VALIDATION PROCEDURE

Use the validation procedure to ensure that the instrument is properly calibrated.

Warning:

 Do not validate the instrument with any standard solutions other than the HANNA 

CAL

CHECK

TM

 Standards, otherwise erroneous results will be obtained. For accurate validation, please

perform test at room temperature: 18 to 25°C (64.5 to 77.0°F)

 

 Turn the meter on by pressing 

ON/OFF

.

• Press 

ZERO/CFM

 and the lamp, cuvet

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

• Place  the 

CAL CHECK

TM

 Standard

HI 95729-11

 Cuvet A into the cuvet

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

• When the beeper sounds briefly and the

LCD displays dashes, the meter is ready.

• After a few seconds, the display will show

“-0.0-”

. The meter is now zeroed and

ready for validation.

• Remove the cuvet.

• Place the

HI 95701-11

Cuvet B into the cuvet holder

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