WARRANTY The HI 98193 is guaranteed for two years against defects in workmanship and materials when used for their intended purpose and maintained according to instructions. Electrodes and probes are guaranteed for six months. This warranty is limited to repair or replacement free of charge.
PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION Remove the instrument from the packing material and examine it carefully to make sure that no damage has occurred during shipping. If there is any damage, notify your Dealer or the nearest Hanna Customer Service Center. Each instrument is supplied with: •...
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HI 98193 is a state of art, microprocessor based, dissolved oxygen instrument with many automated and specific application features, designed to provide laboratory results and accuracy under harsh industrial conditions. All measurements are automatically compensated for temperature. Manual salinity compensation in water allows direct determination of dissolved oxygen in saline waters.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION FRONT VIEW 1) Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). 2) F1, F2, F3 functional keys. keys to manually increase/decrease the parameters or to scroll through the menu. 4) ON/OFF ( ) key, to turn the instrument ON and OFF. 5) LIGHT ( ) key, to toggle display backlighting. 6) GLP key, to display Good Laboratory Practice information.
OPERATIONAL GUIDE INITIAL PREPARATION The instrument is supplied complete with batteries. See Batteries Replacement for details, page 59. To prepare the instrument for field measurements close the USB communication socket and all unused connector sockets with proper stopper (to ensure waterproof protection). Connect the DO probe to the 7-pin connector.
SALINITY COMPENSATION If the sample contains significant concentration of salinity, the read out values must be corrected, taking into account the lower degree of oxygen solubility in this situation. Before taking any DO measurements remember to set the salinity value from the SETUP menu (page 30). The salinity affects the DO concentration, decreasing its value.
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION The dissolved oxygen saturation value varies with pressure, so it is important to compensate the effect that pressure has on DO measurements. i t l C ° F ° 6 . 4 1 . 4 6 . 3 1 .

The HI 98193 meter contains a built-in barometer, and it is able to automatically compensate for changes in barometric pressure. If another pressure value than the barometer’s reading is to be used, then the manual pressure feature must be enabled from the SETUP menu (see page 30), and afterwards the pressure value can be set using the ARROW keys.

BOD MEASUREMENTS Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is an indicator for the concentration of biodegradable organic matter present in a sample of water. It can be used to infer the general quality of the water and its degree of pollution. BOD measures the rate of oxygen uptake by microorganisms in a sample of water at a fixed temperature and over a given period of time.
Page 16
BOD Parameters: • Bottle ID: a number used to identify a specific bottle. Range: 0000 to 9999. • The type of the Sample: Sample or Seed. • Bottle Volume: the total volume of the BOD bottle. Range: 0.1 to 300.0 mL. •...

Press CFM to replace the selected records DO, temperature, pressure and salinity values with the current values. Press ESC to return to the previous screen without replacing. If the conditions regarding the time difference are met, after pressing the Eval.BOD key, the instrument will display the computed BOD value.

Seed Correction In case that the BOD was evaluated for a seeded sample and the list of the saved seed BOD values is not empty, the Correct functional key will be displayed. Press Correct to view the list of the saved seed BOD values. Select the desired seed BOD and then press Correct to compute the corrected BOD value.
OUR MEASUREMENT The OUR is used to determine the oxygen consumption or respiration rate in water. It is defined as the mg/L of oxygen consumed per hour. The following equation is used for OUR determination: where: =Dissolved oxygen level at start of test START =Dissolved oxygen level at end of test =Elapsed time of test in seconds...
Page 21
To end the OUR test before the maximum time interval set during OUR configuration press Stop. If Stop is pressed before the minimum time for the OUR test has elapsed, the instrument will display a warning message. Press Resume to continue the test or Stop to end the test. At the end of the test the meter will display the computed OUR value and the duration of the test.
SOUR MEASUREMENT The Specific Oxygen Uptake Rate (SOUR), also known as the oxygen consumption or respiration rate, is defined as the milligram of oxygen consumed per gram of volatile suspended solids (VSS) per hour. This quick test has many advantages: rapid measure of influent organic load and biodegradability, indication of the presence of toxic or inhibitory wastes, degree of stability and condition of a sample, and calculation of oxygen demand rates at various points in the aeration basin.
Page 23
If the minimum start DO condition is met the instrument will display the instantaneous specific oxygen consumption rate and the amount of time that has passed from the beginning of the test. In case that the SOUR value is corrected to 20 °C (68 °F) and the measured temperature isn’t in the range 10 to 30 °C the temperature value will blink to alert that the temperature correction isn’t valid.
Page 24
Press Start to begin a new SOUR test. Notes: • If the DO reading is less than the minimum end DO value set during SOUR configuration, a warning message will be displayed. Press any key to clear the message from the screen, or press HELP to view detailed information about the warning.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT The DO probe has a built-in temperature sensor. The measured temperature is indicated on the display. Allow the probe to reach thermal equilibrium before taking any measurements. This can take several minutes. The greater the difference between the temperature at which the probe was stored and the temperature of the sample, the longer the time will be.
Page 26
The DO calibration screen will be displayed and the standard 0% saturation (or 0 mg/L, depending on the currently selected measuring unit), will be automatically selected. The hourglass icon will be shown on the display until the reading becomes stable. When the reading is stable and within range of the selected standard, the CFM functional key is displayed.
