Built In Timer

MI490 has a built in timer that ensures appropriate reaction time is used for the chemical reaction.  At the end of the timer, the meter will automatically take the reading. This feature ensures consistency across multiple users.

Cuvette Chamber

The MI490 has a built in indexing indent on the meter - The meter has an indent that allows for a lock and key fit with the cuvette cap.  This ensures that the cuvette is indexed consistently (same position) in order to maintain the same path length for accurate results.

Error Messaging

The MI490 has built in error messaging display alerts.  This helps the user ensure no mistakes are made in the testing process.  Messages include light high, light low, inverted sample procedure, overrange readings and zero cal error to ensure the user has the most accurate error free readings. 

Calibration

The MI490 has a simple to use zero point calibration.  Simply insert the Perioxide reagent vial with 1 mL of oil sample into the chamber after shaking, index the cuvette and press the zero button.  Your calibration is complete.
