PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HI 93728 meter measures the nitrate-nitrogen (NO

L (ppm) range.
L (ppm) range.
The meter uses an exclusive positive-locking system to ensure
that the cuvet is in the same place every time it is placed
into the measurement cell.
that the cuvet is in the same place every time it is placed
into the measurement cell.
The reagents are in powder form and are supplied in
packets. The amount of reagent is precisely dosed to ensure
maximum repeatability.

A zero reading was not taken. Insert a
sample before adding reagent and press
ZERO.
Under range. A blinking "0.00" indicates
that the sample absorbs less light than
the zero reference. Check the procedure
and make sure you use the same cuvet
for reference (zero) and measurement.
Over range. A flashing value higher than
the maximum concentration readable (see
specifications) indicates that the sample
absorbs too much light, meaning that
the concentration is too high. Dilute the
sample.
Light over range. The cuvet is not inserted
correctly and an excess ambient light is
reaching the detector. If the cover is
properly installed, then contact your dealer
or the nearest Hanna Customer Service
Center.
Light under range. The zero sample is
too dark for proper zeroing. If this is not
the case, contact your dealer or the
nearest Hanna Customer Service Center.
The "V" indicates that the battery voltage
is getting low and the battery needs to
