HI 93741
Total Hardness & Iron LR
The HI 93741 meter measures the Iron (Fe) content and the Magne-
sium (Mg), Calcium (Ca) and Total Hardness in water and wastewater.
SPECIFICATIONS
Range Fe 0 to 400 µg/L
Mg Hardness 0.00 to 2.00 mg/L
Ca Hardness 0.00 to 2.70 mg/L
Total Hardness 0.00 to 4.70 mg/L
Resolution Fe 1 µg/L
Hardness 0.01 mg/L
Accuracy Fe ±10 µg/L ±8% of reading
Hardness ±0.11 mg/L ±5% of reading
Typical EMC Fe ±1 µg/L
Deviation Hardness ±0.02 mg/L
Light Source Light Emitting Diode @ 555 nm
Method For Iron, Adaptation of the TPTZ Method. The
reaction between iron and the reagent causes a
blue tint in the sample.
For Hardness, adaptation of the Standard Meth-
ods for the Examination of Water and
Wastewater, 18
th
edition, Calmagite/colorimet-
ric method. The reaction between hardness and
reagents causes a maroon tint in the sample.

• Nothing is added to the third cuvet.
• Place the ZERO1 sample into the holder
and ensure that the notch on the cap
is positioned securely into the groove.
• Press ZERO; "SIP" will appear during measurement, then the
instrument will display "ZER2".
• Remove the ZERO1 sample and insert
the ZERO2 sample into the instru-
ment.
• Press ZERO again; "SIP" will appear during measurement, then
the instrument will display the level of Magnesium hardness in
ppm CaCO
3
(together with "n").
• Remove the ZERO2 sample and insert
the third cuvet into the instrument.
• Press READ; "SIP" will appear during measurement, then the
instrument will display the concentration of Calcium in ppm CaCO
3
(together with "C").
• Press READ again; "SIP" will appear during measurement and
the instrument will display the total hardness concentration in
ppm CaCO
