HI 753
Functional description:
Errors and warnings:
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.
Inverted Cuvettes: The sample and the zero cuvette are inverted.
Under Range: A blinking “0.0” indicates that the sample absorbs
more 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
the reading is over range. Dilute the sample and re-run the test.
Battery Low: The battery must be replaced soon.
Dead Battery: This indicates that the battery is dead and must be
replaced. Once this indication is displayed, normal operation of the
instrument will be interrupted. Change the battery and restart the
meter.

•Turn the meter on by pressing the button. All
segments will be displayed. When the display
shows “Add”, “C.1” with “Press” blinking, the
meter is ready.
•Fill cuvette one with 10 mL of distilled water.
This will be your zero.
•Fill cuvette two with 10 mL of unreacted sample.
Note: For samples with low chloride concentration,
it is recomended to rinse the cuvette several
times with unreacted sample before filling it
with 10 mL.
Note: For improved accuracy use a volumetric
pipette to deliver exactly 10 mL of distilled
water and sample to the cuvettes.
•Using the 1 mL syringe, add 0.5 mL of HI 753A-0
Displacing Reagent to each cuvette.
•Replace the cap and invert the cuvette for
approximately 30 seconds.
•Unscrew the cap and use the second 1 mL syringe
add 0.5 mL of HI 753B-0 Complexing Reagent
to each cuvette.
•Replace the cap and invert the cuvette for
approximately 30 seconds.
•Place the first cuvette (disttiled water) into the
meter and close the meter’s cap.
•Press and hold the button until the timer is
displayed on the LCD. Alternatively wait for two
minutes and then press the button. When the
display shows “Add”, “C.2” with “Press” blinking
the meter is zeroed.
•Remove the cuvette.
•Insert the other cuvette with the reacted sample
into the instrument and close the meter’s cap.
•Press the button. The instrument directly displays
the concentration of chlorine in ppm (mg/L). The
meter automatically turns off after 10 minutes.
•It is important that the sample does not contain any debris.
•Whenever the cuvette is placed into the measurement cell, it must be dry
outside, and completely free of fingerprints, oil and dirt. Wipe it thoroughly with
HI 731318 or a lint-free cloth prior to insertion.
•Shaking the cuvette can generate bubbles, causing higher readings. To obtain
accurate measurements, remove bubbles by swirling or by gently tapping the
cuvette.
•Do not let the reacted sample stand for too long after reagent is added, as
accuracy will be affected.
•After the reading it is important to immediately discard the sample, otherwise
the glass might become permanently stained.
