The Hach 2100Q turbidity meter offers simple calibration and data transfer in a highly portable package. Those and other features make it a quality choice for monitoring professionals.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe meter has on-screen, guided calibration and verification, allowing anyone to perform a calibration or verification with confidence,\u201d said Layton Hill, product manager at Hach.<\/p>\n
Calibration time is reduced on the meter through RapidCal, a software improvement that allows a single standard to be used for reading turbidity values up to 40 NTU. Hill says the calibration can be quickly done in the field if needed.<\/p>\n
Through feedback, Hill and others learned that many customers were unsure when to take turbidity readings. So they set out to make the measuring process easier.<\/p>\n
\u201cCustomers told us that they weren\u2019t sure when to take a turbidity reading, particularly with rapidly settling samples,\u201d said Hill. \u201cSo we developed an algorithm that monitors the settlement over time and provides a single, accurate measurement, without any guesswork.\u201d<\/p>\n
The algorithm is related to the Rapidly Settling Turbidity mode on the sensor, which Hill says lets a user take just one measurement instead of multiple ones required from other similar devices.<\/p>\n
The Hach 2100Q also comes with an improved optical system which compensates for color and light fluctuation in samples. The enhancement accounts for variation that could hinder reading quality under changing site conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe two-detector optical system allows for ratio measurement that improves accuracy in the higher turbidity ranges,\u201d said Hill.<\/p>\n
Up to 500 measurements are automatically stored in the 2100Q for simplified access and backup, adding to convenience over the long term.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe design is portable and rugged, allowing for years of reliable use in harsh environments,\u201d said Hill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
