[. . . ] · Wipe the cuvette thoroughly with a lint-free tissue (HI731318) before inserting into the measurement cell. The cuvette must be completely free of fingerprints and other oil or dirt, particularly in the area where the light goes through (approximately the bottom 2 cm/1 inch of the cuvette). · Place the cuvette into the cell and check that the notch on the cap is positioned securely into the groove. · The mark on the cuvette cap should point towards the LCD. 7 · Press the READ key and the LCD will display a blinking "SIP" (Sampling In Progress). The measured value will appear after approximately 25 seconds. SOURCES OF INTERFERENCE · Presence of floating debris and coarse sediment which settle out rapidly will give false readings. · The infrared light source used for C124 Haze meter can effectively minimize errors due to coloured dissolved substances. This effect, named "true colour", is a common interference for most commercially available instruments operating in the range of visible light. · Air bubbles and the effect of vibrations that disturb the surface of the sample will give false results. · Dirty glassware could also affect readings along with scratched or edged cuvette. LOG-ON-DEMAND · The meter can store up to 199 measurements in the internal memory. Press the STO key: the last measured value will be stored and the display will show the reference number of the stored sample. · When the maximum number of samples (199) is reached, the LCD will display the "FULL" message to warn the user that next value will overwrite the oldest sample recorded. All samples will be shifted (reference number reduced by one) and the ref. number one will continue to indicate the oldest value. To confirm storing of the current sample, press the STO button again. CLEARING LOGGED DATA · For clearing all data stored in memory, press ALT+CLR keys: the meter will ask for confirmation by displaying the "CLr" message. Press ALT+CLR again to clear memory or any button to abort the operation. 8 VIEWING LOGGED DATA · Press ALT+VIEW keys: the last sample will be displayed. · Press the "right arrow" key to scroll among turbidity value, date and time of the sample. · Press the "up/down arrow" keys to view next sample and use the "right arrow" to scroll the date and time. · Press ALT+VIEW again to exit and return to measurement mode.
