4. MEASURING PROCEDURE
4-1 Measurement Consideration
White mark
on the up
position of
" Testing
Bottle "
White mark
on the edge of the " Container "
Fig. 2
1)There is a " White mark " on the edge of the
" Container " ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) and also on the up
position of " Testing Bottle " ( 3-9, 3-10, 3-11,
3-12, Fig. 1 ), refer Fig. 2.
2)
When make the
measurement ( or
calibration ), it should
keep the " Container
white mark " face to face
together with the
" Testing bottle white mark "
4
3)Insert the " Testing bottle " to the bottom of
" Container " ( 3-2, Fi
g
. 1 ) completely.
4)Before the measurement, it should envelop in the
" Cover " ( 3-1, Fig. 1 ) completely.
Remark : Before the measurement, it should
keep the outside of Testing Bottle
under the dry condition and withou
t
existing any dust.
4-2 Measurement
1)Fill the measurement liquid into the " Testing bottle "
( 3-11, 3-12, Fig. 1 ) .
Attention :
Model 0601
It should fill th
e
10 mL
measuremen
t
liquid capacit
y
until its leve
l
up to the " leve
l
marker " of the
" Testin
g
bottle
"
2)Insert the " Testing bottle " to the bottom of
" Container " ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) completely.
3)Before the measurement, it should envelop in the
" Cover " ( 3-1, Fig. 1 ) completely.
4)Power ON the meter by pressing the " Power Button "
( 3-6, Fig. 1 ) once.
5)Press " TEST Button " ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) once, the display
will show the text " tESt " ( TEST )", following the "
tESt " will flash approx. 10 seconds , then the TURBIDITY
value will present on the display along with the " ntu "
unit.
5
Remark :
* Under power OFF, if press the TEST Button " ( 3-5,
Fig. 1 ) will power ON and going on to make the test
automatically.
* After the testing, within ten minutes approx., the
meter will auto power OFF automatically.
Wash ( Reinse ) the Testing bottle
* After the testing, it should wash ( reinse )
the Testing Bottle by the Clean Solution
( Distill Water ) " ( 3-17, Fig. 1 ).
4-3 Zero
When measure the " 0 NTU " liquid, if the display not show
the zero value, it can deduct ( offset ) those " not zero
value " with default, the zero procedures are :
Press the " ZERO Button " ( 3-7, Fig, 1 ) continuously
until the display show zero value then release the
finger from the button
* Remark :
The zero function can be executed within
the zero dift value < 2.0 NTU only.
4-4 Data Hold
During the measurement, press the " Hold Button " ( 3-4,
Fig. 1 ) once will hold the measured value & the LCD will
display a " HOLD " symbol.
* Press the " Hold Button " once again will release the data
hold function.
4-5 Data Record ( Max., Min. reading )
* The data record function records the maximum and
minimum readings. Press the " REC Button " ( 3-8, Fig.
1 ) once to start the Data Record function and there
will be a " REC. " symbol on the display.
6
* With the " REC. " symbol on the display :
a)Press the " REC Button " ( 3-8, Fig. 1 ) once, the "
REC. MAX. " symbol along with the maximum value
will appear on the display.
If intend to delete the maximum value, just press
the " Hold Button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once, then the
display will show the " REC. " symbol only & execute
the memory function continuously.
b)Press the " REC Button " ( 3-8, Fig. 1 ) again, the
" REC. MIN. " symbol along with the minimum value
will appear on the display.
If intend to delete the minimum value, just press
the " Hold Button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once, then
the display will show the " REC. " symbol only &
execute the memory function continuously.
5. CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
1)The meter can be calibrated under two kinds standard
solution :
0 NTU standard solution
100 NTU standard solution
2)The meter ship along with
a. Testing bottle with 0 NTU standard solution x 1 PC
b. Testing bottle with 100 NTU standard solution x 1 PC
as the standard accessories.
3)The complete calibration should be executed by
following two solution :
0 NTU standard solution
100 NTU standard solution
7
4) Shaking the calibration bottle lightly
Before execute the calibration, it should shake
lightly ( not strongly ) the
Standard solution ( TU-0NTU, TU-100NTU )
one to two seconds to let the calibration
solution under the uniform condition.
Remark :
Do not shake the Standard solution strongly due to it may
generate the " Air bubble " and let the solution existing not
accurate value.
5) The buttons that will be used during
the Calibration procedures
Escape button, select button :
Fig. 1, 3-4 Hold Button ( Esc Button )
Calibration button, Enter button :
Fig. 1, 3-5 TEST/CAL Button ( Enter Button )
6) 0 NTU calibration
a.Insert the " 0 NTU standard solution into the
" Container " ( 3-2 , Fig. 1) and envelope in the " Cover "
( 3-1, Fig. 1 ) completely, other procedures please
refer to above section 4-1, 4-2.
