PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION

LP 2000 is a bench microprocessor-based meter used to determine

the turbidity of water and wastewater. The meter covers the 0 to

1000 FTU* range with 0.01 resolution from 0.00 to 50.00 FTU* and

in single digits from 50 to 1000 FTU*. It also auto-ranges between

the two scales.

Note: LP 2000 has been designed according to the ISO 7027

International Standard. The turbidity measurement unit

is FTU (Formazine Turbidity Unit), which is identical to

NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Unit).

The meter is housed in a rugged and lightweight case, with an easy-

to-read LCD.

The meter is simple to use: all operations can be carried out with only

four keys and troubleshooting functions can be performed with error

codes on the display. An exclusive positive-locking system guarantees

that the cuvette is firmly placed in the cell. The keypad is water-

resistant and can be wiped clean.

Calibration at 10 FTU* can be easily performed using the supplied

standard. In addition, LP 2000 is the first bench turbidity meter

that allows the storage and retrieval of the last calibration date.

10 FTU* was chosen as the calibration point because its value best

fits the water turbidity measurements in a wide range of applications,

from drinking water to wastewater treatment.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

* 1 FTU = 1 NTU

Hanna Instruments uses the primary standard AMCO-AEPA-1 to

avoid all formazine-related problems. Formazine is a toxic, unstable

substance, which requires particular care. Calibration requiring formazine

standards must be preformed immediately after preparation of the

standards. Formazine standards may not be reused because of their

short life. LP 2000 standards are extremely stable and have a shelf

life of up to six months. Uncontaminated standards may be reused.

LP 2000 can be used with both AMCO-AEPA and formazine stan-

dards.

FTU is equal to the NTU. However, other known measurements

include: Jackson Turbidity Unit or JTU (based on the old method of

Jackson's candle), and Silica Unit in mg/L of SiO2. See the conversion

table below for these units:

JTU FTU/NTU SiO2 (mg/L)

JTU 1 19 2.5

FTU /NTU 0.053 1 0.13

SiO2 (mg / L) 0.4 7.5 1

MEASURE UNITS

LP 2000 has been designed to perform measurements according to

the ISO 7027 International Standards.

The instrument functions by passing a beam of infrared light through

a vial containing the sample being measured.

The light source is a High Emission Infrared LED with a wavelength

peaking at 890 nm, which reduces interference caused by colored

samples to a minimum.

A sensor, positioned at 90° with respect to the direction of light,

detects the amount of light scattered by the undissolved particles

present in the sample. The microprocessor converts such readings into

FTU values.

POWER CONNECTION

Plug the supplied 12 Vdc adapter into the DC socket (see page 5).

Plug the adapter to the mains.

Note: Insure the main line is fuse protected.

Note: Always turn the meter off before unplugging it to ensure no

data is lost.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

•Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.

•The meter will first perform an LCD self

diagnostic test by displaying a full set of

figures. It will then switch to the measure-

ment mode.

•When the LCD displays “----”, the meter is

ready.

•Fill a clean cuvette up to 0.5 cm (1/4’’)

from its rim with the thoroughly agitated

sample.

•Allow sufficient time for bubbles to escape

before securing the cap.

Note: Do not overtighten the cap.

•Wipe the cuvette thoroughly with

a lint-free tissue (HI 93703-70)

before inserting the cuvette into

the measurement cell. The cuvette

must be completely free of finger

marks, oil or dirt, especially in the

area where the light passes

through, i.e. approximately the

bottom 2 cm (3/4” inch) of the

cuvette.

•Place the cuvette into the holder

and check that the notch on the

cap is positioned securely into the

groove.

SPECIFICATIONS

TIPS TO OBTAIN BEST ACCURACY

•Each time the cuvette is used, tighten the cap to the same

degree.

•Discard the sample immediately after the reading is taken to

prevent permanent clouding of the glass.

•All glassware used to contain the standards and the samples

should be kept clean, washed with HI 93703-50 cleaning

solution and rinsed with HI 93703-0 or turbidity-free water.

• Samples should be collected in clean glass or plastic bottles with

appropriate stoppers. Analysis should be performed shortly after.

If the sample requires storage, it should be kept in a cool dark

place. Stored samples should be restored to room temperature

prior to analysis. Samples may not be stored for longer than 24

hours.

• To obtain a representative sample, gently and thoroughly, stir

the solution. To prevent air bubbles from forming do not shake or

let the solution settle prior to sampling.

• Monthly calibration of the meter, using HI 93703-10 @ 10 FTU

standard is recommended.

•Before inserting cuvettes into the instru-

ment, wipe them with HI 93703-70 or a

soft, lint-free tissue. Handle vials so that

no fingerprints are left on the areas where

light passes through, i.e. the bottom 2 cm

(3/4”) of the cuvette.

If you experience any problems in taking measurements, please

contact your dealer or the nearest Hanna Customer Service Depart-

ment.

SOURCES OF INTERFERENCE

•The presence of floating debris and coarse sediments which may

settle rapidly will give false readings.

•The infrared light source of LP 2000 can effectively minimize

errors due to colored substances found dissolved in solution. This

“True Color” effect is the most common interference found in

commercial instruments operating in the visible light range.

•Air bubbles and the effect of vibrations that disturb the surface of

the sample may produce false results.

•Dirty, scratched, or etched glassware will also affect readings.

• The mark on the cuvette cap should point

towards the keyboard.

•Press the READ/key and the LCD will display an intermittent

“SIP” (Sampling In Process).

•The turbidity value will appear after ap-

proximately half a minute.

• Though LP 2000 covers a wide turbidity range, highly accurate

readings exceeding 40 FTU require dilution as recommended by

the Standard Methods.

Use the formula below to calculate the amount of HI 93703-0 or

turbidity-free water needed for accurate dilution.

The total volume = 100 mL.

Vos = 3000 / T

where:

Vos = volume of original sample (mL) to be added to HI 93703-0

to obtain the total diluted volume of 100 mL.

T = LP 2000 reading (exceeding 40 FTU)

E.g.: LP 2000 reading = 200 FTU

3000 / 200 = 15 mL (Vos)

15 mL (Vos)+85 mL (HI 93703-0) = 100 mL

At this point, take a sample of this diluted solution and measure its

turbidity.

The correct turbidity value of the original sample is derived by:

Ta= Tn x 100 mL / Vos

where:

Ta= actual turbidity value of the original sample

Tn= LP 2000 reading of the diluted solution

E.g. If Tn= 27

Ta= 27 x 100 mL / 15 mL = 180 FTU

1110

Calibration is recommended at least once a month. You can verify the

instrument calibration by comparing the display reading against the

supplied standard solution at 10 FTU. To check the date of the last

calibration, simply hold the DATE/ key down for a few seconds.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

•Turn the meter on and wait for the display

to show "----".

•Press the CAL key once. "CAL" will blink on the display for approx.

6 seconds, allowing for confirmation.

•While "CAL" is still blinking, press CAL again (otherwise, it exits

this mode). "CL" will appear on the lower part of the display.

•The date of calibration may now be edited

by simply pressing the DATE/ key. The

default parameter, which is the month

segment found on the left, will blink. To

scroll to the correct number, press the

READ/skey. To toggle between month

and the day display segments, press the

DATE/ key. The day segment can also

be edited with the READ/skey.

•To confirm the displayed values and to proceed, press CAL once

more. An intermittent "ZERO" will appear on the LCD.

CALIBRATION •Using the HI 93703-0 bottle containing

the ZERO FTU Standard (or turbidity-free

water), fill the measurement cuvette and

secure the cap.

Note: To minimize error caused by the cu-

vette, it is recommended to use the

same cuvette for calibration and mea-

surement.

•Insert cuvette into the holder.

• Press CAL. An intermittent “SIP” indicates that the instrument is

being calibrated.

• After approximately 1 minute, the instru-

ment will ask for the HI 93703-10

standard solution @ 10 FTU by display-

ing “10.0”.

•Refill the cuvette with the HI 93703-10

AMCO-AEPA-1 standard at 10 FTU and

place it into the measurement cell

•After the second calibration point (10

FTU) has been accepted, the meter will

display “500”, asking for the 500 FTU

solution to be placed in the cuvet holder.

Note: At this point the user can exit the calibration mode and save

the two-point calibration by pressing READ.

To perform a three-point calibration, place the 500 FTU standard

solution in the cuvet holder.

•Press CAL: “SIP” and “CL” will start

blinking.

•After approximately 30 seconds, the dis-

play will show "----".

Now the meter is calibrated and ready for use.

LP 2000 displays several different codes and messages to help the

user to operate the meter more efficiently.

This indicates that the meter is in a ready

state and measurement or calibration can be

performed.

This indicates that the calibration mode is

active. If the CAL key is not pressed within 6

seconds, the meter will automatically revert

back to the measurement mode.

This indicates that the calibration date setting

mode is active.

This indicates that a 0 FTU standard calibra-

tion solution is required.

This indicates that a 10 FTU standard calibra-

tion solution is required.

This indicates that a 500 FTU standard cali-

bration solution is required.

This blinking SIP (Sample In Progress) mes-

sage indicates that the instrument is being

calibrated.

This shows the last calibration date (MM.DD).

This indicates that the sample is being ana-

lyzed.

This indicates that an error occurred during

calibration (e.g. a wrong standard was used).

Repeat the calibration with fresh standards.

LCD AND ERROR CODES

TIPS TO OBTAIN ACCURATE CALIBRATION

•All glassware that comes into contact with standards should be

kept clean. Wash with HI 93703-50 cleaning solution and rinse

with HI 93703-0 or turbidity free water.

•Rinse the cuvette twice with 5 mL of the sample, to remove any

previous liquid, dust or foreign matter that may be present.

Gently pour the liquid down the side of the vial to reduce air

bubbles (no mixing is required when Hanna standards are used).

•Before inserting the vial into the meter,

wipe it clean with HI93703-70 or a soft,

lint-free tissue. Handle vials so that no

fingerprints are left on the areas where

light passes through (bottom 2 cm).

STANDARD SUSPENSION

Presently, there are only two recognized primary standards: AMCO-AEPA-1

(available through Hanna) and formazine. LP 2000 works with both

solutions.

AMCO-AEPA-1 has a much longer shelf life at all concentrations

(approximately six months, if free from contamination). In addition,

no special handling or disposal is required and a much higher

stability of suspended particles has been observed.

Formazine is highly toxic and is generated by a known carcinogen,

with poor stability (particles settle quickly). Lower concentrations

change value quickly after dilution.

The consistency of LP 2000 readings by using both standards has

been separately established by Advanced Polymer Systems and

Hanna Instruments. Additional documentation about the formazine

standard and other calibration procedures is available upon request.

VIEWING THE CALIBRATION DATE

•Turn the meter on and wait for the

display to show "----".

•Press and hold the DATE/ key. The month and day of last

calibration ("MM.DD") appear while the key is held down.

Note: The displayed date is the date that was input by the user at

the beginning of the last calibration.
