5.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION & INTENDED USE
The
HI97771
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
HI97771
meter measures free chlorine from 0.00 to 5.00 mg/L (ppm) and total
chlorine from 0 to 500 mg/L (ppm).
The method for free chlorine is an adaptation of US EPA Method 330.5, DPD Colori-
metric Method.
The method for total chlorine is an adaptation of Standard Methods for Examination of
Water and Wastewater, 20
th
Edition, 4500-Cl.
