WARNING!
Danger from hazardous sub‐
stances!
Possible consequence: Fatal or
very serious injuries.
Please ensure when handling
hazardous substances that you
have read the latest safety data
sheets provided by the manufac‐
ture of the hazardous substance.
The actions required are
described in the safety data sheet.
Check the safety data sheet regu‐
larly and replace, if necessary, as
the hazard potential of a sub‐
stance can be re-evaluated at any
time based on new findings.
The system operator is respon‐
sible for ensuring that these safety
data sheets are available and that
they are kept up to date, as well
as for producing an associated
hazard assessment for the work‐
stations affected.

General information
1.2 Instructions for use
– Request the safety data sheets.

– Reagents are intended for chemical analysis and access to them by
unauthorised persons must not be permitted.
– You must dispose of reagent solutions properly.
– Observe the application possibilities, analysis instruction and matrix
effects of the methods.
1. You must thoroughly clean the cuvettes, lids and stirring rod after each
analysis to avoid carry-over errors.
Even slight reagent residue can lead to incorrect measurement results.
For cleaning use the supplied brush.
If the fully reacted water sample is left for any length of time it may pro‐
duce stubborn coloured deposits, which you can remove using dilute (= 4
%) hydrochloric acid.
2. The outer walls of the cuvettes must be clean and dry before the analysis
is carried out. Fingerprints or water droplets on the light-entry surfaces of
the cuvette will result in faulty measurements. The cuvette should there‐
fore be wiped clean with a soft paper tissue (paper handkerchief) before
carrying out the measurement.
3. The zero correction and the analysis must both be carried out using the
same cuvette, as the cuvettes may have slightly varying tolerances.

Fig. 1: Cuvette positioning (Ø 24 mm):

I. Seal
II. Marking with the white triangle
4. For the zero correction and test, the cuvette must be positioned in the
sample chamber in such a way that the marking with the white triangle (II.)
points towards the housing marking.
5. You must carry out the zero correction and test with the cuvette lid closed.
You must provide the cuvette lid with a sealing ring (I.) to prevent the
entrance of light into the sample chamber.
6. Formation of bubbles on the inside walls of the cuvette will result in faulty
measurements. Should this happen, seal the cuvette with the cuvette lid
and tip it back and forth to dissolve/remove the bubbles before carrying
out the test.
9
General information
7. It is important to prevent water getting into the sample chamber because

this leads to incorrect measurement results.
8. Dirt in the transparent sample chamber leads to incorrect measurement
results. The light entry surfaces should be checked at regular intervals and
cleaned as necessary.
Standard spectacle cleaning cloths and cotton buds are suitable for
cleaning.
9. Pronounced differences in temperature between the photometer and the
surroundings can lead to incorrect measurements, e.g. due to the forma‐
tion of condensation in the sample chamber and on the cuvette.
10. Protect the device from direct sunlight.
A0938
Fig. 2: Correct filling of the cuvette: Left = correct / right = incorrect

11. Fill the cuvette as shown in Fig. 2.
12. Insert the reagent tablets directly from the blister pack into the water
sample, without touching them with your fingers.
13. After use immediately close the dropping bottles containing the liquid
reagents by closing them with the screw caps of the same colour.
14. You must observe the sequence for the addition of reagents without fail.

1.3 Adapter for 16 mm cuvettes
A0941
Fig. 3: Place the adapter for 16 mm cuvettes on the sample chamber

Insert the adapter for the 16 mm cuvette as shown in Fig. 3.
This adapter is required for all analysis methods which must be carried out using
a 16 mm cuvette.

General information
1.4 Operations carried out on the device

Battery replacement:
To ensure complete leak-tightness of the photometer, you must insert the

gasket (2) and screw on the battery compartment lid (1).
If the battery is removed for more than 1 minute from the device, then when
the device is switched on again with new inserted batteries, the date/time
program appears automatically.

measurement error, the cuv‐
ettes must not contain any sub‐
stances that have a chlorine
demand. Therefore the cuvettes
must be stored in a sodium
hypochlorite solution (0.1 g/l) for
one hour and then thoroughly
rinsed with deionised water.
2. For the relevant specification of
free chlorine and total chlorine
use a separate set of cuvettes
for each determination (see EN
ISO 7393-2, section. 5.3).
Label the cuvettes set on

the top and bottom so that
inadvertent interchanging of
the cuvettes is not possible.
