OPERATIONAL GUIDE

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

• Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.

Note: for best results perform your tests between 20-24 C.
• When the LCD displays "- - -", it is

ready.

• Fill one cuvet up to 1.5 cm (¾")

below the rim with 10 mL of deion-
ized water.

• Fill a second cuvet up to 1.5 cm (¾")

below the rim with 10 mL of sample.

• Add the content of one packet of

HI 93748A ascorbic acid to each
cuvet, replace the caps and shake
gently.

• Add 0.2 mL of the HI

93748B alkaline-cya-
nide reagent solution to
each cuvet, replace the
caps and shake gen-
tly.

• Add 1 mL of the HI

93748C 0.1% PAN in-
dicator solution to each
cuvet, replace the caps
and shake gently.

• Place the cuvet with the re-

acted deionized water (blank)
into the holder and ensure
that the notch on the cap is
positioned securely into the
groove.

1.5 cm

• Press READ TIMED and the display will show the count-

down prior to zeroing the blank. Alternatively wait for 2
minutes and press ZERO. In both cases "SIP" will
appear during zeroing.

• Wait for a few seconds and the dis-

play will show "-0.0-". Now the meter
is zeroed and ready for measure-
ment.

• Insert the second cuvet with

the reacted sample into the
instrument.

• Press READ DIRECT. "SIP" will appear during measure-

ment.

• The instrument directly displays concentration in µg/L of

manganese on the display.

Note: a temperature above 30 C may cause turbidity. In

this case, before zeroing and taking readings, add
2-3 drops of Dispersing Agent (HI93703-51) to each
cuvet and swirl until complete dissolution of the
turbidity.

INTERFERENCES

Interference may be caused by:
Aluminum above 20 mg/L
Cadmium above 10 mg/L
Calcium above 200 mg/L as CaCO

Cobalt above 20 mg/L
Copper above 50 mg/L
Iron above 10 mg/L
Lead above 0.5 mg/L
Magnesium above 100 mg/L as CaCO

Nickel above 40 mg/L
Zinc above 15 mg/L.

The instruction listed below should be carefully followed
during testing to ensure best accuracy.
• Do not touch the cuvet walls with hands.
• In order to maintain the same conditions during the

zeroing and the measuring phases, it is necessary to
close the cuvet to prevent any contamination.

• Do not let the test sample stand too long after reagent

is added or accuracy will be lost.

• Whenever the cuvet is placed into the measurement cell,

it must be completely free of fingerprints, oil or dirt.
Wipe it thoroughly with

HI 731318 or a lint-free cloth

prior to insertion.

• It is important that the sample does not contain any

debris. This would corrupt the readings.

• It is possible to take multiple readings in a row, but it

is recommended that a zero reading be taken for each
sample and that the same cuvet is used for zeroing and
measurement.

• It is important to discard the sample immediately after

the reading is taken because the glass might become
permanently stained.

• Shaking the cuvet can generate bubbles in the sample,

causing higher readings. To obtain accurate measure-
ments, remove such bubbles by swirling or by gently
tapping the vial.

• All the reaction times reported in this manual are

referred to 20 C (68 F). As a general rule of thumb,
they should be doubled at 10 C (50 F) and halved at
30 C (86 F).

TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE

MEASUREMENT

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Battery replacement must only take place in a non-hazard-
ous area using a 9V alkaline battery.
Simply slide off the battery cover on the back of the meter.
Detach the battery from the terminals and attach a fresh
9V battery while paying attention to the correct polarity.
Replace the battery and the cover.
