1. Unscrew the O–ring sealed battery cover counter–clockwise. Use proper sized pliers if necessary.
Do not disturb the sealing O–ring.
2. Remove the used batteries and install 4 new AAA batteries following the diagram for correct
polarity (see diagram). We recommend high quality AAA alkaline batteries be used.
3. Replace the battery cover. Be sure to tighten the cover securely. This is necessary for meter to
ensure it is waterproof.
4. Dispose of the used batteries in accordance with your local regulations.
5. Press button to confirm the meter turns on.
6. The meter is now ready for operation.

FOR BEST ACCURACY
Become familiar with the meter and the different tests by reading the
instructions carefully.
Observe the dip time (as required for the test) for accurate results.
Be sure the CELL is filled to capacity.Then, tilt meter forward to discard about
0.2mL of the cell volume. This allows for the Pb-2 addition to be performed
without overfilling the CELL.
Rinse the CELL with clean water immediately after completing each test. Some
test reagents will stain or coat the CELL.
It is recommended that the sample be allowed to sit for 5 minutes or longer in
Step 1 to facilitate Acid reaction. Additional time would be recommended if the
detection of solid Lead or Cadmium, containing particles, are of interest.
Store the meter and all test materials out of direct sunlight and away from
chemical storage areas.
Minimize exposure of meter and test reagents to heat. Storage below 80°F
(27°C) is recommended. DO NOT REFRIGERATE TEST REAGENTS.
Dry the outside of the meter when testing is complete or before storage of the
meter.
Each eXact®Strip Micro is valid for ONLY one test. Discard strip after single use
in regular refuse that is inaccessible to children and pets.
Each bottle of eXact®Strip Micro contains the quantity of strips notated on the
bottle. Due to the manufacturing 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.
If converstion tables are supplied, they have a unique revision number. It is
recommended that you visit www.sensafe.com regularly to check for any
updated revisions and details.
Tests are calibrated at 75°F ± 2°F (24°C ± 1°C). It is recommended that the
water sample be warmed before testing if sample temperature is below 60°F
/ 16°C.
Our lab testing with the LEADQuick meter has shown that zeroing and
measuring of the sample does not require any cell cover for accurate results,
even in full sunlight.
Remove batteries when meter is not used for more than a month (Warranty
Requirement).

READY SNAP®TEST PROCEDURE
1. Turn on the eXact®LEADQuick Photometer, rinse CELL
three times with clean water, and empty CELL.
2. Select the PB MENU.
3. Snap open one Ready Snap®1P Method Verification
Standard by twisting the top 180°. NOTE: DO NOT CON-
SUME THE STANDARD.
4. Squeeze plastic ampoule to fill photometer CELL to
capacity (4mL).
5. Discard this liquid sample followed with a quick shake of
the meter to empty the CELL of the remaining water drops.
6. Squeeze plastic ampoule to fill photometer CELL to
capacity (4mL).
7. Run the test method as you do normally using the correct
procedure (pages 4-5).
8. Compare the displayed value against the Assigned Value
chart provided below.
9. If your value is within the Acceptable Range, then you are
operating the eXact®LEADQuick Photometer correctly.
10. If your value is Borderline, review the Instruction Manual
and verify that you are following the proper procedure.
Repeat the test again from Step 1 through Step 8.

DIP STRIP AND PRESS READ
DIP the eXact Strip Micro Pb-3 into the CELL
and immediately press .This starts the
20-second countdown timer. Use a gentle
constant back and forth motion (2 strokes per
second) until the timer displays “1”. Be careful to
not spill the sample from the CELL. Remove and
discard the strip. The display will begin counting
up from 1 to 60. After the 60-second count-up,
the meter will automatically zero and display 0μg.

DIP STRIP AND PRESS READ
DIP the eXact Strip Micro Pb-4 into the CELL
and immediately press .This starts the

not spill the sample from the CELL. Remove and
discard the strip. The display will begin counting
up from 1 to 60. After the 60-second count-up,
the meter will display the final results.
SOLUBLE LEAD PROCEDURE
Collect water sample in 50mL conical tube to the
50mL line. Add two (2) drops of eXact
®
Reagent
Pb-2, Part #488375-B. TEST SAMPLE is ready for
testing. Turn meter on and select test menu PB.
Using the TEST SAMPLE from above, fill and empty
the CELL four (4) times. Finally, fill cell to capacity
with the TEST SAMPLE. Then perform steps 6 and
7 from above.
To get results as Colloidal Lead, subtract the
Soluble Lead value from the Total Lead value.
