Stabilising
000%
The Meter will wait until the readings are stable, then it will send the calibration command
to the Probe, where the calibration takes place. During calibration, the Calibrating screen is
displayed and the progress counter counts up. If the calibration is successful, the counter
will reach 100% and the following screen will be displayed.

Press [OK]
When calibration is complete, press the
OK
key.
15.5. Verifying Turbidity Zero Point Calibration
Due to the fact that debris and air bubbles can adversely affect Turbidity calibration, it is
essential to verify calibration has been properly achieved. To do this, follow calibration with
this procedure.
1.
Remove the probe from the calibration bottle, shake it off, then reinsert. Bang
the probe to remove any air bubbles.
2.
Press the
ESC
key repeatedly to get back to the main screen.
3.
Wait until the temperature and TURB readings are stable, then check that the
TURB reading is less than 01.0 NTU (this represents 1% of the low scale).
4.
If the reading is above this limit, recalibrate, this time leaving more time for
stabilisation.
If you can not successfully verify the TURB calibration after several attempts, replace the
RapidCal solution / de-ionised water. If the problem persists, strip the probe down as
described below under Lens Maintenance and thoroughly clean the Turbidity electrode
lenses.
