Materials and equipment: OBS500 with cable, datalogger, large black
polyethylene plastic tub (0.5 M I.D. X 0.25 M deep) for measuring the clear-
water points, and 100-mm and 200-mm black PE (polyethylene) calibration
cups.
Procedure
1. Swab sensor with an alcohol-soaked towel to sterilize it. Position the OBS
sensor in a large, black tub of fresh tap water as shown in FIGURE 7-6 and
record a 10-second average of the low-range output. Record the average
output on the calibration log sheet.

2. Pour the first SDVB standard into the appropriately sized cup (see TABLE
7-9).
3. Position the OBS sensor in the cup as shown in FIGURE 7-7 and record
10-second averages of the low- and high-range outputs. Record the
average outputs on the calibration log sheet.
4. Pour the standard back into its container.
5. Wipe sensor with a clean, dry towel to remove residual standard.
