SECTION 2, continued
Preparing the 20, 100 and 800 FNU standards
2.4.3 Calibrating the Turbidimeter
NOTES
• If the I/O key is pressed during calibration, the new calibration data
is lost and the old calibration will be used for measurements. Once
in calibration mode, only the
READ, I/O, UP, and RIGHT keys function.
Signal averaging and range mode must be selected before entering
the calibration mode.
