TEST INSTRUCTIONS - Geotech Environmental Equipment

PROCEDURE
Use 10 mm square cell adapter.
1. Press and hold ON button until colorimeter turns on.
2. Press ENTER to start.
3. Press ENTER to select Testing Menu.
4. Select ALL TESTS (or another sequence containing 16 Cl Free-UDV)
from TESTING MENU.
5. Scroll to and select 16 Cl Free-UDV from menu.
6. Rinse a clean vial (0156) with sample water.
7. Use the syringe (1184) to add 3mL of sample to the vial.
8. Insert the vial into chamber, close the lid and select SCAN BLANK.
9. Remove the vial from the colorimeter.
10. Use the syringe (1184) to add 3mL of sample to a *Free Chlorine UDV
vial (4311).
11. Shake vigorously until powder dissolves completely.
NOTE: If powder residue remains in the bottom of the vial after inverting
or air bubbles form, invert once more and tap bottom of vial sharply once
or twice to dislodge powder and bubbles. Mix.
12. Immediately insert tube into chamber, close lid and select SCAN SAMPLE.
Record result in ppm free chlorine.
13. Press OFF button to turn the colorimeter off or press EXIT button to exit

NOTES: For best possible results, a reagent blank should be determined to
account for any contribution to the test result by the reagent system. To
determine the reagent blank, follow the above test procedure to scan a distilled
or deionized water blank. Then follow the above procedure to perform the test
on a distilled or deionized water sample. This test result is the reagent blank.
Subtract the reagent blank from all subsequent test results of unknown samples.
It is necessary to determine the reagent blank only when a new lot number of
reagents are obtained.
UDVs from opened pouches should be used promptly. Store unused vials from
opened pouches in the Foil Storage Bag (9467) to extend the shelf life of the
reagent. Generally, UDVs stored in the bag should be used within 10 days if
the humidity is less than 50% and within 5 days if humidity is greater than
50%. The Foil Storage Bag contains a desiccant pack with indicator. When
the indicator in the window turns from blue to pink, the bag should be
replaced.
