cuvette back into the meter.
Note: Pay attention not to spill reagent otherwise
full color development may be inhibited.
•Press the button. The instrument directly
displays the concentration of alkalinity in
ppm of CaCO3. Alkalinity conversion:
1 ppm CaCO3= 0.02 meq/L
= 0.056 dkH
The meter automatically turns off after 10
minutes.
10 mL
•It is important that the sample does not contain any debris.
•Whenever the cuvette is placed into the measurement cell, it must bedry
outside, and completely free of fingerprints, oil or dirt. Wipe it throughly with
HI 731318 or a lint-free cloth prior to insertion.
•Shaking the cuvette can generate bubbles, causing higher readings. To obtain
accurate measurements, remove bubbles by swirling or by gently tapping the
cuvette.
•Do not let the reacted sample stand for too long after reagent is added, as
accuracy will be affected .
•After the reading it is important to discard the sample immediately , otherwise
the glass might become permanently stained.
