DearCustomer,
Thank you for choosing a Hanna product. This manual will
provide you with the necessary information for the correct
operation of the meter. Please read it carefully before using
the meter. If you need additional technical information, do
not hesitate to e-mail us at [email protected].
This instrument is in compliance with directives.
Remove the instrument from the packing material and
examine it carefully to make sure that no damage has
occurred during shipment. If there is any damage, notify
your Dealer.
Each Ion Specific Meter is supplied complete with
• 9V Battery
• Two Sample Cuvets and Caps
• One Transport Cap
Note: Conserve all packing material until the instrument
has been observed to function correctly. Any defective
item must be returned in its original packing.
The HI 93701 portable microprocessor meter measures the
free chlorine (Cl2) content in water and wastewater in the
0.00 to 2.50 mg/L (ppm) range.
Themeter usesan exclusivepositive-locking systemtoensure
that the cuvet is in the same place every time it is placed
into the measurement cell.
The reagents are in liquid or powder form and are supplied
in bottles or in packets. The amount of reagent is precisely
dosed to ensure maximum repeatability.
Display codes aid the user in routine operations.
The meters have an auto-shut off feature that will turn the
instrument off after 10 minutes of non-use.

This indicates that the meter is in a
ready state and zeroing can be per-
formed.
Sampling in Progress. This prompt ap-
pears each time the meter is performing
a measurement.
This indicates that the meter is in a
zeroed state and measurement can be
performed.
A zero reading was not taken. Insert a
sample before adding reagent and press
ZERO.
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 cuvet
for reference (zero) and measurement.
Over range. A flashing value higher than
themaximum readableconcentration (see
specifications) indicates that the sample
absorbs too much light, meaning that
the concentration is too high. Dilute the
sample.
Light over range. The cuvet is not in-
serted correctly and an excess ambient
light is reaching the detector. If the cover
is properly installed, then contact your
dealer or the nearest Hanna Customer
Service Center.
Light under range. The zero sample is
too dark for proper zeroing. If this is not
the case, contact your dealer or the
nearest Hanna Customer Service Center.
The "V" indicates that the battery volt-
age is getting low and the battery needs
to be replaced.
This indicates that the battery is dead
and must be replaced.
Note: once this indication is displayed,
the meter will lockup. Change the bat-
tery to restart.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
• Turn the meter on by pressing
ON/OFF.
• WhentheLCDdisplays “- - -”, it
is ready.
• Fill the cuvet with 10 mL of
unreacted sample, up to the
mark, and replace the cap.
• Place the cuvet into the holder
and ensure that the notch on
thecap ispositioned securelyinto
the groove.
• Press ZERO and “SIP” will appear on the display.
• Wait for a few seconds and the
display will show “-0.0-”. Now
the meter is zeroed and ready for
measurement.
• Remove the cuvet.
Powder reagent procedure
• Add the content of one packet of
HI 93701 DPD reagent. Replace
the cap and shake gently for 20
seconds (or 2 minutes in case of
seawater analysis).
• Replacethe cuvet intothe holder
and ensure that the notch on
the cap is positioned securely
into the groove.
• Wait for 1 minute and press READ DIRECT. The display
will show “SIP” during measurements.

INTERFERENCES
Interference may be caused by:
Bromine Iodine
Chlorinedioxide Ozone
Hydrogen peroxide
Oxidized Chromium (Cr6+) and Manganese (Mn4+, Mn7+).
Alkalinity above 250 mg/L or acidity above 150 mg/L will
not reliably develop the full amount of color or it may
rapidly fade. To resolve this, neutralize the sample with
diluted HCl or NaOH.
In case of water with hardness greater than 500 mg/L
CaCO3, shake the sample for approximately 1 minute after
adding the powder reagent.
The instruction listed below should be carefully followed
during testing to ensure best accuracy.
• Do not touch the cuvet walls with hands.
• In order to maintain the same conditions during the
zeroing and the measuring phases, it is necessary to
close the cuvet to prevent any contamination.
• Do not let the test sample stand too long after reagent
is added or accuracy will be lost.
• Whenever the cuvet is placed into the measurement cell,
it must be completely free of fingerprints, oil or dirt.
Wipe it thoroughly with HI 731318 or a lint-free cloth
prior to insertion.
• It is important that the sample does not contain any
debris. This would corrupt the readings.
• It is possible to take multiple readings in a row, but it
is recommended that a zero reading be taken for each
sample and that the same cuvet is used for zeroing and
measurement.
• It is important to discard the sample immediately after
the reading is taken because the glass might become
permanently stained.
• Shaking the cuvet can generate bubbles in the sample,
causing higher readings. To obtain accurate measure-
ments, remove such bubbles by swirling or by gently
tapping the vial.
• All the reaction times reported in this manual are
referred to 20°C (68°F). As a general rule of thumb,
they should be doubled at 10°C (50°F) and halved at
30°C(86°F).
Recommendationsfor Users
Before using these products, make sure that they are entirely suitable for
the environment in which they are used.
Operation of these instruments in residential area could cause unaccept-
able interferences to radio and TV equipments, requiring the operator to
take all necessary steps to correct interferences.
Any variation introduced by the user to the supplied equipment may
degrade the instruments' EMC performance.
To avoid damages or burns, do not perform any measurement in micro-
wave ovens.
