Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing a Hanna Instruments product.
Please read this instruction manual carefully before using the meter.
This manual will provide you with the necessary information for correct use
of the instrument. If you need additional technical information, do not
hesitate to e-mail us at [email protected] or view our worldwide
contact list at www.hannainst.com.
Functional description:
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.
No Light: The instrument cannot adjust the
light level. Please check that the sample does
not contain any debris.
Inverted Cuvettes: The sample and the zero
cuvette are inverted.
Zero: A zero reading was not taken. Follow the
instructions of the measurement procedure for
zeroing the meter.
Under Range: A blinking “200” 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.
Standard Low: The standard reading is less
than expected.
Standard High: The standard reading is higher
than expected.
Errors and warnings:
Measurement procedure:
1• Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.
2• When the beeper sounds briefly and the LCD
displays dashes and “P1” (Low range), “P2”
(Medium range) or “P3” (High range), the
meter is ready. The code that appears on
the secondary display is the one of the
last selected range. If necessary, press
RANGE/GLP/ to change range. The
blinking “ZERO” indicates that the
instrument needs to be zeroed first.
3• Add 0.5 mL of unreacted sample to the
cuvette. Add 0.5 mL of HI 93735IND-0
indicator reagent. With the plastic dropper
fill the cuvette up to the 10 mL mark
adding HI 93735A-XR (X=L, M, H)
reagent appropriate to the selected range.
4• Add two drops of HI 93735B-0 buffer
reagent. Replace the cap and invert 5 times
to mix.
5• Place the cuvette into the cuvette holder
and ensure that the notch on the cap is
positioned securely into the groove.
6• Press ZERO/CFM and the lamp, cuvette
and detector icons will appear on the display,
depending on the measurement phase.
7• After a few seconds the display will show
“-0.0-”. The meter is now zeroed and ready
for measurement. Remove the cuvette.
8• Add the content of 1 packet of HI 93735C-0
fixing reagent. Replace the cap and shake
gently to mix 20 seconds.
9• Replace the cuvette into the holder and
ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned
securely into the groove.
10•Press READ/ /UNIT. In all cases the lamp,
cuvette and detector icons will appear on the
display, depending on the measurement phase.

Battery management
To save the battery, the instrument shuts down after 10 minutes of non-
use in measurement mode and after 1 hour of non-use in calibration
mode.
If a valid measurement was displayed before
auto-shut off, the value is displayed when the
instrument is switched on. The blinking “ZERO”
means that a new zero has to be performed.
One fresh battery lasts for arround 750 measurements, depending on the
light level.
The remaining battery capacity is evaluated at the instrument startup
and after each measurement.
The instrument displays a battery indicator with three levels as follows:
•3 lines for 100 % capacity
•2 lines for 66 % capacity
•1 line for 33 % capacity
•Battery icon blinking if the capacity is under 10 %.
If the battery is empty and accurate measurements can’t be taken any
more, the instrument shows “dEAd bAtt” and turns off.
To restart the instrument, the battery must be replaced with a fresh one.
To replace the instrument’s battery, follow the steps:
•Turn the instrument off by pressing ON/OFF.
•Turn the instrument upside down and remove the battery cover by
turning it counterclockwise.
•Extract the battery from its location and replace it with a fresh one.
•Insert back the battery cover and turn it clockwise to close.
8• Press CAL CHECK key and the lamp,
cuvette and detector icons together with
“CAL CHECK” will appear on the display,
depending on the measurement phase.
9• At the end of the measurement 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 cuvettes
are free of fingerprints, oil or dirt and repeat
validation. If results are still found out of
specifications then recalibrate the instrument.
CALIBRATION
Note:It is possible to interrupt the calibration
procedure at any time by pressing CAL
CHECK or ON/OFF keys.
1• Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.
2• When the beeper sounds briefly and the
LCD displays dashes, the meter is ready.
3• Press and hold CAL CHECK for three seconds
to enter calibration mode. The display will
show “CAL” during calibration procedure. The
blinking “ZERO” asks for instrument zeroing.
4• Place the CAL CHECK™ Standard
HI 96735-11 Cuvette A into the cuvette
holder and ensure that the notch on the cap
is positioned securely into the groove.
5•Press ZERO/CFM and the lamp, cuvette
and detector icons will appear on the display,
depending on the measurement phase.
6• After a few seconds the display will show
“-0.0-”. The meter is now zeroed and
ready for calibration. The blinking “READ”
asks for reading calibration standard.
7• Remove the cuvette.
8• Place the CAL CHECK™ Standard
HI 96735-11 Cuvette B into the holder
and ensure that the notch on the cap is
positioned securely into the groove.
9•Press READ/ /UNIT and the lamp, cuvette
and detector icons will appear on the display,
depending on the measurement phase.
10•The instrument will show for three seconds
the CAL CHECK™ standard value.
Note:If the display shows “STD HIGH”, the
standard value was too high. If the
display shows “STD LOW”, the standard
value was too low. Verify that both
CAL CHECK™ Standard HI 96735-11
Cuvettes, A and B are free from
fingerprints or dirt and that they
are inserted correctly.
11•At the end of measurement, the instrument
directly displays the hardness in the
last unit selected on the LCD. Press the
READ/ /UNIT key repeatedly to change
the reading unit: mg/L, °f, °D and °E
respectively. The conversion factors are as
follows:
1 mg/L = 0.1 °f = 0.0556 °D = 0.07 °E
INTERFERENCES:
Interference may be caused by excessive amounts
of heavy metals.
FACTORY CALIBRATION RESTORE
It is possible to delete the calibration and restore
factory calibration.
1• Press RANGE/GLP/ to enter GLP mode .
2• Press READ/ /UNIT to enter in the factory
calibration restore screen. The instrument
asks for confirmation of user calibration
delete.
3• Press ZERO/CFM to restore the factory
calibration or press RANGE/GLP/ again
to abort factory calibration restore.
4• The instrument briefly indicates “donE”
upon restoration of factory calibration prior
returning to measurement mode .
