PROCEDURE<br />
Use 10 mm square cell adapter.<br />
1. Press and hold ON button until colorimeter turns on.<br />
2. Press ENTER to start.<br />
3. Press ENTER to select <strong>TEST</strong>ING MENU.<br />
4. Select ALL <strong>TEST</strong>S (or another sequence containing 13 Ca&Mg H-UDV)<br />
from <strong>TEST</strong>ING MENU.<br />
5. Scroll to and selec t 13 Ca&Mg Hard-UDV from menu.<br />
6. Rinse a clean vial (0156) with sample water.<br />
7. Use the syringe (1184) to add 3 mL of sample to the vial.<br />
8. Insert the vial into chamber, close lid and select SCAN BLANK.<br />
9. Remove vial from the colorimeter.<br />
10. Use the syringe (1184) to add 3 mL of sample to a Calcium Hardness<br />
UDV vial (4309).<br />
11. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds.<br />
12. Wait one minute.<br />
13. Invert vial 3 times to mix.<br />
NOTE: Firmly tap side of vial 5-10 times to remove all air bubbles.<br />
14. Insert tube into chamber, close lid and select SCAN SAMPLE. Record<br />
result.<br />
15. Press OFF button to turn the colorimeter off or press EXIT button to exit<br />
to a previous menu or make another menu selection.<br />
NOTES: For best possible results, a reagent blank should be determined to<br />
account for any contribution to the test result by the reagent system. To<br />
determine the reagent blank, follow the above test procedure to scan a distilled<br />
or deionized water blank. Then follow the above procedure to perform the test<br />
on a distilled or deionized water sample. This test result is the reagent blank.<br />
Subtract the reagent blank from all subsequent test results of unknown samples.<br />
It is necessary to determine the reagent blank only when a new lot number of<br />
reagents are obtained.<br />
UDVs from opened pouches should be used promptly. Store unused vials from<br />
opened pouches in the Foil Storage Bag (9467) to extend the shelf life of the<br />
reagent. Generally, UDVs stored in the bag should be used within 10 days if<br />
the humidity is less than 50% and within 5 days if humidity is greater than<br />
50%. The Foil Storage Bag contains a desiccant pack with indicator. When<br />
the indicator in the window turns from blue to pink, the bag should be<br />
replaced.<br />
