4. Performance Specifications
ionoval mono is a photometer for determining the concentration of water contents (see table under point
11.). The microprocessor-controlled instrument functions photometrically (LED) and is primarily used in the
fields of water treatment, sewage water, swimming pools and drinking water. The highly integrated
electronics, simple operation and large digital display enable quick and precise analytical determination. The
basic version is powered via a 9 V battery. The last 100 measuring results can be stored with a consecutive
number, the measuring point, parameters and the time and date.

7. Commissioning
After removing the switch-on guard (white plastic part at the power supply connection), the instrument is
switched on in battery mode. The instrument is always in measuring mode after switching it on. The
instrument will switch off automatically (energy saving mode) (except when in PC mode) if it is not operated
or no key is pressed for 5 minutes. If a power supply unit is used, the inserted battery is switched off.
Note: If the instrument is operated without an inserted battery but with a power supply unit and is
disconnected from the mains, the instrument will be in exactly the same mode as before disconnection once
the power is reconnected. If the instrument is in sleep mode (automatic switch off), press any key to switch it
on again.
7.1 General instructions
Only operate the instrument in the ambient conditions (e.g. temperature) specified in the chapter entitled
“Technical Data”. Always protect the instrument against moisture. It should never come into contact with
condensation or splash water. The instrument should only be used for its specified intended purpose.
7.2 Settings of the measuring instrument
It is recommended to carry out instrument settings during initial commissioning. These settings are saved
and can be changed at any time if required. They are divided into the following settings and advanced
functions.

9. Calibration
Every time the instrument is switched on the CAL symbol on the display flashes as a reminder that
calibration must be carried out.
9.1 Inserting the test cell and calibrating
Take a test cell from the portable lab, rinse it with the water sample
(without reagents) and fill it up to the mark.
When using the test cell please observe the following:
- The test cell should be clean and dry
- When inserting the test cell the gap in the mark must face
towards the display
9.2 Calibration error "Err1"
If the error message "Err1" is displayed, a calibration error has
occurred (e.g. test cell is soiled). The instrument remains in
calibration mode and after reinserting the test cell the calibration
process can be continued by pressing the START key.
10. Measuring
10.1 Inserting the test cell and measuring
Empty the test cell after calibration (see 9.1), add 6 drops of
reagent A and 2 drops of reagent B and fill the test cell up to
the mark with the water sample. Screw the cap onto the test
cell and swirl gently until everything has dissolved.
When inserting the test cell into the instrument, ensure that
the mark (gap) of the test cell faces towards the display to
achieve consistent measuring results.
Insert the test cell into the test cell slot and press the START
key to commence measuring. After pressing the START key
and if the timer has been set, the measured value is automatically
displayed once the reaction time has expired. The one-minute
reaction time is shown on the display.
Press the SET key to interrupt the timer and to cancel the measurement. If the store has been activated, the
current storage location number is displayed for each measurement. If the timer has been switched off, a
reaction time of one minute has to be adhered to. Once the reaction time has expired, press the START key
to trigger measuring.

10 / 13
10.2 Possible measuring errors and their remedy
If Err2 appears, the reagent being measured is "lighter" than the liquid used for calibration. Please check
whether calibration has been carried out with the correct liquid; if necessary, recalibrate and subsequently
repeat the measurement. If Err2 is still displayed, check your reagent and, if necessary, renew it.
Subsequently carry out a new measurement.
The measuring range is exceeded if the water sample briefly turns red or if Err4 appears on the display after
the measurement. In this case, the water sample should be diluted with distilled water in advance.
To achieve this, multiply the measured value displayed by the instrument with the dilution factor.
