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 “0.00” 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.
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, the meter will lock up.

• It is important that the sample does not contain any debris.
• Whenever the cuvette is placed into the measurement cell, it must by dry
outside, and completely free of fingerprints, oil or dirt. Wipe it throughly 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 such bubbles by swirling or by gently tapping
the cuvette.
• Do not let the reacted sample stand for too long after reagent is added, or
accuracy will be lost.
• After the reading it is important to immediately discard the sample, otherwise
the glass might become permanently stained.
