4. Troubleshooting Guide
The TN-100/ T-100 turbidimeter routinely performs self-diagnostics, and will
automatically generate messages to provide you with specific diagnostic information.
These messages are for your use and do not indicate a reduction in the performance of
the instrument or a failure of any component in the instrument, unless otherwise stated
in this list.

in the sample well. Use light
shield cover.
Attempting a measurement when
low battery indicator is on.
Replace batteries.

Or
When Turbidity value is above the
measurement range(>1000NTU)
Dilute sample. See Section 9.7
on page 22.
Low battery indication. The
batteries need to be replaced.
Replace batteries.
* If an error message appears, take the appropriate
corrective action and re-do the desired procedure. If
