Errors and warnings:
ON ZERO READING:
Light High: There is too much light to perform a
measurement. Please check the preparation of the
zero cuvet.
Light Low: There is not enough light to perform a
measurement. Please check the preparation of the
zero cuvet.
No Light:The instrument cannot adjust the light
level. Please check that the samples does not contain
any debris.
ON SAMPLE READING:
Inverted cuvets: The sample and the zero cuvet
are inverted.
Zero: A zero reading was not taken. Follow the
instructions of the measurement procedure for zero-
ing the meter.
Under range: A blinking "0" indicates that the
silica content in the sample is less than 0 mg/L.
Over Range: A flashing value of the maximum
concentration indicates an over range condition. The
concentration of the sample is beyond the
programmed range: dilute the sample and re-run
the test.
DURING CALIBRATION PROCEDURE:
Standard Low: The standard reading is out of
range.
Standard High: The standard reading is out of
range.
OTHER ERRORS AND WARNINGS:
Cap error: Appears when external light enters in
the analysis cell. Assure that the cuvet cap is present.
Cooling lamp: The instrument waits for the lamp
to cool down.
Battery low: The battery voltage is getting low
and the battery needs to be replaced.
Dead battery: This indicates that the battery is
dead and must be replaced. Once this indication
is displayed, the meter will lock up. Change the
battery and restart the meter.
Measurement procedure:
Measurement
1• Turn the meter on by pressing

ON/OFF.
2• When the beeper sounds and the LCD
displays dashes, the meter is ready.
The blinking "ZERO" indicates that
the instrument needs to be zeroed first.

3• Fill the cuvet with 10 mL of unreacted
sample, up to the mark, and replace the
cap.

4• Place the cuvet into the cuvet holder
and ensure that the notch on the cap
is positioned securely into the groove.
5-6
5• Press ZERO/CFM and the instrument
status indicator will appear on the
display, depending on the measurement
phase.
6• After a few seconds the display will
show "-0.0-". The meter is now
zeroed and ready for measurement.
7• Remove the cuvet.
