5. Setup

5.1 Installazzjoni tal-batterija

The meter operates on six DC 1.5 V AAA (UM4) batteries. To install or replace batteries:

1. Sib l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija fuq wara tal-miter.
2. Open the cover and insert six AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-).
3. Agħlaq l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija sew.

5.2 Qawwa Inizjali

Agħfas il- QAWWA button to turn on the meter. The LCD display will illuminate and show a brief self-test before entering measurement mode.

6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

6.1 Preparing a Sample

1. Ensure the empty testing bottle (cuvette) is clean and dry. Wipe the exterior with a lint-free cloth.
2. Fill the testing bottle with the water sample to be measured. Avoid air bubbles.
3. Securely cap the bottle.

6.2 Teħid ta 'Kejl

1. Iftaħ is-sample compartment lid on the top of the meter.

4. Agħfas il- TEST/CAL button to initiate a measurement. The turbidity reading will appear on the LCD display.

6.3 Funzjoni ta' Żamma tad-Data

Biex tiffriża l-qari attwali fuq id-displej, agħfas il-buttuna ŻOMM button. Press it again to release and resume live measurement.

6.4 Memory Recall (MAX/MIN)

The meter can record and recall the maximum and minimum turbidity readings:

• Agħfas il- REC button once to display the maximum recorded value.
• Agħfas il- REC button again to display the minimum recorded value.
• Agħfas il- REC button a third time to exit memory recall mode.

6.5 Itfi Awtomatiku

The meter features an auto shut-off function to conserve battery life. If no button is pressed for a certain period, the meter will automatically power off. This can be manually overridden by pressing the QAWWA buttuna biex itfi l-apparat.

7. Kalibrazzjoni

The TU-2016 features a three-point push-button calibration system. Regular calibration ensures the accuracy of your measurements. Use the provided 0 NTU and 10 NTU standard solutions for calibration.

1. Ixgħel il-meter.
2. Insert the 0 NTU standard solution into the sample kompartiment.
3. Agħfas u żomm il- TEST/CAL button until the calibration mode is indicated on the display. Follow the on-screen prompts to calibrate the 0 NTU point.
4. Remove the 0 NTU solution and insert the 10 NTU standard solution.
5. Repeat the calibration process for the 10 NTU point.
6. The third calibration point (if applicable) can be performed similarly with a higher NTU standard solution if available and required for your specific application.
7. After successful calibration, the meter will return to measurement mode.

Note: Refer to the Factory Calibration Certificate for details on the initial calibration performed by the manufacturer.
