5.1.  GENERAL DESCRIPTION & INTENDED USE

The 

HI97717

 is an auto-diagnostic portable photometer that benefits from Hanna’s 

years of experience as a manufacturer of analytical instruments. It has an advanced 
optical system that uses a Light Emitting Diode (LED) and a narrow band interference 
filter that allows for accurate and repeatable readings. 
The optical system is sealed from outside dust, dirt and water. The meter uses an 
exclusive positive-locking system to ensure that the cuvettes are placed into the holder 
in the same position every time.
With the CAL Check™ functionality, users are able to validate the performance of the 
instrument at any time and apply a user calibration (if necessary). Hanna Instruments 
CAL Check cuvettes are made with NIST traceable standards.
The built-in tutorial mode guides users step-by-step through the measurement 
process. It includes all steps required for sample preparation, the required reagents 
and quantities.
The 

HI97717

 meter measures the phosphate content in water samples in the 0.0 

to 30.0 mg/L (ppm). The method is an adaptation of Standard Methods for the 
Examination of Water and Wastewater, 18th Edition, Amino Acid Method.

The 

HI97717

 photometer is a compact and versatile meter suitable for field or bench 

measurements, featuring a:
• Sophisticated optical system
• Meter validation using certified CAL Check cuvettes
• Tutorial mode guides the user step-by-step
• Auto logging
• Waterproof IP67, floating case
• GLP features
