MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
• Select the
Total Chlorine
method using the proce-
dure described in the
Method Selection
section (see
page 11).
• Fill the cuvette with 10 mL of unreacted sample
(up to the mark) and replace the cap.
• Place the cuvette into the holder and close the lid.
10 mL
• Reinsert the cuvette into the instrument.
• Press READ to start the reading. The instrument displays the results
in mg/L of free chlorine.
INTERFERENCES
Interference may be caused by: Bromine, Iodine, Ozone, Oxidized forms of Chromium and Manganese.
In case of water with hardness greater than 500 mg/L CaCO
3
, shake the sample for approximately 2
minutes after adding the powder reagent.
In case of water with alkalinity greater than 250 mg/L CaCO
3
or acidity greater than 150 mg/L CaCO
3
,
the color of the sample may develop only partially, or may rapidly fade. To resolve this, neutralize the
sample with diluted HCl or NaOH.
