PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION

The HI96735 is an auto diagnostic portable microprocessor meter that benefits from

Hanna Instruments’ years of experience as a manufacturer of analytical instruments. It has the

advanced optical system based on a special Light Emitting Diode (LED) 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 Instruments ready‑made, NIST traceable standards to verify the performance of

the instrument and recalibrate if necessary.

All instruments are splash proof and the LED 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 HI96735 meter measures the hardness content in water samples in the 0 to 750 mg/L (ppm)

range. The method is an adaptation of the EPA recommended method 130.1.

The reagent is in powder form, supplied in packets and in liquid form, supplied in bottles and in

dropper bottles. The amount of reagent is precisely dosed to ensure the maximum repeatability.

In a laboratory using a standard solution of the parameter and a representative lot of reagent (for

each parameter) the following standard deviations were obtained:

Precision is how closely repeated measurements

agree with each other. Precision is usually expressed

as standard deviation (SD).

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.

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

ε

λ= 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.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The optical system of Hanna Instruments’ HI96735 colorimeter is based on special subminiature

LED and narrow‑band interference filters to guarantee both high performance and reliable results.

HI96735 block diagram (optical layout)

A microprocessor controlled special LED 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.
