PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION Please examine this product carefully. Make sure that the instrument is not damaged. If any damage occurred during shipment, please notify your Dealer.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HI 96702 is an auto diagnostic portable microprocessor meter that benefits from Hanna’s years of experience as a manufacturer of analytical instruments. It has the 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 and the electronic and optical design minimizes the need of frequent calibration.
SPECIFICATIONS Range Resolution Accuracy Typical EMC Deviation Light Source Light Detector Method Environment Battery Type Auto-Shut off Dimensions Weight REQUIRED REAGENTS Code HI 93702-0 0.00 to 5.00 mg/L 0.01 mg/L ±0.02 mg/L ±4% of reading @ 25°C ±0.01 mg/L Tungsten lamp Silicon Photocell with narrow band interference filter @ 575nm Adaptation of EPA approved method. The reaction between copper and the bicinchoninate reagent causes a purple tint in the sample.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION 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 cuvette. The optical path is fixed by the diameter of the cuvette. 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.
KEYPAD DESCRIPTION • ON/OFF: to turn the meter on and off. • ZERO/CFM: this is a bi-functional key. Just press to zero the meter prior to measurement, or to confirm edited values. In calibration mode press to confirm factory calibration restore. • READ/ /TIMER: this is a multi-functional key. In measurement mode, press to make a measurement, or press and hold for three seconds to start a pre-programmed countdown prior to measurement. In GLP mode press to view the next screen.
ERRORS AND WARNINGS The instrument shows clear messages when erroneous condition appears. Messages are also displayed when the obtained values are outside expected range. The beeper is playing a beep on errors. a) 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.
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 re-run the test. c) during calibration procedure Standard Low: The standard reading is less than expected.
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. GENERAL TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT The instructions listed below should be carefully followed during testing to ensure best accuracy.
• Whenever the cuvette 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 or a lint-free cloth prior to insertion. • Shaking the cuvette can generate bubbles in the sample, causing higher readings. To obtain accurate measurements, remove such bubbles by swirling or by gently tapping the cuvette. • Do not let the reacted sample stand too long after reagent is added, or accuracy will be lost.
• When the beeper sounds briefly and the LCD displays dashes, the meter is ready. The blinking “ZERO” indicates that the instrument needs to be zeroed first. • Fill the cuvette with 10 mL of unreacted sample, up to the mark, and replace the cap. • Place the cuvette into the cuvette holder and ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned securely into the groove. • Press ZERO/CFM and the lamp, cuvette and detector icons will appear on the display, depending on the measurement phase.
• Remove the cuvette. • Add the content of one packet of HI 93702-0 reagent. Replace the cap and shake gently. • Replace the cuvette into the cuvette holder and ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned securely into the groove. • 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 45 seconds then just press READ/ /TIMER.
VALIDATION PROCEDURE Use the validation procedure to ensure that the instrument is properly calibrated. Warning: Do not validate the instrument with any standard solutions other than the HANNA CAL CHECK™ Standards, otherwise erroneous results will be obtained. • Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF. • When the beeper sounds briefly and the LCD displays dashes, the meter is ready.
• Remove the cuvette. • Place the CAL CHECK™ Standard HI 96702-11 Cuvette B into the cuvette holder and ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned securely into the groove. • Press CAL CHECK and the lamp, cuvette and detector icons together with “CAL CHECK” will appear on the display, depending on the measurement phase. • At the end of the measurement the display will show the validation standard value. The reading should be within specifications as reported in the CAL CHECK™ Standard Certificate.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE Note: It is possible to interrupt calibration procedure at any time by pressing CAL CHECK or ON/OFF keys. Warning: Do not calibrate the instrument with standard solutions other than the HANNA CAL CHECK™ Standards, otherwise erroneous results will be obtained. • Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF. • When the beeper sounds briefly and the LCD displays dashes, the meter is ready. • Press and hold CAL CHECK for three seconds to enter calibration mode.
• 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. • Remove the cuvette. • Place the CAL CHECK™ Standard HI 96702-11 Cuvette B into the cuvette holder and ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned securely into the groove. • Press READ/ /TIMER and the lamp, cuvette and detector icons will appear on the display, depending on the measurement phase.
DATE INPUT • Press GLP/ to edit the desired year (2009-2099). If the key is kept pressed, the year number is automatically increased. • When the correct year has been set, press ZERO/CFM or READ/ /TIMER to confirm. Now the display will show the month blinking. or • Press GLP/ to edit the desired month (01-12). If the key is kept pressed, the month number is automatically increased. • When the correct month has been set, press ZERO/CFM or READ/ /TIMER to confirm. Now the display will show the day blinking.
GLP In the GLP mode, the last user calibration date can be verified and the factory calibration can be restored. LAST CALIBRATION DATE To display the calibration date: • Press GLP/ to enter GLP mode. The calibration month and day will appear on the main display and the year on the secondary display. • If no calibration was performed, the factory calibration message, “F.CAL” will appear on the main display and the instrument returns to measurement mode after three seconds.
• Press ZERO/CFM to restore the factory calibration or press GLP/ again to abort factory calibration restore. • The instrument briefly indicates “donE” upon restoration of factory calibration prior to returning to measurement mode. BATTERY MANAGEMENT To save battery, the instrument shuts down after 10 minutes of non-use in measurement mode and after 1 hour of non-use in calibration mode. If a valid measurement was displayed before auto-shut off, the value is displayed when the instrument is switched on.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT To replace the instrument’s battery, follow the steps: • Turn the instrument off by pressing ON/OFF. • Turn the instrument upside down and remove the battery cover by turning it counterclockwise. • Extract the battery from its location and replace it with a fresh one. • Insert back the battery cover and turn it clockwise to close.
