Display
The titrators have a 7.5 graphical backlit color display. The Standby Mode screen is shown
below with short explanations.
The user interface contains several screens. In each screen, many information fields are present
at the same time. The information is displayed in an easy-to-read manner, using different size
fonts.
Virtual option keys describe the function performed when the corresponding soft key is pressed.

METHODS
The HI 903 Karl Fischer titrator can store up to 100 methods: These include up to 90
standard methods.
Standard Methods
Each titrator is supplied with a customized package of standard methods. Standard method
packs are developed at Hanna Instruments laboratories to meet analysis requirements of
specific industries.
User-Defined Methods
User-defined methods allow the user to create and save their own methods. Each new
method is typically based on an existing method which is altered to suit a specific application.
Enter the number of burette rinses. At least 3 rinses with the solution used for
titration are recommended (allowing air bubbles to be evacuated).
Press
to start.
Carefully wipe the end of the dispensing tube to remove excess titrant.
Insert the dispensing tube in the corresponding hole of the titration beaker and
screw the fitting to seal the beaker.

keys and
Push and hold the FILL button located on the top of the air pump.
Wait until the beaker is filled up to the MIN marker with solvent.
Stop the air pump by pressing
solvent in the beaker.
Note: When adding samples using the weighing boat, pipette or syringe without needle, the
septum has to be removed. Therefore the adding operation should be performed quickly in
order to avoid the prolonged exposure of the beaker to atmospheric moisture.
Performing a Titration
From the main screen press
for analyzing a sample or
for titrant standardization. You will be prompted to enter the analyte size. Add a prepared sample
according to a preparation method outlined above. Enter the analyte size and press
or
. The titrator will start the analysis according to the selected method.
At the end of the titration, the message Titration Completed will appear on the
titration status, together with the final concentration of the moisture in the sample,
the end point volume, and other relevant information. The titrator re-enters Standby
mode (if active) in the background.

When the titration has ended, the titrator will display the final concentration of the moisture
together with the basic titration information.
