User manual HANNA INSTRUMENTS HI 93746

[. . . ] 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 93746 meter measures the iron content in water, wastewater and seawater in the 0 to 400 µg/L (ppb) 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 @ 555 nm Adaptation of the TPTZ Method. The reaction between iron 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 180 x 83 x 46 mm (7. 1 x 3. 3 x 1. 8") Weight 290 g (10 oz. ).

ON OFF · Fill one graduated mixing cylinder up to the 25 mL mark with the sample. · Add the content of one packet of HI 93746 TPTZ reagent, close the cylinder and agitate for 30 seconds. 12 9 Sample pH should be between 3 and 4 to avoid developed color to fade or turbidity. ACCESSORIES REAGENT SETS HI 93746-01 Reagents for Iron LR (100 packets) HI 93746-03 Reagents for Iron LR (300 packets) 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. [. . . ] · Place the cuvet into the holder and ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned securely into the groove. 1. 5 cm · Press READ TIMED and the display will show the countdown prior to the measurement, or, alternatively wait for 30 seconds and press READ DIRECT. In both cases "SIP" will appear during measurement. READ TIMED · The instrument directly displays concentration in µg/L of iron on the Liquid Crystal Display. · Press ZERO and "SIP" will appear on the display. ZERO INTERFERENCES Interference may be caused by: Cadmium above 4. 0 mg/L Chromium3+ above 0. 25 mg/L Chromium6+ above 1. 2 mg/L Cobalt above 0. 05 mg/L Copper above 0. 6 mg/L Cyanide above 2. 8 mg/L Manganese above 50. 0 mg/L Mercury above 0. 4 mg/L Molybdenum above 4. 0 mg/L Nickel above 1. 0 mg/L Nitrite ion above 0. 8 mg/L BATTERY REPLACEMENT 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. Detach the battery from the terminals and attach a fresh 9V battery while paying attention to the correct polarity. [. . . ]
