Note

To keep the drift as low as possible, the time for indexing the 
cuvette while pressing and holding the 

1

 key is limited to 

30 or 60 seconds. After this time the turbidimeter 
automatically starts the measurement or calibration.

5 Make sure that the outside of the cuvette is clean, 

dry, and free of fingerprints.

6 Insert the cuvette in the cuvette shaft so that it clicks 

into place.

7 Align the cuvette: 

Slowly rotate the cuvette by one complete rotation 
(by 360 °) in small steps and hold the  

1

 key 

depressed while doing so. After each step, wait for a 
moment until the display is stable. Watch the display 
of the turbidimeter while you rotate the cuvette. 
Subsequently, turn the cuvette to the position with the 
lowest displayed value.

8 Leave go of the 

1

 key.

9 Dashes are displayed while the measured value is 

being determined.

10 Read the measured value when it is displayed.

11 Repeat steps 2 to 9 for further samples.
