ERROR MESSAGES

Over Range

If the message  OVERRANGE  is displayed when scanning a sample, the sample may be 

over range or under range. If the sample is over range, the sample should be diluted and 

tested again (see Sample Dilution Techniques and Volumetric Measurements).

If overrange is displayed, scroll to 

Calibrate

 

and press 

ENTER

 to view the result. The 

concentration is only an 

approximation

Press 

EXIT

 and continue testing.

Note: If 

EXIT

 is not pressed the meter will 

calibrate on the over range result.
Note: Over range results will also be 
displayed in the test log.

CALIBRATION

As with all pre-calibrated meters, it is highly recommended, even if not required by 

regulations, that the user periodically verify the performance of the meter by running 

standards with a predetermined concentration. Results outside of specification are 

an indication that the meter needs to be adjusted. This can be done following the user 

calibration.

STRAY LIGHT

The colorimeter should have no problems with stray light. Make sure that the sample 

compartment lid is always fully closed.
