5 4. Performance Specifications ionoval mono is a photometer for determining the concentration of water contents (see table under point 11). The microprocessor-controlled instrument functions photometrically (LED) and is primarily used in the fields of water treatment, sewage water, swimming pools and drinking water. The highly integrated electronics, simple operation and large digital display enable quick and precise analytical determination. The basic version is powered via a 9 V battery. The last 100 measuring results can be stored with a consecutive number, the measuring point, parameters and the time and date. 4.1 Performance features Large, easy-to-read display Simple menu structure Save up to 100 measuring values in a ring buffer (can be switched off) (measurement no., measuring point, parameters, measuring value, time and date) Delete saved measurements View saved data directly at the instrument Read saved data via the IR interface 1 Read and adjust the settings (store, beep, timer) via IR interface 1 Real-time clock (set the time and date directly at the instrument) Transfer the PC system time and date via IR interface 1 Output of a beep when pressing keys (can be switched off) Timer with time display (countdown) and acoustic signal output once the reaction time of the reagent has expired (can be switched off) Display in ppm or mg/l Measuring point (can be set from 1-9) Battery voltage display Energy saving mode (instrument switches off automatically after 5 minutes) Measuring range (see table under point 11) Operation with power supply unit (9V DC), (optionally available) 1 only with optionally available IR interface 5.

7 7. Commissioning After removing the switch-on guard (white plastic part at the power supply connection), the instrument is switched on in battery mode. The instrument is always in measuring mode after switching it on. The instrument will switch off automatically (energy saving mode) (except when in PC mode) if it is not operated or no key is pressed for 5 minutes. If a power supply unit is used, the inserted battery is switched off. Note: If the instrument is operated without an inserted battery but with a power supply unit and is disconnected from the mains, the instrument will be in exactly the same mode as before disconnection once the power is reconnected. If the instrument is in sleep mode (automatic switch off), press any key to switch it on again. 7.1 General instructions Only operate the instrument in the ambient conditions (e.g. temperature) specified in the chapter entitled Technical Data. Always protect the instrument against moisture. It should never come into contact with condensation or splash water. The instrument should only be used for its specified intended purpose. 7.2 Settings of the measuring instrument It is recommended to carry out instrument settings during initial commissioning. These settings are saved and can be changed at any time if required. They are divided into the following settings and advanced functions. 7 / 13

9 9. Calibration Every time the instrument is switched on the CAL symbol on the display flashes as a reminder that calibration must be carried out. 9.1 Inserting the test cell and calibrating Take a test cell from the portable lab, rinse it with the water sample (without reagents) and fill it up to the mark. When using the test cell please observe the following: - The test cell should be clean and dry - When inserting the test cell the gap in the mark must face towards the display 9.2 Calibration error "Err1" If the error message "Err1" is displayed, a calibration error has occurred (e.g. test cell is soiled). The instrument remains in calibration mode and after reinserting the test cell the calibration process can be continued by pressing the START key. 10. Measuring 10.1 Inserting the test cell and measuring After calibration (see 9.1) add 2 dosing spoons full of nitrite reagent and stirr with the red spoon until everything has dissolved. When inserting the test cell into the instrument, ensure that the mark (gap) of the test cell faces towards the display to achieve consistent measuring results. Insert the test cell into the test cell slot and press the START key to commence measuring. After pressing the START key and if the timer has been set, the measured value is automatically displayed once the reaction time (15 minutes) has expired. The display indicates that the reaction time has expired. Press the SET key to interrupt the timer and to cancel the measurement. If the store has been activated, the current storage location number is displayed for each measurement. If the timer has been switched off, a reaction time of 15 minutes has to be adhered to. Once the reaction time has expired, press the START key to trigger measuring. 9 / 13

10 10.2 Possible measuring errors and their remedy If Err2 appears, the reagent being measured is "lighter" than the liquid used for calibration. Please check whether calibration has been carried out with the correct liquid; if necessary, recalibrate and subsequently repeat the measurement. If Err2 is still displayed, check your reagent and, if necessary, renew it. Subsequently carry out a new measurement. If Err4 appears after the measurement, the sample being measured is too dark. The measuring range has been exceeded. In this case, measure the water sample after previous dilution. To achieve this, multiply the measured value displayed by the instrument with the dilution factor. 11. Overview of Available Parameters Parameter Measuring range Instrument article no.
