key: Press this key one time to turn on the meter and press this key for 3 seconds to turn off the meter. The meter will automatically shuts off 10 minutes after last key press except in the MAX/MIN and REL functions. ...
5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 5-1 Turbidity Calibration The meter has been factory calibrated. For best accuracy and regulatory compliance, re-calibration is recommended at least once every month. In addition, it is recommended to use the prepared calibration standard vials daily as check standards prior to the measurement of samples.

Also, do not store in freezing temperature will cause irreversible shrinkage of the standards particles thus resulting to inaccurate calibration and measurements. 5-1-2 Index Mark The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) recommends that vials used for turbidimeter calibration or sample measurement be indexed. Insert the calibration standard vial to the meter sample well so the diamond or orientation mark aligns with the raised orientation index mark in front of the sample well.

standard into the sample well “CAL2 100 NTU”. 10. Repeat the calibration for CAL2, CAL3 and CAL4 calibration standards. 11. After successfully calibrate the CAL4 standard (0.05 NTU), the meter automatically exits the calibration mode and ready for measurement. The complete calibration sequence as follows figure: Measurement Mode ...

5-2-2 Turbidity Measurement Procedure Preparation of Sample Vial 1. Use a clean and dry sample vial. 2. Take care to handle the sample vial by the top. 3. Rinse the sample vial with about 10mL of the sample water, capping the sample vial with screw cap and gently inverting it several times.
Page 17
Measurement Procedure 1. Gently invert each sample vial before inserting the sample vial. 2. Place the meter on a flat and level surface. 3. Open the meter light shield lid. 4. Place the sample vial into the sample well and align the vial’s index mark with the meter’s index mark.

“TEST” flashes about 12 10. If necessary, place the times. second sample vial into the sample well. Remember to align the sample vial’s index mark with the meter’s index mark. 11. Press “TEST” key, the display blinks “TEST” for 12 times and the measured value appears.
5-3 Continuous Measurement for Capturing Maximum and Minimum Values The MAX/MIN record mode captures maximum and minimum measured values. When the measured value goes above the recorded maximum value or below the recorded minimum value, the meter records the new value. 1.
1. Perform the Measurement Procedure Section step 1 to step 9 until the measured value appears in the display. 2. Press “REL” key to enter this mode. Zero the display, the “” mark is blink displayed, and the current measured value stored as the reference value. 3.
5-5-2 To Turn-On and Turn-Off Alarm function 1. In the measurement mode, press key for 3 seconds to turn on the alarm function, the “ALM” mark is displayed. 2. When the measured value is upper to the alarm limit value the beep will sound 12 seconds then the “ALM”...
9. Press “CAL” key and or key to set the “- - : second” to the real-time. 10. Press key to store the RTC setting and exit. 11. In the measurement mode, press key for 3 seconds to enter the RTC display mode then press ...
5-7-3 To Clear the Memorized Data 1. Press key for 3 seconds to turn off the meter. 2. Press and hold the “MEM” key then press key to turn on the meter, LCD will show “M CLER” one time, it indicates that the memorized data is erased. 6.
7. MAINTENANCE Turbidity meter maintenance Wipe the outside of the turbidimeter with a damp cloth. Use a lens tissue, a soft cloth, or clean compressed air can to remove dust and dirt from the sample well. Vial maintenance ...
