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/I
= el c d

other factors are constant. Photometric chemical analysis is based on specific chemical reactions between a sample and reagent to produce a light‑absorbing compound.
4.5. OPTICAL SYSTEM
10
Instrument Block Diagram
The internal reference system (reference detector) of the HI83303 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.

(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
PHOTOMETER MODE
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.
Page 19
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:
PHOTOMETER MODE
shake gently shake vigorously
In order to avoid reagent leaking and to obtain more accurate measurements, close the cuvette first with the supplied HDPE plastic stopper 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.
and then the

Page 20
Do not let the reacted sample stand too long after reagent is added. For best accuracy, respect the timings described in each specific method.
It is possible to take multiple readings in a row, but it is recommended to take a new zero reading for each sample and to use the same cuvette for zeroing and measurement when possible. Discard the sample immediately after the reading is taken, or the glass might become permanently stained. All the reaction times reported in this manual are at 25 °C (77 °F). In general, the reaction time should be increased for temperatures lower
PHOTOMETER MODE
than 20 °C (68 °F), and decreased for temperatures higher than 25 °C (77 °F).
Interference
In the method measurement section the most common interferences that may be present in a typical water sample have been reported. It is possible that a particular application could introduce other compounds that will also interfere.
6.4. TIMERS AND MEASUREMENT FUNCTIONS
Each method requires a different preparation procedure, reaction times, sample preparations, etc. If a timer or timers are necessary for proper sample preparation, the Timer key will be available.
To use a reaction timer, press the Timer key.
The default timer will start immediately. To stop and reset the timer, press Stop.
20
If the selected method requires more than one timer, the meter will automatically select each timer in the appropriate order. To bypass the default order, you may press the desired key to activate a different timer (only while the current timer is stopped). Press Continue to start the active timer.
For some methods, the timer is only necessary after a Zero measurement has been performed. In this case, the timer key will only be available after the Zero measurement has been performed.
If the method requires a Zero or Read measurement after a timer has expired, the meter will automatically perform the appropriate action. Follow the instructions in the Method Procedure.
To perform a Zero or Read measurement, insert the appropriate prepared cuvette, then press the Zero or Read key. A Zero measurement must be conducted before Read measurements.

Preparation
Pour small quantities of the buffer solutions into clean beakers. If possible, use plastic beakers to minimize any EMC interferences. For accurate calibration and to minimize cross‑contamination, use two beakers for each buffer solution: one for rinsing the electrode and one for calibration. If you are measuring in the acidic range, use pH 7.01 or 6.86 as the first buffer and pH 4.01 as the second
PROBE MODE
buffer. If you are measuring in the alkaline range, use pH 7.01 or 6.86 as the first buffer and pH 10.01 or 9.18 as the second buffer.
Procedure
Calibration can be performed using one or two calibration buffers. For more accurate measurements, a two‑point calibration is recommended. Submerse the pH electrode approximately 3 cm (1¼”) into a buffer solution and stir gently. From the Probe Measurement screen, press the Calibrate key to begin the calibration process.
When the reading is stable and close to the selected buffer, the Confirm key will become available. Press Confirm to accept and store the calibration point.
The meter will now prompt for the second buffer (“Buffer: 2”). To use only a one‑point calibration, press to the probe and return to Measurement mode. To continue calibrating with a second buffer, rinse and submerse the pH electrode approximately 3 cm (1¼”) into the second buffer solution and stir gently. If necessary, press
to exit calibration mode at this time. The meter will store the calibration information
keys to select a different buffer value.

7.2. pH CALIBRATION MESSAGES
Clean Probe:
The "Clean Probe" message indicates poor electrode performance (offset out of accepted window, or slope under the accepted lower limit). Often, cleaning the probe will improve the pH electrode's response. See pH Electrode Conditioning and Maintenance for details. Repeat calibration after cleaning.
Check Probe & Buffer:
The “Check Probe & Buffer” message appears when there is a large difference between the pH measurement and the selected buffer value, or the electrode slope is outside of the accepted slope limit. You should check your probe and confirm the correct buffer selection. Cleaning may also improve this response.
Wrong Temperature:
The buffer temperature is too extreme for the selected buffer value.

The HI83303 can be used to perform direct pH measurements by connecting a HANNA 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.

While taking pH probe measurements, the following functions are available:
Calibrate: Press to access electrode calibration functions.
GLP: Press to review the last calibration information, including date/time, buffers used, slope,
and offset.
Range: Press to switch between “pH” units and “mV” units.

Press to log the current measurement.
PROBE MODE
For high accuracy it is recommended to calibrate your electrode often. pH electrodes should be recalibrated at least once per week, but daily calibration is recommended. Always recalibrate after cleaning an electrode. See page 23 for more information on pH calibration.
To take pH measurements:
• Remove the protective cap and rinse the electrode with water.
• Collect some sample in a clean, dry beaker.
• Preferably, rinse the electrode with a small amount of sample. Discard the rinse.
• Submerse the electrode tip approximately 3 cm (1¼”) into the sample to be tested and stir the sample gently. Make sure the electrode junction is completely submersed.
• Allow time for the electrode to stabilize in the sample. When the reading is stable.
If measurements are taken successively in different samples, it is recommended to rinse the electrodes thoroughly with deionized or distilled water and then with some of the next sample to prevent cross‑contamination.
pH measurements are affected by temperature. HANNA temperature sensor and automatically calculate corrected pH values. The measured temperature is displayed on the screen with the pH measurements.

No Probe:
No probe is connected or the probe is broken.
Connecting:
The meter has detected a probe and is reading the probe configuration and calibration information.
Incompatible Probe:
The connected probe is not compatible with this device.
Incompatible Calibration:
The probe’s current calibration is not compatible with this meter. The calibration must be cleared to use this probe.
Exceeded Probe Range:
The pH and/or temperature measurement exceed the specifications of the probe. The affected measurement value(s) will be flashing.
Broken Temperature Sensor:
The temperature sensor inside the probe is broken. Temperature compensation will revert to a fixed value of 25 °C (77 °C).

7.6. pH ELECTRODE CONDITIONING AND MAINTENANCE
Remove the protective cap of the pH electrode. DO NOT BE ALARMED IF SALT DEPOSITS ARE PRESENT. This is normal with electrodes. They will disappear when rinsed with water. During transport, tiny bubbles of air may form inside the glass bulb affecting proper functioning of the electrode. These bubbles can be removed by “shaking down” the electrode as you would do with a glass thermometer. If the bulb and/or junction is dry, soak the electrode in HI70300 or HI80300 storage solution for at least one hour.
PROBE MODE
For refillable electrodes: If the filling solution (electrolyte) is more than 2½ cm (1”) below the fill hole, add HI7082 or
HI8082 3.5M KCl Electrolyte Solution for double junction electrodes.
Unscrew the fill hole cover during measurements so the liquid reference junction maintains an outward flow of electrolyte.
Measurement
Rinse the electrode tip with distilled water. Submerse the tip 3 cm (1¼”) in the sample and stir gently for a few seconds. For a faster response and to avoid cross‑contamination of the samples, rinse the electrode tip with a few drops of the solution to be tested, before taking measurements.
29
Page 30
Storage Procedure
To minimize clogging and ensure a quick response time, the glass bulb and the junction should be kept moist and not allowed to dry out.
Replace the solution in the protective cap with a few drops of HI70300 or HI80300 Storage Solution or, in its absence, Filling Solution (HI7082 or HI8082 for double junction electrodes).
PROBE MODE
Follow the preparation procedure before taking measurements.
Note: NEVER STORE THE ELECTRODE IN DISTILLED OR DEIONIZED WATER.
Periodic Maintenance
Inspect the electrode and the cable. The cable used for connection to the instrument must be intact and there must be no points of broken insulation on the cable or cracks on the electrode stem or bulb. Connectors must be perfectly clean and dry. If any scratches or cracks are present, replace the electrode. Rinse off any salt deposits with water. For refillable electrodes: Refill the reference chamber with fresh electrolyte (HI7082 or HI8082 for double junction electrodes). Allow the electrode to stand upright for 1 hour. Follow the Storage Procedure above.
Cleaning Procedure
Use diagnostic messages to aid pH electrode troubleshooting. Several cleaning solutions are available:
• General – Soak in Hanna HI7061 or HI8061 General Cleaning Solution for approximately ½ hour.
• Protein –Soak in Hanna HI7073 or HI8073 Protein Cleaning Solution for 15 minutes.
• Inorganic – Soak in Hanna HI7074 Inorganic Cleaning Solution for 15 minutes.
• Oil/grease – Rinse with Hanna HI7077 or HI8077 Oil and Fat Cleaning Solution.
30
Note: After performing any of the cleaning procedures, rinse the electrode thoroughly with distilled water, refill the reference chamber with fresh electrolyte (not necessary for gel- filled electrodes) and soak the electrode in HI70300 or HI80300 Storage Solution for at least 1 hour before taking measurements.
Temperature Correlation For pH Sensitive Glass
Verify the temperature range by reading the limits on electrodes cap. The pH electrode’s life also depends on the temperature that is used. If constantly cycled between two temperatures, the life of the electrode is drastically reduced.
