INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the TRACER Total Chlorine
PockeTester. The TRACER is a revolutionary, first of its kind
measurement device that offers direct reading of Total Chlorine from

0.01 to 10.00 ppm. The TRACER is easy to use and maintain, and offers
high accuracy, automatic calibration, with fast response and simultaneous
Chlorine and Temperature displays and a 15-reading memory storage.
Careful use and maintenance will provide years of reliable service.

The TRACER testing procedure complies with the electrode method
described in EPA 40 CFR Part 136.3, Table 1B (1994) and Standard
Methods for the Examination of Wastewater, 18th Ed., 4500-Cl I, p 4-65,
which requires that potassium iodide and a buffer be added to the sample
before testing.
