If there isany damage, notify your dealer immediately.LP 2000 is supplied complete with:• Glass cuvet with cap• Calibration solutions (HI 93703-0 AMCO-EPA-1 @0 FTU andHI 93703-10 AMCO-EPA-1 @10 FTU), 30 mL each• 12 Vdc power adapter and instructionsNote: Save all packing material until you are sure that the instrumentfunctions correctly. Any damaged or defective item must bereturned in its original packaging with the supplied accessories.PRELIMINARY EXAMINATIONLP 2000 is a bench microprocessor-based meter used to determinethe turbidity of water and wastewater. The meter covers the 0 to1000 FTU* range with 0.01 resolution from 0.00 to 50.00 FTU* andin single digits from 50 to 1000 FTU*. It also auto-ranges betweenthe two scales.Note: LP 2000 has been designed according to the ISO 7027International Standard. The turbidity measurement unitis FTU (Formazine Turbidity Unit), which is identical toNTU (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 onlyfour keys and troubleshooting functions can be performed with errorcodes on the display. An exclusive positive-locking system guaranteesthat 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 suppliedstandard. In addition, LP 2000 is the first bench turbidity meterthat allows the storage and retrieval of the last calibration date.10 FTU* was chosen as the calibration point because its value bestfits the water turbidity measurements in a wide range of applications,from drinking water to wastewater treatment.GENERAL DESCRIPTION* 1 FTU = 1 NTUPRELIMINARY EXAMINATION ...................................................... 3GENERAL DESCRIPTION .............................................................. 3MEASURE UNITS ....................................................................... 4PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION ......................................................... 4FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION ........................................................ 5SPECIFICATIONS......................................................................... 6OPERATIONAL GUIDE ................................................................. 7CALIBRATION ........................................................................... 10LCD AND ERROR CODES ........................................................... 13ACCESSORIES ........................................................................... 14WARRANTY .............................................................................. 14CE DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY ............................................ 15Dear Customer,Thank you for choosing a HANNA instruments® product.Please read the instruction manual carefully before using the instru-ment, to have all the necessary information for a correct use.If you need additional technical information, do not hesitate to e-mailus at tech@hannainst.comThis instrument is in compliance with the directives.TABLE OF CONTENTS
