• After a few seconds, the display will

show “-0.0-”. The meter is now zeroed
and ready for measurement.

and ensure that the notch on the cap is
positioned securely into the groove.

• Press and hold READ/ /TIMER

for three

seconds.

The display will show the

countdown prior to measurement. An
audible “beep” indicates the end of
countdown period.

• Alternatively, wait for 1 minute for free

chlorine or 2’30’’ for total chlorine and
just press READ/ /TIMER.
In both cases, the lamp, cuvette and
detector icons will appear on the display,
depending on the measurement phase.

To compensate the meter for the sample turbidity or color, the measurement takes place in two
phases. First, the meter is zeroed using the unreacted sample. After the reagents are added the
reacted sample is measured.
Important note:

Free and Total Chlorine have to be measured separately with fresh unreacted

samples if both values are requested.

The display briefly shows all tags on.

To change the range, simply press
