SECTION 3
OPERATING THE CHLOROCHEK
3.5 Conditioning (continued)
9 Using one of the pipette guides found on the sensor carriage, place the loaded pipette tip as near as
possible in the center of the stirring Working Solution. Dispense the sample above the working solution,
allowing the sample to drop into the working solution. Avoid dispensing the sample near the electrodes
or the sides of the beaker. Press the pipette piston down to the second pressure point to completely
eject the solution. Remove the pipette from pipette guide and discard the tip.
10 When the ChloroChek recognizes the added standard solution, the display will read: CONDITIONING.
11 When the conditioning is complete, the ChloroChek is ready to use.
NOTE:
In cases where conditioning is not successful, user must clean the electrodes and prepare a new Working Solution
(see Section 3.3).
NOTE:
On rare occasions the ChloroChek may skip the conditioning step and move directly to the 'Conditioning
Successful' screen. This usually happens when the electrodes are new or extremely clean. If this occurs and
'Conditioning Successful' appears on the screen, run the Quality Control solutions (Section 3.5). If Quality Control
solutions produce the expected results, the ChloroChek is validated and ready to test unknown samples.
