Functional description
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.
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 “0.0” 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.
Standard Low: The standard reading is less
than expected.
Standard High: The standard reading is higher
than expected.
Errors and warnings
Measurement procedure
1• Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.
2• 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.
3• Fill the cuvette with 10 mL of unreacted
sample, 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.
6• After a few seconds the display will show
“-0.0-”. The meter is now zeroed and
ready for measurement.
7• Remove the cuvette.
8• Add 10 drops of HI 93706A-0 Phosphorus
Reagent A to the cuvette.
9• Add the content of one packet of
HI 93706B-0 Phosphorus Reagent B to
the cuvette.
10•Replace the cap and shake gently until
dissolution in complete.
11•Replace the cuvette into the holder and
ensure that the notch on the cap is
positioned securely into the groove.
12•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 5 minutes and just
press READ/ /TIMER.
In both cases, the lamp, cuvette and
detector icons will appear on the display,
depending on the measurement phase.
13•The instrument directly displays concentration
in mg/L of phosphorus on the LCD.
