Components and care of components
Glass vials :
To ensure the best accuracy the vials used should be clean and free of
marks, scratches, fingerprints etc.. They should be washed thoroughly in
tap water and then rinsed with de-ionised/distilled water to remove any
traces of tap water.
Instrument:
The instrument requires very little maintenance but the cell chamber
should be inspected regularly to ensure there are no traces of dirt in it or
water which will affect the readings. If cleaning is necessary the
chamber can be rinsed under a tap and dried using a soft cloth.
The rest of the instrument can be cleaned using a mild soapy solution.
For difficult to remove marks Iso-propyl alcohol can be used.

1.3 PERFORMING A TEST
The Metalometer uses the photometric analysis technique. The principle is to add a reagent to
a sample of water which will react with the metal of interest and produce a colour change
which is related to the concentration of the metal in the sample. This colour change is then
measured by passing a fixed wavelength lightsource through the sample and detecting the
amount of light which is transmitted through the sample. This transmittance of the sample is
matched against a fixed calibration curve already programmed into the instrument.
To select a test method, turn on the instrument by pressing
The instrument will show initially Al and then the last metal selected thereafter.
To change the test method press.
The instrument will sequence through the test methods as follows:
Al –Bor –Cr6 –Cu –FE –Mn –Ni
To perform a test for a particular metal please consult the individual application notes.

1.4 RESULTS
The instrument displays the results on the screen and will store them automatically with a
data and time stamp in the one of the 16 memory locations. Once the memory is full the next
reading will overwrite the first, the next the second and so on.
To recall the results enter the set-up menu :
Press and hold then turn on by pressing
When the instrument displays … release the keys.
The screen should show
Press the button. No1 will be displayed.
If left the instrument will cycle through the following information for result no.1
Year, Month and Day, time, Metal, result.
To repeat press Zero To move to the next result press.

1.5 TROUBLESHOOTING
Whilst your Metalometer is designed to be very reliable, occasional problems
may occur throughout its working life. The following tables are intended to help
you diagnose and resolve these problems simply and quickly. Should you not
be able to resolve the problem please contact your supplier and they will be
able to assist you.
Problem
Probable Cause
Solution
Hi
The metal concentration is
above the maximum limit of
detection.
Dilute the sample.
Lo
The metal concentration is
below the minimum level of
detection
Result higher than
expected
Cell chamber or cell dirty
Clean chamber and
cell
Turbidity present in sample
Filter sample
Result lower than
expected
Reagent not fully dissolved
Shake sample and
check all reagent is
dissolved
Time not elapsed for timed
tests.
Allow time to elapse
Zero sample was turbid, dirty
or coloured.

1.6 INTERFERENCE EFFECTS
The Metalometer has been designed to test very low levels of
metals in water and as such is very sensitive. Due to the interaction
of other metals and organics in the water source, interferences can
occur as with any system of this type. For further information on the
most common interferences please consult the application notes for
each metal.
