The HI 93713 meter measures phosphate (PO43­) content in water, wastewater and seawater in the 0. 00 to 2. 50 mg/L (ppm) range. The meter uses an exclusive positive-locking system to ensure that the cuvet is in the same place every time it is placed into the measurement cell. The amount of reagent is precisely dosed to ensure maximum repeatability. The meters have an auto-shut off feature that will turn the instrument off after 10 minutes of non-use. Light Emitting Diode @ 890 nm Adaptation of the ascorbic acid method. The reaction between phosphate and the reagent causes a blue tint in the sample Light Detector Silicon Photocell Environment 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F); max 95% RH non-condensing Battery Type/Life 1 x 9 volt/40 hours Auto-Shut off After 10' of non-use Dimensions 80 x 83 x 46 mm (7. 1 x 3. 3 x 1. 8") Weight 290 g (10 oz. ) V REQUIRED REAGENTS Code HI 93713-0 Description Powder reagent Quantity 1 packet REAGENT SETS HI 93713-01 Reagents for 100 tests HI 93713-03 Reagents for 300 tests Operational Guide MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE · Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF. ON OFF · Reinsert the cuvet into the instrument. Tips for an Accurate Measurement The instruction listed below should be carefully followed during testing to ensure best accuracy. · 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 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. [. . . ] 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. 9V · Replace the cap and shake gently.
