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 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
display will show “-0.0-
”. The meter is now
zeroed and ready for
measurement.
7• Empty the cuvet !
8• For free chlorine measurement:
Add 5 mL of Distiled/Deionized water
by using a syringe
9• Fill the cuvet up to the 10 mL mark
with 5 mL of unreacted sample using
a pipette.
10 • Add the content of one packet
of MI526-100 reagent.
11• Replace the cap and swirl
gently for 20 seconds
12• Reinsert the cuvet into the
holder and ensure that the
notch on the cap is
positioned securely into the groove.
13• Wait 1 minute for free chlorine
and press READ. “SIP” will blink
during measurement.
14• The instrument directly displays
concentration in mg/L of chlorine.
15• For total chlorine measurement,
Prepare new 5 mL of Distiled /
Deionized water by using a
syringe
16• Fill the cuvet up to the 10 mL mark
with 5 mL of unreacted sample
using a pipette
17• Add the content of one packet of
MI524-100 reagent
18• Replace the cap and swirl
gently for 20 seconds
19• Reinsert the cuvet into the holder
and ensure that the notch on the
cap is positioned securely into the
groove.
20• Wait for 2 minutes and 30
seconds then
press READ
and “SIP” will
blink during
measurement.
21• The instrument directly displays
concentration 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 CaCO3 or
acidity above 150 mg/L CaCO3 will
not reliable develop 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 instrument is turned on.
The dashes “- - -”
indicates that the
meter is in a ready
state and zeroing can
be performed.
Sampling In Progress.
Flashing “SIP” prompt
appears each time the
meter is performing a
measurement.
“-0.0-”, the meter is in
a zeroed state and
measurement 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
signalto-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
measurement.
Please check the
preparation of the
zero cuvet.
• “L Hi”, there is too
much light to
perform a
measurement.
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
measurement 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 maximum
concentration
indicates an over
range condition.
The concentration of the sample is
beyond the programmed range: dilute
the sample and re-run the test.
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 terminals
and attach a
fresh 9V
battery while
paying
attention to
the correct
polarity.
Insert the battery and replace the cover.
