Dear Customer,

with the necessary information for the correct use of the instrument. Please
read it carefully before using the meter. If you need additional technical
information, do not hesitate to e-mail us at [email protected].
Functional description:
Light High:
There is too much light to perform
a measurement. Please check the preparation of
the zero cuvette.
Light Low:
There is not enough light to perform
a measurement. Please check the preparation of
the zero cuvette.
No Light:
The instrument cannot adjust the
light level. Please check that the sample does
not contain any debris.
Inverted cuvettes:
The sample and the zero
cuvette are inverted.
Zero:
A zero reading was not taken. Follow the
instructions of the measurement procedure for
zeroing the meter.
Under range:
A blinking
“0.0”
indicates that
the sample absorbs less light than the zero
reference. Check the procedure and make sure
you use the same cuvette for reference (zero)
and measurement.
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 less
than expected.
Standard High:
The standard reading is higher
than expected.
Errors and warnings:
Measurement procedure:
1•
Turn the meter on by pressing
ON/OFF
.
2•
When the beeper sounds briefly and the LCD
displays dashes, the meter is ready. The
blinking
“ZERO”
indicates that the instrument
needs to be zeroed first.
3•
Add to the cuvette 10 mL of sample and
replace the cap.
4•
Place the cuvette into the cuvette holder and
ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned
securely into the groove.
5•
Press
ZERO/CFM
and the lamp, cuvette and
detector icons 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. Remove the cuvette.
7•
Add the content of one packet of
HI 93728-0
reagent.
8•
Replace the cap and immediately shake
vigorously for exactly 10 seconds by moving
the cuvette up and down. Continue to mix
by inverting the cuvette gently and slowly for
50 seconds, while taking care not to induce
air bubbles. A deposit could remain but it
dose not affect the measurement. Time and
way of shaking could sensitively affect the
measurement.
9•
Replace the cuvette into the holder and
ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned
securely into the groove.
10•
Press and hold
READ/ /TIMER
for three
seconds and the display will show the
countdown prior to measurement or alternatively
wait for 4 minutes and 30 seconds and press
READ/ /TIMER
. An audible “beep”
indicates the end of countdown period. In all
cases the lamp, cuvette and detector icons
will appear on the display, depending on
the measurement phase.
