Press the blank key.
The screen will show
that the instrument is
measuring the blank.
Blanking enables the instrument to set the correct zero value.
This ensures the final result will be accurate, even when testing
water that is cloudy or coloured.
The blank value is held in memory. However, blanking
should be performed again each time a new sample is
taken from the pool or spa.

Error Messages
An error message means the instrument has detected
something wrong when making an optical measurement.
A common cause is contamination in the optics. Cleaning the
optics (see Cleaning the Optics) is therefore recommended
when any error message occurs.
If error messages E1 to E6 appear during testing, try cleaning
the optics (see Cleaning the Optics on the following page) or
contact your local Palintest Branch or Distributor.
E7
External light is entering the test cell, or there is
contamination affecting the internal light path.
Clean the optics (see below), clean the test tube,
ensure light cap is fitted correctly and use
instrument away from bright light.
E8 Indicates a fault in an optical component. Instrument
requires a service and recalibration.
E9
Insufficient light received during blanking. Check that
the ‘blank’ is the correct tube. Remove any debris
obstructing light in the cell holder and clean the optics
(following page).
10 Cleaning the Optics
Contamination in the optical cell may effect the accuracy of
readings and can trigger error messages to be displayed.
Clean optical windows gently with a soft, non-abrasive cloth
dampened with water. Do not use solvents.
Instrument failure due to contamination is not covered by warranty.
Check Standards
Sets of Check Standards for Pooltest Instruments are
available from Palintest. These verify that the instrument
is correctly calibrated and performing correctly.
