GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Hanna HI 93102 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.
HI 93102 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, HI 93102 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.

HI 93102 and all accessories such as sample
vials, reagent pillows, primary standards, can
be easily stored in the optional carrying case.

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.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Turbidity Mode

HI 93102 has been designed to perform mea-

surements according to the USEPA’s 180.1
method and the Standard Method 2130B.

The instrument functions by passing a beam
of light through a vial containing the sample
being measured.

The light source is a Pure Green LED to
ensure that any interference caused by a
colored samples is minimized.

A sensor, positioned at 90° with respect to
the direction of light, detects the amount of
light scattered by the undissolved particles
present in the sample. The microprocessor
converts such readings into NTU* values.

Colorimetric Mode

The color of every object we see is deter­mined by a process of absorption and emis­sion of the electromagnetic radiation (light) of
its molecules.

Colorimetric analysis is based on the principle
that specific compounds react with others to
form a color, the intensity of which is
proportional to the concentration of the
substance being measured.

LIGHT

DETECTOR

When a substance is exposed to a beam of
light 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.

The quantity of radiation absorbed is given by
the Lambert-Beer Law:

log Io/I = ελ c d

NTU units are equal to FTU units. However,
there are other known measurement units for
turbidity, namely the Jackson Turbidity Unit
(JTU) based on the old method of Jackson's
candle, and Silica Unit (mg / L of SiO2). The
conversion table between these measurement
units is shown below:

JTU NTU/FTU SiO2 (mg/L)

JTU 1 19 2.5

NTU/FTU 0.053 1 0.13

SiO2 (mg/L) 0.4 7.5 1

6

* 1 NTU = 1 FTU

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 the sample

Since other factors are known, the concen­tration "c" can be calculated from the color
intensity of the substance determined by the
emitted radiation I.

An LED (Light Emitting Diode) emits radiation
at a relatively narrow spectrum, supplying the
system with the intensity Io.

7

A substance absorbs a color complimentary
to the color it emits. For example, a
substance appears yellow because it absorbs
blue light. As a result, the Hanna meters use
LED’s with specific wavelengths to measure
samples.

The optical distance (d) is measured by the
internal diameter of the cuvet containing the
sample.

The photoelectric cell collects the radiation I
that is not absorbed by the sample and
converts it into an electric current.

The microprocessor converts the value into
the desired measuring unit and displays it on
the LCD.

The measurement process is done in two
phases: setting the meter to zero and actual
measurement.

The cuvet is an optical element and hence
has an important role in the measurement
process. Both the measurement and the
calibration cuvets must be optically identical
to provide the same measurement conditions.

It is also important that the surface of the
cuvet is clean and free from scratches or
dents, in order to avoid measurement
interference due to unwanted reflection and
absorption of light.

It is recommended that wherever possible the
cuvet walls are not touched by the operator.

Furthermore, in order to maintain the same
conditions during the zeroing and the
measuring phases, it is necessary to close
the cuvets to prevent any contamination.

all segments for several
seconds when the meter
is switched on. It then dis­plays four dashes to indi­cate “ready to measure”.
It is also the area where
the date, time and value
of last calibration are
shown. In “Read” and
“Zero” mode, “SIP” is
shown to indicate “Sample

9

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”,
“tCL”, “CY”, “PH”, “Id”,
“Br”, “L FE”, “tr”, and di­agnostic or calibration
modes, such as “d11”,
“2 Fn”, “5c1”.

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

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

A “LOBAT” indication
appears on the lower
right hand side of the
display when the bat­teries are weak and require replacement. At
this point the instrument is still able to per­form approximately 50 additional measure­ments.

A “-BA-” indication will
appear on the display
when the batteries are
too weak to perform
accurate measurements. This message ap­pears for a few seconds and then the meter
will completely switch itself off. At this point
the batteries must be replaced.

Batteries should only
be replaced in a safe
area using 1.5V AA al­kaline type.

In order to replace the
batteries, simply re­move the two screws
on the rear cover of the
instrument and replace
all four 1.5V AA batter­ies with new ones,
while paying attention
to their polarity.

DIAGNOSTIC CODES

LOBAT Weak batteries. Change all batter-

ies as soon as possible.

-BA- Exhausted batteries. Change all
batteries immediately.

-LO- Low level of light is received during
the zeroing procedure.
Check for scratches on the cuvet
and ensure that sample is not ex­cessively turbid. Repeat the read­ings. If the problem persists,
recalibrate the meter using deion­ized water in the diagnostic mode
“31” (see Calibration).

-CAP- Light intensity is high during last
measurement. Make sure the cuvet
is capped and placed properly in
the holder, and that ambient light
does not reach the photodetector.
Repeat the measurement. If the
problem persists, contact your dealer
or the nearest Hanna Office.

Er 1 Hardware error. Repeat the mea-

surement. If the error message ap­pears again, contact your dealer or
the nearest Hanna Office.

rnG Out of range. Check the measuring

procedure and verify the
concentration of the sample to
ensure that is not too high.
