GENERAL DESCRIPTION

ABBREVIATIONS

The HI 96721 is an auto diagnostic portable microprocessor meter that benefits from Hanna’s

years of experience as a manufacturer of analytical instruments. It has the advanced optical

system based on a special tungsten lamp and a narrow band interference filter that allows most

accurate and repeatable readings. All instruments are factory calibrated and the electronic and

optical design minimizes the need of frequent calibration.

With the powerful CAL CHECKTM validation function, you are able to validate good performance

of your instrument at any time. The validation procedure is extremely user friendly. Just use the

exclusive HANNA ready-made, NIST traceable standards to verify the performance of the

instrument and recalibrate if necessary.

All instruments are splash waterproof and the lamp and filter units are protected from dust or dirt

by a transparent cup. This makes the instruments fulfill field applications. Display messages aid

the user in routine operation. The meter has an auto-shut off feature that will turn off the

instrument after 10 minutes of non use in

measurement mode

or after 1 hour if left in

calibration mode

The meter uses an exclusive positive-locking system to ensure that the cuvette is in the same

position every time it is placed into the measurement cell. It is designed to fit a cuvette with a

larger neck making it easier to add both sample and reagents. The cuvette is made from special

optical glass to obtain best results.

The HI 96721 meter measures total iron (Fe) content in water samples in the 0.00 to 5.00 mg/L

(ppm) range. The method is an adaptation of the USEPA Method 315B for natural and treated

waters, and Standard Method 3500-Fe B for water and wastewater.

The reagent contains both a reducing and a complexing agent: the first converts all but very most

resistant forms of iron present in the sample to the ferrous (Fe2+) or soluble state; the second

reacts with the ferrous iron to form the characteristic orange-colored complex.

The reagent is in powder form and is supplied in packets. The amount of reagent is precisely

dosed to ensure the maximum repeatability.

PrecisionPrecision

Precision is how closely repeated measurements

agree with each other. Precision is usually

expressed as standard deviation (SD).

AccuracyAccuracy

Accuracy is defined as the nearness of a test

result to the true value.

Although good precision suggests good accuracy,

precise results can be inaccurate. The figure

explains these definitions.

In a laboratory using a standard solution of 1.50

mg/L Iron and a representative lot of reagent, an

operator obtained with a single instrument a

standard deviation of 0.010 mg/L.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Absorption of Light is a typical phenomenon of interaction between electromagnetic radiation and

matter. When a light beam crosses a substance, some of the radiation may be absorbed by

atoms, molecules or crystal lattices.

If pure absorption occurs, the fraction of light absorbed depends both on the optical path length

through the matter and on the physical-chemical characteristics of the substance according to the

Lambert-Beer Law:

-log I/Io= ελc d

A = ελc d

Where:

-log I/Io=Absorbance (A)

Io=intensity of incident light beam

I=intensity of light beam after absorption

ελ=molar extinction coefficient at wavelength λ

c=molar concentration of the substance

d=optical path through the substance

Therefore, the concentration "c" can be calculated from the absorbance of the substance as the

other factors are known.

Photometric chemical analysis is based on the possibility to develop an absorbing compound

from a specific chemical reaction between sample and reagents. Given that the absorption of a

compound strictly depends on the wavelength of the incident light beam, a narrow spectral

bandwidth should be selected as well as a proper central wavelength to optimize measurements.

The optical system of Hanna's HI 96 series colorimeters is based on special subminiature

tungsten lamps and narrow-band interference filters to guarantee both high performance and

reliable results.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

A microprocessor controlled special tungsten lamp emits radiation which is first optically

conditioned and beamed to the sample contained in the cuvette. The optical path is fixed by the

diameter of the cuvette. Then the light is spectrally filtered to a narrow spectral bandwidth, to

obtain a light beam of intensity Ioor I.

The photoelectric cell collects the radiation Ithat is not absorbed by the sample and converts

it into an electric current, producing a potential in the mV range.

The microprocessor uses this potential to convert the incoming value into the desired measuring

unit and to display it on the LCD.

The measurement process is carried out in two phases: first the meter is zeroed and then the

actual measurement is performed.

The cuvette has a very important role because it is an optical element and thus requires

particular attention. It is important that both, the measurement and the calibration (zeroing)

cuvettes, are optically identical to provide the same measurement conditions. Whenever possible

use the same cuvette for both. It is necessary that the surface of the cuvette is clean and not

scratched. This to avoid measurement interference due to unwanted reflection and absorption of

light. It is recommended not to touch the cuvette walls with hands.

Furthermore, in order to maintain the same conditions during the zeroing and the measuring

phases, it is necessary to close the cuvette to prevent any contamination.

ERRORS AND WARNINGS

The instrument shows clear messages when erroneous condition appears. Messages are also displayed

when the obtained values are outside expected range. The beeper is playing a beep on errors.

a) on zero reading

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.

b) on sample reading

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.

c) during calibration procedure

Standard Low: The standard reading is less than expected.

Standard High: The standard reading is higher than expected.

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.

d) other errors and warnings
