Operation
Inserting a cell
Before using a cell for the first time, determine and mark the suitable
measuring position for the cell (see PREPARING THE CELL, page 9).
Inserting a 28 mm
cell
Preparing the cell and sample
Preparing the cell Even completely clean quality cells exhibit tiny differences in their light trans-
mittance, e.g. inhomogeneities of the glass or small defects (e.g. scratches).
Therefore, guidelines for accurate and reproducible measurements (e.g. US
EPA) recommend that you always align the cell in the same way for
1 Push the dust cover (1) upward.
The cell shaft for 28 mm cells is open.

2 Insert the marked cell so that it is positioned on the bottom of
the cell shaft.
3 Align the cell marking (3) with the marking (4) of the cell shaft.
The cell is ready to be measured.

measuring with the aid of arrows printed on or markings. This refers to
sample cells and cells for calibration standards.
Prior to using a cell for the first time, the suitable position of the cell in the cell
shaft is determined and marked to make sure the optical path is not
disturbed. For the following measurements, the cell marking can just be
aligned with the meter marking.
The cell marking should be checked regularly and renewed as necessary.
The cell can be used until no suitable position for the optical path can be
found.
Determining a
suitable position in
the cell shaft
Marking a cell
Preparing the
sample
Air bubbles in the sample affect the measuring result to a massive extent
because they have a large scattering effect on the incident light. Larger air
bubbles cause sudden changes in the measured values whereas smaller air
bubbles are recorded by the instrument as turbidity. Therefore, avoid or
remove air bubbles:
We recommend that you do not treat any scratches in the cell
with oily liquids (not even with so-called "special silicone oils").
They could unnecessarily soil the meter and your working envi-
ronment. The optimum measurement accuracy is ensured by
aligning the cells. Scratched cells have to be replaced.
1 Clean the cell.
2 Stick the label for the marking onto the cell cap.
3 Fill the cell with a homogeneous solution (e.g. calibration standard
10.0 NTU).
4 Insert the cell.
5Press and hold the <START/ENTER (.) > key.
Turn the cell slowly and check the measured value:
– The measured value at the position should be no maximum.
– At the directly neighboring positions there should not be any
sudden changes of the measured values. The deviations of
measured values at the neighboring positions should not
exceed the following values:
Measured value < 1 NTU: max. +/- 0.02 NTU
Measured value > 1 NTU: max. +/- 2 %
6 Release the <START/ENTER (.) > key.
Measurement starts. The measured value is displayed.
7 Mark the determined position (aligning) of the cell on the label.
The cell is now prepared for all following measuring and calibration
actions.

Turb®750 T Operation

ba77234e04 07/2022
During sampling, ensure all movement is kept to a minimum
If necessary, vent the sample (ultrasonic baths, heating or adding a sur-
face-active substance to reduce the surface tension)
Measuring the turbidity
NOTE
Never pour any liquids directly into the cell shaft. Always use a cell for
measurement. The meter only measures precisely if the cell is closed
with the black light protection cap and aligned with the marking of the
measuring position determined.
For quick and easy measuring we recommend that you use marked cells (see
PREPARING THE CELL, page 9).
If your cells are not marked you can determine the suitable position of the
individual cells in the cell shaft while measuring.
The outside of the cell always has to be clean, dry, and free of
fingerprints and scratches. Clean the cells before starting to
measure (see CLEANING THE CELLS, page 15). Only hold the cells
by the top or by the black light protection cap.
With turbidity values under 1 FNU/NTU, the measured value is
strongly influenced by the cell and its alignment.
To increase measurement accuracy with turbidity values under 1
FNU/NTU, calibration in the 0.02 FNU/NTU standard and later
measurement should take place in the same cell.
1 Clean the cell (see CLEANING THE CELLS, page 15).
2 Rinse the cell:
Pour approximately 10 ml sample into the cell. Close the cell and
rotate it several times before throwing the sample away.
3 Repeat the rinsing procedure twice more.
4 Fill the cell with the sample to be measured (approx. 15 ml). Close
the cell with the black light protection cap.
5 Insert the cell.
6 Align the marking on the cell cap with the marking at the cell shaft.
or
Determine the suitable position of the cell in the cell shaft (see
DETERMINING A SUITABLE POSITION IN THE CELL SHAFT, page 10).
7 Press the <START/ENTER (.) > key.
Measurement starts. The measured value is displayed.

Intelligent
reproducibility and
plausibility check
(IRPC)
With the intelligent reproducibility and plausibility check (IRCP) a multiple
measurement is carried out, evaluated and, by eliminating the outliers, the
plausible measured value is indicated on the display.
The intelligent reproducibility and plausibility check (IRPC) is active with all
measurements. It is displayed in the upper status line [IRPC].
Calibration
When to calibrate? Routinely within the framework of the company quality assurance
When the calibration interval has expired
With a temperature change
Preparing the
calibration
For quick and easy measuring we recommend that you use marked cells with
the calibration standards (see PREPARING THE CELL, page 9).
If your cells are not marked you can determine the suitable position of the
individual cells in the cell shaft while measuring.
Perform the following preparatory activities when you want to calibrate:
The measured value is automatically output to the inter-
faces (= AutoPrint).

ba77234e04 07/2022
Cleaning Occasionally wipe the outside of the measuring instrument with a damp, lint-
free cloth. Disinfect the housing with isopropanol as required.
NOTE
The housing components are made of synthetic materials (polyure-
thane, ABS and PMMA). Thus, avoid contact with acetone and similar
detergents that contain solvents. Remove any splashes immediately.
Cleaning the cell
shaft
If liquid is in the cell shaft (e.g. due to a spilled cell), clean the cell shaft as
follows:
Cleaning the cells Cells have to be clean, dry, and free of fingerprints and scratches. Therefore,
clean them regularly:
3 Close the battery compartment (1).
4 Set the date and time
1 Switch the Turb®750 T off and pull out the power plug.
2 Rinse the cell shaft with distilled water.
1 Clean the cells inside and out with hydrochloric acid or laboratory
soap.
2 Rinse several times with distilled water.
3 Let them dry in the air.
4 Only hold the cells by the top or by the light protection cap so that the
optical path is not impaired.
5 Before measuring, clean the cell with the enclosed cleaning cloth.
Scratches in the glass change the optical characteristics of the
cell and falsify the measured value. For this reason, never use
scratched cells!
