eXact® Eco-Check Photometer has been designed to offer the user a more “Green” and cost-effective alternative to testing.
Instead of using a 10mL water sample, the eXact® Eco-Check Photometer uses a 4mL water sample, which uses up to
60% less chemical per test. The accuracy of the meter is maintained by designing the photo cell with a 20mm pathlength.

 About Your eXact® Eco-Check Instrument
In order to save power, the meter is designed to turn off after 3 minutes (timed
from the last button pressed).
Should the meter turn off in the middle of a test, the last stored zero in the meter
will remain valid when the meter is turned on again. Also, the test result is stored
in memory for easy retrieval.
The eXact® Eco-Check meter is controlled by three buttons:
1. ZERO/ON:KHQ¿UVWSUHVVHGWKLVEXWWRQWXUQVWKHPHWHURQ:KHQWKH
meter is on and this button is pressed, it zeroes the sample in the cell. Once the
meter is zeroed, this zero value applies to all parameters and is stored and
retained even when meter turns off. However, it is recommended that each new
water sample analyzed is zeroed before testing, to maximize sensitivity and
accuracy.
2. MENU: With each press, the MENU button advances through the tests in the
following sequence: AL1, NO2, NO3, NH4, TH5, CL6, bt7, PO8, CU9, CH0, P11.
Each test menu can store up to 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 2ndODWHVWUHVXOWHWFDQG¿QDOO\
-01, which is the oldest result retained. Only the last 20 readings are stored in
each menu. This meter is able to store 220 results in memory (20 in each menu).
3. READ: When pressed once, this button starts the timer for the parameter
being tested and proceeds for each test procedure. When pressed a second time
the meter exits the timer and immediately prepares to colorimetrically measure the
sample (not accurate, for accurate results you need to wait the entire reaction
time) and simultaneously stores the measurement in memory.
If the parameter being measured is below or above the detection range, the display
will show “LO” (Under Range) or “HI” (Over Range), respectively. This feature is

with DPD-3 will, in the presence of Combined Chlorine or Chloramines, convert into Iodine).

PRESS READ AGAIN

9 Press READ again and the meter will count down and display the next reading. If this
reading matches the previous result, then record this as the Total Chlorine result. This value
is automatically stored in CL6 Menu. After testing is completed, rinse cell immediately. Record
the Total Chlorine as the highest value the meter displayed.
*NOTE: Standard Method (4500-Cl G, procedure for total chlorine) requires the reading to
be made after 2 minutes from the time the KI is added. For compliance testing, you must
time the two minutes and then make your measurement. NOTE: From testing in our lab,
water samples above 70°F (20°C), generally, reach a stabilized reading quicker then 2 minutes.
CL6: Chlorine and Iodine react with N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine as it is released from the strip to
form a magenta color, directly proportional to the Chlorine concentration. (Ozone, Bromine, and
Permanganate also form the color)

 eXact® Eco-Check Tips For Best Accuracy
1. Become familiar with the meter and the different tests by reading the instructions
carefully.
2. The Free Chlorine and Total Chlorine results are compliant for meeting USEPA
(4500-Cl G); ISO 7393/2; and German DIN 38408 G4-2 requirements.
3. Observe the dip time (as required for the test) for accurate results.
4. 7HVWLPPHGLDWHO\DIWHU¿OOLQJWKHCELL with water sample.
5. Be sure the CELL LV¿OOHGWRFDSDFLW\P/
6. Rinse the CELL with clean water immediately after completing the test. (Some test
reagents will stain or coat the CELL wall if allowed to remain).
7. Just before testing, rinse the sample CELL with the sample water several times to get a
representative sample. (Use deionized or distilled water for rinsing if you have a limited
sample).
8. Store the meter and all test materials out of direct sunlight and away from chemical
storage areas.
9. Minimize exposure of meter and test reagents to heat above 90°F (32°C).
10. Dry the outside of the meter when testing is complete or before storage of the meter.
11. Each eXact® Strip Micro test strip is valid for ONLY one test. Discard strip after single
use in regular trash that is inaccessible to children and pets.
12. Each bottle of eXact® Strip Micro contains the quantity of strips notated on the bottle.
<RXPD\¿QGRQHRUWZRVWULSVWKDWDUHQRWLFHDEO\VPDOOHURUODUJHULQZLGWKWKDQWKH
normal strips in the bottle. These should be discarded. Using these strips may give
unreliable results.
13. The eXact® Eco-Check meter is not compatible for use with DPD-1, DPD-3, and DPD-4
powder pillows, tablets, and liquids available from other manufacturers. Accurate
results can only be guaranteed by using genuine eXact® Strip Micro strips or reagents
(reorder information on page 19).
14. Our lab testing with the Micro 20 meter has shown that zeroing and measuring of the
sample normally does not require any cell cover for accurate results, except in sunlight.
To obtain optimal accuracy when testing with the meter outdoors (sunlight), use the
Mixing Cap/Cell Cover when zeroing and reading the sample.
15. Remove batteries when meter is not used for more than a month (Warranty
Requirement).

If there is a question about the quality of a ReagentStrip™, your test method, or the photometer
you are using, then it is recommended to test the SYSTEM (reagent, you, and photometer) by
using the appropriate READY SNAP™ solution.
Follow the procedure for the test you are running. If you get the acceptible result using the READY
