CALIBRATION

As with all pre-calibrated meters, it is highly recommended, even if not required

by regulations, that the user periodically verify the performance of the meter

by running standards with a predetermined concentration. Results outside of

specifi cation are an indication that the meter needs to be adjusted. This can be

done following the user calibration described on page 28. If the user calibration

fails to properly adjust the meter then the meter should be returned to LaMotte

Company for recalibration. (See page 65).

STRAY LIGHT

The SMART3 Colorimeter should have no problems with stray light. Make sure

that the sample compartment lid is always fully closed, except when testing

COD with the adapter.
