4. Do not introduce air bubbles into the disk. The reagent
chambers will not fill entirely and results will be inaccurate. As
soon as a bubble starts to form, pull back on the plunger to
draw the bubble out of the disk. Begin the filling process again.
5. Wet disks should be dried thoroughly with a lint free wipe. The
disk should be handled by the edges.
6. Disks should be filled and used within 10 minutes. They cannot be filled ahead of time.
For filling and troubleshooting tips go to:
FILLING: Multiple-Use Disks
When the syringe is placed in the water sample, and the plunger is
pulled all the way up, the syringe will hold more than enough water
sample to adequately fill the disk. Hold the syringe vertically and
insert the tip into the fill hole in the disk. Press the plunger slowly and
smoothly to fill the disk. Sections do not have to be filled in order. The
meter will detect which section was most recently filled.
1. Fill any unused section of the disk using slow, even pressure. Add
the sample water until the Blank Chamber is full and the Over Flow
Chamber is partially filled.
2. Do not overfill the disk. If the disk is overfilled, sample water will flow
out of the vent hole in the center of the disk. If this happens sample
water may flow into a reagent chamber prematurely and results will
not be accurate. Begin a new test in the next chamber.
3. Do not under fill the disk. If the disk is under filled, the blank chamber
will not be full. The reagent chambers will not fill entirely and results
will be inaccurate.
4. Do not introduce air bubbles into the disk. The reagent chambers
will not fill entirely and results will be inaccurate. As soon as a bubble
starts to form, pull back on the plunger to draw the bubble out of the
disk. Begin the filling process again.
