PRINCIPLE OF OPERATIONPRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The color of every object we see is determined by a process of
absorption and emission of the electromagnetic radiation (light) of its
molecules.
Colorimetricanalysisisbasedontheprinciplethatspecific compounds
react with others and form a color, the intensity of which is
proportional to the concentration of the substance to be measured.
When a substance is exposed to a beam of light of intensity Io, a
portion of the radiation is absorbed by the substance's molecules and
a radiation of intensity I, lower than Io, is emitted.
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONGENERAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONGENERAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Hanna Instruments Ion Specific Meters are portable, microproces-
sor-based colorimeters that measure the ion content in water and
waste waters.
Themeters use an exclusive positive-lockingsystemto ensure that the
cuvet is in the same place every time it is placed into the measure-
mentcell.
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 meter off
after 10 minutes of non-use.

The quantity of radiation absorbed is given by the Lambert-Beer
Law: log Io/I= ελc d
Where log Io/I = Absorbance (A)
ελ= molar extinction coefficient of the substance at
wavelength λ
c = molar concentration of the substance
d = optical distance light travels through sample
Therefore, the concentration "c" can be calculated from the color
intensity of the substance determined by the emitted radiation I, as
the other factors are known.
BLOCKDIAGRAMOF A COLORIMETER
A monochromatic LED (Light Emitting Diode) emits radiation at a
single wavelength, supplying the system with the intensity Io.
Since a substance absorbs the color complimentary to the one it emits
(for example, a substance appears yellow because it absorbs blue
light), Hanna colorimeters use LEDs that emit the appropriate
wavelength to measure the sample.
The optical distance (d) is measured by the diameter of the cuvet
containing the sample.
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 done in two phases: setting the meter to
zero and the actual measurement.
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 measure-
ment conditions. Whenever possible use the same cuvet for both.
It is also necessary that the cuvet's surface is clean and not scratched,
in order to avoid measurement interference due to unwanted reflec-
tion 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.
This indicates that the meter is in a ready state
and zeroing can be performed.
Sampling in Progress. This prompt appears 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 the
maximum concentration readable (see specifica-
tions) indicates that the sample absorbs too much
light, meaning that the concentration is too high.
Dilutethe sample.
Light over range. The cuvet is not inserted 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 voltage 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 battery to restart.

Theinstructionlisted below should becarefullyfollowedduringtesting
to ensure best accuracy.
• Donotletthetestsample stand too long after reagent isaddedor
accuracy will be lost.
• Wheneverthe cuvetisplaced intothemeasurement cell,itmust 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.
• Each time the cuvet is used, the cap must be tightened to the
same degree.
• 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 measurements, 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).
