Certification

Canadian Radio Interference-Causing Equipment Regulation,

IECS-003, Class A:

Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer.

This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian

Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

English 5

Cet appareil numérique de classe A répond à toutes les exigences de

la réglementation canadienne sur les équipements provoquant des

interférences.

FCC Part 15, Class "A" Limits

Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer. The device

complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the

following conditions:

1. The equipment may not cause harmful interference.

2. The equipment must accept any interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired operation.

Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by

the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to

operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to

comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part

15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated

in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can

radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a

residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case

the user will be required to correct the interference at their expense.

The following techniques can be used to reduce interference problems:

1. Move the equipment away from the device receiving the

interference.

2. Reposition the receiving antenna for the device receiving the

interference.

3. Try combinations of the above.

Chemical exposure hazard. Obey laboratory safety procedures and

wear all of the personal protective equipment appropriate to the

chemicals that are handled. Refer to the current safety data sheets

(MSDS/SDS) for safety protocols.

The basic measurement steps necessary to run a test follow. Refer to

the applicable method to run a specific test.

1. Select the applicable measurement range or parameter. Refer to

Configure the instrument on page

11.

2. Prepare the blank according to the method document. Make sure to

use the correct sample cell size. Rinse the sample cell and cap with

the blank before the sample cell is filled.

3. Close the sample cell and clean the optical faces of the sample cell

with a lint-free cloth.

4. Insert the blank sample cell into the cell holder. Make sure to install

the blank sample cell in the correct and consistent orientation so

that the results are more repeatable and precise. Refer to Figure 6.

5. Install the instrument cap over the cell holder. Refer to Figure 7.

6. Push

to set the instrument zero. The display shows "0.000", or

the degree of resolution that was previously selected.

7. Prepare the sample. Rinse the sample cell and cap with the sample

three times before the sample cell is filled. Add reagents as

specified by the method document.

8. Close the sample cell and clean the optical surfaces of the cell with

a lint-free cloth.

9. Insert the sample into the cell holder. Make sure to install the

Maintenance

C A U T I O N

Multiple hazards. Only qualified personnel must conduct the tasks

described in this section of the document.

N O T I C E

Do not disassemble the instrument for maintenance. If the internal components

must be cleaned or repaired, contact the manufacturer.

Clean the instrument

Clean the exterior of the instrument with a moist cloth and a mild soap

solution and then wipe the instrument dry.

Clean the sample cells

C A U T I O N

Chemical exposure hazard. Obey laboratory safety procedures and

wear all of the personal protective equipment appropriate to the

chemicals that are handled. Refer to the current safety data sheets

(MSDS/SDS) for safety protocols.

C A U T I O N

Chemical exposure hazard. Dispose of chemicals and wastes in

accordance with local, regional and national regulations.

Most laboratory detergents are used at recommended concentrations.

Neutral detergents, such as Liquinox, are safer to use when regular

cleaning is necessary. To decrease the cleaning times, increase the

temperature or use an ultrasonic bath. To complete the cleaning, rinse

a few times with deionized water and then let the sample cell air dry.

Sample cells may also be cleaned with acid, followed by a thorough

rinse with deionized water.

Note: Always use acid to clean sample cells that were used for low-level metal

tests.

16 English

Special cleaning methods are necessary for individual procedures.

When a brush is used to clean sample cells, take extra care to avoid

scratches on the interior surfaces of the sample cells.

Replace the batteries

Replace the batteries when the battery power level is low. Refer to

Install the batteries

on page 7.

Troubleshooting

Error Description Solution

E-0 No zero In user calibration mode, a standard solution

was measured before the instrument zero was

set. Measure a blank solution to set the

instrument to zero.

E-1 Ambient light

error

1

There is ambient light in the cell holder. Make

sure that the instrument cap is fully installed

over the cell holder.

E-2 LED error

1

The LED (light source) is out of regulation.

Replace the batteries. Make sure that the LED

in the cell holder comes on when or is

pushed.

E-3

Standard adjust

error

• The measured value of the standard solution

is more than the adjustment limits. Prepare a

fresh standard.

•

The standard solution is not within the

concentration range that can be used for

standard calibration adjust. Prepare a

standard with a value at or near the

recommended concentrations given in the

procedure.

• Make sure that the concentration of the

standard solution is entered correctly.

E-6 Abs error The absorbance value is not correct or the

user-entered calibration curve has fewer than

two points. Enter or measure the absorbance

value again.

English 17

Error Description Solution

E-7 Standard value

error

The standard solution concentration is equal to

another standard solution concentration that is

already entered in the user-entered calibration

curve. Enter the correct standard concentration.

E-9 Flash error The instrument is not able to save data.

Reading

flashes

The reading is

more or less than

the instrument

range.

2

If the reading is less than the instrument range,

make sure that the instrument cap is fully

installed over the cell holder. Measure a blank.

If the blank reading is not zero, set the

instrument to zero again.

If the reading is more than the instrument

range, identify if there is a light blockage in the

cell holder. Dilute the sample. Do the test again.

For factory-calibrated programs, the maximum

and minimum values always equal the factory-

calibrated values and cannot be changed.

1

When an E-1 or E-2 error occurs on a measurement, the display shows

“_.__”. The decimal place depends on the chemistry. If the E-1 or E-2 error

occurs while the instrument is set to zero, set the instrument to zero again.

2

The flashing value will be 10% over the upper test range limit.

Replacement parts

W A R N I N G
