- Page 9 • Free Calibration A full guided calibration of the T10 is recommended once every 3 months at a minimum, to compensate for changes in light bulb intensity. This calibration is not to be confused with the ‘software calibration’ performed through PC-Titrate when using the Automated Turbidity setup. This calibration is accessed by navigating through the T10 meter menus and is only applied internally to the meter.

- Page 13 The T10 turbidity meter Free Calibration is a quick, 1-point adjustment to the T10 meter’s internal calibration curve. For end-users operating a Manual T10 Turbidity meter, the Free Calibration is performed with one of the screw-cap cuvettes, filled with the desired standard for free calibration. MANTECH recommends performing the free calibration with an NTU standard around the mid-point for expected sample results.
- Page 14 Screw the cap tightly onto the cuvette. 8. Once more ensure there are no smudges or residue on the cuvette, then insert into the T10 meter with the alignment mark on the cuvette facing towards the keypad. Close the measuring chamber lid.
- Page 15 9. Press the READ button and the meter will start the measurement of the standard. You will see the measurement result appear on-screen once done. 10. Use the arrow buttons to adjust the measured NTU to the expected NTU value of the standard. Hold the SAVE button for 3 seconds to save the free calibration point.
- Page 16 Auto-Shutoff feature can be used to turn off the meter after a period of inactivity. Sample analysis with the Benchtop or Portable T10 is performed using cuvette inserts in a similar manner to the Guided Calibration. The T10 meter is able to store up to 1000 data points internally, each with an associated Sample ID and User.
- Page 18 Automated Turbidity operation with the Flow-Through Cell requires valid module and software calibrations performed within the last 90, and 30 days respectively. Refer to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 for instructions on performing these calibrations. With valid calibrations performed, pour the samples into sequential cups/tubes on the Autosampler tray, then use one of the Autorun buttons on the bottom of the PC-Titrate home screen to bring up a pre-made Timetable template, or...
