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, normal operation of the instrument will be interrupted. Change the battery and restart the meter.

Measurement procedure

Measurement

5-6

1• Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF. 2• When the beeper sounds briefly, the LCD

displays dashes and “P1” (Chlorine Low Range) or “P2” (Chlorine Ultra High Range) the meter is ready. The code that appears on the secondary display is the one of the last selected parameter. If necessary, press RANGE/GLP/ to change parameter. The blinking “ZERO” indicates that the instrument needs to be zeroed first.

3• Fill the cuvette with 10 mL of unreacted

sample, up to the mark, and replace the cap.

4• Place the cuvette 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 measurement.

7• Remove the cuvette. 8• Add the content of the packets for the

specific test reagents: Chlorine LR: 1 packet of HI 93701-0 Chlorine UHR: 1 packet of HI 95771A-0 and 1 packet of HI 95771B-0.

9• Replace the cap and shake gently for

20 seconds.

10•Replace the cuvette into the cuvette holder

and ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned securely into the groove.

11•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 1 minute and just press READ/ /TIMER. In both cases the lamp, cuvette and detector icons will appear on the display, depending on the measurement phase.

12•The instrument directly displays concentration

in mg/L of free chlorine and the range number on the LCD.

INTERFERENCES FOR CHLORINE LR

• Positive error: Bromine, Oxidized Manganese and Chromium, Chlorine dioxide, Ozone and Iodine.

• Alkalinity above 250 mg/L CaCO3 or acidity above 150 mg/L CaCO3 will not reliably develop the full amount of color or it may rapidly fade. To resolve this, neutralize the sample with diluted HCl or NaOH.

• In case of water with hardness greater than 500 mg/L CaCO3, shake the sample for approximately 2 minutes after adding the powder reagent.

INTERFERENCES FOR CHLORINE UHR

• Positive error: Bromine, Oxidized Manganese and Chromium, Chlorine dioxide, Ozone and Iodine.

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

Note: The validation is performed only for the

selected parameter. For full validation of the instrument, the following procedure must be performed for each parameter.

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

HI96771-11 Cuvette A into the cuvette

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 specific CAL CHECKTM Standard

HI96771-11 Cuvette B into the cuvette holder, for 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.

Validation

4-5

3”

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.

When calibrating, only the selected range is affected.

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• To change the range, simply press

RANGE/GLP/ .

4• Press and hold CAL CHECK for three

seconds to enter display will show “CAL” during calibration procedure. The blinking “ZERO” asks for instrument zeroing.

5• Place the CAL CHECK™ Standard

HI96771-11 Cuvette A into the cuvette

holder and ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned securely into the groove.

6• Press ZERO/CFM and the lamp, cuvette

and detector icons will appear on the display, depending on the measurement phase.

7• 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.

8• Remove the cuvette. 9• Place the specific CAL CHECKTM Standard

HI96771-11 Cuvette B into the cuvette holder, for and ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned securely into the groove.

10•Press READ/ /TIMER and the lamp,

cuvette and detector icons will appear on the display, depending on the measurement phase.

11•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 HI96771-11 Cuvettes, A and B are free from fingerprints

instrument is switched on. The blinking “ZERO” means that a new zero has to be performed.

One fresh battery lasts for around 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
