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
more light than the zero reference. Check the procedure and make
sure that the sample and zero cuvette are not inverted.
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

•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.
•Using supplied syringe add 2 mL of HI 729S
SPADNS reagent to both cuvettes.
•Fill the first cuvette to the line with 8 mL of
deionized water and the second cuvette to
the line with 8 mL of sample. Replace the
cap and invert several times to mix.
•Place the first cuvette (deionized water) into
the meter and close the cap.
•Press and hold the button until the timer is
displayed on the LCD (the display will show
the countdown prior to the measurement)
or, alternatively, wait for 2 minutes and
press the button.
•When the display shows “Add”, “C.2” with
“Press” blinking the meter is zeroed.
•Remove the cuvette.
•Insert the second cuvette (sample) into the
instrument and press the button.
•The instrument directly displays the
concentration of fluoride in ppm. The meter
automatically turns off after 2 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.
