Appendix I: Installing the Flow Cap
Introduction
The Flow Cap (P/N: 2300-700) for the
C3 Submersible Fluorometer enables
flow through mode. The Flow Cap will
allow the C3 Submersible Fluorometer
to be configured with other
instruments used in flow through
systems.
The C3 Flow Cap 1) provides
elimination of other light sources that
may interfere with sensor
measurements, 2) protects sensors
from damage during deployment or
transport and 3) helps limit biofouling.
The Flow Cap can be installed on C3
Submersible Fluorometers with or
without the mechanical wiper.
The Flow Cap can also be used as a
calibration cup for C3 sensors using
standard calibration solutions. See
following page for calibration cup use.
Features
Installation Instructions
1) Turning clockwise, fully hand
tighten the Flow Cap housing onto
the C3 Submersible Fluorometer.
The port located on the Flow Cap
Housing should be closest to the
optical head.
2) Turning clockwise, hand tighten
the End Cap onto the Flow Cap
Housing until it is fully tightened.
3) Flow Cap installation is complete.

NOTE: The End Cap comes with an installed
O-Ring that should not be removed or
sealing will be compromised.
NOTE: For optimal
use, Turner Designs
recommends
positioning the C3
unit vertically when
the Flow Cap is
installed. This will
purge any air from
the system that
might cause
skewed readings.
