MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
• Select the Ammonia MR 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 ZERO key. The display will show “-0.0-” when the meter is
zeroed and ready for measurement.
AMMONIA MEDIUM RANGE
• Remove the cuvette.
• Add carefully the content of one packet of HI 93755-0 Alkalinity
Indicator Reagent. Replace the cap and shake vigorously for 30
seconds.
Note: Pay attention not to spill reagent otherwise full color
development may be inhibited.
• Replace the cuvette into the holder and close the lid.
• Press TIMER and the display will show the countdown prior to the
measurement or, alternatively, wait for 2 minutes and press READ. When the timer ends the meter will
perform the reading.
• The instrument displays the results in mg/L of alkalinity (CaCO
3
).
