GENERAL DESCRIPTIONGENERAL DESCRIPTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTIONGENERAL DESCRIPTION

HI 96711 is an auto diagnostic portable microprocessor meter that benefits from Hanna’s years of
experience as manufacturer of analytical instruments. It has an 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 proof 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. Acoustic signals are used to make the instrument
more user-friendly. 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 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 96711 meter measures the free and total chlorine (Cl

0.00 to 5.00 mg/L (ppm) range. The method is an adaptation of the USEPA Method 330.5 for
wastewater and Standard Method 4500-Cl G for drinking water.

FAST TRACKER FEATURE

FAST TRACKER FEATUREFAST TRACKER FEATURE

Hanna is the first manufacturer of colorimeters that has decided to add the unique T.I.S.-Tag
Identification System to our Fast Tracker Ion Specific Meters, to meet the more restrictive needs for
traceability of our clients. This means that from now on you can benefit all advantages of this system
for your colorimetric measurements and data management.

The system is designed for scientific and industrial applications, or to prove during safety audits and
inspections that samples have been truly taken on preestablished locations.

The system is as easy to install as to operate. Just fix the so-called
sites that need to be checked often, and with this the T.I.S. is setup. The tag contains a computer chip
embedded in a durable stainless steel can. It is designed to withstand the harsh environments,
indoors or outdoors. The number of tags that can be installed is practically unlimited, because each
tag has a unique identification code.

iButton® tags near your sampling

Immediately after installation of the tags you can start collecting data. Use the Fast Tracker Ion
Specific Meter to take measurement and memorize the test result by pressing the Log-on-Demand
key. Then, the meter will ask for the tag identification. Simply touching the iButton® with the
matching connector on the Fast Tracker does identify and authenticate logging, time and date stamp
events.

The power of the Fast Tracker and T.I.S. features resides in the PC application. Download all test data
to your PC and use our HI 92000 Windows

®

compatible application software for further data
management. You can sort or filter all your collected test data on different criteria like on a specific
sampling location, parameter, date and time intervals, or fix range to filter measured values. The
data can be plotted in a graph, exported to other common Windows® applications or printed for
reporting purpose.

It is possible to add also new tags later on, thus increasing an already existing database. Each time
the PC software recognizes a not already register tag it will ask for a description of the new sampling
location.

PRECISION AND ACCURACYPRECISION AND ACCURACY

PRECISION AND ACCURACY

PRECISION AND ACCURACYPRECISION AND ACCURACY

Precision is how closely repeated measurements
agree with each other. Precision is usually
expressed as standard deviation (SD).

Accuracy is defined as the nearness of a test
result to the true value.

Although good precision suggests good accuracy,
precise results can be inaccurate. The figure
explains these definitions. In a laboratory using
a standard solution of 1.00 mg/L chlorine and a
representative lot of reagent, an operator obtained
with a single instrument a standard deviation
of 0.02 mg/L.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATIONPRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATIONPRINCIPLE 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:

= ε

–log I/I

c d

o

λ

or

ε

=

λ

c d

A

Where:

–log I/I

= Absorbance (A)

o

Io= intensity of incident light beam
I = intensity of light beam after absorption

ε

= molar extinction coefficient at wavelength λ

λ

c = molar concentration of the substance
d = optical path through the substance

Therefore, the concentration “c” can be calculated from the absorbance of the substance as the
other factors are known.

Photometric chemical analysis is based on the possibility to develop an absorbing compound
from a specific chemical reaction between sample and reagents. Given that the absorption of a
compound strictly depends on the wavelength of the incident light beam, a narrow spectral
bandwidth should be selected as well as a proper central wavelength to optimize measurements.

The optical system of Hanna's HI 96 colorimeters series is based on special subminiature
tungsten lamps and narrow-band interference filters to guarantee both high performance and
reliable results.

Block diagram (optical layout)

7

A microprocessor controlled special tungsten lamp emits radiation which is first optically conditioned
and beamed to the sample contained in the cuvet. The optical path is fixed by the diameter of the
cuvet. Then the light is spectrally filtered to a narrow spectral bandwidth, to obtain a light beam of
intensity I

or I.

o

The photoelectric cell collects the radiation I that is not absorbed by the sample and converts
it into an electric current, producing a potential in the mV range.

The microprocessor uses this potential to convert the incoming value into the desired measuring
unit and to display it on the LCD.

The measurement process is carried out in two phases: first the instrument is zeroed and then the
actual measurement is performed.

The cuvet has a very important role because it is an optical element and thus requires particular
attention. It is important that both the measurement and the calibration (zeroing) cuvets are
optically identical to provide the same measurement conditions. Whenever possible use the same
cuvet for both. It is necessary that the surface of the cuvet is clean and not scratched. This to
avoid measurement interference due to unwanted reflection and absorption of light. It is
recommended not to touch the cuvet walls with hands.

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

GENERAL TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENTGENERAL TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT

GENERAL TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT

GENERAL TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENTGENERAL TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT

The instructions listed below should be carefully followed during testing, to ensure best accuracy.

• For filling correctly the cuvet: the liquid in the cuvet forms a
convexity on the top; the bottom of this convexity must be at the
same level of the 10 mL mark.

• Proper use of the powder reagent 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.

• It is important that the sample does not contain any debris. This would corrupt the reading.

• Each time the cuvet is used, the cap must be tightened to the same degree.

• Whenever the cuvet is placed into the measurement cell, it must be dry
outside, and completely free of fingerprints, oil or dirt. Wipe it
thoroughly with the supplied tissue (HI 731318) or a lint-free cloth
prior to insertion.

• Shaking the cuvet can generate bubbles in the sample, causing higher
readings. To obtain accurate measurements, remove such bubbles by
swirling or by gently tapping the vial.

• Do not let the reacted sample stand too long after reagent is added, or accuracy will be lost.

• 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 cuvet for zeroing and measurement.

• After the reading it is important to discard immediately the sample, otherwise the glass
might become permanently stained.

• All the reaction times reported in this manual are referred to 20°C (68°F). As a general rule
of thumb, they should be doubled at 10°C (50°F) and halved at 30°C (86°F).

• In order to maximize accuracy, prior to a measurement follow the validation procedure, to
be sure that the instrument is properly calibrated. If necessary, calibrate the instrument.
