GENERAL DESCRIPTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION HI 96711 is an auto diagnostic portable microprocessor meter that benefits from Hanna’s years of experience as manufacturer of analytical instruments. It has an advanced optical system based on a special tungsten lamp and a narrow band interference filter that allows most accurate and repeatable readings.
Immediately after installation of the tags you can start collecting data. Use the Fast Tracker Ion Specific Meter to take measurement and memorize the test result by pressing the Log-on-Demand key. Then, the meter will ask for the tag identification. Simply touching the iButton with the ®...
The optical system of Hanna's HI 96 colorimeters series is based on special subminiature tungsten lamps and narrow-band interference filters to guarantee both high performance and reliable results.

A microprocessor controlled special tungsten lamp emits radiation which is first optically conditioned and beamed to the sample contained in the cuvet. The optical path is fixed by the diameter of the cuvet. Then the light is spectrally filtered to a narrow spectral bandwidth, to obtain a light beam of intensity I or I.

DISPLAY DESCRIPTION 1) Four digit main display. 2) Measurement unit. 3) Three and a half digit secondary display. 4) “TIME” and “DATE”: appear with time (hh:mm) and date (yyyy.mm.dd) presentation. 5) The hourglass icon: appears when the instrument is making an internal check-up. 6) Status information.
Light over range: the cuvet is not inserted correctly and an excess of ambient light is reaching the detector. If the cuvet is properly installed, then contact your dealer or the nearest Hanna Customer Service Center. The meter has lost its configuration. Contact your dealer or the nearest Hanna Customer Service Center.

“Error”: the concentration of the used calibration solution is not correct. Repeat the calibration procedure with the right standard solution, and verify it is not expired. If the calibration procedure fails again, contact your dealer or the nearest Hanna Customer Service Center. LOGGING MODE MESSAGES The blinking “READ TAG”...

Measurement date: year (yyyy), month (mm), day (dd). Measurement time: hour (hh) and minutes (mm). Delete the last record. The blinking “DEL” indicates that the last record will be deleted if the /DEL key is pressed. Note:To delete a record, a second confirmation is required. Delete all records.
GENERAL TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT GENERAL TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT GENERAL TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT GENERAL TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT GENERAL TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT The instructions listed below should be carefully followed during testing, to ensure best accuracy. •...
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE • Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF. When the LCD displays “----”, the meter is ready. On the secondary LCD “P1” or “P2” will appear, indicating that the free or total chlorine parameter is selected.

• Replace the cap and shake gently for 20 seconds (or 2 minutes in case of seawater analysis). • Replace the cuvet into the holder and ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned securely into the groove. • Hold READ/TIMER for three seconds. The display will show the hourglass blinking and the count- down prior to measurement.
V A L I D A T I O N P R O C E D U R E Use the validation procedure to ensure that the instrument is properly calibrated. Warning: Do not validate or calibrate the instrument with standard solutions other than Hanna CAL CHECK Standards, otherwise erroneous results will be obtained.
Note: It is possible to interrupt the calibration procedure by pressing CAL CHECK or ON/OFF. Warning: Do not validate or calibrate the instrument with standard solutions other than Hanna CAL CHECK™ Standards, otherwise erroneous results will be obtained. For accurate validation and calibration please perform test at room temperature, 18 to 25°C (64.5 to 77.0°F).

• Enter the calibration mode by holding the CAL CHECK key for three seconds. The date of the last calibration appears (e.g. 2004 05 23). “F.CAL” means that the factory calibration is selected. Note: At this moment it is possible to restore Factory Calibration (see instructions, page 20).
• The instrument will show for two seconds the CAL CHECK standard value and then “Stor” to confirm that the new calibration data has been accepted. The meter returns automatically to the measurement mode. Note: If the display shows “Err”, the calibration proce- dure failed.
