GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Hanna C 102 is a portable microprocessor driven, multiparameter, turbidity and ion
specific meter. It measures Free & Total Chlorine, Cyanuric Acid, pH, Iodine, Bromine, Low
Range Iron and Turbidity.
In the colorimetric mode, the user can select
either factory preprogrammed calibration settings or calibrate the meter using customized
calibration values based on the concentration
or relative absorbance of the sample. Calibration data is also stored in a non-volatile
EEPROM.
In the turbidity mode, periodic recalibration of
the meter with primary standards according
to regulatory requirements or personal experience is suggested. Turbidity ranges are 0.00-
9.99 NTU and 10.0-50.0 NTU.
C 102 complies with G.L.P. Standards (Good
Laboratory Practice), that is:
• When switched on, the LCD displays all
segments (display check).
• Battery status is monitored during every
measurement cycle warning the user if the
batteries become weak. In addition, C102
will turn itself off before low voltage causes
erroneous readings.
• It utilizes a real time clock and recalls
calibration data such as date, time and
calibration values.
There are eight keys for the different
operationals modes. The large Liquid Crystal
Display is dual-level: the upper level has four
digits and can display the measured parameter in hundredths. The lower level has three
characters and indicates current mode (e.g.
F CL for free chlorine or TR for turbidity).
Different LCD segments indicate low battery,
logging mode, date, time, etc.
A pure Green LED has been utilized as a
light source for both turbidimetric and colorimetric measurements. A silicon photocell is
used to receive transmitted light from colorimetric channel while another photocell receives scattered light from the turbidimetric
(nephelometric) channel.
In order to measure colorimetric parameters,
all the operator has to do is zero the blank
sample and then add 1 packet of reagent (for
Bromine, Chlorine, Cyanuric Acid, Iodine and
Low Range Iron) or 0.2 mL of Phenol Red (for
pH). After placing the cuvet back in the meter
and pressing READ, the measurements are
shown directly on the LCD.
The instrument operates with four AA batteries and may be operator-programmed to turn
itself off automatically after 10, 20, 30, 40, 50
or 60 minutes of inactivity.
C 102 and all accessories such as sample
vials, reagent pillows, primary standards, can
be easily stored in the optional carrying case
(HI 710031).
To facilitate field tests, the meter provides a
logging mode. In this mode, the user can
store up to twenty five time-tagged measurements in RAM and scroll the memory at any
time.

In Progress”. The upper
level also indicates the
concentration or turbidity
of the sample, as well as
different diagnostic modes,
such as “-BA-” for low battery.
2) Secondary
LCD: The three-digit LCD shows
the current mode of measurement that is “F CL”,
“t CL”, “CY”, “PH”, “Id”,
“Br”, “L FE”, “tr”, and diagnostic or calibration
modes, such as “d 11”,
“2 Fn”, “5 c1”.
3) DATE: Indicates that the upper
level of LCD is showing
the current date, the date
of last calibration or the
date of logged measurement in memory.
4) TIME: Indicates that the upper
level of LCD is showing
the current time, the time
of last calibration or the
time of logged measurement in memory.
5) LOBAT: Blinking segment warns
user of low battery voltage.
6) LOG: If intermittent, it indicates
that the user is in the scroll
mode viewing the logged
measurements. If fixed, it
indicates that the meter
is in the log mode and
every reading taken will be
stored in memory.
7) ON/OFF key: Turns the meter on and
off.
8) ZERO / key: In ion specific (colorimetric) mode, it zeros the
sample. In calibration and
diagnostic modes, it functions as ENTER (not used
in turbidity mode).
9) READ / key: Takes the measuremnt of
concentration/turbidity of
the sample which is shown
on the LCD. In diagnostic
or calibration mode, shifts
the flashing digit to the
right.
10) CAL key: If pressed during calibration, the calibration procedure will be aborted and
the last calibration data will
be reinstated. If pressed
together with the ALT key
for less then 3 seconds,
the diagnostic mode will
be entered. If pressed together with the ALT key
again, the meter will quit
diagnostic mode. If
pressed for more then 3
seconds, an intermittent
“CAL” prompt will appear
on the upper LCD level
and the calibration procedure is entered.
11) GLP / Abs key: In ion specific mode, it will
toggle concentration/absorbance readings on the
upper LCD. In turbidity
mode, date, time and the
two calibration values of
the current mode will be

shown. If pressed in
time/date setup mode, the
meter will quit current
mode without making any
changes to current time/
date.
12) key Scrolls upwards through
the parameters to be measured. In calibration/diagnostic mode, increments
the blinking digit by one.
If pressed together with
ALT while the meter is in
logging mode, the upper
LCD will show the data
(date/time/value) in the
memory.
13) ALT key: Alternative functions.
14) key: Scrolls downwards through
the parameters to be measured. In calibration/diagnostic mode, decreases
the blinking digit by one.
If pressed together with
ALT while the meter is in
logging mode, the upper
LCD will show the current
lot number.
