FOR BEST ACCURACY

The Pool eXact® EZ photometer has a 5 minute auto-shutoff timer.

Each test menu can store 20 results. To retrieve the stored results, go to the desired test using the MENU key. When the desired test is displayed, press and hold down the MENU key. Continue holding down the MENU key to scroll the stored results for that test, starting with the most recent result. The meter will display, from memory, the last 20 readings in sequence beginning with -20, which is the latest result, followed by -19, which is the 2nd latest result, etc; and ﬁ nally -01, which is the oldest result retained. Only the last 20 readings are stored in each menu. This meter is able to store 160 results in memory (20 in each menu).

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

Always ﬁ ll the cell to capacity (4mL); be careful not to splash liquid over the side.

Test immediately after ﬁ 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 ﬁ 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, or 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, verify 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.

Manufacturing quality products since 1989

POOL EXACT® EZ ACCURACY

All tests have been calibrated using certiﬁ ed reference standards and analytical spectrophotometric methods. The Pool eXact

®

EZ has been factory calibrated and will stay valid because of its exceptional quality. We are so conﬁ dent in the Pool eXact

®

EZ,

we offer an industry leading 2-year warranty.

We built the Pool eXact

®

EZ to be easy, accurate and environmentally friendly. We have achieved this by utilizing our patented eXact

®

Strip Micro Technology, which uses 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 an 11mm path-length.

25

Sensafe.com

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. Our studies have shown that scratches on the cell will not compromise the accuracy of your results because of the cell’s ﬁ xed position.

WARRANTY (2 YEARS)

Registration of your Pool eXact® EZ photometer must be received within 30 days from date of purchase to activate the warranty. Registration is available over the phone (+1-803-329-9712 Ext. 0) or online at

sensafe.com/micro/

warranty/

(Personal data is kept conﬁ dential). The Pool eXact® EZ 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 non-registered photometers and damages not covered by this warranty. 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.

ABOUT

Ready Snap® 3 is a calibration veriﬁ cation solution with predetermined color to verify the accuracy of your Pool eXact® EZ photometer.

The easy 3 step procedure (snap, ﬁ ll, and test) allows for quick veriﬁ cation of test parameters. Each box contains 10 ampoules of 10mL solution with no dilution necessary.

COMPLIANCE TESTING

This DPD test system for Chlorine is accepted for reporting by most health departments because the tests are USEPA (DIN Standard 38 408 G4/G5, ISO 7393/2) accepted for testing requirements for Free Chlorine and Total Chlorine.

The compliance requirement is a photometer wavelength to measure between 490 and 530nm. The Pool eXact® EZ smart photometer uses a 525nm wavelength and 11 mm path-length. The eXact® Strip Micro CL (DPD-1) use the same reagents and proportions, and the resulting solution pH is maintained between

6.2 and 6.5 as speciﬁ ed by AWWA method 4500-Cl G/ClO2-D. The USEPA does not “approve” commercial DPD delivery systems. The eXact® Strip Micro CL (DPD-1) for Free Chlorine, and the eXact® Strip Micro CL (DPD-3) for Combined Chlorine, and the eXact® Strip Micro CL (DPD-4) for Total Chlorine meet your reportable testing requirements because the eXact® Strip Micro strips deliver the same chemicals in identical proportions. Consult with your local health department for ofﬁ cial regulations.
