SPECIFICATIONS:
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE:
1• Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.
2• When the LCD displays “- - -”,
the meter is ready.
3• Fill the cuvet with 10 mL of
unreacted sample, up to the
mark, and replace the cap.
4• Place the cuvet into the holder
and ensure that the notch on
the cap is positioned securely
into the groove.
5• Press ZERO and “SIP” will blink
on the display.
6• Wait a few seconds and the
display will show “-0.0-”. The
meter is now zeroed and
ready for measurement.
9• Replace the cuvet into the holder and
ensure that the notch on the cap is posi-
tioned securely into the groove.
10• Press READ and “SIP” will blink
during measurement.
11• The instrument directly displays
the concentration in mg/L of free chlorine.
Interferences
• Positive error:
- Bromine
- Chlorine Dioxide
- Iodine
- Oxidized Manganese and Chromium
- Ozone
• Alkalinity above 250 mg/L CaCO3 or acidity
above 150 mg/L CaCO3will not reliably
develop the full amount of color or it may
rapidly fade.
To resolve this, neutralize the sample with
diluted HCl or NaOH.
• In case of water with hardness greater
than 500 mg/L CaCO3, shake the sample
for approximately 2’ after adding the
powder reagent.
7• Remove the cuvet from the meter.
8• Add 3 drops of DPD 1 indicator and 3 drops
of DPD 2 buffer to an empty cuvet.
Immediately add 10 mL of unreacted sample.
Replace the cap and shake gently.

GUIDETODISPLAYCODES:
This prompt appears for 1
second each time the instru-
ment is turned on.
The dashes “- - -” indicates
that the meter is in a ready
state and zeroing can be per-
formed.
Sampling In Progress. Flash-
ing “SIP” prompt appears each
time the meter is performing a
measurement.
“-0.0-”, the meter is in a ze-
roed state and measurement
can be performed.
The blinking "BAT" indicates
that the battery voltage is get-
ting low and the battery needs
to be replaced.
“-bA-”, the battery is dead and
must be replaced. Once this
indication is displayed, the
meter will lock up. Change the
battery and restart the meter.
“Conf”, the meter has lost its
configuration. Contact your
dealer or the nearest Martini
Customer Service Center.
ERROR MESSAGES
On zero reading
•Blinking “-0.0-” indicates
that the zeroing procedure
failed due to a low signal-
to-noise ratio. In this case
press ZERO again.
•“no L”, the instrument can-
not adjust the light level.
Please check that the
sample does not contain
any debris.
•“L Lo”, there is not enough
light to perform a measure-
ment. Please check the
preparation of the zero
cuvet.
•“L Hi”, there is too much
light to perform a measure-
ment. Please check the
preparation of the zero
cuvet.
On sample reading
•“-SA-”, there is too much
light for the sample mea-
surement. Please check if
the right sample cuvet is
inserted.
•“Inv”, the sample and the
zero cuvet are inverted.
•“ZErO”, a zero reading was
not taken. Follow the in-
struction in the measure-
ment procedure for zeroing
the meter.
•Under range. A blinking
“0.00” indicates that the
sample absorbs less light
than the zero reference.
Check the procedure and
make sure you use the same
cuvet for reference (zero)
and measurement.
•A flashing value of the maxi-
mum concentration indicates
an over range condition.
The concentration of the
sample is beyond the pro-
grammed range: dilute the
sample and re-run the test.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Battery replacement must only take place in a
