Recommendations for Users
Warranty
To save the battery, the instrument shuts down after 7 minutes of non-use and 2 minutes
after reading.
One fresh battery lasts for a minimum of 5000 measurements. When the battery is dead the
instrument will display “bAd” then ”bAt” for 1 second and then turns off.
To restart the instrument, the battery must be replaced with a new one.
To replace the instrument’s battery:
• Turn the instrument off by holding the button until the meter shuts off.
• Turn the instrument upside down and remove the battery cover with a screwdriver.
• Remove the battery from its location and replace it with a new one, inserting the negative
end first.
• Insert the battery cover and replace the screw with a screwdriver.
Battery Management
• 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 HI731318 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, as accuracy will be affected.
• After the reading it is important to immediately discard the
sample, otherwise the glass might become permanently stained.

Light Source Light Emitting Diode @525 nm
Light Detector Silicon Photocell
Method
Adaptation of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and
Wastewater, 20th edition, Ascorbic Acid method. The reaction be-
tween phosphate and the reagent causes a blue tint in the sample.
Environment 0 to 50 °C (32 to 122 °F); RH max 95% non-condensing
Battery Type 1.5V AAA (1 pc.)

Dimensions 86.0 x 61.0 x 37.5 mm (3.4 x 2.4 x 1.5”)
Weight 52 g (1.84 oz.)
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
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 meter.

Operation Button
• 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.
• Fill the cuvette with 10 mL of unreacted
sample and replace the cap. Place the cuvette
into the meter and close the meter’s cap.
• Press the button. When the display shows
“Add”, “C.2” with “Press” blinking the
meter is zeroed.
• Remove the cuvette from the meter and unscrew
the cap. Add the content of one packet of
HI774-0 reagent. Replace the cap and shake
gently for 2 minutes until the powder is
completely dissolved. Place the cuvette back
into the meter.
• 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 3 minutes and press the
button.
• The instrument directly displays the
concentration of phosphate in ppm. The
meter automatically turns off after 2 minutes.
