FOUR-POINT CALIBRATION

• Remove the third standard cuvette.

• Place the cuvette for third calibration point:

  • 750 FNU (NTU) calibration cuvette for NTU 

ratio mode.

  • 750 NTU formazin prepared standard for NTU 

non‑ratio and FNU modes.

  • 2000 NTU formazin prepared standard for FAU 

mode.

Note: If necessary, press UP or DOWN key to edit each calibration point value to match the exact value 

of the standard as measured with a reference turbidimeter.

• Close the lid and press “Read” functional key. The display will show the value blinking and the  

light icon during measurement.

• The “Store...” message is displayed for FAU, FNU and NTU non‑ratio modes and the calibration is 

saved. The instrument returns to the main screen.

• The fifth proposed calibration point, 2000 NTU for NTU Ratio mode, is displayed.

• At this moment it is possible to exit calibration 

by pressing “End” functional key.

• If the calibration is terminated, the display will 

briefly show “Store...” and the four point calibration 
is saved. The instrument returns in the main screen.

FIFTH CALIBRATION POINT (NTU Ratio Turbidity only)

• Remove the fourth standard cuvette.
• Place the 2000 NTU calibration cuvette (or the 
fifth prepared formazin standard) into the holder, 
with the cuvette mark aligned to the sign on the 
instrument top.
