GENERAL DESCRIPTIONGENERAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONGENERAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HI 93705 meter measures the silica (SiO2) content in
water and wastewater in the 0.00 to 2.00 mg/L (ppm)
range.
Themeterusesan exclusive positive-locking systemtoensure
that the cuvet is in the same place every time it is placed
into the measurement cell.
The reagents are in liquid and powder form and are
supplied in bottles and 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
instrument off after 10 minutes of non-use.

This indicates that the meter is in a
ready state and zeroing can be per-
formed.
Sampling in Progress. This prompt ap-
pears 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
themaximumreadableconcentration (see
specifications) indicates that the sample
absorbs too much light, meaning that
the concentration is too high. Dilute the
sample.
Light over range. The cuvet is not in-
serted 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 volt-
age 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 bat-
tery to restart.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
• Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.
• When the LCD displays “- - -”, it is
ready.
• Fill the cuvet with 10 mL of
unreacted sample up to the
mark.
• Add6dropsofHI93705A
molybdate reagent. Re-
place the cap and swirl
the solution.
• Wait for 4 minutes, add
the content of one packet
of HI 93705B citric acid
reagent and shake until it
iscompletelydissolved.
• Wait for 1 minute. This is the blank.
• Place the cuvet into the holder
and ensure that the notch on
the cap is positioned securely
into the groove.
• Press ZERO and “SIP” will appear on the display.
• Wait for a few seconds and the display
will show “-0.0-”. Now the meter is
zeroed and ready for measurement.

• Remove the cuvet and add
the content of one packet of
HI 93705C amino acid re-
agent and shake until it has
dissolved.
• Reinsert the cuvet into the in-
strument.
• Press READ TIMED and the display will show the count-
down prior to the measurement. Alternatively, wait for
exactly 1 minute and press READ DIRECT. In both cases
“SIP” will appear during measurement.
• Theinstrument directly displaysconcentration in mg/Lof
silica (SiO2) on the Liquid Crystal Display.
INTERFERENCES
Interference may be caused by:
Phosphate above 60 mg/L (causes a 2% reduction in
reading)
Phosphate above 75 mg/L (causes an 11% reduction in
reading)
Sulfide and high concentration of iron
Eliminate color and turbidity interferences by zeroing the
meter with the original water sample.
The instruction listed below should be carefully followed
during testing to ensure best accuracy.
• Do not touch the cuvet walls with hands.
• 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.
• Do not let the test sample stand too long after reagent
is added or accuracy will be lost.
• Whenever the cuvet is placed into the measurement cell,
it must 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.
• 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 measure-
ments, 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).

Simply slide off the battery cover on the back of the meter.
Detach the battery from the terminals and attach a fresh
9V battery while paying attention to the correct polarity.
Replace the battery and the cover.
