Preparation
Inspect and verify that all AQUALAB components.
Select a clean, level location where the temperature remains fairly
stable. Locations with high temperature variability (e.g., next to air
conditioners, heater vents, or open windows) can affect the accuracy
of readings.
Maintenance
The accuracy of the AQUALAB should be veried at least once per
shift. If the verication standards read out of specication, the
instrument needs to be cleaned.
For detailed instructions on how to verify and clean the AQUALAB,
visit metergroup.com/certication or consult the AQUALAB
UserManual (metergroup.com/aqualab4te-support).
To reduce the chance of the sample material contaminating the
measurement chamber, keep the AQUALAB on a level surface at all
times. Do not move the instrument while a sample is loaded into the
chamber.

metergroup.com/certication or consult the AQUALAB User Manual.
