The Pool eXact
®
EZ photometer has a 5 minute automatic shutdown timer.
•
Each test menu can store 20 results. To retrieve the stored results, go to the desired
test using the MENU key. When the desired test is displayed, press and hold down the
MENU key. Continue holding down the MENU key to scroll the stored results for that
test, starting with the most recent result. The meter will display, from memory, the last
20 readings in sequence beginning with -20, which is the latest result, followed by -19,
which is the 2nd latest result, etc; and finally -01, which is the oldest result retained.
Only the last 20 readings are stored in each menu. This meter is able to store 100
results in memory (20 in each menu).
•
Before testing, rinse the meter sample cell with the sample water 3 times.
•
Pool water samples should be taken 18 inches below the surface. Submerge the meter
with open cell facing down 18 inches then turn meter upright at that depth to fill the cell.
Remove meter from water with the sample for testing.
•
Always fill the cell to capacity (4ml); be careful not to splash liquid over the side.
•
Test immediately after filling the cell with the water sample.
•
To obtain optimal accuracy when testing outdoors (sunlight), use the cell cover when
zeroing and reading the sample.
•
Due to the strip slitting process, you may find one or two strips that are noticeably
smaller or larger in width than the normal strips in the bottle. These should be
discarded. Using these strips may give unreliable results.
•
Meter is not compatible for use with powder pillows, tablets, or liquids from other
manufacturers.
•
Dip strip for entire countdown.
•
Each eXact
®
Strip Micro is valid for ONLY one test. Discard strip after use.
•
Dry the outside of the meter before storage.
•
Remove batteries before storing for prolonged periods.
•
Store the meter and test materials out of direct sunlight and away from chemical
storage areas.
•
Minimize exposure of meter and test reagents to heat above 90°F (32°C).
•
When installing batteries, verify the O-ring is still attached to the screw before
tightening.
•
Cleaning the cell with water and brush after each test is recommended for best
accuracy and prior to storage of unit.
