Precautionary labels
Read all labels and tags attached to the instrument. Personal injury or
damage to the instrument could occur if not observed. A symbol on the
instrument is referenced in the manual with a precautionary statement.
This is the safety alert symbol. Obey all safety messages that follow
this symbol to avoid potential injury. If on the instrument, refer to the
instruction manual for operation or safety information.
This symbol indicates that a risk of electrical shock and/or
electrocution exists.
Electrical equipment marked with this symbol may not be disposed of
in European public disposal systems after 12 August of 2005. In
conformity with European local and national regulations (EU Directive
2002/96/EC), European electrical equipment users must now return

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 numérique de classe A répond à toutes les exigences de la
réglementation canadienne sur les équipements provoquant des
interférences.
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:
4 English
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 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
CAUTION
Multiple hazards. Only qualified personnel must conduct the tasks
described in this section of the document.
Install the battery
W A R N I N G
Explosion hazard. An expired battery can cause hydrogen gas buildup
inside the instrument. Replace the battery before it expires. Do not
store the instrument for long periods with a battery installed.
W A R N I N G
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.
NOTICE
The battery compartment is not waterproof. If the battery compartment becomes
wet, remove and dry the batteries and dry the interior of the compartment. Check
the battery contacts for corrosion and clean them if necessary.
NOTICE
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, 2300 mAH NiMH batteries will achieve 90% of
instrument operation lifetime (before recharge) versus new alkaline batteries.
NOTICE
To avoid potential damage to the meter from battery leakage, remove the meter
batteries prior to extended periods of non-use.
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.
