  • Page 2: Safety Notes

    After using the PHMB reagent, be sure to follow the instructions in section 10.12 PHMB as otherwise, discolouration of the cuvette may occur, which will falsify later measurement results. The photometers of the PCE-CP series are also suitable for salt water pools / pools with salt electrolysis.

  • Page 3: System Description

    SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Device The photometers of the PCE-CP series are suitable for the determination of water quality on the basis of up to thirteen different parameters. The field of application ranges from maintenance and servicing of pool systems to more complex series of measurements in a laboratory environment. For the latter, the automatic storage of measured values which can be read out and documented via a Bluetooth interface using the provided software or app is of particular interest.
