• Reinsert the cuvette into the instrument.
• Press TIMER and the display will show the countdown prior to the
measurement or, alternatively, wait for 6 minutes and press
READ. When the timer ends the meter will perform the reading.
The instrument displays concentration in µg/L of chromium VI.
• Press the or to access the second level of functions.
• Press the Chem Frm functional key to convert the result in µg/L of Chromate (CrO

INTERFERENCES
Interference may be caused by:
Vanadium above 1 ppm. However, waiting 10 minutes before reading, the interference is removed.
Iron above 1 ppm
Mercurous and mercuric ions cause slight inhibition of the reaction.
Chromium VI LR
