Errors and warnings:

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.

Measurement procedure: Accessories:Tips for an accurate measurement

• 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 add 6 drops of HI 705A-0
reagent A. Replace the cap and swirl the
solution. Wait for 4 minutes and add the
content of one packet of HI 705B-0 reagent
B. Replace the cap and shake until it is
completly dissolved. Wait for 1 minute. This
is the blank. 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 HI 705C-O reagent C. Replace the
cap and shake until it is completly 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.

• 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
HI 731318 or a lint-free cloth prior to insertion.

• Shaking the cuvette can generate bubbles, causing higher readings. To obtain
accurate measurements, remove 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.

Battery management

To save the battery, the instrument shuts down after 10 minutes of non-use.
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.
