Milwaukee MI413 PRO Free & Total Chlorine High Range
Photometer
- “ZErO”, a zero reading was not taken. Follow the instruction in the measurement procedure for zeroing the meter.
- Under range. A blinking “0.00” indicates that the sample absorbs less light than the zero references. Check the procedure and make sure you use the same cuvet for reference (zero) and measurement.
- A flashing value of the maximum concentration indicates an over-range condition. The concentration of the sample is beyond the programmed range: dilute the sample and re-run the test.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
- Battery replacement must only take place in a non-hazardous environment.
- Simply rotate the battery cover on the back of the meter.
- Detach the battery from the terminals and attach a fresh 9V battery while paying attention to the correct polarity. Insert the battery and replace the cover.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
-
Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.
-
When the LCD displays “- – -”, the meter is ready.
-
Fill the cuvet with 10 mL of sample, up to the mark, and replace the cap.
-
Place the cuvet into the holder and ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned securely into the disply.
-
Press ZERO and “SIP” will blink on the disply.
-
After a few seconds, the display will show “-0.0-”. The meter is now zeroed and ready for measurement.
-
For free chlorine measurement:
Add 3 drops of DPD 1 reagent to an empty cuvet.. -
Add 5 mL of DPD 0 reagent by using a syringe.
-
Fill the cuvet up to the 10 mL mark with 5 mL of unreacted sample using a pipette
-
Replace the cap and shake gently for a few seconds.
-
Immediately insert the cuvet into the holder and ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned securely into the groove.
-
Press READ and “SIP” will blink during measurement.
-
The instrument directly displays concentration in mg/L of chlorine.
-
Then, for total chlorine measurement, remove the cuvet and add to the reacted sample 3 drops of DPD 3. Replace the cap and swirl gently.
-
Reinsert the cuvet into the holder and ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned securely into the groove.
-
Wait for 2 minutes and 30 seconds then press READ and “SIP” will blink during measurement.
-
The instrument directly displays concentration in mg/L of total chlorine.
Interferences
- Chloramines, various aliphatic and aromatic amines, glycine, (positive error). To eliminate these interferences distillation is required.
- Aldehydes, alcohols (e.g. ethanol) or acetone (negative error). To eliminate these interferences distillation is required.
- Sulfide (S2-): may cause turbidity.
- Hardness above 1 g/L as Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3).
GUIDE TO DISPLAY CODES
- This prompt appears for 1 second each time the instrument is turned on.
- The dashes “- – -” indicates that the meter is in a ready state and zeroing can be performed.
- Sampling In Progress. A flashing “SIP” prompt appears each time the meter is performing a measurement.
- “-0.0-”, the meter is in a zeroed state, and measurement can be performed.
- The blinking “BAT” indicates that the battery voltage is getting low and the battery needs to be replaced.
- “-bA-”, the battery is dead and must be replaced. Once this indication is displayed, the meter will lock up. Change the battery and restart the meter.
- “Conf”, the meter has lost its configuration. Contact your dealer or the nearest Milwaukee Customer Service Center.
ERROR MESSAGES
On zero reading
- Blinking “-0.0-” indicates that the zeroing procedure failed due to a low signal-to-noise ratio. In this case press ZERO again.
- “no L”, the instrument can not adjust the light level. Please check that the sample does not contain any debris.
- “L Lo”, there is not enough light to perform a measurement. Please check the preparation of the zero cuvet.
- “L Hi”, there is too much light to perform a measurement. Please check the preparation of the zero cuvet.
On sample reading
- “-SA-”, there is too much light for the sample measurement. Please check if the right sample cuvet is inserted.
- “Inv”, the sample and the zero cuvet are inverted.
