5. DESCRIPTION 5.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE HI97721 is an auto-diagnostic portable meter that benefits from Hanna’s years of experience as a manufacturer of analytical instruments. It has an advanced optical system that uses a Light Emitting Diode (LED) and a narrow band interference filter that allows for accurate and repeatable readings.
5.2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 1) ON/OFF power button 3) Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) 5) Indexing mark 2) Keypad 4) Cuvette holder 6) Battery cover Keypad Description The keypad contains 3 direct keys and 3 functional keys with the following functions: Press the functional keys to perform the function displayed above them on the LCD. Press and hold to power off/on.
5.3. PRECISION AND ACCURACY Precision is how closely repeated measurements are to one another. Precision is usually expressed as standard deviation (SD). Accuracy is defined as the closeness of a test result to the true value. Although good precision suggests good accuracy, precise results can be inaccurate.
5.5. OPTICAL SYSTEM Instrument Block Diagram The internal reference system (reference detector) of the HI97721 photometer compensates for any drifts due to power fluctuations or ambient temperature changes, providing a stable source of light for your blank (zero) measurement and sample measurement.
6. GENERAL OPERATIONS 6.1. METER VALIDATION: CAL CHECK/CALIBRATION Validation of the HI97721 involves verifying the concentration of the certified CAL Check standards. The CAL Check screen guides the user step-by-step through the validation process and user calibration (if necessary). WARNING: Do not use any solutions/standards other than the Hanna CAL Check ®...
6. When the CAL Check is complete the display will show one of the following messages and the value obtained during the measurement: - “PASSED“: The measured value is within the accuracy specification, no user calibration is required. - “OUT OF SPECIFICATION“ and the Calibration key is available: The measured value is near the expected value.

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 has been added. For best accuracy, respect the timings described in each specific method.
