The sample outlet of the detector is Rc1/2 (or 1/2 NPT female) thread. Install a fitting corresponding to the thread and connect a hose/tube with sufficient diameter that provides adequate flow of sample, to route the sample from the detector to a drain pipe.
An optional simple head tank with a vent to the atmosphere (option code “/D2”), shown in Figure 2.22, is available from Yokogawa. The piping diagram of the simple head tank is shown in Figure 2.23. The installation of and the piping for the simple head tank are described below.

The turbidity measurement is not affected by temporary suspension of sample water supply, but long-term suspension may interfere with the accuracy of the instrument. Since the TB820D cannot detect whether the sample water supply is stopped or not, periodical check of the sample line is needed.
< 7. Calibration > CALIBRATION This chapter describes types of calibration enabled with TB820D. Periodical calibration and an optimization of calibration parameters for Zero or Slope ensure accurate measurement. Zero shift or the sensitivity correction can also correct the standard and grab sample sensitivity. Clean the Flow cell before calibration.
< 7. Calibration > Turbidity calculation and calibration menu Zero, Slope are adjusted based on a standard solution as a reference. (Equation 7.1) If the turbidity measured by the instrument may differ from the one measured manually in a lab due to the difference of properties of the water sample and of turbidity measurement methods, the instrument can be adjusted so that it reads the same value as the one measured in a lab by performing the zero shift correction or sensitivity correction.
Zero Standard Zero Turbidity Standard Solution Filtered tap water is used as a zero turbidity standard solution for TB820D turbidity detector. For zero calibration, tap water should be filtered in two steps: first through a 1 µm filter and then through a 0.2 µm filter.

<8. MAINTENANCE> MAINTENANCE This chapter describes the inspection and maintenance required to keep the instrument in good operating condition. Inspection/Maintenance Items and Intervals The main inspection/maintenance items and their recommended intervals to keep the instrument in good operating condition, are provided in Table 8.1. Since the frequency of inspection/ maintenance depends on the operating conditions, use the recommended intervals shown in Table 8.1 as a reference and perform inspection/maintenance at appropriate intervals.
<8. MAINTENANCE> Washing the Flow cell The top cover (rubber cover) and the clear cover can be removed to clean the inside of the Flow cell and the surface of the window glass. If dirt remains, you can remove the sample outlet pipe and the upper part of the Flow cell to clean every corner in the Flow cell and the window glass.
(1) Turn on the maintenance mode. (2) Close the sample supply valve. (3) Draining water from the head tank and washing it. The following describes how to wash two optional head tanks provided by Yokogawa. [Pressurized head tank] 1. Close the sample valve.
<8. MAINTENANCE> Checking and Replacing Desiccants Inspect the condition of desiccant once every 6 months and replace it if necessary. Regardless of the result of the inspection, replace the desiccant once a year. If the humidity in the detector (the light source unit and the receiver) is high when a sample with low temperature runs into the Flow cell, condensation may form on the window glass.
<8. MAINTENANCE> Replacing the Zero Turbidity Filter Element The zero turbidity filter element should be replaced at regular intervals. (1) Make sure that the zero water supply valve and the zero water drain valve after the zero turbidity filter are closed. (2) Close the tap water valve before the zero turbidity filter to stop supplying tap water.
LED Replacement CAUTION • Turn off the power of TB820D before replacing the LED. • LED may be damaged by static electricity. When replacing the LED be sure to take measures against static electricity, such as using a grounded wristband.

8-10 <8. MAINTENANCE> Window glass replacement For TB820D you can replace the window glass of the Flow cell. There are three window glasses in the Flow cell (see Figures 8.2, 8.10). Refer to Section 8.9 when replacing each Flow cell.
Page 72
2. Wipe the inside of the Flow cell with a soft cloth. 3. In order to prevent the water remaining inside the liquid tank from dripping inside the TB820D main body, attach the red caps to the sample inlet pipe and the sample drainage pipe. (Figure 8.13).
Page 73
(4) Removal of the oscillator cable (when the suffix code -U1 is selected) Loosen the six (6) screws and open the front cover of the TB820D. Remove the oscillator cable at the connector as shown in the figure. (See Figure 8.14) Remove the oscillator cable at the connector.
Page 74
(2) Oscillator cable installation (Suffix code -U1 selected) Connect the oscillator cable to the connector and secure it with a clip as shown in the figure. Close the front cover of the TB820D and tighten the six (6) screws. (See Figure 8.17) Connect the oscillator cable Secure the oscillator cable at the connector.
Piping cap Flow cell replacement You can replace Flow cell of TB820D. Arrange a replacement for Flow cell according to Table 8.8. Figure 8.18 shows an example of Flow cell for replacement. A window glass is attached to the replacement Flow cell in advance. If the suffix code -U1 is selected, the oscillator is attached to the Flow cell window.

After the calibration time elapses, SV3 closes, SV4 opens, and TB820D starts draining the zero water out of the flow cell. After the draining finishes, SV4 closes, SV1 opens, and TB820D starts feeding a sample into the flow cell. After the sample feeding when the Recovery time elapses, Automatic calibration sequence ends and a measurement starts.
