POWER CONNECTION
Plug the 12VDC adapter (
HI 710005
- 110VDC, or
HI
710006
- 220VDC) into the DC socket. Plug the adapter
into the outlet.
Alternatively, remove the battery cover on the back of the
meter; attach two fresh 9V batteries and replace the cover.
Note:
Insure the main line is surge protected.
Note:
Always turn the meter off before unplugging it to
insure no data is lost.
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
•
Turn the meter on by pressing
ON/OFF.
•
The meter will first perform an
LCD self diagnostic test by
displaying a full set of figures.
• Then it will show a scrolling
"c221 Hanna Inst" message.
•
When the LCD displays “----”,
the meter is ready.
• To perform calibration, fill one
cuvet with about 4 mL of
Glycerol, up to 5 mm (0.2”)
below the rim. This is the
Glycerol Standard Reference.
• Place the Glycerol cuvet into
the holder. Then put the light
shield cap on.
Operational Guide
There is not enough light to perform a
measurement. Please check the preparation
of the Glycerol cuvet.
There is too much light to perform a
measurement. Please check the preparation
of the Glycerol cuvet.
b) on sample reading:
Calibration was not performed. Follow the
instruction described in the measurement
procedure for calibrating the meter.
Under range. A blinking "0" indicates that
the sample absorbs less light than the
Glycerol Reference. Check the procedure
and recalibrate the instrument.
1) A flashing value of “150” (maximum
measurable value) indicates an over range
condition. The color intensity of the sample
is beyond the programmed range.
2) A flashing value lower than the maximum
measurable value (e.g. 120) indicates a
low signal-to-noise ratio condition. In this
case accuracy of the result is not guaranteed.
Repeat the reading procedure.
Recommendations for Users
Before using these products, make sure that they are entirely suitable for your specific
application and for the environment in which they are used.
Operation of these instruments may cause unacceptable interferences to other electronic
equipments, this requiring the operator to take all necessary steps to correct interferences.
Any variation introduced by the user to the supplied equipment may degrade the
instruments' EMC performance.
To avoid damages or burns, do not put the instrument in microwave oven. For yours and
the instrument safety do not use or store the instrument in hazardous environments.
CE Declaration of Conformity
ISTC221R2 03/04
The instructions listed below should be carefully followed
during testing to ensure best accuracy.
• Use matched square cuvets, having 4 clear faces and a
10 mm path length.
• Whenever the cuvet is placed into the measurement cell,
it must be dry outside, and completely free of fingerprints,
oil or dirt. Wipe it thoroughly with
HI 731318
or a lint-
free cloth prior to insertion.
• It is important that the sample does not contain any
debris. This would corrupt the readings.
• Samples should be completely free of air bubbles. If
bubbles are present, tap the cuvet on the table to
remove them.
Tips for an Accurate Measurement
• Press CAL and “SIP” will
blink on the display.
• After a few seconds the
display will show “-0.0-”.
The meter is now calibrated
and ready for measurement.
• Remove the Glycerol cuvet.
• Add to a second clean cuvet
about 4 mL of honey, up
to 5 mm (0.2”) below the
rim. This is the sample.
• Place the sample cuvet into
the holder. Then put the
light shield cap on.
• Press READ and “SIP” will
blink during measurement.
• The instrument directly displays the honey color intensity
value expresses in mm Pfund, as compared to Analytical
grade Glycerol (fixed at zero Pfund).
INTERFERENCES
Interference may be caused by air bubbles or turbidity in
the sample. Scratched or dirty cuvets will also affect readings.
Always check clearness of cuvets prior to use.
