Keep the Power off during

installation and wiring

operations.

•

Do not apply strong impact or excessive force

to the TC-Mi unit.

1 For safe use

•Please thoroughly read the “For safe use” before using the

TC-Mi properly.

•Because these precautions are related to failure or malfunction,

observe the precautions for use without fail.

Be sure to read this instruction manual in order

to use the Turbidity Checker TC-Mi properly.

Use the Turbidity Checker only for measurement of

water quality.

In order to use the TC-Mi properly, observe the following precautions.

Precautions which are the cause of failure:

" " denotes "Prohibited action", and " " denotes "Required action".

•

Do not disassemble or modify the product.

•

Turn off the Power immediately in the unlikely

event that there occur any abnormalities such

as smoke or abnormal noise. Otherwise it may

cause fire or an electric shock.

•

Do not wipe the product

with solvent. It may cause

failure.

•

To clean the product, first

wipe away lightly with a

clean soft cloth damped

by diluted mild detergent

solution and then wipe off

moisture with a dry clean

soft cloth.

Caution

Fasten the cover fastening screws surely. If these screws are loose, turbidity

might not be measured correctly due to the light entered in the measurement

bath or dust mixed in the measurement water.

Screws for fixing the cover

Caution

•

Do not apply strong impact or excessive force to the joint. Otherwise, it may damage the

joint, as well as may cause crush, rupture, or disconnection of the tube.

•Water temperature must be between 0 and 40ºC.

•The unit must be isolated not to damage other machines or equipment in case of

water leakage.

•Use insert rings if necessary. To determine whether to insert rings or not, check the

specification of the tube. Selection of insert rings unmatched to the specification of

the tube may cause tube coming-off and water leakage.

•Follow the precautions below when attaching the tube.

- The cutting section must be right angle.

- Outer circumference must have no damage.

- The tube must not be shaped like an ellipse.

- The tube must be fully inserted to the end.

- Ensure that the tube is securely inserted and cannot come off after attached.

Turbidity Checker TC-Mi uses a method of 90 degree scattered light. In

this method, a light source illuminates the surfaces of matter suspended

in the water, and the light is scattered by these surfaces is detected by

a photo element installed at an angle of 90 degrees from the light axis

of the measured light. The turbidity is determined by the amount of the

scattered light.

Installing TC-Mi unit

•

The signal output cable and the power cable

must not be bound together or put in the same

cable clamps.

•

The TC-Mi unit must be installed at the place

which is well-ventilated, and is not exposed to

direct sunlight.

4 Installation

Before installation, remove the cable from the power

supply, and after completion, wire the power supply

cable.

denotes "Prohibited action" denotes "Required action"

•

For wiring the unit, use the bundled cable

clamps.

•

Securely tighten the panel fixing screws. When

the screws are loose, sufficient protection

cannot be obtained.

• Make sure that TC-Mi is not

energized before installing

and wiring.

Turn OFF the power switch.

Disconnect the power cable

from the outlet.

Otherwise, it could result in

fire, electric shock, and

damage.

Keep the Power off during

installation and wiring

operations.

Do not use.

The standard substance of the calibration curve can be selected.

To select formazin, turn OFF SW5.

To select polystyrene, turn ON SW5.

If polystyrene is selected, 度is set for the turbidity unit automatically.

The measurement range can be

selected.

Do not use.

Fine adjustment of lower limit 4 mA and upper limit 20 mA of analog signal

output can be made.

1) Turn ON SW2.

As confirming the reading of the connected equipment such as a recorder,

use the up and down buttons

▼▲

to fine-adjust the 4 mA lower limit.

3) Turn OFF SW2.

4) Turn ON SW3.

As confirming the reading of the connected equipment such as a recorder,

use the up and down buttons

▼▲

to fine-adjust the 20 mA lower limit.

6) Turn OFF SW3.

Caution

Make the fine adjustment of lower limit 4 mA firstly. And then make the

fine adjustment of upper limit 20 mA. Otherwise the value of the upper

limit 20 mA cannot be adjusted accurately.

Pass water until the water level becomes a certain.

If the water is overflowing from the measuring tank, check the measured water flow rate

and the clogging of the outlet.

Check the displayed measurement value to see if the measurement water is in stable

condition.

Attaching the cover

Checking the measurement value

Attach the cover by using screws (see page 6, "How to open/close the cover").

Caution

When passing the water for the first time, it may take time until the measurement

value becomes stable. Clean the measurement tank and the Deaerator as needed.

Checking water level

Caution

Fasten the cover fastening screws surely. If these screws are loose, turbidity might

not be measured correctly due to the light entered in the measurement bath or dust

mixed in the measurement water.

6 Operation

Setting

Measurement value is displayed after the unit is activated.

Each time the button is pressed, the setting item is changed.

Press and hold the button for 2 seconds or more to check or change the

setting.

Use the button to change the setting value. Pressing and holding the
