5.  Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all samples. The meter can 

analyze up to 50 samples.

6.  Press the 

MIN/MAX

 button when you are finished with 

all samples. After pressing the MIN/MAX button, no new 

values can be added to the set.

7.  Press the 

MIN/MAX

 button as often as needed to display 

the minimum and maximum turbidity values of the data set 

in NTU.

8.  Press and hold the Min/Max button to exit the Multi-

Point mode.

9.  After exiting, all values are cleared. Therefore, the next 

time you enter Multi-Point mode, the meter will only 

analyze the samples within the new set.

Zero Point Adjustment

This feature is used for low turbidity systems such as well 

water, tap water, or surface water from lakes and rivers. This 

method is effective for any solutions whose expected value 

is <2.0 NTU. The feature allows you to define a custom 

standard for the zero value. All successive measurements 

will be offset by this zero value.

Note… 

The Zero Adjustment is NOT a calibration. Calibration 

is performed using the 0NTU and 100NTU solutions as 

described on page 6.
1.  Obtain a sample of your zero standard. This standard 

should be the lowest turbidity seen in your sample sets. 

For example, if you were testing a filtration system for 

drinking water, you would want to obtain a sample from 

the most successful filtration produced.

2.  Place your sample in one of the included test bottles, 

tighten the cap and ensure the outside of the bottle is free 

of fingerprints.
