LCD display in PPM or NTU or FLR value DESCRIPTION The FluoroCheck II is a bench top Oil in Water Monitor with a fixed excitation bandpass filter (354 nm) and an emission bandpass filter (450 nm). It is designed specifically for the quantification of low ppm concentration measurements of hydrocarbons (oil) in water.
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. • Only accessories and parts approved or supplied by Arjay Engineering may be used for operating, maintaining, and servicing this product. •...
The FluoroCheck can store up to 10 different calibrations: • Location 0 (DIESEL1) is factory calibrated for solvent extraction testing of refined oils. • Location 1 (CRUDE1) is factory calibrated for solvent extraction testing of crude oils. FluoroCheck II Revision 3.0 P a g e 8 | 25...

Crude Oil: REF A Refined Oils (e.g. Diesel): REF B Periodic re-calibrations using actual prepared or analyzed samples may be desired to maintain a good correlation against local laboratory results. FluoroCheck II Revision 3.0 P a g e 9 | 25...
POWER UP AND MAIN DISPLAY Plug in the power supply to an AC source. Plug in the DC jack into the back of the Fluorocheck II and turn the power switch to on (I). If already powered on, turn the switch off then on again to start this tutorial.

2. Add 10 ml of solvent to your calibration jar using the Solvent dispenser. Do not add solvent to the jar tagged for the lab. 3. Close the lid on the jar and shake the sample for 2 minutes. FluoroCheck II Revision 3.0 P a g e 15 | 25...
8. Wipe the cuvet with clean tissue prior to testing. LED INTENSITY SET-UP The Fluorocheck II uses a UV LED that is driven by current. The more current, the more intense the LED. Different oil types yield different fluorescence energy. Refined and light oils yield lower fluorescence energy and need more UV light.
Select a Calibration Location from # 4 to # 9 to store your calibration, then press <ENTER>. Locations 0-3 are reserved for Factory Calibrations and cannot be changed. The screen will display the following: FluoroCheck II Revision 3.0 P a g e 17 | 25...

Fill the appropriate cuvet to about 3/4 full with the sample and insert into the FluoroCheck. The raw fluorescence (FLR value) is displayed (The FLR value should be greater than Cal point 1) Wait a few seconds for this reading to stabilize and then Press <ENTER>.
