MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
• Select the program number corresponding to Hardness Ca on the
secondary LCD by pressing PROGRAM W and V.
• Rinse a graduated beaker
several times with unreacted
sample, before filling it to
the 50 mL mark with the
sample.
• Add 0.5 mL of HI 93720A Calcium
indicator solution and swirl to mix.
• Add 0.5 mL of
HI 93720B Alkali solu-
tion and swirl to mix.
Use this solution to rinse
2 cuvets before filling
them up to the 10 mL
