The HI 95771 is an auto diagnostic portable microprocessor meter that benefits from Hanna’s
years of experience as a manufacturer of analytical instruments. It has the advanced optical
system based on a special tungsten lamp and a narrow band interference filter that allows most
accurate and repeatable readings. All instruments are factory calibrated and the electronic and
optical design minimizes the need of frequent calibration.
With the powerful CAL CHECK™ validation function you are able to validate good performance of
your instrument at any time. The validation procedure is extremely user friendly. Just use the
exclusive Hanna ready-made, Nist traceable standards to verify the performance of the instrument
and recalibrate if necessary.
All instruments are splash proof and the lamp and filter units are protected from dust or dirt by
a transparent cup. This makes the instruments fulfill field applications. Display codes aid the
user in routine operation. The meter has an auto-shut off feature that will turn off the instrument
after 10 minutes of non use or after 1 hour if left in the calibration mode.
The meter uses an exclusive positive-locking system to ensure that the cuvet is in the same
position every time it is placed into the measurement cell. It is designed to fit a cuvet with a
larger neck making it easier to add both sample and reagents. The cuvet is made from special
optical glass to obtain best results.
The HI 95771 is a dual range meter that can measure the chlorine (Cl2) content in water
samples in the 0 to 5.00 mg/L (ppm) range and in the 0 to 500 mg/L (ppm) range. The
methods are an adaptation of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and
Wastewater, 20th edition, 4500-Cl.
The reagents are in powder form and are supplied in packets. The amount of reagent is precisely
dosed to ensure the maximum repeatability.

• Press READ/TIMER and “SIP” will blink during
measurement.
• The instrument will show for three seconds the
CAL CHECK™ standard value, i.e. 100 for “771”
chlorine ULTRA HIGH RANGE or 1.00 for “701”

Then the date of last calibration (e.g.:
“01.08”) appears on the display, or “01.01”
if the factory calibration was selected. In both
cases the number of the month is blinking,
ready for date input.
Note: if the display shows “ERR” the

and B, are free from fingerprints or dirt and that
they are inserted correctly.
DATE INPUT
• Keep READ/TIMER pressed to scroll to the desired
month number (01-12).
• When the correct month has been set, press
ZERO/SET to confirm. Now the display will
show the day number blinking. Keep READ/
TIMER pressed to scroll to the desired day
number (01-31).
Note: it is possible to change from day to
month and vice versa by pressing ZERO/SET.
• When both the day and month have been
selected, hold CAL CHECK for three seconds to
store date and calibration values. The instrument
will show for one second “Stor”, to confirm
that the new calibration data has been
accepted.
• The instrument will return automatically to
the measurement mode by displaying "771"

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Precision is how closely repeated
measurements agree with each other. Precision
is usually expressed as standard deviation (SD).
Accuracy is defined as the nearness of a test
result to the true value.
Although good precision suggests good
accuracy, precise results can be inaccurate.
The figure explains these definitions.
In a laboratory using a standard solution of
100 mg/L chlorine and a representative lot of
reagent, an operator obtained with a single
instrument a standard deviation of 2 mg/L.
PRECISION AND ACCURACY
Absorption of Light is a typical phenomenon of interaction between electromagnetic radiation and
matter. When a light beam crosses a substance, some of the radiation may be absorbed by
atoms, molecules or crystal lattices.
If pure absorption occurs, the fraction of light absorbed depends both on the optical path length
through the matter and on the physical-chemical characteristics of the substance according to the
Lambert-Beer Law:
-log I/Io= ελc d
or
A = ελc d
Where:
-log I/Io= Absorbance (A)
Io= intensity of incident light beam
I= intensity of light beam after absorption
ελ= molar extinction coefficient at wavelength λ
c = molar concentration of the substance
d = optical path through the substance
Therefore, the concentration "c" can be calculated from the absorbance of the substance as the
other factors are known.
19
Note:It is possible to interrupt calibration procedure at any time by pressing ON/OFF.
Warning: do not validate or calibrate the instrument with standard solutions other than the Hanna
CAL CHECK™ Standards, otherwise erroneous results will be obtained. For accurate Validation and
Calibration results, please perform test at room temperature: 18 to 25°C (64.5 to 77.0°F).
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
• Select the parameter code “771” for
chlorine ULTRA HIGH RANGE or “701”
for chlorine LOW RANGE by holding
ZERO/SET (see page 13).
• Enter the calibrationmodeby holding CAL
CHECK for three seconds.
• The date of the last calibration appears
(e.g.: month “01”, day “08”). “F.CAL”
means that the factory calibration is
selected.
Note: at this point it is possible to
reset the instrument to restore FACTORY
CALIBRATION, see instructions page 21.
• Place the CAL CHECK™ Standard Cuvet A
into the holder and ensure that the
notch on the cap is positioned securely
into the groove.
• Press ZERO/SET and “SIP” will blink on
the display.
• After a few seconds the display will
show “-0.0-”. The meter is now zeroed
and ready for calibration.
• Remove the cuvet.
• Place the CAL CHECK™ Standard HI
95771-11 Cuvet Binto the holder and
ensure that the notch on the cap is
positioned securely into the groove.

Photometric chemical analysis is based on the possibility to develop an absorbing compound from a
specific chemical reaction between sample and reagents. Given that the absorption of a compound
strictly depends on the wavelength of the incident light beam, a narrow spectral bandwidth should be
selected as well as a proper central wavelength to optimize measurements.
The optical system of Hanna's HI 95 series colorimeters is based on special subminiature tungsten
lamps and narrow-band interference filters to guarantee both high performance and reliable results.
Block diagram (optical layout)
A microprocessor controlled special tungsten lamp emits radiation which is first optically
conditioned and beamed to the sample contained in the cuvet. The optical path is fixed by the
diameter of the cuvet. Then the light is spectrally filtered to a narrow spectral bandwidth, to
obtain a light beam of intensity Ioor I.
The photoelectric cell collects the radiation Ithat is not absorbed by the sample and converts
it into an electric current, producing a potential in the mV range.
The microprocessor uses this potential to convert the incoming value into the desired measuring
unit and to display it on the LCD.
The measurement process is carried out in two phases: first the meter is zeroed and then the
actual measurement is performed.
The cuvet has a very important role because it is an optical element and thus requires particular
attention. It is important that both the measurement and the calibration (zeroing) cuvets are
optically identical to provide the same measurement conditions. Whenever possible use the same
cuvet for both. It is necessary that the surface of the cuvet is clean and not scratched. This to
avoid measurement interference due to unwanted reflection and absorption of light. It is
recommended not to touch the cuvet walls with hands.
Furthermore, 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.

• Wait for a few seconds and the display will show the validation standard value.
The reading should be within specifications as reported on the CAL CHECK™ Standard Certificate.
If the value is found out of specifications, please check that the cuvets are free of fingerprints, oil or
dirt and repeat validation. If results are still found out of specifications then recalibrate the
instrument.
• Place the CAL CHECK™ Standard Cuvet A
into the holder and ensure that the
notch on the cap is positioned securely
into the groove.
• Press ZERO/SET and “SIP” will blink on
the display.
• After a few seconds the display will
show “-0.0-”. The meter is now zeroed
and ready for validation.
• Remove the cuvet and place the
CAL CHECK™ Standard HI 95771-11
Cuvet Binto the holder. Ensure that the
notch on the cap is positioned securely
into the groove.
• Press CAL CHECK and “SIP” will blink
during measurement.
• Select the parameter code “771” for chlorine
ULTRA HIGH RANGE or “701” for chlorine
LOW RANGE by holding ZERO/SET (see page 13).
