HANNA LITERATURE PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION Hanna publishes a wide range of catalogs and handbooks for an equally wide range of applications. The reference literature currently covers areas such as: • Water Treatment • Process • Swimming Pools • Agriculture • Food • Laboratory and many others. New reference material is constantly being added to the library. For these and other catalogs, handbooks and leaflets contact your dealer or the Hanna Customer Service Center nearest to you.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION CE DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY The HI 83741 is an auto-diagnostic portable microprocessor meter that benefits from Hanna’s years of experience as a manufacturer of analytical instruments. It has an 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.
BATTERIES REPLACEMENT SPECIFICATIONS Battery replacement must only take place in a nonhazardous area. The blinking “ ” will appear when the batteries power gets low. When batteries are completely discharged, “0% bAtt” will appear and after two seconds the instrument is switched off. Remove the battery cover from the bottom of the instrument and change the old batteries with 4 fresh 1.5V batteries, paying attention to the correct polarity. Replace the cover.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION • Reinsert the cuvet into the instrument and close the lid. 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.
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.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION • Turn the instrument on by pressing ON/OFF. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) FRONT Lid Cuvet Holder Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) ON/OFF key, to turn the meter on and off ZERO key, to zero the meter TIMER key, to activate a countdown READ key, to perform measurement Power Socket 12V to 20V DC 2.5 Watt REAR • When the LCD displays “---”, it is ready. • Use the 1000 µL automatic pipette to add exactly 1 mL of wine sample to an empty cuvet.
• 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 (tissue for wiping cuvets, see chapter ACCESSORIES) or a lint-free cloth prior to insertion. GUIDE TO DISPLAY CODES This prompt appears for a few seconds each time the instrument is turned ON. • Do not let the reacted sample stand too long after reaction, or accuracy will be lost.
Indicates that the batteries are dead and must be replaced. After this message appears, the instrument is switched off. Change the batteries and restart the meter. ERROR MESSAGES The meter has lost its configuration. Contact your dealer or the nearest Hanna Customer Service Center. 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.
