GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HI 96734 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
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 messages 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 in measurement mode or after 1 hour if left in
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 96734 meter measures the free and total chlorine (Cl
0.00 to 10.00 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.
The reagents are in powder and liquid form and are supplied in packets and bottles. The amount
of reagent is precisely dosed to ensure the maximum repeatability.

PRECISION 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 3.00
mg/L chlorine and a representative lot of reagent,
an operator obtained with a single instrument a
standard deviation of 0.06 mg/L.

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
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 series colorimeters is based on special subminiature
tungsten lamps and narrow-band interference filters to guarantee both high performance and
reliable results.

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 Io or I.
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 meter 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.

ERRORS AND WARNINGS
The instrument shows clear messages when erroneous condition appears. Messages are also displayed
when the obtained values are outside expected range. The beeper is playing a beep on errors.
a) on zero reading
Light High: There is too much light to perform a measurement.
Please check the preparation of the zero cuvet.
Light Low: There is not enough light to perform a measurement.
Please check the preparation of the zero cuvet.
No Light:The instrument cannot adjust the light level. Please
check that the samples does not contain any debris.
b) on sample reading
Inverted cuvets: The sample and the zero cuvet are inverted.
Zero: A zero reading was not taken. Follow the instructions of
the measurement procedure for zeroing the meter.
10
c) during calibration procedure
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 cuvet 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
re-run the test.
Standard Low: The standard reading is less than expected.
Standard High: The standard reading is higher than expected.
d) other errors and warnings
Cap error: Appears when external light enters in the analysis
cell. Assure that the cuvet cap is present.
Cooling lamp: The instrument waits for the lamp to cool down.
11
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.
GENERAL TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT
The instructions listed below should be carefully followed during testing to ensure best accuracy.
• Color or suspended matter in large amounts may cause
interference, therefore these should be removed by
treatment with active carbon and by prior filtration.
• For a correct filling of the cuvet: the liquid in the cuvet
forms a concavity on the top; the bottom of this concavity
must be at the same level of the 10 mL mark.
• 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 HI 731318 or a lintfree cloth prior to insertion.
12
• Proper use of dropper:
(a) to get good reproducible results, tap the dropper on the table for several times and wipe
the outside of the dropper with a cloth.
(b) always keep the dropper bottle in a vertical position while dosing the reagent.
(a) (b)
• In order to measure exactly 5 mL of reagent with the 5 mL syringe:
(a) push the plunger completely into the syringe and insert the tip into the reagent bottle.
(b) pull the plunger up until the lower edge of the seal is exactly on the 5 mL mark.
(c) take out the syringe and clean the outside of the syringe tip. Be sure that no drops
are hanging on the tip of the syringe, if so eliminate them. Then, keeping the syringe
in vertical position above the cuvet, push the plunger completely down into the syringe.
Now the exact amount of 5 mL has been added to the cuvet.
(a) (b) (c)
• Proper use of the powder reagent packet:
(a) use scissors to open the powder packet;
13
(b) push the edges of the packet to form a spout;
(c) pour out the content of the packet.
• 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 cuvet.
• 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.
STARTUP
