MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

1. Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.

2. When the LCD displays “- – -“, the meter is ready.

3. Fill two cuvettes, one with 10 mL of distilled water and one with 10 mL of the unreacted sample, up to the mark.

4. Using the 1 mL syringe add 0.5 mL of CI-1 reagent to each cuvette. Replace the caps and swirl gently for 30 seconds.
   

5. Remove the caps and using the second syringe add 0.5 mL of 0-2 reagent to each cuvette. Replace the caps and swirl gently for 30 seconds.

6. Place the cuvette with distilled water into the holder and ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned securely into the groove.

7. Press and hold READ for three seconds and the display will show the countdown of the timer. Alternatively, wait for 2 minutes.

8. Press ZERO and “SIP” will blink on the display.

9. After a few seconds the display will show “-0.0-“. The meter is now zeroed and ready for measurement.
   

10. Remove the cuvette with distilled water.

11. Insert the cuvette with the sample and ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned securely into the groove.

12. Press READ and “SIP” will blink during measurement.

13. The instrument directly displays concentration in mg/L of chloride.

Interferences

• pH of the sample should be about 2. For alkaline samples, neutralize before adding reagents.
• Color of the sample will cause interferences, they should be adequately treated before performing the test.
• Suspended matter in large amounts should be removed by prior filtration.

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. 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.

“Conf: the meter has lost its configuration. Contact your dealer or the nearest Milwaukee Customer Service Center.
ERROR MESSAGES
On Zero Reading

• Blinking 11-0.0-1 indicates that the zeroing procedure failed due to a low signal-to-noise ratio. In this case press ZERO again.
• no L : the instrument cannot 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 cuvette.
• L Hi: there is too much light to perform a measurement. Please check the preparation of the zero cuvette.

On Sample Reading

• “-SA-: there is too much light for the sample measurement. Please check if the right sample cuvette is inserted.

• “Inv: the sample and the zero cuvette are inverted.

• “ZEr0”, a zero reading was not taken. Follow the instruction in the measurement procedure for zeroing the meter.

• Under range. A blinking “0.0′ indicates that the sample absorbs less light than the zero reference. Check the procedure and make sure you use the same cuvette 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.
