In this manual, you will find all the information you will need to commission the TTurb sensor. Technical specifi- cations as well as detection limits and the dimensions can be found in chapter 7.
Devices that radiate strong electromagnetic waves can influence the measurement data or result in a malfunc- tion of the sensor. Avoid using the following devices in the same room as the TriOS sensor: mobile phones, cordless phones, transmitters/ receivers and other electrical devices that produce electromagnetic waves.
1.4 User and Operating Requirements The TTurb sensor has been developed for use in industry and science. The target group for the operation of the TTurb sensor is technically skilled staff in plants, sewage treatment plants, water plants and institutes. The use of this device often requires the handling of hazardous substances.
• Drinking water monitoring Use in other media can damage the sensor. For the use of the TTurb sensor in other media than those specified in this manual, please contact the customer service of TriOS Mess- und Datentechnik GmbH (support@trios.
As an immersion sensor, the TTurb can be used directly in the measuring medium, but is also available in the FlowCell-optimized version for bypass applications. In addition, it is possible to obtain the TTurb directly in a set with the dry-standard TTurbCAL.
Formazine is used internationally as the standard for calibrating turbidity sensors and thus makes them com- parable with each other.

TTurb 2.4 Browser TTurb is equipped with a web interface, which can be used to configure and calibrate the sensor. For example, offsets and scaling factors can be assigned, interfaces can be configured and further settings can be entered. To access the web interface, you will need the G2 InterfaceBox and an Ethernet-capable device with a web browser, e.g.

“Measurement” includes the results of the last measurements performed and allows the interval to be set for automatic measurements. The new measurement can be triggered at any time. To do this, press “Measure Now!”. A new measurement will be triggered with the saved settings. D01-070en202211 Manual TTurb...

This calibration file (config.ini) must be stored and kept safe. Use the “Upload” function to restore a previously downloaded calibration file or to upload a calibration file generated by the customer support of TriOS Mess- und Datentechnik GmbH to the TTurb.
The sensor is ready for commissioning as soon as the installation of accessories is complete, it is connected to your control device and the configuration is complete. Ensure correct polarity of the supply voltage, because otherwise the sensor might NOTICE get damaged. D01-070en202211 Manual TTurb...
A line is put on the B line. The A-B difference is decisive, where the transmission is most resistant to interactive interference signals. The protocol used is Modbus RTU. A detailed description of the Modbus RTU protocol for TTurb can be found in the annex.
TTurb 4 Use TTurb can be operated with all TriOS controllers. Instructions for correct installation can be found in the relevant controller manual. The sensor is automatically detected during the sensor scan after switching on the TriOS controller. If the sensor is operated with the DIN rail module HS 100 or directly with a process control system or SCADA system, the customer is responsible for correct commissioning and programming.
Follow the steps below to install the TTurb into the FlowCell. 1. Remove the pressure ring from the FlowCell. It can easily be opened by hand. 2. First push the O-ring (which is attached to the FlowCell in the bag) onto the TTurb. Next insert the TTurb into the FlowCell.
For the standard manufacturer calibration, the sensor is calibrated in a big container with Formazine standard. 5.1.2 Calibration for FlowCell use For use in a TriOS FlowCell, the calibration is directly performed in a TriOS FlowCell. The sensor is factory calibrated with Formazine or a polymer traceable to Formazine.
Each TTurbCAL generates a specific turbidity signal corresponding to a turbidity concentration in FNU. The ex- act concentration of the TTurbCAL is noted on the ID label. The serial number (TTurb SN) of the corresponding TTurb-1000 is also noted. The figure below shows an example of such a ID label.

Application with EGC Water Analyzer and TriBox3 The application described here is for the operation of a TTurb-1000 in a TriOS EGC Water Analyzer, which has a special TTurbCAL holder for mounting on a FlowCell for associated TpH-D. The TTurbCAL can also be used without a TpH-D FlowCell or such a holder.

3. If not already done, stop the water flow in the system and empty the FlowCell. 4. Unscrew the pressure ring of the sensor and remove the TTurb-1000 sensor from the FlowCell. 5. Leave the O-ring and the pressure ring on the TTurb-1000.

9. If the TTurbCAL is clean and shows no optical defects, place the TTurbCAL on the sensor. The shape of the standard is designed to fit the TTurb perfectly. TTurbCAL will find the correct position on its own, if you slightly press it down on the sensor head. To find the correct position, put the TTurbCAL three times on the sensor head.

3. When the TTurb has warmed up and both the sensor and the TTurbCAL are free from contamination, you can start checking the TTurb-1000. 4. Hold the sensor in your hand with the head upright and place the TTurbCAL on the TTurb. Note the previous section Nr. 9.
If you do not have a TriBox3, you can check your TTurb-1000 as follows: Set the measuring interval of the TTurb-1000 to 10 seconds (via Web Interface or Modbus) and let the sensor warm up for at least 10 minutes before calibration.
Please read the following procedure for your returns. Prior to returning the sensor to TriOS, please contact our technical support to assure a smooth return process and avoid incorrect shipments. You will then receive a numbered RMA form, which you need to complete, sign and return to us.
8.3 TTurbCAL The TTurbCAL is a solid standard, which provides an FNU or NTU value for reagent-free calibration of TriOS TTurb sensors. The standard is very easy to use and makes device calibration on site much easier. D01-070en202211 Manual TTurb...
