Using Hydrosteel 6000
Initial Appraisal
A number of accessories accompany the Hydrosteel 6000 Analysis Kit. When you first receive your Analysis
Kit, we suggest that you check the items received against the Packing List. If any item is damaged or
missing, notify your supplier, stating the serial number stamped on the rear of the handheld analyser,
together with your order number and the supplier’s invoice number. Familiarise yourself with the components
of the Hydrosteel 6000 Analysis Kit by going to the ‘Contents of the Hydrosteel 6000 Complete Kit’.

Close and lock the battery compartment.
4 Refit the leather outer case. Press the on/off key (I/O), which is located on the analyser front panel.
5 A countdown shows the time remaining, and a red LED flashes. The detector is then normalised,
