Installation C A U T I O N Multiple hazards. Only qualified personnel must conduct the tasks described in this section of the document. Connect to AC power D A N G E R Electrocution Hazard. AC power outlets in wet or potentially wet locations MUST ALWAYS be provided with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupting (GFCI/GFI) circuit breaker.
The meter can be powered with AA alkaline or rechargeable NiMH batteries. To conserve battery life, the meter will power off after 5 minutes of inactivity. This time can be changed in the Display Options menu. For battery installation refer to Figure 1.
Display description Measurement screen The meter display shows the concentration, units, temperature, calibration status, operator ID, sample ID, date and time (Figure Figure 6 Single screen display 1 Calibration status indicator 9 Time 2 Main measurement value and unit 10 Date 3 IntelliCAL probe type and port indicator 11 Read (OK, Select) 4 Battery status...
4 Main measurement value 8 Stability or display lock indicator Dual-screen mode (HQ440d model only) When two probes are connected to the HQ440d meter, the display can show the reading from both probes simultaneously or show just one probe (Figure Note: For probe calibration, change the screen mode to the single screen mode.
1. Select an option from a list: Use the keys to select an option. If check boxes are shown, more than one option can be selected. Push the LEFT key under Select. Note: To deselect check boxes, push the LEFT key under Deselect. 2.
Connect a probe 1. Make sure that the display shows the current time and date. Note: The time stamp for a probe is set when the probe is first connected to the meter. This time stamp makes it possible to record the probe history and record the time when measurements are made. 2.
Use a sample ID The sample ID tag is used to associate measurements with a particular sample location. If assigned, stored data will include the sample ID. 1. Push the key. 2. Select, create or delete a sample ID: Option Description Current ID Select an ID from a list.
1. Push the key. 2. Select View Data Log to view the stored data. The most recent data point is shown. The top of the screen shows whether the data is from a sample reading, a calibration or a check standard. Push the key to view the next most recent data point.

Table 4 Recommended interval/duration pairs (continued) Interval Duration 1 minute 8 hours 5 minutes 24 hours Note: When 2 probes are connected to the meter, use the next lowest recommended duration time. For example, for a 30-second interval, set the duration to 1 hour to prevent data log overload with 2 probes. View instrument information The instrument information menu shows specific information such as the serial number for the meter or IntelliCAL (R) probe(s).
