GENERAL OPERATIONS 5.1. BATTERY REPLACEMENT To replace the batteries, follow the next steps: · Turn OFF the instrument. · Remove the three screws on the back of the instrument to open the battery compartment. · Remove the old battery. · Insert one new 9 V Alkaline battery in the battery compartment while paying attention to the correct polarity. · Close the battery compartment using the three screws. Note: If the battery percentage indicator is empty, the battery level is too low and the battery needs to be replaced. 8 GENERAL OPERATIONS 5.2. CONNECTING THE ELECTRODE Align the DIN connector's 8 pins with the socket and push in the plug. 5.3. TURNING THE METER ON Turn the instrument on by pressing the On/Off key. 5.4. SENSOR PREPARATION & CONDITIONING 1. Remove the protective cap 2. If the protective cap does not contain any liquid, pour HI70300 Storage solution into the cap. 3. Place it back on the sensor and soak for at least 30 minutes before use. 4. Rinse with tap water prior to Calibration or Measurement. 9 CALIBRATION 6. CALIBRATION 6.1. pH For high accuracy, frequent calibrations are recommended. Additionally, the pH range should be recalibrated: · Whenever the electrode is replaced · At least once a month · After testing aggressive chemicals Preparation Recommended pH calibration standard buffers: pH 4.01, pH 6.86 (NIST), pH 7.01, pH 9.18 (NIST), pH 10.01 Use pH 7.01 (HI7007) for neutral samples, pH 4.01(HI7004) for acidic samples, pH 10.01 (HI7010) for alkaline samples. Procedure 1. Connect the probe and turn the meter on. 2. Press the pH key to select pH measurement mode. 3. Remove the protective cap and rinse the probe. 4. Pour buffer solution into a clean beaker. 5. Immerse the tip of the probe 4 cm (1 1/2") in selected buffer and wait a few minutes for the measurement to stabilize. 6. Press the temperature key (°C) to measure buffer solution temperature. Take a note of the displayed value. 7. Rotate the calibration knob to adjust the pH value to match written buffer solution temperature. The pH calibration is now complete. (see pH VALUES AT VARIOUS TEMPERATURES section). Note: If, when rotating the knob, required value cannot be reached, the probe requires cleaning (see the PROBE MAINTENANCE section). If the issue still persists, the probe requires replacement. 10 CALIBRATION 6.2. EC / TDS Preparation Recommended EC calibration points: 1413 S/cm using HI70031 EC calibration solution or 1382 ppm using HI70032 TDS calibration solution. Calibrate the probe frequently for improved accuracy. Additionally, calibration should be performed: · Whenever the probe is replaced · After periodic maintenance Always use fresh calibration solutions and perform electrode maintenance prior to calibration (see PROBE MAINTENANCE section). Procedure 1. Pour calibration solution into clean beakers, sufficient to cover the sensing portion of the probe (4 cm / 1 1/2"). If possible, use plastic beakers to minimize any EMC interferences. For accurate calibration and to minimize cross-contamination, use two beakers, one for rinsing the probe and one for calibration. 2. Raise and lower the probe in the standard to ensure the entire cell area is filled with standard. 3. Shake any bubbles off the two electrodes (prongs). 4. Center probe in beaker away from beaker walls. 5. Press the S/cm (or ppm) key to select EC (or TDS) measurement mode. 6. Rotate the EC / TDS calibration knob until reading is displayed at 25 °C. EC/TDS Conversion Factor HI9811-51 has a fixed EC to TDS conversion factor set to 0.5, i.e. 1 S/ cm is equal to 0.5 ppm of TDS. 11 MEASUREMENT 7. MEASUREMENT 7.1. pH · Immerse the probe tip 4 cm (1 1/2") into the sample. · Press pH key to select pH measurement mode. · Stir briefly and wait a few minutes for the measurement to stabilize. Measured pH value is displayed on the screen. Dip probe in calibration solution and turn the knob for current temperature pH · If measurements are taken in different samples successively, rinse the probe thoroughly to minimize cross-contamination. After rinsing with water, rinse the probe with some of the sample to be measured next. 7.2. EC / TDS · Immerse the probe tip 4 cm (1 ½") into the sample. If possible, use plastic beakers to minimize any EMC interferences. · Tap the probe lightly on the bottom of the beaker to remove any air bubbles trapped inside. · Press the S/cm or ppm key to select EC or TDS measurement mode. or · Wait a few minutes. Displayed measured value (in S/cm or ppm) is temperature compensated automatically.

PROBE MAINTENANCE Periodic Maintenance Proper care and maintenance is essential for accurate readings. Cleaning, calibrating, and appropriate storage extends the life of the probe. · Inspect connector for corrosion and replace probe if necessary. · Inspect probe and cable for cracks or points of broken insulation. If any present replace the probe. · After use rinse the probe with tap water and dry it. · Monthly, a more thorough cleaning is advised. Clean the EC sensor with a non-abrasive, mild detergent. Cleaning & Conditioning pH portion · Remove the protective cap. · If the bulb and / or junction are dry, soak the electrode in HI70300 Storage solution for at least 30 minutes. To ensure a quick response time, the glass bulb and the junction should be kept moist and not allowed to dry. · Rinse the sensor in flowing water then clean by soaking it for 5 minutes in HI700661 Cleaning solution. · For particular impurities, clean by soaking the sensor for 1 minute in HI7073 Protein cleaning solution or HI7077 Oil and fat cleaning solution. After cleaning, soak the sensor in HI70300 Storage solution for 30 minutes before calibrating. EC portion · After every series of measurements, rinse the probe with tap water. · If a more thorough cleaning is required clean the sensor with a soft brush to loosen any debris. · Use a mild detergent to remove oily coatings. · Flush with purified water after cleaning. Notes: Recalibrate the meter after cleaning. If, after cleaning, the meter still can not be calibrated, replace the probe. For field applications, have a spare probe ready. When maintenance does not correct the issue, change the probe and recalibrate the meter. Storage · Store the sensor with a few drops of HI70300 Storage solution or pH 4.01 buffer in the protective cap. Tap water may also be used for a very short period (a few days). · Never use distilled or deionized water to store pH sensors. 15 ACCESSORIES 10.
