Specifications
Measurement technology: Primary nephelometric scatter detection (90°)
Turbidity Range: 0 to 1000 NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units)
Resolution: Measures turbidity as low as 0.01 NTU (0 to 9.99 NTU), 0.1 NTU (10 to 99.9
NTU), 1 NTU (100 to 1000 NTU)
Accuracy: Reads within +-2% of the displayed value or 0.02 NTU, (whichever is greater), with additional consideration of stray light across the entire range.
Repeatability: Consistent readings of +-1% of displayed value or 0.01 NTU, (whichever is greater).
Stray Light: < 0.02 NTU
Temperature Compensation: Get accurate results with ambient Temperature & LED Self Heating compensation.
Detection: Silicon Photodiode x 2 (90° scatter & 180° attenuated measurement)
Light Source:
For ISO7027: LED with wavelength of 860 nm (830 -890nm FWHM) for infrared light source
For EPA 180.1: White LED light source
Response Time: Quick response with <7 seconds for readings (in normal reading mode)
Power Supply: Rechargeable lithium-ion cell for long lifespan, fast charging, and low maintenance, making it ideal for portable applications.
Battery Life: 2500 sequential tests in one charge (full backlight & Wi-Fi Active)
Battery Health: Retains 75% of original capacity after 500 charge cycles

Weight: Easily to carry - 650 grams
Material: The extrusion consists of a blend of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Polycarbonate (PC), and Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), while the Source of Illumination Chamber (SOC) is made of Polypropylene (PP) for its superior reflective properties.
Sample Cell & Volume: Accommodates standard 25 mm diameter sample vials and requires only 10mL of sample for measurement.
User Interface: Intuitive, multi-lingual on-screen instructions for a seamless user experience. Projected Capacitive Touch for use with wet and gloved hands.
Ambient Light Protection: Closed cap design to minimize interference from external light during measurement.
Reading Mode: Three modes to support various testing needs- Normal Mode: Reads turbidity in approximately 7 seconds
Average Mode: Takes multiple measurements, averaging results for samples with changing turbidity
Repeat Mode: Continuously measures turbidity and supports sample tube indexing.
Software Update: Drag and drop firmware update capability.
