Errors and warnings:
ON ZERO READING:
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.
No Light: The instrument cannot adjust the
light level. Please check that the sample does
not contain any debris.
ON SAMPLE READING:
Inverted cuvettes: The sample and the zero
cuvette are inverted.
Zero: A zero reading was not taken. Follow the
instructions of the measurement procedure for
zeroing the meter.
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 an over range condition.
The concentration of the sample is beyond the
programmed range: dilute the sample and rerun the test.
DURING CALIBRATION PROCEDURE:
Standard Low: The standard reading is less
than expected.
Standard High: The standard reading is higher
than expected.
OTHER ERRORS AND WARNINGS:
Cap error: Appears when external light enters
in the analysis cell. Assure that the cuvette cap
is present.
Cooling lamp: The instrument waits for the
lamp to cool down.
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, the meter will lock up.
Change the battery and restart the meter.
Measurement procedure:
Measurement
1• Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.
2• When the beeper sounds briefly and the
LCD displays dashes, the meter is ready.
The blinking “ZERO” indicates that the
instrument needs to be zeroed first.
3• Fill a graduated beaker with 50 mL of
sample.
4• Add the content of one packet of
HI 96712A-0 Aluminum Reagent A and
mix until dissolution is complete.
5• In the same beaker add the content of
one packet of HI 96712B-0 Aluminum
Reagent B and mix until dissolution is
complete. This is the sample.
6• Fill two cuvettes with 10 mL of sample
each.
7• Add the content of one packet of
HI 96712C-0 Aluminum Reagent C to
only one of the two cuvettes. Replace the
cap and shake gently. This is the blank.
8• Place the blank into the holder and ensure
that the notch on the cap is positioned
securely into the groove.
9• Press and hold READ/ /TIMER for three
seconds. The display will show the
countdown prior to measurement. The
beeper is playing a beep at the end of
countdown period. Alternatively, wait for
15 minutes and press ZERO/CFM directly.
In both cases the lamp, cuvette and
detector icons will appear on the display,
depending on the measurement phase.
10•After a few seconds the display will show
“-0.0-”. The meter is now zeroed and
ready for measurement.
11•Remove the blank and insert the other

13•At the and of measurement, the instrument
directly displays concentration in mg/L of
aluminum on the Liquid Crystal Display.
INTERFERENCES
Iron above 20 mg/L
Alkalinity above 1000 mg/L
Phosphate avove 50 mg/L
Flouride will interfere at all levels.
Validation and Calibration procedures
Warning: do not validate or calibrate the instrument with standard
solutions other than the Hanna CAL CHECK™ Standards, otherwise
erroneous results will be obtained.
For accurate validation and calibration results, please perform tests at
room temperature (18 to 25°C; 64.5 to 77.0°F).
Use the Hanna CAL CHECK™ cuvettes (see
“Accessories”) to validate or calibrate
instruments.
VALIDATION
1• Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.
2• When the beeper sounds briefly and the
LCD displays dashes, the meter is ready.
3• Place the CAL CHECK™ Standard
HI 96712-11 Cuvette A into the holder
and ensure that the notch on the cap
is positioned securely into the groove.
4• Press ZERO/CFM and the lamp, cuvette
and detector icons will appear on the display,
depending on the measurement phase.
5• After a few seconds the display will show
“-0.0-”. The meter is now zeroed and
ready for validation.
6• Remove the cuvette.
7• Place the CAL CHECK™ Standard
HI 96712-11 Cuvette B into the holder
and ensure that the notch on the cap is
positioned securely into the groove.
8• Press CAL CHECK key and the lamp,
cuvette and detector icons together with
“CAL CHECK” will appear on the display,
depending on the measurement phase.
9• At the end of the measurement the display
will show the validation standard value.
The reading should be within specifications

as reported on the CAL CHECK™ Standard
Certificate. If the value is found out of
specifications, please check that the cuvettes
are free of fingerprints, oil or dirt and
repeat validation. If results are still found
out of specifications then recalibrate the
instrument.
CALIBRATION
Note: It is possible to interrupt the calibration
procedure at any time by pressing CAL
CHECK or ON/OFF keys.
1• Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.
2• When the beeper sounds briefly and the
LCD displays dashes, the meter is ready.
3• Press and hold CAL CHECK for three seconds
to enter
calibration mode.

The blinking “ZERO” asks for instrument
zeroing.
4• Place the CAL CHECK™ Standard
HI 96712-11 Cuvette A into the cuvette
holder and ensure that the notch on the
cap is positioned securely into the groove.
5• Press ZERO/CFM and the lamp, cuvette
and detector icons will appear on the
display, depending on the measurement
phase.
6• After a few seconds the display will show
“-0.0-”. The meter is now zeroed and
ready for calibration. The blinking “READ”
asks for reading calibration standard.
7• Remove the cuvette.
8• Place the CAL CHECK™ Standard
HI 96712-11 Cuvette B into the holder
and ensure that the notch on the cap is
positioned securely into the groove.
9• Press READ/ /TIMER and the lamp,
cuvette and detector icons will appear on
the display, depending on the measurement
phase.
10• After measurment the instrument will show
for three seconds the CAL CHECK™
standard value.
Note: If the display shows “STD HIGH”, the
standard value was too high. If the
display shows “STD LOW”, the standard
value was too low. Verify that both CAL
CHECK™ Standard HI 96712-11 Cuvettes, A and B are free from fingerprints

If a valid measurement was displayed before
auto-shut off, the value is displayed when the
instrument is switched on. The blinking “ZERO”
means that a new zero has to be performed.
One fresh battery lasts for arround 750 measurements, depending on the
light level.
The remaining battery capacity is evaluated at the instrument startup
and after each measurement.
The instrument displays a battery indicator with three levels as follows:
• 3 lines for 100 % capacity
• 2 lines for 66 % capacity
• 1 line for 33 % capacity
• Battery icon blinking if the capacity is under 10 %.
If the battery is empty and accurate measurements can’t be taken any
more, the instrument shows “dead batt” and turns off.
To restart the instrument, the battery must be replaced with a fresh one.
To replace the instrument’s battery, follow the steps:
• Turn the instrument off by pressing ON/OFF.
• Turn the instrument upside down and remove the battery cover by
turning it counterclockwise.
• Extract the battery from its location and replace it with a fresh one.
• Insert back the battery cover and turn it clockwise to close.
