NEON_NTU_Turbidity_Temperature 6.3.2 G ENERAL MENU The "GENERAL MENU" screen provides access to calibration, recording as well as preference settings (date/time configuration, NEON hand-held device and sensor information, standby delay configuration, language selection, and settings RESET feature). CALIBRATION RECORDING PREFERENCES Move the cursor with the up and down arrows to access the desired menu and confirm the selection with the "OK" key. -
Page 17: Turbidity Main Parameter
NEON_NTU_Turbidity_Temperature 6.3.3.1 T URBIDITY MAIN PARAMETER You can calibrate the conductivity parameter via this menu. Calibration can be performed on 4 ranges [0-50 NTU, 0- 200 NTU, 0-1000 NTU and 0-4000 NTU). Each range can be calibrated independently of each other. Select the range to be calibrated beforehand by moving the cursor to the relevant line (displayed in white). - Page 18 NEON_NTU_Turbidity_Temperature Calibration of the 0-1000 NTU range: Step 2 with a buffer solution. To calibrate the 0-1000 NTU range, repeat the previous steps Step 1 Offset with sensor in distilled water and Step 2 (slope) with a 500 NTU Formazine solution. For the preparation of solutions, take a 200 ml bottle.

Page 19: Turbidity In Mg/L
NEON_NTU_Turbidity_Temperature For this measurement range, the acceptance tolerances are: +/- 5 NTU for offset and +/- 30% for slope. Confirm the second calibration step using the OK key. Calibration of the 0.0-200.0 NTU range: Step 2 with a buffer solution. To calibrate the 0-200 NTU range, repeat the previous steps: Step 1 Offset with sensor in distilled water and Step 2 (slope) with a 100 NTU Formazine solution. - Page 20 NEON_NTU_Turbidity_Temperature Offset Calibration: Place the NTU sensor, clean and dry (see cleaning section of the NTU sensor Chapter 8.1), in an opaque container containing distilled water to simulate a 0 mg/l. As soon as the measurement stabilizes at 0 mg/l, validate the calibration step with the OK button. Calibration condition Measure of Temperature Measurement Actual turbidity (mg/l)
