DESCRIPTION
4. DESCRIPTION
4.1.GENERAL DESCRIPTION
HI83300 multiparameter photometer is compact and versatile meter with two measurement
modes: Absorbance and pH/ mV. Absorbance mode include CAL Check feature and 65 different
methods that cover a wide variety of applications, making it ideal for both benchtop and portable
operation.
• Digital electrode input for pH measurements
• Certified CAL Check cuvettes to confirm meter functionality
• Dual purpose micro‑USB flash drive
• Li‑polymer rechargeable battery
• Auto‑off

4.2.PRECISION AND ACCURACY
Precision is how closely repeated measurements
are to one another. Precision is usually expressed
as standard deviation (SD).
Accuracy is defined as the closeness of a test
result to the true value.
Although good precision suggests good accuracy,
precise results can be inaccurate. The figure
explains these definitions.
For each method, the accuracy is expressed in the
related measurement section.

4.4. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
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= elc d
or
A = elc d

11
DESCRIPTION
Instrument Block Diagram
The internal reference system (reference detector) of the HI83300 photometer compensates for any
drifts due to power fluctuations or ambient temperature changes, providing a stable source of light
for your blank (zero) measurement and sample measurement.
LED light sources offer superior performance compared to tungsten lamps. LEDs have a much higher
luminous efficiency, providing more light while using less power. They also produce little heat,
which could otherwise affect electronic stability. LEDs are available in a wide array of wavelengths,
whereas tungsten lamps have poor blue/violet light output.
Improved optical filters ensure greater wavelength accuracy and allow a brighter, stronger signal to
be received. The end result is higher measurement stability and less wavelength error.
A focusing lens collects all of the light that exits the cuvette, eliminating errors from cuvette
imperfections and scratches, eliminating the need to index the cuvette.
4.5. OPTICAL SYSTEM
Io= intensity of incident light beam
I = intensity of light beam after absorption
el = molar extinction coefficient at wavelength l
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 constant.
Photometric chemical analysis is based on specific chemical reactions between a sample and
reagent to produce a light‑absorbing compound.

5. GENERAL OPERATIONS
5.1. POWER CONNECTION AND BATTERY MANAGEMENT
The meter can be powered from an AC/DC adapter (included) or from the built‑in rechargeable battery.
The meter will perform an auto‑diagnostic test when it is first powered on. During this test, the
HANNA®logo will appear on the LCD. After 5 seconds, if the test was successful, the last method
used will appear on the display. The battery icon on the LCD will indicate the battery status:
‑ battery is charging from external adapter ‑ battery fully charged (meter connected to AC/DC adapter)
‑ battery capacity (no external adapter) ‑ battery near 0% (no external adapter)
‑ battery at 0% (no external adapter)
To conserve battery, the meter will turn off automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity (30 minutes
before a READ measurement). If a photometer measurement is on the screen, an auto‑log is
created before shutdown.
5.2. GENERAL SETUP
Press SETUP key to enter in Setup menu, highlight desired option using and press Select.

5.3. USING HANNA DIGITAL ELECTRODES
The HI83300 can be used to perform direct pH measurements by connecting a HANNA®digital
pH electrode with a 3.5 mm TRRS connector. To begin taking probe measurements, connect the
electrode to the 3.5 mm port marked with “EXT PROBE” located at the rear of the meter. If the
meter is in “Photometer Mode”, set the meter to “Probe Mode” by pressing the MODE key.
5.4. MODE SELECTION
The HI83300 has two operational modes: Photometer Mode and Probe Mode.
Photometer Mode enables on‑demand measurement of a cuvette using the integrated optical
system. Photometric‑related functions, such as Method selection, Zero, Read, and Timers are
available in this mode.
Probe Mode enables continuous measurement using a Hanna Digital Electrode connected to the
3.5 mm port. Probe‑related functions, such as calibration and GLP, are available in this mode.
To switch between Photometer Mode and Probe Mode, use the button.
Note: The active mode cannot be switched while in menus, such as Setup, Recall, Method, etc.

6.2. COLLECTING AND MEASURING SAMPLES AND REAGENTS
6.2.1. PROPER USE OF SYRINGE
(a) Push the plunger completely into the syringe and insert the tip
into the solution.
(b) Pull the plunger up until the lower edge of the seal is exactly on
the mark for the desired volume.
(c) Take out the syringe and clean the outside of the syringe tip,
be sure that no drops are hanging on the tip of the syringe.
Then, keeping the syringe in vertical position above the
cuvette, push the plunger down into the syringe, the desired
volume has been delivered into the cuvette.
6.2.2. PROPER USE OF DROPPER
(a) For reproducible results, tap the dropper on the table several times and wipe the outside of the
tip with a cloth.
(b) Always keep the dropper bottle in a vertical position while dosing the reagent.
6.2.3. PROPER USE OF POWDER PACKET
(a) Use scissors to open the powder packet
(b) Push the edges of the packet to form a spout
(c) Pour out the content of the packet.

20
6.3. CUVETTE PREPARATION
Proper mixing is very important for reproducibility of the measurements. The proper mixing
technique for each method is listed in the method procedure.
(a) Invert the cuvette a couple of times or for a specified time: hold the cuvette in the vertical
position. Turn the cuvette upside‑down and wait for all of the solution to flow to the cap end,
then return the cuvette to the upright vertical position and wait for all of the solution to flow to
the cuvette bottom. This is one inversion. The correct speed for this mixing technique is
10‑15 complete inversions in 30 seconds.
This mixing technique is indicated with “invert to mix” and the following icon:
(b) Shaking the cuvette, moving the cuvette up and down. The movement may be gentle or
vigorous. This mixing method is indicated with “shake gently” or “shake vigorously”, and one
of the following icons:
In order to avoid reagent leaking and to obtain more accurate measurements,
close the cuvette first with the supplied HDPE plastic stopper and then the
black cap.
Whenever the cuvette is placed into the measurement holder, it must be dry
outside and free of fingerprints, oil or dirt. Wipe it thoroughly with HI731318 or
a lint‑free cloth prior to insertion.
Shaking the cuvette can generate bubbles in the sample, causing higher
readings. To obtain accurate measurements, remove such bubbles by swirling or
by gently tapping the cuvette.
