THE EXACT IDIP®
SMART PHOTOMETER SYSTEM®
Using eXact® Micro reagents in combination with the
app and photometer completes the eXact iDip®Smart
Photometer System®. Each test will require the use of one or
more of the testing methods outlined in this manual.
This system’s unique and innovative technologies have
earned the eXact iDip®US and international patents (US
Patents #7,333,194 and #7,491,546, Euro Pat No. 1 725
864 DE FR UK, and South African Patent #2007/0628) for
underlying technology, and currently pending are US Pat
App 13/651305 and Euro Pat App 2 906 942 for technical
features relating to two-way data communication between a
photometer and a smart device.
Note: This system has been manufactured for use with only
our eXact®Micro reagents.
WARRANTY (2 YEARS)
Registration of your eXact iDip®photometer must be received
within 30 days from date of purchase to activate the warranty.
Registration is available over the phone [phone] Ext. 0)
or online at sensafe.com/micro/warranty/ (Personal data is kept
confidential). The eXact iDip®photometer is warranted to be free
from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of two (2)
years from the date of purchase by the customer. ITS will repair
or replace, at its discretion, product which is deemed to be faulty
due to manufacturing defect. Warranty does not cover product
damage caused by abuse (such as crushing a tablet in the cell),
battery corrosion damage, or improper use. If the meter is faulty
or otherwise defective contact ITS by phone [phone] Ext.
0) or email ([e-mail]) to describe the problem and obtain
a return authorization form before returning the photometer to ITS.
Damage caused by improper packing of the photometer for return
shipment to ITS will not be covered by the warranty. Customer is
responsible for shipping charges to ITS. ITS pays postage when
photometer is returned to customer. A maximum processing fee
of $75 will be charged for repair or replacement of non-registered
photometers and damages not covered by this warranty. The repair
or replacement of the photometer will not extend or renew the
period of guarantee. This warranty does not affect your statutory
rights. The warranty is not transferable.

ABOUT
EXACT IDIP®ACCURACY
Combined with your smart device, the eXact iDip® photometer is
designed to test your water for multiple water quality parameters.
Download the free eXact iDip®app and sync to your smart
device running Bluetooth®SMART Technology.
All tests have been calibrated using certified reference
standards and analytical spectrophotometric methods. The
algorithms in the app reflect the best correlation of the eXact
iDip®against the AWWA, USEPA, DIN and ISO reference
test methods. The eXact iDip®photometer has been factory
calibrated and will stay valid because of its exceptional quality.
We are so confident in the eXact iDip®photometer, we offer an
industry leading 2-year warranty.
We built the eXact iDip®photometer to be easy, accurate and
environmentally friendly. We have achieved this by utilizing our
patented eXact®Strip Micro Technology, which uses 60% less
water and chemistry than alternative methods. Instead of using
a 10mL water sample, eXact®Strip Micro uses a 4mL water
sample. The accuracy of the meter is maintained by designing
the sample cell with an 11mm path-length.
Ready Snap®is a method verification solution
with predetermined values to verify the
accuracy of any manufacturer's tests including
our eXact iDip® Smart Photometer System.
The easy 3 step procedure (snap, fill, and test)
allows for quick verification of test parameters.
Each box contains 10 ampoules of 10mL
solution with no dilution necessary.

app.
Always fill the cell to capacity (4mL).
Test immediately after filling the cell with the water sample.
Due to the strip slitting process, you may find one or two strips that are
noticeably smaller or larger in width than the normal strips in the bottle.
These should be discarded. Using these strips may give unreliable results.
When testing pH, it is recommended to run the pH test prior to running
Chlorine. If you choose to run the pH after Chlorine, ensure you
thoroughly clean the cell with water and the brush provided.
To obtain optimal accuracy when testing outdoors (sunlight), use the
Cell Cover when zeroing and reading the sample.
Meter is not compatible for use with powder pillows, tablets, and liquids
from other manufacturers.
Dip strip for entire countdown.
Each eXact
®
Strip Micro is valid for ONLY one test. Discard strip after use.
Dry the outside of the meter before storage.
Remove batteries before storing for prolonged periods.
Store the meter and test materials out of direct sunlight and away from
chemical storage areas.
Minimize exposure of meter and test reagents to heat above 90°F (32°C).
When installing batteries, make sure that the O-ring is still attached to
the screw before tightening.
To pair the eXact iDip
®
photometer with your smart device, open the
app and connect through the app. You cannot connect the devices in
the settings section of your smart device.
All results must be saved from the results page to history in order to
permanently save to your smart device.
The eXact iDip
®
photometer may experience Bluetooth
®
disconnection
when submerged in water too deep. To avoid this, collect water sample
in a small container/cup and pour or pipette (contact us for ordering)
the water into the Sample Cell.
To ensure lab quality results, it is recommended to clean the cell with
the brush provided after every test. Use Distilled White Vinegar to clean
the cell after testing for Phosphate or Iron to remove reagent deposits
from the cell wall.

ABOUT
COMPLIANCE TESTING
This DPD test system for Chlorine and
Chlorine Dioxide are accepted for reporting
by most health departments because the tests
are USEPA (DIN Standard 38 408 G4/G5, ISO
7393/2) accepted for testing requirements for Free Chlorine,
Total Chlorine, and Chlorine Dioxide.
The compliance requirement is a photometer wavelength to
measure between 490 and 530nm. The eXact iDip®photometer
uses a 525nm wavelength and 11 mm path-length. The
eXact®Strip Micro CL/Cd (DPD-1) use the same reagents and
proportions, and the resulting solution pH is maintained between
6.2 and 6.5 as specified by AWWA method 4500-Cl G/ClO2-D.
The USEPA does not “approve” commercial DPD delivery
systems. The eXact®Strip Micro CL (DPD-1) for Free Chlorine,
and the eXact®Strip Micro CL (DPD-3) for Combined Chlorine,
the eXact®Strip Micro CL (DPD-4) for Total Chlorine, and the
eXact®Strip Micro Cd (DPD-1) for Chlorine Dioxide meet your
reportable testing requirements because the eXact®Strip Micro
strips deliver the same chemicals in identical proportions. The
eXact®Strip Micro Chromium is compliant because it uses the
same wavelength and delivers the same chemicals in the same
proportions as AWWA method 3500-Cr B. The eXact iDip®570
photometer cannot be used for compliance monitoring because
the photometer wavelength of 570nm is outside of the required
490nm–530nm range. Consult with your local Health Department
for official regulations.

BLUETOOTH®SMART TECHNOLOGY
Bluetooth®SMART is a low-power networking standard
which uses short radio waves to allow electronic devices
to communicate with each other wirelessly. The eXact iDip®
comes standard with the latest Bluetooth®4.0 technology
(bluetooth.com/Pages/Bluetooth-Smart.aspx). It is a class
2 device with a wireless working distance of up to 30 feet
(10 meters) and a 2.1 Mbps data transfer rate. This allows a
seamless transfer of data between a smart device and the
eXact iDip®.
BUILT IN SAMPLE CELL
The built-in sample cell is made of transparent plastic;
the sturdy cell design will last for over 20,000 readings.
Our studies have shown that scratches on the cell will not
compromise the accuracy of your results because of the
cell’s fixed position.
MAKING CALLS
The eXact iDip®is not intended for use while talking on your
smart phone. Talking during testing may cause the app
to shutdown.

MAGNESIUM HARDNESS
Use the STANDARD STRIP METHOD, as illustrated on page
18 to perform tests for Total Hardness and Calcium
Hardness. Then, tap Results at the bottom of the page
and a Magnesium Hardness value will be calculated
automatically.
RESIDUAL ALKALINITY
Use the procedure above to obtain a Magnesium Hardness
value. Then use the STANDARD STRIP METHOD as illustrated

STANDARD STRIP METHOD
The STANDARD STRIP METHOD (page 18) applies to both the eXact iDip
®
photometer and the eXact iDip
®
570 photometer unless otherwise stated
(some tests require a count-up time, listed below).
STANDARD LIQUID METHOD
Cyanuric Acid (5 drops, 60 sec) pH-BT (eXact iDip
®
570 only) (2 drops)
Fluoride (eXact iDip
®
570 only) (10 drops)
Metals (2 drops, 120 sec)
The STANDARD LIQUID METHOD (page 19) involves adding the specified
number of drops (below) and mixing for a 20 second count-down (some
tests require a count-up time, listed below).
