Chlorine 0,05 - 6,0 mg/l
(a) Free Chlorine
Perform zero calibration (see "Operation").
0.0.0 Empty the vial and then add a DPD No. 1 tablet. Crush
the tablet with a clean stirring rod then add the water
sample to the 10 ml mark. Mix well with the stirring rod
to dissolve the tablet. Replace the cap tightly and place
the vial in the sample chamber making sure the Δ and ∇
marks are aligned.
Zero
Test Press the ZERO/TEST key.
Cl The method symbol flashes for approx. 3 seconds.
The result is shown in the display in mg/l free chlorine.

(b) Total Chlorine
Remove the vial and add one DPD No. 3 tablet to the
coloured test solution. Mix to dissolve with the stirring rod.
Replace the cap tightly and place the vial in the sample
chamber making sure the Δ and ∇ marks are aligned.
Wait for a colour reaction time of two minutes.
Zero
Press the ZERO/TEST key.

Cl The method symbol flashes for approx. 3 seconds.
R E S U L T R E S U L T The result is shown in the display in mg/l total chlorine.
Rinse the vial and cap thoroughly after each test.
(c) Combined Chlorine
Combined Chlorine = Total Chlorine - Free Chlorine
Tolerance: 0-1 mg/l: ± 0.05 mg/l > 3-4 mg/l: ± 0.30 mg/l
pH-value 6,5 - 8,4
Perform zero calibration (see "Operation").

Remove the vial from the sample chamber. Add a
PHENOLRED/PHOTOMETER tablet and mix to dissolve
using a clean stirring rod. Replace the cap tightly and
place the vial in the sample chamber making sure the Δ

Add a CYANURIC ACID tablet and mix well to dissolve
the tablet using a clean stirring rod. The presence of
cyanuric acid will cause the solution to take on a milky
appearance. Replace the cap tightly and shake the vial
for about 20 seconds. Place the vial in the sample
chamber making sure the Δ and ∇ marks are aligned.
