GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Recommendations for Users

Before using these products, make sure that they are entirely suitable for the environment in which

they are used.

Operation of these instruments in residential area could cause unacceptable interferences to radio

and TV equipments, requiring the operator to take all necessary steps to correct interferences.

Any variation introduced by the user to the supplied equipment may degrade the instruments' EMC

performance.

To avoid damages or burns, do not perform any measurement in microwave ovens.

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, mol-

ecules 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 physico-

chemical characteristics of substance according to the Lambert-Beer

Law:

-log

ελc d

A ελc d

Where:

-log

=Absorbance (A)

=intensity of incident light beam

=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.

SPECIFICATIONS

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

All Hanna Instruments meters are warranted for two years against

defects in workmanship and materials when used for their intended

purpose and maintained according to instructions.

This warranty is limited to repair or replacement free of charge.

Damages due to accidents, misuse, tampering or lack of prescribed

maintenance are not covered.

If service is required, contact the dealer from whom you purchased the

instrument. If under warranty, report the model number, date of

purchase, serial number and the nature of the failure. If the repair is

not covered by the warranty, you will be notified of the charges

incurred.

If the instrument is to be returned to Hanna Instruments, first obtain a

Returned Goods Authorization Number from the Customer Service

department and then send it with shipment costs prepaid. When

shipping any instrument, make sure it is properly packaged for com-

plete protection.

To validate your warranty, fill out and return the enclosed warranty

card within 14 days from the date of purchase.

Hanna Instruments reserves the right to modify the design, construc-

tion and appearance of its products without advance notice.

WARRANTY

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 83000 multiparameter photometers

is based on special subminiature tungsten lamps and narrow-band

interference filters to guarantee both high performance and reliable

results.

Four measuring channels (at four different wavelengths) allow a wide

range of tests.

HI 83000 Block diagram (optical layout)

A microprocessor controlled special tungsten lamp emits radiation

which is first optically conditioned and beamed to the sample con-

tained in the cuvet. The optical path is fixed by the diameter of the

cuvet. Then the light is spectrally filtered to a narrow spectral band-

width, to obtain a light beam of intensity

oor

The photoelectric cell collects the radiation

that is not absorbed by

the sample and converts it into an electric current, producing a poten-

tial 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 cuvet 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) cuvets are optically identi-

cal to provide the same measurement conditions. Whenever possible

use the same cuvet for both.

It is also necessary that the surface of the cuvet is clean and not

scratched. This is to avoid measurement interference due to unwanted

reflection and absorption of light. It is recommended not to touch the

cuvet walls with hands.

Furthermore, 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.

Besides to the 12 VDC supply, this meter can also be fed by two 9V

batteries.

To prolong battery life, switch your meter off after use. However, the

meter has an auto-shut off feature that will turn itself off after 10

minutes of non-use.

A blinking "LOBAT" on the display, while a

measurement is in progress, indicates low

voltage and the batteries should be replaced.

If the batteries are not replaced immedi-

ately, in order to prevent erroneous readings

due to low voltage, "-BA-" is displayed soon

afterwards. At this point the batteries must

be changed.

Battery replacement must only take place in a non-hazardous area

using two 9V alkaline batteries.

Remove the battery cover on the back of photometer, attach two fresh

9V batteries, while paying attention to the correct polarity, and

replace the cover.

The meter will turn on automatically when a new battery is connected.

You can turn it off by pressing ON/OFF.

INTERFACE WITH PC

A zero reading was not taken. Follow the

instruction described in the measurement

procedures for zeroing the meter.

Under range. A blinking "0.00" indicates

that the sample absorbs less light than the

zero reference. Check the procedure and

make sure that you use the same cuvet for

reference (zero) and measurement.

1) A flashing value of the maximum con-

centration indicates an over range condi-

tion. The concentration of the sample is

beyond the programmed range: dilute the

sample and rerun the test.

2) A flashing value lower than the maxi-

mum concentration indicates a low signal-

to-noise ratio condition. In this case accu-

racy of the result is not guaranteed. Repeat

the reading procedure.

The sample and zero cuvet are inverted.

b) on sample reading:

There is too much light for the sample

measurement. Please check if the right

sample cuvet is inserted.

•Press ZERO and “SIP” will appear on the display.

•Wait for a few seconds and the display will

show “-0.0-”. Now the meter is zeroed

and ready for measurement.

•Remove the cuvet and add

the content of one packet

of HI 93750B reagent. Re-

place the cap and mix

gently for one minute by

turning slowly the cuvet up-

side down.

•Reinsert the cuvet into the instrument.

•Press TIMER and the display will show the countdown prior to the

measurement or, alternatively, wait for 2 minutes and press READ

DIRECT. In both cases “SIP” will blink during measurement.

•The instrument directly displays concentration in mg/L (ppm) of

potassium (K).

•To convert the reading to mg/L of potassium oxide (K2O), multiply

by a factor of 1.20.

•For ULTRA HIGH RANGE samples: follow procedure described at

page 45.

INTERFERENCES

The following ions do not interfere below the concentrations reported:

Ammonium 10 ppm Calcium 10000 ppm as CaCO3

Chloride 12000 ppm Magnesium 8000 ppm as CaCO3

Sodium 8000 ppm

Potassium HR

The instructions listed below should be carefully followed during testing

to ensure best accuracy.

•Color or suspended matter in large amounts may cause interference,

therefore, these should be removed by treatment with active carbon

and by prior filtration.

•For a correct filling of the cuvet: the liquid

in the cuvet forms a convexity on the top;

the bottom of this convexity must be at

the same level of the 10 mL mark.

•Proper use of the dropper: to get good re-

producible results, tap the dropper on the

table for several times and wipe the outside

of the dropper tip with a cloth. Always keep

the dropper bottle in a vertical position while

dosing the reagent.

•Proper use of the powder reagent packet:

(a) use scissors to open the powder packet;

(b) push the edges of the packet to form a spout;

•It is important that the sample does not contain any debris. This

would corrupt the readings.

•Do not let the reacted sample stand too long after reagent is

added, or accuracy will be lost.

•In order to avoid reagent leaking and to obtain more

accurate measurements, it is recommended to close

the cuvet first with the supplied HDPE

plastic stopper and then with the black cap.

•Each time the cuvet is used, the cap must be tightened

to the same degree.
