EPA COMPLIANCE

requirements for colorimeters as found in test procedures that are approved for the National Primary Drinking Water
Regulations (NPDWR) or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) compliance monitoring programs.
EPA-Accepted instruments may be used with approved test procedures without additional approval.
REPLACING LIGHT BULB
Turn the meter over, making sure the battery compartment is in the upper left corner (This is important). Remove the four
screws from the bottom of the colorimeter and remove the base. The burned out light bulb is attached to the small
rectangular circuit located just to the right (your right) of the light chamber. Remove the two screws that connect the
circuit and SAVE THE BURNED OUT LIGHT BULB. The light bulb must be returned to LaMotte Company for
replacement. Make sure the two washers are still in place. Remove the screw in the upper left corner of the colorimeter and
detach the replacement circuit. Replace that screw. When fastening the fresh bulb in place, be sure both washers are
aligned. Align the base to the meter and replace the four original screws.
NOTE: If the replacement bulb is significantly different from the original bulb, the “Set Blank” control may not have
enough range; if so, please call our technical support people for assistance.
