GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CE DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
The HI 95711 is an auto diagnostic portable microprocessor meter that benefits from Hanna’s
years of experience as a manufacturer of analytical instruments. It has the advanced optical
system based on a special tungsten lamp and a narrow band interference filter that allows most
accurate and repeatable readings. All instruments are factory calibrated and the electronic and
optical design minimizes the need of frequent calibration.
With the powerful CAL CHECK™ validation function you are able to validate good performance of
your instrument at any time. The validation procedure is extremely user friendly. Just use the exclusive
Hanna ready-made, NIST traceable standards to verify the performance of the instrument and
recalibrate if necessary.
All instruments are splash waterproof and the lamp and filter units are protected from dust or dirt by
a transparent cup. This makes the instruments fulfill field applications. Display codes aid the user in
routine operation. The meter has an auto-shut off feature that will turn off the instrument after 10
minutes of non use or after 1 hour if left in the calibration mode.
The meter uses an exclusive positive-locking system to ensure that the cuvet is in the same position
every time it is placed into the measurement cell. It is designed to fit a cuvet with a larger neck
making it easier to add both sample and reagents. The cuvet is made from special optical glass to
obtain best results.
The HI 95711 meter measures the free and total chlorine (Cl
) content in water samples in the 0.00
2
to 5.00 mg/L (ppm) range. The method is an adaption of the USEPA METHOD 330.5 for wastewater,
and Standard Method 4500-Cl G for drinking water.
The reagents are in
powder form and are supplied in packets. The amount of reagent is precisely dosed
to ensure the maximum repeatability.
