AQUA-CHECK 3.2 Preparing measurement You require two test tubes to measure a parameter. Both test tubes are vertical and are filled to the mark with test water. The difference between reference tubes and measuring tubes is important in the following. The recesses/holes in the measuring device’s delivered packaging are suitable for firm and steady storage. If indicators are used or the measurement, you perform the actions in acc. with the indicator instructions before the measurement.
AQUA-CHECK With the “Please slide in measuring tube!” message you push the measuring tube in carefully with your hand until it stops. AQUA-CHECK www.aqua-check.de Ensure that there is nothing stuck in the measurement openings. This could damage the optics. “Ready for reference” appears when the measuring tube is in the right position.
