Functional Description
Errors and Warnings
Light High:
There is too much light to perform a measurement. Please
check the preparation of the zero cuvette.
Light Low:
There is not enough light to perform a measurement. Please
check the preparation of the zero cuvette.
Inverted Cuvettes:
The sample and the zero cuvette are inverted.
Under Range:
A blinking
“0.00”
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.
Over Range:
A flashing value of the maximum concentration indicates
the reading is over range. Dilute the sample and re-run the test.
Battery Low:
The battery must be replaced soon.
Dead Battery:
This indicates that the battery is dead and must be
replaced. Once this indication is displayed, normal operation of the
instrument will be interrupted. Change the battery and restart the meter.
