- Page 4 Please examine this product carefully. Make sure that the instrument is not damaged. If any damage occurred during shipment, please contact your local Hanna Instruments Office. Each HI96771 Ion Selective Meter is supplied complete with: • Sample Cuvettes and Caps (2 pcs.) •...
- Page 5 HI96771 is an auto diagnostic portable microprocessor meter that benefits from Hanna Instruments’ years of experience as a 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.

- Page 7 Precision is how closely repeated measurements agree with each other. Precision is usually expressed as standard deviation (SD). Accuracy is defined as the nearness of a test result to the true value. Although good precision suggests good accuracy, precise results can be inaccurate. The figure explains these definitions.
- Page 8 The optical system of Hanna Instruments’ HI96 series colorimeter is based on special subminiature tungsten lamp and narrow‑band interference filters to guarantee both high performance and reliable results. HI96 series block diagram (optical layout) A microprocessor controlled special tungsten lamp emits radiation which is first optically conditioned and beamed to the sample contained in the cuvette.

- Page 11 The instrument shows clear messages when erroneous condition appears. Messages are also displayed when the obtained values are outside expected range. The beeper is playing a beep on errors. a) on zero reading Light High: There is too much light to perform a measurement. Please check the preparation of the zero cuvette.
- Page 12 c) during calibration procedure Standard Low: The standard reading is less than expected. Standard High: The standard reading is higher than expected. d) other errors and warnings Cap error: Appears when external light enters in the analysis cell. Assure that the cuvette cap is present. Cooling lamp: The instrument waits for the lamp to cool down.
- Page 13 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 cuvette: the liquid in the cuvette forms a concavity on the top; the bottom of this concavity must be at the same level of the 10 mL mark.
- Page 14 • Shaking the cuvette can generate bubbles in the sample, causing higher readings. To obtain accurate measurements, remove such bubbles by swirling or by gently tapping the cuvette. • Do not let the reacted sample stand too long after reagent is added, or accuracy will be lost. •...
- Page 15 HI96771 can measure Free Chlorine when range P1 is selected or Chlorine ULTRA HIGH RANGE when range P2 is selected. To change the active range follow the procedure: • Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF. The display briefly shows all tags on. •...
- Page 16 To compensate the meter for the sample turbidity or color, the measurement takes place in two phases. First, the meter is zeroed using the unreacted sample. After the reagents are added the reacted sample is measured. Important note: Chlorine ULTRA HIGH RANGE and Free Chlorine have to be measured separately with fresh unreacted samples if both values are requested.
- Page 17 • Press ZERO/CFM and the lamp, cuvette and detector icons will appear on the display, depending on the measurement phase. • After a few seconds, the display will show “-0.0-”. The meter is now zeroed and ready for measurement. • Remove the cuvette from the instrument. Remove the cap. •...
- Page 18 • Press and hold READ /TIMER for three seconds. The display will show the countdown prior to measurement. The beeper is playing a beep at the end of countdown period. 3” Alternatively, wait for 1 minute and just press READ /TIMER. In both cases, the lamp, cuvette and detector icons will appear on the display, depending on the measurement phase.
- Page 19 MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE FOR CHLORINE ULTRA HIGH RANGE (P2) • Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF. The display briefly shows all tags on. • When the beeper sounds briefly and the LCD displays dashes, the meter is ready. The blinking “ZERO”...
- Page 20 • Press ZERO/CFM and the lamp, cuvette and detector icons will appear on the display, depending on the measurement phase. • After a few seconds, the display will show “-0.0-”. The meter is now zeroed and ready for measurement. • Remove the cuvette from the instrument. Remove the cap. •...
- Page 21 • Replace the cuvette into the cuvette holder and ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned securely into the groove. • Press and hold READ /TIMER for three seconds. The display will show the countdown prior to measurement. The beeper is playing a beep at the end of countdown period. 3”...
- Page 22 Use the validation procedure to ensure that the instrument is properly calibrated. Warning: Do not validate the instrument with any standard solutions other than the Hanna Instruments CAL Check Standards, otherwise erroneous results will be obtained. For accurate validation, please perform test at room temperature: 18 to 25 °C (64.5 to 77.0 °F)
- Page 23 • After a few seconds, the display will show “-0.0-”. The meter is now zeroed and ready for validation. • Remove the cuvette. • Place the CAL Check Standard HI96771‑11 Cuvette B into the cuvette holder and ensure that the notch on the cap is positioned securely into the groove. •...
- Page 24 Note: It is possible to interrupt calibration procedure at any time by pressing CAL CHECK or ON/OFF keys. Warning: Do not calibrate the instrument with standard solutions other than the Hanna Instruments CAL Check™ Standards, otherwise erroneous results will be obtained. For accurate calibration, please perform test at room temperature: 18 to 25 °C (64.5 to 77.0 °F).
- Page 25 • Press ZERO/CFM and the lamp, cuvette and detector icons will appear on the display, depending on the measurement phase. • After a few seconds the display will show “-0.0-”. The meter is now zeroed and ready for calibration. The blinking “READ” asks for reading calibration standard. •...
- Page 26 • After measurement the instrument will show for three seconds the CAL Check Standard value. Note: If the display shows “STD HIGH”, the standard value was too high. If the display shows “STD LOW”, the standard value was too low. Verify that both CAL Check Standards HI96771-11 Cuvettes, A and B are free of fingerprints or dirt and that they are inserted correctly.
- Page 27 • Press RANGE/GLP to edit the desired month (01‑12). If the key is kept pressed, the month number is automatically increased. • When the correct month has been set, press ZERO/CFM or READ /TIMER to confirm. Now the display will show the day blinking. •...
- Page 28 In the GLP mode, the last user calibration date can be consulted and the factory calibration can be restored. LAST CALIBRATION DATE To display the calibration date: • Press and hold RANGE/GLP for three seconds to enter GLP mode. The calibration month and day will appear on the main display and the year on the secondary display.
- Page 29 • Press ZERO/CFM to restore the factory calibration or press RANGE/GLP again to abort factory calibration restore. • The instrument briefly notifies “donE” when restores factory calibration and returns to measurement mode. To save battery, the instrument shuts down after 10 minutes of non‑use in measurement mode and after 1 hour of non‑use in calibration mode.
- Page 30 To replace the instrument’s battery, follow the steps: • Turn the instrument off by pressing ON/OFF. • Turn the instrument upside down and remove the battery cover by turning it counterclockwise. • Extract the battery from its location and replace it with a fresh one. •...
