Safety precautions

CAUTION

Reagents are formulated exclusively for chemical analysis and must not be used for 

any other purpose. Reagents must not get into the hands of children. Some of the 

reagents contain substances which are not entirely harmless environmentally. Be 

aware of the ingredients and take proper care when disposing of the test solution.

CAUTION

Please read this instruction manual before unpacking, setting up or using the 

photometer. Please read the method description completely before performing 

the test. Be aware of the risks of using the required reagents by reading the MSDS 

(Material Safety Data Sheets). Failure could result in serious injury to the operator or 

damage to the instrument.

MSDS: www.tintometer.de

CAUTION

The accuracy of the instrument is only valid if the instrument is used in an  

environment with controlled electromagnetic disturbances according to DIN 61326.

Wireless devices, e.g. wireless phones, must not be used near the instrument.
