Certification
Canadian Radio Interference-Causing Equipment Regulation,
IECS-003, Class A:
Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer.
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numèrique de la classe A respecte toutes les exigences du
Rëglement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada.
FCC Part 15, Class "A" Limits
Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer. The device complies
with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
conditions:
1. The equipment may not cause harmful interference.
2. The equipment must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
4 English
environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at their expense. The following techniques can be
used to reduce interference problems:
1. Disconnect the equipment from its power source to verify that it is or
is not the source of the interference.
2. If the equipment is connected to the same outlet as the device
experiencing interference, connect the equipment to a different outlet.
3. Move the equipment away from the device receiving the interference.
4. Reposition the receiving antenna for the device receiving the
interference.
5. Try combinations of the above.
Product overview
The 2100Q and 2100Qis portable turbidimeters measure turbidity from 0
to 1000 NTU (FNU). Primarily for field use, the portable meter operates on
four AA batteries. Data can be stored and transferred to a printer, computer
or USB storage device.

Installation
C A U T I O N
Personal injury hazard. Only qualified personnel should conduct the tasks
described in this section of the manual.
Install the battery
WARNING
Potential fire hazard. Use only alkaline or nickel metal hydride batteries (NiMH) in
the meter. Other battery types or incorrect installation can cause a fire. Never mix
battery types in the meter.
N O T I C E
The battery compartment is not waterproof. If the battery compartment becomes
wet, remove and dry the batteries and thoroughly dry the interior of the
compartment. Check the battery contacts for corrosion and clean them if
necessary.
N O T I C E
When using nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, the battery icon will not indicate
a full charge after freshly charged batteries have been inserted (NiMH batteries
are 1.2 V versus 1.5 V for alkaline batteries). Even though the icon does not indicate
complete charge, 2500 mAH NiMH batteries will achieve 90% of instrument
operation lifetime (before recharge) versus new alkaline batteries.
The meter can be powered with AA alkaline or rechargeable NiMH
batteries. To conserve battery life, the meter will power off after 10 minutes
of inactivity, the backlight powers off after 30 seconds. This time can be
changed in the Power Management menu.
Note: Rechargeable batteries will only be recharged with the USB/power module.
Refer to the module documentation for further information.
For battery installation refer to Figure 3.
1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Install 4 AA alkaline or 4 AA nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.
Make sure that the batteries are installed in the correct orientation.
3. Replace the battery cover.

Advanced operations
Calibrate the turbidimeter with StablCal® Standards
Note: For best accuracy use the same sample cell or four matched sample cells for
all readings during calibration. Insert the sample cell in the instrument cell
compartment so the diamond or orientation mark aligns with the raised orientation
mark in front of the cell compartment.

1. Push the
CALIBRATION key to
enter the Calibration
mode. Follow the
instructions on the
display.
Note: Gently invert each
standard before
inserting the standard.
2. Insert the 20 NTU
StablCal Standard and
close the lid.
Note: The standard to
be inserted is bordered.
3. Push Read. The
display shows
Stabilizing and then
shows the result.
4. Repeat Step 2 and 3
with the 100 NTU and
800 NTU StablCal
Standard.
Note: Push Done to
complete a 2 point
calibration.
5. Push Done to review
the calibration details.
6. Push Store to save
the results.
After a calibration is
complete, the meter
automatically goes into
the Verify Cal mode. For
additional information,
refer to the CD for an
expanded version of this
manual.
Reading modes
1. Push the UP or DOWN key to enter the Reading Options menu.
2. Select Reading Mode to select one of the following options:
Option Description
Normal (Default
setting)
The normal mode reads and averages three readings.
The result is shown after the reading.
Signal Average The Signal Average mode compensates for reading
fluctuations caused by drifting of sample particles
through the light path.
The X-bar icon is shown on the display when signal
averaging is on.
The Signal Average mode measures 12 times and starts
to show the average after three readings. The final result
is the average of all 12 readings.
Rapidly Settling
Turbidity™ (RST)
The Rapidly Settling Turbidity (RST) mode calculates
and continuously updates the turbidity reading of the
sample to a confidence of 95%, based on the
accumulated trend of the real time measured values.
The RST mode is best used on samples that settle
rapidly and continuously change in value. The reading
is based on a correctly prepared sample that is
homogeneous at the beginning of the reading. It is best
applied to samples that are greater than 20 NTU. The
sample must be mixed thoroughly by inversion
immediately before inserting it into the meter.
The target icon is shown on the display when the Rapidly
Settling Turbidity is on.
The Rapidly Settling Turbidity reads and calculates five
readings while showing intermediate results.
