Aqua
Flash on and wait until the warm up has
completed
2 Press the CAL VAL button to see what the calibration value is set to
3 Obtain an Adjustable Solid Secondary Standard (SSS) and loosen the small black
locking hex screw located on the back of the SSS.
4 Holding the SSS by the tab, insert it with the tab at the back of the sample
compartment and close the sample compartment lid
NOTE: The AquaFlash should be on a flat surface when reading the
Adjustable Solid Secondary Standard (SSS).
5 Press the READ button
a. If the CHL value displayed is lower than the calibration value determined in step
2, adjust the SSS to give you a larger response by rotating the silver hex screw
located at the top of the SSS counterclockwise and re-read the SSS.
b. If the CHL value displayed is higher than the calibration value determined in step
2, adjust the SSS to give a smaller response by rotating the silver hex screw
located at the top of the SSS clockwise and re-read the SSS.
6 Continue adjusting and reading the SSS until the CHL value displayed matches the
calibration value +/-5% determined in step 2.
7 When finished, tighten the locking screw on the back by turning clockwise to lock the
SSS
’s response.
8 Insert the SSS into the instrument.
9 Press the CHK STD button.
a. If the setting is valid, the
Aqua
