    “OK”, “Low” or “High”. The “PrimeLab Desktop Assistant” will also calculate the dosage recommendation on the basis of the minimum and maximum range limits set by you for the ideal range! In the start menu press button 4 to access the SETUP menu.
  • Page 12: Calibration

    Menu: SET (Setup) Calibration Because of the innovative PrimeLab technology, especially in conjunction with the JENCOLOR MultiColour sensor, it is no longer necessary to return the photometer for calibration. The precision of the sensor is so good that the strength of the light source (LED) is measured and the system is calibrated on basis of the calculated value.
  • Page 13 You first have to perform a „PrimeLab calibration“ !!! See page „SET 4" Calibration steps, as shown below, will be displayd on the PrimeLab as well. Please make sure the standard vials (0.5/10/1000 NTU) are free from fingerprints and dirt.
