Method For pH: Phenol red method. The reaction with reagents
causes a red tint in the sample.
For hardness: Adaptation of the
Standard Methods for the
Examination of Water and Wastewater, 18 th Edition, colo-
rimetric method. The reaction between Mg/Ca and reagents
causes a violet tint in the sample.
For Iron LR: Adaptation of the TPTZ method. The reaction
between iron and the reagent causes a violet tint in the
sample.

DISPLAY ELEMENTS DESCRIPTION:
Functional description:
1. The measuring scheme (lamp, cuvette, detector), appears during
different phases of zero or reading measurement
2. Error messages and warnings
3. The battery icon indicates the change state level of the battery
4. The hourglass appears when an internal check is in progress
5. Status messages
6. The chronometer appears when the reaction timer is running
7. The month, day and date icons appear when a date is displayed
8. Four digit main display
9. Measuring units
10. Four digit secondary display
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. Please check that the sample does
not contain any debris.
Errors and warnings:
ON ZERO READING:
ON SAMPLE READING:
DURING CALIBRATION PROCEDURE:
OTHER ERRORS AND WARNINGS:
Cap error: Appears when external light enters
in the analysis cell. Assure that the cuvette cap
is present.
Cooling lamp: The instrument waits for the
lamp to cool down.
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.
Standard Low: The standard reading is less
than expected.
Standard High: The standard reading is higher
than expected.
Inverted cuvettes: The sample and the zero
cuvette are inverted.
Zero: A zero reading was not taken. Follow the
instructions of the measurement procedure for
zeroing the meter.
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.
1• Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.
2• When the beeper sounds briefly and the LCD displays
dashes and “P1” (pH), “P2” (Total Hardness), “P3”
(Iron LR) the meter is ready. The code that appears on
the secondary display is the one of the last selected
parameter. If necessary, press RANGE/GLP/ to
change parameter. The blinking “ZERO” indicates
that the instrument needs to be zeroed first.
3• For pH: Fill the cuvette with 10 mL of unreacted sample,
up to the mark, and replace the cap.
For Total Hardness: Fill a graduated beaker up to
the 50mL mark with the sample. Add 0.5 mL of
HI 93719A-0 Calcium And Magnesium Reagent
indicator solution and mix. Add 0.5 mL of
HI 93719B-0 Alkali solution for Calcium and
Magnesium and mix. Fill three cuvettes with 10mL
of sample each. Add 1 drop of HI 93719C-0 EDTA
solution to one cuvette, replace the cap and swirl
the solution. This is the ZERO sample. Add 1 drop
of HI 93719D-0 EGTA solution to the second
cuvette, replace the cap and swirl the solution. This
is the READ1 sample.
For Iron LR: Fill one graduated mixing cylinder up
to the 25 mL mark with deionized water. Add the
content of one packet of HI 93746-0 reagent, close
the cylinder and shake well for 30 seconds. This is
the blank.
Fill a cuvette with 10 mL of the blank up to the
mark and replace the cap.
4• Place the cuvette into the holder and ensure that
the notch on the cap is positioned securely into the
groove.
5• Press ZERO/CFM and the lamp, cuvette and detector
icons will appear on the display, depending on the
measurement phase.
For Total Hardness: Place the ZERO sample into
the 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. After a few seconds the display will show
“-0.0-”
. Remove the ZERO sample and insert the
READ1 sample into the instrument. 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 30 seconds. The lamp, cuvette
and detector icons will appear on the display,
depending on the measurement phase, then the
instrument will display the level of Magnesium
hardness in mg/L CaCO
3 (togheter with “n”).
6• After a few seconds the display will show “-0.0-”.
The meter is now zeroed and ready for
measurement (except for Hardness).
7• Remove the cuvette.
8• Add the specific test reagent for each parameter:
pH: 5 drops of HI 93710-0, replace the cap and
swirl the solution: invert several times to mix.
Total hardness: the third cuvette (nothing is added)
Iron LR: Fill one graduated mixing cylinder up to
the 25 mL mark with the sample.
Add the content of one packet of HI 93746-0 reagent,
close the cylinder and shake well for 30 seconds.
Fill a cuvette with 10 mL of the reacted sample up
to the mark and replace the cap.
9• Replace the cuvette into the holder and ensure
that the notch on the cap is positioned securely into
the groove.
