The cursor will move to
the right, then the result
in mg/L chlorine dioxide
will be displayed.
Note: If the sample
temporarily turns yellow
after reagent addition, or the
display flashes
“limit”

due to high chlorine dioxide
levels. Dilute a fresh sample
with chlorine dioxide-free
water and repeat the test. A
slight loss of chlorine dioxide
may occur during dilution.
Multiply the result by the
dilution factor.
