4. Press the key (below the Edit prompt).
The Calibration Type screen is displayed:
5. Use the / keys to select 2-Point Cal and press the
key (below the OK prompt) to start the 2-point
calibration. The Turbidity / Low Solution Value screen is
displayed where the first point value can be entered:
Press the key (below the Next prompt).
Press the key (below the Edit prompt) to enter the value
of the lower calibration point. Press the key (below the
OK prompt). Press the key (below the Next prompt) to
set the value and display the Second Point Value screen.
6. On the Turbidity / High Solution Value screen press the
key (below the Edit prompt) to enter the value of the higher
calibration point.
7. Place the sensor in the lower calibration solution, press the
key (below the OK prompt), press the key (below the
Next and press the key (below the Continue prompt).
The calibration process screen is displayed – the calibration
can be cancelled at any time during the process by pressing
the
key (below the Abort prompt):
8. When acquisition is complete remove the sensor from the
first calibration point, clean and insert the sensor into the
second calibration point. Clean and dry the sensor
thoroughly, to avoid cross contamination of the calibration
solutions. Press the
key (below the Continue prompt) to
start data acquisition.
9. If the calibration fails a message is displayed indicating the
reason for failure. If the calibration is successful the final
screen displays the new slope. Press the
key (below the
Exit prompt) to return to the main menu.
The 2-point calibration is now complete.
6.4 Suspended solids
There are 4 possible calibration modes for suspended solids:
— 1-Point calibration : assumes that there is no zero offset,
so a single point is used to calculate the linear relation
between turbidity and suspended solids – refer to
Section 6.4.2, page 18
— 2-Point calibration : two solutions of known suspended
solids concentrations are used to determine the linear
relation between turbidity and suspended solids – refer
to Section 6.4.3, page 19
— In-Process calibration : used in situations where it is not
possible to remove the sensor from the process. A grab
sample is taken from the process for laboratory
determination of the suspended solids content, and the
sensor stores the turbidity value being read at the time
the sample was taken – refer to Sections 6.4.4, page 20
to 6.4.6, page 21
— Manual coefficient : allows the user to input a coefficient
obtained from data analyzed in the lab – refer to
Section 6.4.7, page 22.
