D A N G E R
Chemical or biological hazards. If this instrument is used to monitor a treatment process and/or
chemical feed system for which there are regulatory limits and monitoring requirements related to
public health, public safety, food or beverage manufacture or processing, it is the responsibility of the
user of this instrument to know and abide by any applicable regulation and to have sufficient and
appropriate mechanisms in place for compliance with applicable regulations in the event of malfunction
of the instrument.
The TU5300 sc and the TU5400 sc turbidimeters are used with an SC controller to measure low-
range turbidity mostly in finished drinking water applications. Refer to Figure 1.
The TU5300 sc and the TU5400 sc turbidimeters measure scattered light at an angle of 90° in a 360°
radius around the axis of the incident light beam.
An optional RFID module and an automatic system check option are available4. The RFID module is
shown in Figure 1. The RFID module lets process and laboratory turbidity measurements be easily
compared. A description of the automatic system check option is given in the expanded user manual
on the manufacturer's website.
PROGNOSYS predictive diagnostic software is available for the TU5300 sc and TU5400 sc
turbidimeters. To use PROGNOSYS, connect the turbidimeter to an SC controller with
PROGNOSYS.
Videos on how to install, operate and do maintenance and troubleshooting on the TU5300 sc and the
TU5400 sc turbidimeters are available on the TU5 Series Turbidimeters playlist at

Plumbing
Plumb the instrument
WARNING
Explosion hazard. Make sure that the drain tube is free of all obstructions. If the drain tube has a
blockage or is pinched or bent, high pressure can build up in the instrument.
WARNING
Personal injury hazard. The sample line contains water under high water pressure that can burn skin if
hot. Qualified personnel must remove the water pressure and wear personal protective equipment
during this procedure.
N O T I C E
Do not let water get in the vial compartment or instrument damage will occur. Before the process head is installed
on the instrument, make sure that there are no water leaks. Make sure that all tubing is fully seated. Make sure
that the vial nut is tight.
N O T I C E
Before the instrument is plumbed, make sure that the desiccant cartridge and vial are installed.
Items supplied by the user:
• Flow shutoff valve
English 17

• Tubing6
• Tubing cutter
1. Plumb the instrument. Refer to the illustrated steps that follow and Figure 6.
Note: To plumb the instrument with accessories, refer to the documentation supplied with the accessories.
2. If a service bracket is not installed near the instrument, do the steps that follow:
a. Do not do illustrated steps 1 and 2.
b. Do illustrated steps 3 and 4 with the process head on the instrument.
c. Before step 5, remove the process head from the instrument.
d. Hold the process head so that it is not above the instrument or put the process head on the
optional process head holder.

Set the flow rate
1. Measure the flow with the flow regulator fully open. Make sure that the flow is in the middle of the
flow specification. Refer to Specifications on page 3.
2. Slowly close the flow regulator until the flow decreases by 20 to 30%.
Note: The flow regulator causes back pressure in the tubing and decreases the quantity of bubbles that can
form in the vial.
