CYANURIC ACID MEASUREMENT

• Fill the cuvette with 10 mL of unreacted

sample, up to the mark, and replace the
cap.

• Place the cuvette into the cuvette holder

and ensure that the notch on the cap is
positioned securely into the groove.

• Press 

ZERO/CFM

 and the lamp, cuvette

and detector icons will appear on the
display, depending on the measurement
phase.

• After a few seconds, the display will

show 

“-0.0-”

. The meter is now zeroed

and ready for measurement.

• Fill a beaker up to the 25 mL mark with

the sample, add the content of one packet
of 

HI 93722-0 

reagent and swirl gently

to mix. This is the reacted sample.

• Fill a second cuvette with 10 mL of the

reacted sample, up to the mark, and
replace the cap.

• Place the second cuvette into the cuvette

holder and ensure that the notch on the
cap is positioned securely into the groove.

• Press and hold 

READ/ /TIMER

 

for three

seconds.

 The display will show the

countdown prior to measurement. An
audible “beep” indicates the end of the
countdown period.
