MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
• Select the Phosphorus, Reactive method following one of the procedures described in the “Method
Selection” section (see page 15).
• Remove the cap from a Reagent Vial.
• Add exactly 5.0 mL of sample to the vial, while keeping the
vial at a 45-degree angle.
• Replace the cap and mix by inverting the vial a couple of
times. This is the blank.
• Place the vial into the holder and push it completely down.
• Press the Zero key. The instrument will perform a zero sequence
and after a few seconds the display will show “ -0.0-”. Now the
meter is zeroed and ready for measurement.
• Remove the vial.
