Types of verifications
Wet or dry standards can be used to do calibration verifications.
To do a wet standard verification, refer to
wet standard on page 12.
To do a dry standard verification, refer to
use on page 12 and then either:
• Verification with a dry standard and software
to instruments with dry standard software.
• Verification with a dry standard without software
Applies to instruments that do not have dry standard software.
Verification procedure with a wet standard
Wet standard verification is done using 1 L of StablCal Stabilized
Formazin Certified Standard (0–5500 mNTU) for this instrument . Do not
use other standards. Do not use user-prepared formazin.
Note: For the best verification results, clean the instrument before doing a wet
standard verification. Refer to Clean the instrument
Note: On the sc controller, there is no option to set the pass or fail criteria (PFC)
for a wet verification. The default PFC is ± 50 mNTU (0.050 NTU) or 5% of the
reading, whichever is greater.
1. From the Main menu, select Sensor Setup, [Select Sensor],
Calibrate, Verification, Perform Ver.
2. Select the available Output Mode (Active, Hold or Transfer) from the
