2. Overview
The Micro 1000 process turbidimeter allows you to measure the turbidity of your process water.
The White Light Micro 1000 has been designed to meet the design criteria specified by the US EPA
on turbidity measurement. The Infra-Red Micro 1000 (Micro 1000 IR) was designed to meet the
design criteria specified in ISO 7027 and DIN 27027 for the measurement of the turbidity of a
sample.
2.1.Unpacking and Inspection of the Instrument and Accessories
The table below indicates the items that you should find in your turbidimeter shipment.
Remove the Calibration Kit (Cardboard box), the Package of 3 Cuvettes and the instrument from the
packing carton. Carefully inspect all items to ensure that no visible damage has occurred during
shipment. If the items you received do not match your order, please contact your local distributor or
the HF scientific, inc. Customer Service department immediately.
ITEM Quantity
Laboratory Turbidimeter 1
Calibration Kit for the MICRO 1000 1
3 Pack of Cuvettes 1
MICRO 1000 Instruction Manual 1
Power Supply 1
Note: Extra care should be taken when unpacking, opening, and handling the calibration standards
and sample cuvettes in the Accessory Kit; surface scratches or finger smudges on the cuvette
surface may cause measurement errors. Handle these items by the top area of the cuvette only.

2.2.User Interface
The user interface of the instrument is designed with a 6 key touch pad and a single user display.
The six keys of the touch pad and their functionality are described below. Figures 1a and 1b are
depictions of the front and rear views of the instrument.

The ON/OFF key ( ) key is used to turn the instrument ON or OFF. The enter key ( ) is used
to accept information. The up and down arrow keys (SandT) are used to set and reset numerical
values and to change instrument modes. The left and right arrow keys (◄and►) are used to scroll
through lists. In addition, the rear panel of the instrument is designed to provide ready access to the
power plug connector, the RS-232 serial port and the dry air purge connector.
Figure 2 illustrates all the items that can appear on the display. The upper row of the display (1) is
used for reporting the turbidity levels and to provide user guidance in the customer setting routine.
The lower row of the display (2) is used to communicate error messages and user guidance. The
display has several status indicators (3) that distinguish the operation of the instrument. In addition
there are several indicators that display the different scales (4) that the instrument will report. Other
indicators (5) provide guidance when the setup and calibration routines are being used.
3. Safety
This manual contains basic instructions that you must follow during the commissioning, operation,
care and maintenance of the instrument. The safety protection provided by this equipment may be
impaired if it is commissioned and/or used in a manner not described in this manual. Consequently,
all responsible personnel must read this manual prior to working with this instrument.
Figure 2 – Display used in the instrument. All items that
are used on the display are shown in this figure
The instrument has a time-out feature that automatically returns the system operation to the normal
operation mode from any other mode after a five (5) minute period of inactivity.
Ensure that the instrument has been turned off prior to removing power from the instrument.
In certain instances WARNINGS, Notes, or helpful hints, have been highlighted to give further
clarification to the instructions. Refer to the Table of Contents to easily find specific topics and to
