MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

• Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.

• When the LCD displays "- - -", it is

ready.

• Fill the cuvet with sample up to

the 10 mL mark and replace

the cap.

• Place the cuvet into the holder

and ensure that the notch on

the cap is positioned securely

into the groove.

• Press ZERO and "SIP" will appear on the display.

• Wait for a few seconds and the

display will show "-0.0-". Now the

meter is zeroed and ready for mea-

surement.

• Remove the cuvet and add

the content of one packet of

HI 93721 reagent. Replace

the cap and agitate until

dissolution is complete.

• Reinsert the cuvet into the

instrument.

• Press READ TIMED and the display will show the count-

down prior to the measurement or, alternatively, wait

for 3 minutes and press READ DIRECT. In both cases

"SIP" will appear during measurement.

• The instrument directly displays concentration in mg/L of

iron on the Liquid Crystal Display.

INTERFERENCES

Interference may be caused by:

Molybdate Molybdenum above 50 ppm

Calcium above 10,000 ppm (as CaCO

)

Magnesium above 100,000 ppm (as CaCO

)

Chloride above 185,000 ppm.

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. This would corrupt the readings.

• It is possible to take multiple readings in a row, but it

is recommended that a zero reading be taken for each

sample and that the same cuvet is used for zeroing and

measurement.

• It is important to discard the sample immediately after

the reading is taken because the glass might become

permanently stained.

• Shaking the cuvet can generate bubbles in the sample,

causing higher readings. To obtain accurate measure-

ments, remove such bubbles by swirling or by gently

tapping the vial.

• 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).

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Battery replacement must only take place in a non-hazard-

ous 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.

Replace the battery and the cover.

Recommendations for Users

Before using these products, make sure that they are entirely suitable for the environ-

ment in which they are used.

Operation of these instruments in residential area could cause unacceptable interferences

to radio and TV equipments, requiring the operator to take all necessary steps to correct

interferences.

Any variation introduced by the user to the supplied equipment may degrade the

instruments' EMC performance.

To avoid damages or burns, do not perform any measurement in microwave ovens.
