Functional description:

Light High:

 There is too much light to perform a

measurement. Please check the preparation of the
zero cuvet.

Light Low:

 There is not enough light to perform a

measurement. Please check the preparation of the
zero cuvet.

No Light:

The instrument cannot adjust the light

level. Please check that the samples does not contain
any debris.

Inverted cuvets:

 The sample and the zero cuvet

are inverted.

Zero:

 A zero reading was not taken. Follow the

instructions of the measurement procedure for zero-
ing the meter.

Under range:

 A blinking 

“0”

 indicates that the

silica content in the sample is less than 0 mg/L.

Over Range:

 A flashing value of the maximum

concentration indicates an over range condition. The
concentration of the sample is beyond the
programmed range: dilute the sample and re-run
the test.

Standard Low:

 The standard reading is out of

range.

Standard High:

 The standard reading is out of

range.

Measurement procedure:

1•

Turn the meter on by pressing

ON/OFF

.

2•

When the beeper sounds and the LCD
displays dashes, the meter is ready.
The blinking 

“ZERO”

 indicates that

the instrument needs to be zeroed first.

3•

Fill the cuvet with 10 mL of unreacted

sample, up to the mark, and replace the

cap.

4•

Place the cuvet into the cuvet holder

and ensure that the notch on the cap

is positioned securely into the groove.

5•

Press 

ZERO/CFM

 and the instrument

status indicator will appear on the

display, depending on the measurement

phase.

6•

After a few seconds the display will

show 

“-0.0-”

. The meter is now

zeroed and ready for measurement.

7•

Remove the cuvet.

8•

Add the content of one packet of
HI 96770A-0 Silica HR reagent A
and shake until complete dissolution.

9•
