Getting started

1.1 Package contents

The standard contents of the Spectroquant® Multy Colorimeter

package comprise the following items:

1 colorimeter in a plastic carrying case

1 beaker (plastic) 100 ml (a)

1 set of rechargeable batteries (7 nickel-cadmium batteries; type AA) (b)

1 adapter for 16-mm ø round cells (c)

3 round cells with lids, ø 16 mm (d)

1 screwdriver

(e)

1 cable for connection with a PC or printer (f)

1 mains adapter, 100 - 240 V, 50 - 60 Hz

with 4 wall-socket adapters (EU, UK, USA, AUS) (g)

2 protective caps for connection terminals on the back (h)

1 lid for adapter (i)

1 lithium battery (CR 2032; 3V)

3 round cells with lids, ø 24 mm (k)

1 operating-instructions

manual

1 certificate of compliance

1.2 Inserting the rechargeable

batteries/lithium powerpack

Before operating the system for the first time, the rechargeable

batteries and the lithium powerpack included in the package

must be installed.

The batteries enclosed in the package are not charged.

ABattery pack: 7 nickel-cadmium batteries (type AA, 750 mAh)

BBattery: lithium battery (type CR 2032, 3V)

CFuse: 1 A, delayed-action, 20 mm

1. Ensure that the Spectroquant® Multy Colorimeter is switched off.

2. Remove, where applicable, the cell from the measurement

compartment.

3. Place the unit on its front on a clean, flat surface.

4. Remove the two screws (E) on the battery-compartment cover

(F) on the bottom of the unit.

5. Remove the batteries cover (F).

6. Remove any old batteries (A) and/or the lithium powerpack (B).

7. Insert 7 new rechargeable batteries and/or the lithium

powerpack

Make sure that the batteries are inserted correctly!

8. Attach the battery-compartment cover.

9. Replace the screws and tighten with moderate pressure.

1.2.1 Lithium powerpack –

Important information

The lithium powerpack (B) serves to save all important data

(saved measurement results, settings) for approx. ½ year when

the unit is not being supplied with power by the battery pack

or the mains supply.

As long as the colorimeter is being supplied with mains or

battery power, it does not draw any power from the lithium

powerpack. Since lithium powerpacks have a very long life,

it will in all probability not be necessary to exchange the

one supplied. All the same, to ensure proper functioning it is

recommended to replace the lithium powerpack every five years.

Note

When neither the mains adapter nor the battery pack are

supplying power, removal of the lithium powerpack will result

in a complete loss of data (saved measurement results and

settings). For this reason we strongly recommend that the unit

is connected to the mains power supply while replacing the

lithium powerpack.

1.2.2 Charging the battery pack

The rechargeable batteries (A) remain in place in the photo-

meter for recharging. Once the mains power supply is established,

the batteries start to be charged.

Charge the rechargeable batteries in the instrument for 5 days

(working with power from mains is possible). Now use the

instrument without mains until the first battery warning comes

up. Charge again, 4 days this time. Repeat usage to battery

warning and charging four times.

Approximately 10 charging/discharging cycles are required until

the batteries reach their full capacity.

The unit can be operated with mains power supply with or

without the batteries in place. For this you must attach the

country-specific wall-socket adapter to the mains adapter.

1.2.3 Using non-rechargeable batteries

In principle it is also possible to operate the unit using conven-

tional batteries – in this case, however, they must never be

used in combination with the mains adapter. The charging

process would start automatically as soon as the colorimeter is

connected to the mains power supply. Conventional batteries

are destroyed by the charging current, resulting in severe dam-

age to the unit. This also involves the risk of fire and explosion.

1.2.4 Using the protective caps

To protect the connection terminals on the unit from damage

(e.g. corrosion) due to environmental influences such as e.g.

dust or water splashes, the supplied protective caps should be

attached over the connection points (D) when these are not

being used.

1.4 Starting the colorimeter

the first time

Switch on the colorimeter by pressing the [On/Off] button.

The unit runs an electronic self-check test.

The display then shows:

Pressing the [Enter] key takes the colorimeter to method

selection.

Any data already saved in the unit must be deleted (mode 34,

see chapter 1.7, "Delete data"), the user-method system must

be initialized (mode 69, see section 5.6.5, "Initializing the

user-method system (concentration and polynomials)"), and

the date and time should be reset. (See below for details.)

The Spectroquant® Multy is supplied with English preset as the

standard language setting. Before making the first measurement

you should therefore reset the unit to the language of your

choice. To do this go from the method list and change to the

mode menu by pressing the [Mode] key.

The display shows:

After a short time the selection list appears:
