  1. Instrument care • Wipe cells dry with lint free tissue before inserting into instrument. • Empty the cells and rinse with de-ionised water. • Dry the packing foam if wet. • Thoroughly clean and dry unit if wet. • Always use the carrying case. 22

  2. Instrument settings - HACH Pocket Colorimeter • Two ranges • Low (0.00 – 2.20 mg/L). • High (0.0 – 4.5 mg/L) Total Only. • Switching ranges • Press Zero & Read simultaneously. • After one second, release the Zero button – keep holding the Read button. 23

  3. Calibration check • Monthly • Using a DPD Secondary Standard Kit (kept in • Regional or District offices) • Instrument MUST be in Low range when checking calibration • Kit is good for 2 years • Store kits in cool place 24

  4. Chlorine calibration secondary standards 25

  5. Chlorine calibration secondary standards These standards have a use-by date and must not be used after they expire. 26

  6. Chlorine calibration check • Calibration check must be carried out in the • Low Range only. • The calibration kit contains a Blank. • Only use this Blank with the calibration check • and NOT with water samples. • The correct standard chlorine concentrations • are printed under the lid of the standards kit lid. 27

  7. You need to keep a record of the results for your chlorine colorimeter data sheet Below is an example of a calibration check data sheet Calibration of HACH Pocket Colorimeter – {enter ID Number of Instrument} 28

  8. Accepted tolerance • Chlorine values beyond the stated tolerance indicate the colorimeter is out of specification. • As a guide, when chlorine values are more than : • ± 0.03 mg/L for Std 1 • ± 0.03 mg/L for Std 2 • ± 0.04 mg/L for Std 3 • The unit must be sent to Water Technologies Section for checking – Contact Mr Kevin Xanthis 29

  9. Error messages (for the blue unit) E1 -Unstable Reading E2 -Low Light Error E3 -Low Battery Message E7 -Improper Calibration Flashing 0.00 – Under range Flashing 2.20 – Over range in LO range Flashing 5.0 – Over range in HI range 30

  10. Reporting procedure • Water Corporation specifies approved procedures for reporting test results. • Use the correct forms supplied at your worksite. • Submit them in a timely manner as described at your work site. 31
