4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
POSSIBLE CHLORINE INTERFERENCE: Alkalinity above 200 mg/L (CaCO3) and
presence of bromine, bromides, chlorine dioxide, copper ions, iodine, manganese
ions, chromium ions, monochloramines, ozone and peroxides.
pH analysis
After performing the Zeroing:
13) Open the instrument lid and remove the cuvette of the measurement
compartment;
14) Remove the cuvette lid with the sample used in the zeroing;
15) Add 5 phenol red pH reagent drops in the sample, holding the reagent bottle in
vertical position during the drops addition;
16) Close the cuvette with its lid, observing the correct fit to avoid leaks in the
instrument;
17) Gently shake the cuvette to homogenize the sample;
18) Clean and dry the outer wall of the cuvette by using a cleaning wipe or a soft
paper towel;
19) Insert the cuvette in Cloro-pH Max's measurement compartment, aligning the
arrow on the cuvette with the alignment mark located on the instrument's
measurement compartment;
20) Close the instrument's measurement lid to avoid reading interferences;
21) With the instrument on a table or in a horizontal position, press briefly the
button. Will appear on the display Analyzing...
22) View on the display the pH sample's measurement value;
23) To save in the instrument the reading value, press the
GENERAL NOTES:
After chlorine and pH measurements, always discard the analyzed samples
and wash the cuvette with distilled (or deionized) water, avoiding accumulation
of residues in the cuvette.
Be very careful when handling the cuvettes! Scratches, stains and marks may
compromise measurements values.
Prevent liquids from entering the measurement compartment, because this
can cause irreversible damage to the circuit.
ADJUST
Cloro-pH Max can be adjusted in 6 points of chlorine and 5 of pH, respecting the
following sequence:
Chlorine: 0ppm 0.5ppm 1.0ppm 2.0ppm 3.0ppm 4.0ppm
