MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE:
1• Turn the meter on by pressing
ON/OFF. The last selected
parameter is displayed on the Liq-
uid Crystal Display (“Cl” or “PH”).
2• Choose the parameter that you
want to measure.
3• Fill the cuvet with 10 mL of unre-
acted 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.

holder and ensure that the notch on the
cap is positioned securely on the groove
10• Press READ and “SIP“ will blink during
measurement.
11• The instrument directly displays concentra-
tion in mg/L of free chlorine.

WARRANTY
This instrument is warranted against defects in mate-
rials and manufacturing for a period of two years
from the date of purchase.
If during this period the repair or replacement of parts
is required, where the damage is not due to negli-

return the meter to either distributor or our office in
the original packing and the repair will be free of
charge.
Damages due to accidents, misuse, tampering or
lack of prescribed maintenance are not covered.
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

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 in-
serted.
•“Inv”, the sample and the
zero cuvet are inverted.
•“ZErO”, a zero reading was
not taken. Follow the instruc-
tion in the measurement pro-
cedure 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
maximum concentration in-
dicates an over range con-
dition. The concentration of
the sample is beyond the
programmed range: dilute
the sample and re-run the
test.
13• Reinsert the cuvet into the holder and posi-
tion securely into the groove.
14• Wait for 2 minutes 30 seconds then press
READ and “SIP” will blink during measurement.
15• The instrument dirrectly displays concentra-
tion in mg/L of total chlorine.
For pH measurement
16• Fill a cuvet with 10 mL of unreacted
sample up to the mark.
17• Add 5 drops of pH-0 reagent. Re-
place the cap and shake gently.
18• Insert the cuvet into the holder and
ensure that the notch of the cap is
positioned securely into the groove.
19• Press READ and “SIP” will blink during
measurement.
20• The instrument dirrectly display the pH value.
