The HI 93728 meter measures the nitrate-nitrogen (NO3­N) content in water and wastewater in the 0. 0 to 30. 0 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 @ 555 nm Adaptation of the cadmium reduction method. The reaction between nitratenitrogen and the reagent causes an amber 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 180 x 83 x 46 mm (7. 1 x 3. 3 x 1. 8") Weight 290 g (10 oz. ).

OPERATIONAL GUIDE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE · Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF. · Add to the cuvet 6 mL of sample and replace the cap. ON OFF · Reinsert the cuvet into the instrument, taking care not to shake it. · Press READ TIMED and the display will show the countdown prior to the measurement or, alternatively, wait for 4 minutes and 30 seconds and press READ DIRECT. In both cases "SIP" will appear during measurement. 12 9 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 may become permanently stained. [. . . ] 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 Recommendations for Users Before using these products, make sure that they are entirely suitable for the environment in which they are used.
