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• After a few seconds the dis-
play will show “-0.0-”. The
meter is now zeroed and
ready for measurement.
7• For free chlorine measurement:
Add 3 drops of DPD 1 reagent to an empty
cuvet.
8• Add 5 mL of DPD 0 reagent by using a
syringe.
9 • Fill the cuvet up to the 10 mL mark with 5
mL of unreacted sample using a pipette.
10• Replace the cap and shake gentily for a
few seconds.
11• Immediately insert the cuvet into the holder
and ensure that the notch on the cap is
positioned securely into the groove.
12• Press READ and “SIP” will blink
during measurement.
13• The instrument directly displays con-
centration in mg/L of chlorine.
14• Then, for total chlorine measurement,
remove the cuvet and add to the reacted
sample 3 drops of DPD 3. Replace the cap
and swirl gently.
15• Reinsert the cuvet into the holder and en-
sure that the notch on the cap is posi-
tioned securely into the groove.
16• Wait for 2 minutes and
30 seconds then press
READ and “SIP” will blink
during measurement.
17• The instrument directly displays concentra-
tion in mg/L of total chlorine.
Interferences
•Bromine (positive error)
•Chlorine dioxide (positive error)
•Iodine (positive error)
•Oxidized Manganese and Chromium (positive
error)
•Ozone (positive error)
•Alkalinity above 250 mg/L CaCO3or acidity
above 150 mg/L CaCO3 will not reliable de-
velop the full amount of color or it may
rapidly fade. To resolve this, neutralize the
sample with diluted HCl or NaOH.

GUIDE TO DISPLAY CODES:
This prompt appears for 1
second each time the instru-
ment is turned on.
The dashes “- - -” indicate
that the meter is in a ready
state and zeroing can be
performed.
Sampling In Progress. Flash-
ing “SIP” prompt appears each
time the meter is performing a
measurement.
“-0.0-”, the meter is in a
zeroed state and measure-
ment can be performed.
The blinking "BAT" indicates
that the battery voltage is
getting 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
measurement. 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
instruction in the measure-
ment procedure for zero-
ing the meter.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Battery replacement must only take place in a
non-hazardous environment.
Simply rotate the battery cover on the back of
the meter.
Detach the battery from the termi-
nals and attach a fresh 9V
battery while paying
attention to the
correct polarity.
Insert the battery
and replace the
cover.
•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.
