TURN METER ON
Press the
button to power the meter on; the display will show annunciators, followed by
the current selection. It will then display the last reading.
RINSE & FILL CELL WITH SAMPLE
Rinse the
CELL
at least 3 times with the water sample you will be testing—rinsing minimizes
the potential for cross–contamination from a previous test. Finally, using the supplied syringe,
carefully add exactly 3.0mL of water sample to the
CELL
. NOTE: Make sure there are no air
bubbles present in the syringe when measuring the 3.0mL sample.
SELECT GROUP & MENU
Press and re–press the
button to
Select Group
. Press and re–press the
button to
select the test parameter
(see chart on pages 6–7).

Precaution: Ensure that the bottle is straight when
dispensing drops.

ZERO METER
*
Press the
button. The cursor will move across the display followed by
0 PPM
. This will
indicate that the sample is ready for testing.

DIP STRIP & PRESS READ
Using the required strip
(see chart on pages 6–7),
dip strip into the
CELL
, and immediately
press
to initiate a 20 second countdown. Move the strip using a gentle back and
forth motion (approx. 2 strokes/sec).
Remove and discard the strip after “1” on the
display disappears
.

The cursor will move across the display while the meter prepares to
measure the sample. Record the value displayed for the respective parameter. This value is
automatically stored in its
MENU
and if using the eXact iDip
®
app, the result will be saved in the
app’s
‘RESULTS’.
After testing, rinse
CELL
immediately and clean with the brush.

—
A.
These tests are volume
dependent, so do not spill or splash sample out of cell. For optimal accuracy, the proper water sample
to reagent ratio must be maintained.
B.
When
fi
lling the syringe in step 3, make sure there are no air
bubbles present in the syringe.
C.
To obtain optimal accuracy when testing in direct sunlight, use the
Mixing Cap/Cell Cover when zeroing and reading the sample.
D.
It is recommended to use the Cell
Cleaning Brush with water to clean the CELL after each test to remove reagents which coat the CELL
wall.
E.
Be careful while dipping the strip (step 6). Do not spill the sample from the CELL.
F.
The eXact
®
Reagent color may change to pink over the course of time. This will not affect testing results.
Follow the steps to
‘SELECT CUSTOMER’
&
‘CONNECT DEVICE VIA BLUETOOTH’
before
proceeding (see page 12).
