TROUBLESHOOTING

• The meter has a 3 minute automatic shutdown timer by default. To change this, go to

Settings in the slide out menu.

•

Before testing, rinse the meter sample cell with the sample water 3 times.

• Always ll the cell to capacity (4ml).

• Test immediately after lling the cell with the water sample.

• To obtain optimal accuracy when testing outdoors (sunlight), use the Cell Cover

when zeroing and reading the sample.

• Due to the strip slitting process, you may nd one or two strips that are noticeably

smaller or larger in width than the normal strips in the bottle. These should be discarded. Using these strips may give unreliable results.

• Meter is not compatible for use with powder pillows, tablets, and liquids from other

manufacturers.

• Dip strip for entire countdown.

• Each eXact

Strip Micro is valid for ONLY one test. Discard strip after use.

• Dry the outside of the meter before storage.

• Remove batteries before storing for prolonged periods.

• Store the meter and test materials out of direct sunlight and away from chemical

storage areas.

• Minimize exposure of meter and test reagents to heat above 90°F (32°C).

• When installing batteries, make sure that the O-ring is still attached to the screw

before tightening.

• Cleaning the cell with water and brush after each test is recommended for best

accuracy and prior to storage of unit. Use Distilled White Vinegar to clean the cell after testing for Phosphate or Iron to remove reagent deposits from cell wall.

aCCURaCY Of ThE EXaCT® iDip

Combined with your smart device, the eXact® iDip® is designed to test your water for multiple water quality parameters. Download the free eXact

iDip® app and sync to your smart device running Bluetooth

Smart Technology

All tests have been calibrated using certi ed reference standards and

analytical spectrophotometric methods. The algorithms in the app

reﬂ ect the best correlation of the eXact

iDip® against the AWWA, USEPA, DIN and ISO reference test methods for chlorine. Independent studies verify the eXact

iDip® repeatedly agrees with a USEPA compliant reference method greater than 99% (R2= 0.99948, 0-5.00 ppm). The eXact

iDip® has been factory calibrated and will stay valid

because of the exceptional quality. We are so con dent in the eXact

iDip®, we offer an industry leading 2-year warranty.

We built the eXact

iDip® to be easy, accurate and environmentally

friendly. We have achieved this by utilizing our patented eXact

Strip Micro Technology, which uses at least 60% less water and chemistry than alternative methods. Instead of using a 10mL water sample, eXact

Strip Micro uses a 4mL water sample. The accuracy of the meter is maintained by designing the sample cell with a 11mm path length.

BLUETOOTh TEChNOLOgY

Bluetooth® is a low-power wireless networking standard which uses short radio waves to allow electronic devices to communicate with each other wirelessly. The eXact

iDip® comes standard with the latest

Bluetooth

4.0 technology (www.bluetooth.com/Pages/Bluetooth-Smart. aspx), a class 2 device with a wireless working distance of up to 30 feet (10 meters) and a 2.1 Mbps data transfer rate. This allows a seamless transfer of data between a smart device and the eXact

iDip®.

aBOUT ThE BUiLT iN saMpLE CELL

The built-in sample cell is made of transparent plastic; the sturdy cell design will last for over 20,000 readings. Scratches on the cell will not compromise

the accuracy of your results because of the cell’s  xed position.

CLEaNiNg ThE CELL

Fill the cell with water and use the enclosed cleaning brush to scrub the CELL thoroughly. Rinse the CELL. You can use dish soap or distilled white vinegar for cleaning the CELL if needed. NEVER use solvents such as acetone.

Standard Methods 4500 - Cl G

COMpLiaNCE TEsTiNg fOR fREE aND TOTaL ChLORiNE

This DPD test system is accepted by most health departments because this test is USEPA (DIN Standard 38 408 G4, ISO 7393/2) accepted for testing requirements for Free and Total Chlorine. The eXact

iDip® meter uses a wavelength of 525nm; and the compliance requirement is that the colorimeter wavelength is between 490 and 530nm. The eXact

Strip Micro CL (DPD-1) uses the same reagents AWWA (American Water Works Association) method 4500-Cl G. It should be understood that the USEPA does not “approve” commercial DPD delivery systems such as reagent powder pillows, tablets,dispensers, or eXact

Strip DPD

delivery devices. The eXact

Strip Micro CL (DPD-1) for Free Chlorine,

and the eXact

Strip Micro CL (DPD-3) or the eXact® Strip Micro CL (DPD-4) for Total Chlorine meet your reportable testing requirements because the eXact

Strip Micro CL delivers the same chemicals in identical proportions (see table below); therefore, the system is compliant. Likewise, AWWA proportions are followed as required for Total Chlorine measurements using Potassium Iodide.

WaRRaNTY (2 YEaRs)

Registration of your eXact® photometer must be received within 30 days from date of purchase to activate the warranty. The eXact

photometer is warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of two (2) years from the date of purchase by the customer. ITS will repair or replace, at its discretion, product which is deemed to be faulty due to manufacturing defect. Warranty does not cover product damage caused by abuse (such as crushing a tablet in the cell), battery corrosion damage, or improper use. If the meter is faulty or otherwise defective contact ITS by phone (+1-803-329-9712 Ext. 0) or email ([email protected]) to describe the problem and obtain a return authorization form before returning the photometer to ITS. Damage caused by improper packing of the photometer for return shipment to ITS will not be covered by the warranty. Customer is responsible for shipping charges to ITS. ITS pays postage when photometer is returned to customer. A maximum processing fee of $75 will be charged for repair or replacement of nonregistered photometers and damages not covered by this warranty. Registration is available over the phone (+1-803-329-9712 Ext. 0) or online at http://www.sensafe.

com/micro/warranty/ (Personal data is kept condential). The repair or replacement

of the photometer will not extend or renew the period of guarantee. This warranty does not affect your statutory rights. The warranty is not transferable.
