The optical system of HI 83099 is based on special subminiature tungsten lamps and narrow-band interference filters to guarantee both high performance and reliable results.
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) cuvette are optically identical to provide the same measurement conditions.

TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT The instructions listed below should be carefully followed during testing to ensure most accurate results. • Color or suspended matter in large amounts may cause interference, and should be removed by treatment with active carbon and filtration: refere to Sample Preparation Chapter (page 17). •...
Page 9
• 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; (c) pour out the content of the packet. USING CUVETTES • Proper mixing is very important for reproducibility of the measurements. The right way of mixing a cuvette is specified for each method in the related chapter.
Page 10
• Pay attention to push the cuvette completely down in the holder and to align the white point on the cap to the indexing mark on the meter. • In order to avoid reagent leaking and to obtain more accurate measurements, close the cuvette first with the supplied HDPE plastic stopper and then the black cap.
HEALTH & SAFETY • The chemicals contained in the reagent kits may be hazardous if improperly handled. • Read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before performing tests. • Safety equipment: Wear suitable eye protection and clothing when required, and follow instructions carefully.
OPERATIONAL GUIDE POWER CONNECTION AND BATTERY MANAGEMENT The meter can be powered from an AC/DC adapter (included) or from the built-in rechargeable battery. Note: Always turn the meter off before unplugging it to ensure no data is lost. When the meter switches ON, it verifies if the power supply adapter is connected. The battery icon on the LCD will indicate the battery status: - battery is charging from external adapter - battery fully charged (meter connected to AC/DC adapter)
Page 13
• After the desired method is selected, follow the measurement described in the related section. • Before performing a test you should read all the instructions carefully. DATA MANAGEMENT The instrument features a data log function to help you keep track of all your analysis. The data log can hold 200 individual measurements.

SAMPLE PREPARATION SAMPLE PREPARATION PROCEDURE The following Sample Preparation Procedure applies in case of: • Samples with color or suspended matter (turbidity). • Concentrated samples, for which the analysis result is over the range of the parameter. Use the accessories contained in the Sample Preparation Kit to prepare the sample according to the following instructions.
Page 18
• Filter the treated sample into an empty beaker. The sample is now ready. • If the solution is still turbid or colored, treat it again with a packet of active carbon. After use, throw the filter disc away and wash the syringe and the filter assembly well. Always use a new disc for another sample.
