  • Page 13: 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 repro- ducible 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...
  • Page 14 Operation Slowly rotate the calibration standard by one complete rotation (by 360 °) in small steps and hold the key depressed while doing so. After each step, wait for a moment until the dis- play is stable. Watch the display of the turbidim- eter while you rotate the cuvette.

  • Page 15: Venting The Sample

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

  • Page 16: Measuring Turbidity

    Operation Measuring turbidity Caution Never pour liquid directly into the cuvette shaft. Always use a cuvette for the measurement. The mea- suring instrument only measures precisely when the cuvette is closed with the black light protective cap. Note The outside of the cuvette always has to be clean, dry, and free of fingerprints.
  • Page 17 Operation Align the cuvette: Slowly rotate the cuvette by one complete rota- tion (by 360 °) in small steps and hold the key depressed while doing so. After each step, wait for a moment until the display is sta- ble. Watch the display of the turbidimeter while you rotate the cuvette.

    Operation Calibration 4.3.1 Basic information on calibration Why calibrate? Just like any other measuring instrument, the measur- ing accuracy of the Turbiquant 1100 IR / Turbiquant ® ® 1100 T has to be checked and adjusted at regular intervals. When to Under normal conditions, we recommend calibrating calibrate? the turbidimeter at least every three months.

  • Page 20: Preparing The Calibration

    Operation However, when selecting the calibration points, the fol- lowing rules must be followed so that the instrument measures with the precision specified in chapter 7 TECHNICAL DATA within the calibration period: • The expected measuring range must lie between two calibration points.

  • Page 21: 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 instru- ment automatically switches itself off.
  • Page 22 Operation 1 1 0 0 0 0 Insert the 10.0 NTU/FNU calibration standard in the cuvette shaft so that it clicks into place. Press the key and align the cuvette as described on page 14. After releasing the key a 60 seconds countdown is displayed.
