Section 5 Operation
5.1 Configuration
To change the turbidimeter and/or sensor(s) measurement units, measurement interval, calibration
interval or other settings, refer to the turbidimeter and/or sensor user manuals.
To change the measurements that show on the home screen or the analog output settings, refer to
the SC1000 Controller User Manual.
5.2 Calibration
When necessary, do calibration verifications with standard solutions to identify if a turbidimeter
and/or sensor(s) calibration is necessary. Refer to the turbidimeter and/or sensor user manuals for
instructions.
As an alternative, use another instrument to measure a grab sample from the instrument to identify if
turbidimeter and/or sensor calibration is necessary. Refer to
Refer to the turbidimeter and/or sensor user manuals for calibration instructions and schedules.
5.3 Take a grab sample
When necessary, take a grab sample from the instrument.
1. Slowly turn the manual sample valve (Q7-V1) to open. Refer to
2. Flush the grab sample outlet for at least 5 seconds.
3. Collect a grab sample with a clean container.
4. Turn the manual sample valve (Q7-V1) to closed.
5.4 Data and event logs
The controller provides access to a data log and event log for each instrument connected to the
controller. The controller automatically saves turbidimeter and sensor measurements to the data log
at the selected intervals. The event log shows the events that have occurred.
Refer to the controller user manual to download the data log and/or event log. The data log is an
XML file that can be saved in CSV or Excel format. The event log and service log are files in CSV
format.
Section 6 Maintenance
6.1 Maintenance schedule
Table 5
shows the recommended schedule of maintenance tasks. Facility requirements and
operating conditions may increase the frequency of some tasks.
Important: Refer to the turbidimeter and sensor user manuals for additional maintenance schedules
and maintenance instructions.
Note: The maintenance recommendations that follow are applicable to exhaust gas scrubbing applications in
maritime. Different maintenance intervals may be necessary for different scrubber types, fuel types, etc.
