Section 1: System Description

Function and Theory

Geotech's Portable Turbidity Meter offers great precision, repeatability and ease of use in

a low cost extremely robust portable/laboratory instrument. Data points from field sample

events can be stored to memory and transferred to computer or other storage device.

Turbidity Meters provide fluid clarity insight by shining light onto a sample and measuring

the amount of light scattered by suspended particles in the fluid.

The Geotech Portable Turbidity Meter has two light source models to fulfill specific

customer and site requirements:

Model GTW: White Light source, compliant to US EPA method 180.1

Model GTI: Infrared light source, compliant to ISO 7027 standards

Instrument Features

Sample chamber with lid

Data port/ power supply (serial

output, USB to Mini-B cable not

included)

Sealed battery compartment (4x AA

batteries)

IP67 Seal for extension into

hazardous environments

Digital display and navigation keypad

System Components

Economy carry case included,

optional custom foam cut case

available

Lint-free cleaning cloth

2 sample vials

Primary Calibration Standards: 0.10,

20, 100, 800 NTU

Figure 1-1: Instrument Features

Section 2: System Installation & Navigation

Install the battery

1. With a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the battery cover (located on the backside

of the instrument).

Take care to keep the small screws and washers safe when removing the

battery cover.

2. Install four (4) AA alkaline or nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.

Make sure that batteries are installed in the correct orientation.

3. Replace the battery cover.

For optimal seal, we recommend using a torque screwdriver set to 4N-m.

Sample Vial Handling

When placing the vials into the instrument, ensure that

the white line on the sample vial is aligned with the black

arrow on the bottom edge of the instrument’s sample

chamber.

The sample vials must be very clean while calibrating or

doing field readings; no debris or fingerprints should be

visible on the glass. Use a soft cleaning cloth to ensure

clarity before each measurement. Do no store samples

and vial in extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.

Figure 2-1: Replacing the batteries

Handle calibration and sample vials by caps only. Any scratches on the

vials will compromise accurate turbidity readings.
