User manual HANNA INSTRUMENTS HI 93713

[. . . ] A flashing value higher than the maximum concentration readable (see specifications) indicates that the sample absorbs too much light, meaning that the concentration is too high. The cuvet is not inserted correctly and an excess ambient light is reaching the detector. If the cover is properly installed, then contact your dealer or the nearest Hanna Customer Service Center. The zero sample is too dark for proper zeroing. [. . . ] If the repair is not covered by the warranty, you will be notified of the charges incurred. If the instrument is to be returned to Hanna Instruments, first obtain a Returned Goods Authorization Number from the Customer Service department and then send it with shipment costs prepaid. When shipping any instrument, make sure it is properly packaged for complete protection. To validate your warranty, fill out and return the enclosed warranty card within 14 days from the date of purchase.

The HI 93713 meter measures phosphate (PO43­) content in water, wastewater and seawater in the 0. 00 to 2. 50 mg/L (ppm) range. The meter uses an exclusive positive-locking system to ensure that the cuvet is in the same place every time it is placed into the measurement cell. The reagents are in powder form and are supplied in packets. The amount of reagent is precisely dosed to ensure maximum repeatability. Display codes aid the user in routine operations. The meters have an auto-shut off feature that will turn the instrument off after 10 minutes of non-use. Light Emitting Diode @ 890 nm Adaptation of the ascorbic acid method. The reaction between phosphate and the reagent causes a blue tint in the sample Light Detector Silicon Photocell Environment 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F); max 95% RH non-condensing Battery Type/Life 1 x 9 volt/40 hours Auto-Shut off After 10' of non-use Dimensions 80 x 83 x 46 mm (7. 1 x 3. 3 x 1. 8") Weight 290 g (10 oz. ) V REQUIRED REAGENTS Code HI 93713-0 Description Powder reagent Quantity 1 packet REAGENT SETS HI 93713-01 Reagents for 100 tests HI 93713-03 Reagents for 300 tests Operational Guide MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE · Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF. ON OFF · Reinsert the cuvet into the instrument. Tips for an Accurate Measurement The instruction listed below should be carefully followed during testing to ensure best accuracy. · Do not touch the cuvet walls with hands. · 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. · Do not let the test sample stand too long after reagent is added or accuracy will be lost. · Whenever the cuvet is placed into the measurement cell, it must be completely free of fingerprints, oil or dirt. Wipe it thoroughly with HI 731318 or a lint-free cloth prior to insertion. · It is important that the sample does not contain any debris. [. . . ] · To convert the PO43­ ion concentration to Phosphate P concentration, multiply the reading by a factor of 0. 33. CE Declaration of Conformity INTERFERENCES Interference may be caused by: Iron above 50 mg/L Silica above 50 mg/L Silicate above 10 mg/L Copper above 10 mg/L Hydrogen sulfide, arsenate, turbid sample and highly buffered samples also interfere. · Wait for a few seconds and the display will show "-0. 0-". Now the meter is zeroed and ready for measurement. Battery Replacement · Remove the cuvet and add the content of one packet of HI 93713 reagent. Battery replacement must only take place in a non-hazardous area using a 9V alkaline battery. Simply slide off the battery cover on the back of the meter. [. . . ]
