Product overview

The 2100AN IS laboratory turbidimeter measures turbidity in FNUs

(Formazin nephelometric units), NTUs (nephelometric turbidity units) and

EBCs (European Brewing Convention units). NTUs and EBCs are

calculated using the conversion factors of 1.0 NTU per 1.0 FNU and

0.245 EBCs per 1.0 FNU. The 2100AN IS turbidimeter also measures

attenuation (FAU), absorbance and transmittance.

In addition, two user-defined measurement units can be specified. The

application specific mode of operation uses the nephelometric optical

system and the NTU measurement mode.

The turbidimeter has a built-in printer and an RS232 output for

connection to a printer, data logger or computer and a recorder output.

The turbidimeter contains a real-time clock with battery. The clock

provides a time-date stamp on all data transmitted to the built-in printer

or to external devices by way of the RS232 interface (i.e., measurements

and calibration records).

Standard operation

Calibrate the turbidimeter with StablCal

Standards

Calibrate the turbidimeter before it is used for the first time using the

StablCal

sealed vial standards provided. As an alternative, calibration

can be done with recently prepared formazin standards.

Calibrate the turbidimeter at least every 3 months or as specified by the

regulating authority when data is used for ISO 7027 reporting.

Note: Unknown results may occur if standards other than the recommended

calibration points are used. The recommended calibration points (< 0.1, 20, 200,

1000, 4000 and 7500 NTU) provide the best calibration accuracy. Use of standards

other than StablCal, or user-prepared formazin, may result in less accurate

calibrations. The manufacturer cannot guarantee the performance of the instrument

if calibrated with co-polymer styrenedivinylbenzene beads or other suspensions.

Prepare the StablCal standards

When received and at intervals:

1. Clean the exterior surface of the StablCal vials with laboratory glass

cleaning detergent.

2. Rinse the vials with distilled or deionized water.

3. Dry the vials with a lint-free cloth.

Note: Never shake or invert the < 0.1 NTU standard. If the standard has been

mixed or shaken, do not move the vial for 15 minutes or more before using.

Note: Do not remove the caps from the sealed vials.

Make sure that the StablCal standards are at ambient instrument

temperature before use (and no greater than 40 °C (104 °F)).

Mix the standards before use:

1. Open the case lid. Remove the < 0.1 NTU standard from the plastic

case.

2. Leave the other standards in the case. Close the case lid.

3. Shake the case vigorously for at least 10 seconds.

4. Let the standards stand with no movement for 3–5 minutes before

use.

Calibration notes

• Make sure that the instrument is in the same ambient conditions as

where it is used.

• Make sure that the standards are at the same ambient temperature as

the instrument before use.

• Use only the provided silicone oil. This silicone oil has the same

refractive index as the vial glass and masks minor glass differences

and scratches.

• Store the oiling cloth in a plastic storage bag to keep the cloth clean.

• If power is lost during calibration, the new calibration data is lost and

the last calibration data is used. To exit a calibration and not save the

new values, push UNITS/Exit.

English

• In Calibration mode, automatic range and signal averaging on are

selected. When calibration is completed, all operational modes go

back to the last settings.

• All nephelometric (turbidity units of measure) calibrations are done at

the same time.

• Ratio-on and Ratio-off calibration data is measured and recorded at

the same time.

• The 4000-NTU and 7500-NTU standards do not have to be measured

during calibration if FNUs will be measured. Push CAL/Zero after the

1000 NTU standard is measured to complete the calibration

procedure.

• The 7500-NTU standard does not have to be measured during

calibration if turbidity less than 4000 NTU will be measured. Push

CAL/Zero after the 4000 NTU standard is measured to complete the

calibration procedure.

• The FNU values of StablCal standards and formazin standards are

calculated using the conversion factors of 1 FNU = 1 NTU.

StablCal calibration procedure

1. Push CAL/Zero.

The CAL/Zero light

turns on, and the mode

display shows "00". The

NTU value of the

dilution water that was

StablCal standards storage

• Do not move a StablCal standard to a different container for storage.

Keep StablCal standards in the plastic case provided with the cover

closed.

• Store at 5 to 25 °C (41 to 77 °F).

• For long-term storage (more than one month between use), keep at

5 °C (41 °F).

Turbidity measurement

W A R N I N G

Potential explosion and fire hazard. This instrument is for measuring water based

samples. Do not measure solvent or combustible based samples.

For accurate turbidity readings use clean sample cells and remove air

bubbles.

Measurement notes

Proper measurement techniques are important in minimizing the effects

of instrument variation, stray light and air bubbles. For accurate and

repeatable measurements:

Instrument

• Make sure that the instrument is on a level, stationary surface that is

free of vibration during the measurement.

• Instrument stabilization is immediate. No warm-up time is necessary.

• Always close the sample compartment lid during measurement,

calibration and storage.

• Remove the sample cell from the instrument and turn off the

instrument if the instrument is stored for an extended time period

(more than a month).

• Keep the sample compartment lid closed to keep dust and dirt out.

Sample cells

• Always cap the sample cell to prevent spillage of the sample into the

instrument.

• Always use clean sample cells in good condition. Dirty, scratched or

damaged cells can result in readings that are not accurate.

• Make sure that cold samples do not “fog” the sample cell.

• Store sample cells filled with distilled or deionized water and cap

tightly.

English 13

• For the best accuracy, use a single sample cell for every

measurement or a flow cell.

Note: As an alternative, matched sample cells may be used for measurements but

do not provide as good of accuracy or precision as a single indexed sample cell or

flow cell. When using matched sample cells, align the orientation mark on the

sample cell with the reference mark on the sample cell holder.

Measurement

• Measure samples immediately to prevent temperature changes and

settling. Before a measurement is taken, always make sure that the

sample is homogeneous throughout.

• Avoid sample dilution when possible.

• Avoid instrument operation in direct sunlight.

Turbidity measurement procedure

1. Rinse a clean,

empty sample cell two

times with the solution

to be measured and

drain to waste. Fill to

the line (about 30 mL)

with sample and

immediately put the cap

on the sample cell.

2. Clean the sample

cells with a soft, lint-free

cloth to remove water

spots and fingerprints.

3. Apply a small bead

of silicone oil from the

top to the bottom of the

sample cells.

4. Use the oiling cloth

provided to apply the oil

equally to the surface of

the sample cells.

Remove the excess oil.

Make sure that the

sample cells are almost

dry.

5. Gently and slowly

invert the sample cell to

fully mix the sample. Be

careful not to add air

bubbles.

6. Put the sample cell

in the sample cell

holder with the triangle

on the sample cell

aligned with the

reference mark on the

sample cell holder.

Close the cover.

14 English

7. Read and record the

value when stable.

Note: To print or send

(via RS232) a

measurement record,

push PRINT.

Measurement techniques

Measurements may be made with different operation mode settings and

optional accessories.

Calibrate the instrument whenever the sample cell pathlength is

changed.

Manual or automatic ranging

The manufacturer recommends that ranging be set to automatic for most

measurements.

The setting can be changed at any time during sample measurement.

Push RANGE repeatedly to step the instrument from automatic ranging

to manual ranging and then scroll through the manual range settings.

"MANUAL" is shown above the Range Mode label on the instrument

when manual ranging is selected. "AUTO" is shown below the Range

Mode label on the instrument when automatic ranging is selected.

Notes:

• When manual ranging is selected, the display flashes all 9s when the

sample being measured is greater than the selected range. The

display flashes all 0s when the sample measured is less than the

selected range.

• When automatic ranging is selected, the display flashes 9s when the

sample is greater than the maximum range of the instrument. The

display flashes 9s when Ratio is off and the measurement is greater

than 40 NTUs (1000 FNUs or 9.8 EBCs). Turn Ratio on to increase

the range.

• When automatic ranging is selected, the display flashes all 0s when

the measurement is less than the range of the instrument (i.e., less

than 20 FAU) or a negative value. Calibrate the instrument. When

measuring absorbance or transmittance, set the zero reference point

again.

Signal averaging on or off

Signal averaging corrects for reading fluctuations that are caused by

random drifting particles in the sample. When signal averaging is on, an

average reading is calculated every 3 seconds and shown on the

display.

The manufacturer recommends that signal averaging be on for most

measurements.

Push SIGNAL AVG to turn signal averaging on or off. The SIGNAL AVG

light turns on when signal averaging is on.

English 15

Push ENTER when signal averaging is on to erase data in the signal

averaging buffer and provide an immediate update on the display as

necessary. This is especially useful when measuring samples with large

differences in turbidity.

To change the number of measurements that are used to calculate the

average reading (default=10):

1. Push SETUP. The SETUP light turns on.

2. Select 09 using the arrow keys.

3. Push ENTER.

4. Use the arrow keys to select the number of measurements—1 to 15.

Note: If a number greater than 15 is selected, 15 measurements will be used.

5. Push ENTER.

6. Push SETUP.

Ratio on or off

Ratio on provides very good linearity, calibration stability and a wide

measurement range. Ratio on helps correct for interference when color

is present in the sample that absorbs at the wavelength of incident light.

The manufacturer recommends that Ratio on be used for most

measurements. Ratio must be on to measure samples greater than

40 NTUs (9.8 EBCs).

Ratio can be turned on for NTU, EBC and ASC -1- and -2-

measurements.

Push RATIO to turn Ratio on or off. The Ratio light is on when Ratio is

on.

Notes:

• If the sample being measured is greater than 40 NTU (or equivalent)

and Ratio is off, the display will show 9s and the RATIO light will flash.

Push RATIO to turn Ratio on and remove the over-range condition.

• Measurements with Ratio on and measurements with Ratio off are

almost the same for turbidity measurements that are less than 40 NTU

if interferences caused by color or light absorbing particles are not

present.

Error Description Solution

ERR01 The turbidity of the

dilution water is greater

than 0.5 NTU.

Start the calibration again with lower turbidity

dilution water.

Note: Ignore ERR01 when the sample cell diameter

is less than 25 mm. Push UNITS/Exit to go back to

measurement mode.

ERR02

• Two calibration

standards have the

same value.

• The difference

between two

calibration standards

is less than

60.0 NTU.

• The turbidity of

Standard 1 is too

low (less than

10 NTU).

1. Inspect the preparation of standards.

2. Do the calibration again.

Note: Ignore ERR02 when the sample cell diameter

is less than 25 mm. Push UNITS/Exit to go back to

measurement mode.

ERR03 Low light error

1. Put the sample in the instrument again.

2. Make sure that the lamp icon light is on.

3. Make sure that an object is not in the

Delete calibration data

To delete any calibration data entered by the user:

1. Turn off the instrument.

2. Push and hold CAL/Zero.

3. Turn on the instrument.

The CAL? light flashes. The instrument starts in Calibration mode.

4. Calibrate the instrument before use.

Flashing 9s

When manual ranging is selected, the display will flash all 9s when the

sample being measured is greater than the selected range.

When automatic ranging is selected, the display will flash 9s when the

sample is greater than the maximum range of the instrument. The

display will also flash 9s if Ratio is off and the measurement is greater

than 40 NTUs (1000 FNUs or 9.8 EBCs). Turn Ratio on.

Flashing 0s

When manual ranging is selected, the display will flash all 0s when the

sample measured is less than the selected range.

English

When automatic ranging is selected, the display will flash all 0s when the

measurement is less than the range of the instrument (i.e., less than

20 FAU) or a negative value. Calibrate the instrument.

• When measuring absorbance or transmittance, set the zero reference

point again.

• When measuring absorbance, make sure that the reading is positive.

To measure samples with negative absorbance, set the analytical

zero using the sample with the greatest absorbance and read the

sample with the least absorbance. Record the reading as negative

absorbance.
