• Remove the cuvette.
• Add 4 drops of HI 93700A-0 First reagent (6 drops for seawater
analysis). Replace the cap and mix the solution.
• Add 4 drops of HI 93700B-0 Second reagent (10 drops for seawater
analysis). Replace the cap and mix the solution.
• Reinsert the cuvette into the instrument.
• Press TIMER and the display will show the countdown prior to the
measurement or, alternatively, wait for 3 minutes and 30 seconds and
press READ. When the timer ends the meter will perform the reading.
The instrument displays the results in mg/L of ammonia nitrogen
(NH
