Probes for digital integration and/or deployment. Digital C-FLUOR Probes do not store data internally, ASCII data strings are sent out via serial communication.
Digital C-FLUOR Submersible Probe 3.1.2 Data Streaming Mode Data streaming mode provides a continuous ASCII digital output string at selectable data rates. Rates can be accessed using the pull-down menu located next to the “Data Streaming” box. To activate Data Streaming mode you must first choose a Rate and then put a checkmark in the box next to the “Data Streaming”...
Digital C-FLUOR Submersible Probe 3.2 Calibration The Digital C-FLUOR Probe is factory calibrated and the calibration values are stored in memory. The probe can be re-calibrated by users via software if site- specific calibrations are desired for increased accuracy. New calibration values will be stored in memory without overwriting or erasing factory calibration values.
3.2.2 Restoring Factory Calibration To restore the factory calibration of your Digital C-FLUOR Probe, you’ll need to connect your probe to a computer with Digital C-FLUOR software, communicate with your probe using the software and click on the Calibration tab.
4. Maintenance and Warranty 4.1 Maintenance 4.1.1 Rinsing The C-FLUOR should be rinsed or soaked in fresh water following each deployment until it is completely clean again. 4.1.2 Care for the bulkhead connector A light coat of Silicone spray should be used on the rubber of the male pins of the bulkhead to aid in sealing.
4.3 Warranty Service To obtain service during the warranty period, the owner shall take the following steps: 1. Write, email or call Turner Designs Technical Support and describe as precisely as possible the nature of the problem. Phone: 1 (877) 316-8049 Email: support@turnerdesigns.com...
