4.1 General Measurement Procedure
The DR300 uses a photometric method for chlorine analysis. Always ensure sample cells are clean and free of scratches or fingerprints. Use Hach-approved reagents for accurate results.
4.2 Measuring Free Chlorine
- Fill a clean sample cell with 10 mL of the water sample. This is your blank.
- Place the blank into the cell holder and close the lid.
- Press the zero button (often marked with a square or 'ZERO') to zero the instrument. The display will show "0.00".
- Remove the blank. Add the appropriate Hach DPD Free Chlorine reagent to a second 10 mL sample cell containing the water sampلي. گھمڻ ڦرڻ.
- Wait for the specified reaction time (refer to reagent instructions, typically 1 minute).
- Place the reacted sample into the cell holder and close the lid.
- Press the read button (often marked with a checkmark or 'READ'). The instrument will display the Free Chlorine concentration in mg/L.
4.3 Measuring Total Chlorine
- Follow steps 1-3 from the Free Chlorine measurement to zero the instrument.
- Remove the blank. Add the appropriate Hach DPD Total Chlorine reagent to a second 10 mL sample cell containing the water sampلي. گھمڻ ڦرڻ.
- Wait for the specified reaction time (refer to reagent instructions, typically 3 minutes).
- Place the reacted sample into the cell holder and close the lid.
