• Reinsert the cuvette into the instrument.
• Press Timer and the display will show the countdown prior to the measurement or, alternatively, wait
for 6 minutes and press Read. When the timer ends the meter will perform the reading. The
instrument displays concentration in µµµµµ g/L of chromium VI.
• Press ▲ or ▼ to access the second level functions.
• Press the
Chem Frm key to convert the result in µ g/L of Chromate (CrO

• Press ▲ or ▼ to return to the measurement screen.
INTERFERENCES
Interference may be caused by:
Vanadium above 1 ppm. However, waiting 10 minutes before reading, the interference is removed
Iron above 1 ppm
Mercurous and mercuric ions cause slight inhibition of the reaction.
Chromium VI HR Chromium VI HR
CHROMIUM VI HIGH RANGE
SPECIFICATIONS
Range 0 to 1000 µ g/L
Resolution 1 µ g/L
Accuracy ±5 µ g/L ±4% of reading at 25 °C
Typical EMC ±1 µ g/L
Deviation
Light Source
Tungsten lamp with narrow band interference filter @ 525 nm
Method Adaptation of the ASTM Manual of Water and Environmental Technology, D1687-92,
Diphenylcarbohydrazide method. The reaction between chromium VI and the reagent
causes a purple tint in the sample.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
• Select the Chromium VI HR method using the procedure described in
the Method Selection section (see page 12).
• Fill the cuvette with 10 mL of unreacted sample (up to the mark) and
replace the cap.
• Place the cuvette into the holder and close the lid.
• Press the Zero key. The meter will show “-0.0-” when the meter is zeroed and ready for measurement.
• Remove the cuvette and add the content of one packet of
HI 93723-0 reagent. Replace the cap and shake vigorously
for about 10 seconds.
