If the repair is not covered by the warranty, you will be notified of the charges incurred. If the instrument is to be returned to Hanna Instruments, first obtain a Returned Goods Authorization number from the Technical Service department and then send it with shipping costs prepaid.
The temperature coefficient is fixed at 2%/°C. • HI9813-5 is a pH/EC/TDS meter designed for simplicity of use in taking pH, mS/cm, ppm and temperature in the °C scale measure- ments. Suited for hydroponics, greenhouses, farming and ground water applications.

OPERATIONAL GUIDE INITIAL PREPARATION Each meter is supplied complete with a 9V battery. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the meter and install the battery while observing its polarity. Connect the probe to the DIN socket on the top of the meter by aligning the pins with the socket and pushing in the plug.

• Select the appropriate measurement range (EC or TDS). • Wait for a couple of minutes for the temperature sensor to reach thermal equilibrium. The display then shows the measurement automatically compensat- ed for temperature with the appropriate following indication: “mS” tag indicates the meter is in EC mode, while “ppm”...
pH CALIBRATION For greatest accuracy, frequent calibration of the instrument is recom- mended. The instrument should be recalibrated for pH: a) Whenever the electrode is replaced. b) At least once a month. c) After testing aggressive chemicals. d) Where extreme accuracy is required. e) Whenever the CAL CHECK test fails (HI9813-6 only).
pH VALUES AT VARIOUS TEMPERATURES For temperature compensation during calibration, please refer to the following chart. TEMP pH VALUES °C °F 4.01 6.86 7.01 9.18 10.01 4.01 6.98 7.13 9.46 10.32 4.00 6.95 7.10 9.39 10.24 4.00 6.92 7.07 9.33 10.18 4.00 6.90...
EC/TDS CALIBRATION Accessories needed: • Use HI70031 (1413 µS/cm = 1.413 mS/cm) EC calibration solution or HI70442 (1500 ppm) TDS calibration solution. Note: The conversion between EC and TDS is made by a built-in circuit, hence it is requested to calibrate the meter only in EC or TDS range.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT These meters are powered by a 9V battery that is located on the rear of the instrument. When battery symbol is empty a low battery condition is indicated. When the low battery indication appears, only a few hours of working time remains.

For better accuracy in measurements and to ensure a good performance of the probe, a frequent cleaning is recommended. For this purpose, soak it in Hanna Instruments HI700661 Cleaning Solution for 5 minutes. Note: For particular dirt (as for example protein, oil or grease) see the “Accessories”...
