W A R R A N T Y W A R R A N T Y HI 9126 is guaranteed for two years against defects in workmanship and materials when used for their intended purpose and maintained according to instructions. Electrodes and probes are guaranteed for six months.
• User-selectable “calibration time-out” to remind you when a new calibration is necessary HI 9126 can also measure for Oxidation Reduction Potential in the mV range with a resolution of 0.1 mV. It offers an extended temperature range from –20 °C (–4 °F) to 120 °C...

OPERATIONAL GUIDE OPERATIONAL GUIDE OPERATIONAL GUIDE OPERATIONAL GUIDE OPERATIONAL GUIDE INITIAL PREPARATION The meter is supplied with batteries (for details see page 19). To prepare the instrument for use, connect the pH electrode and the temperature probe to the BNC and temperature sockets on the top of the instrument.

The LCD will show the pH measurement and the temperature of the sample. In order to take more accurate pH measurements, make sure that the instrument is calibrated (see page 10 for details). The glass bulb and the junction on your electrode should always be moist, never allow it to dry out.
Page 8
ORP MEASUREMENTS To perform ORP measurements, connect an optional ORP electrode (see “Accessories“ section) to the meter and turn it ON. If necessary, enter the “mV” mode by pressing RANGE. Submerse the ORP electrode 3 cm (1¼”) into the sample to be tested and wait for the reading to stabilize.
Page 9
Note: While in MEM mode, the user can switch between pH and mV by pressing the RANGE key. A stored value can be recalled by pressing MR: the display will show the memorized reading and the “RECALL MEMORIZED” tag, as long as the MR key is pressed.

audible signal (if enabled) when the reading becomes stable and the display will change to “READY” and blinking “CFM”. • Press the CFM key to confirm the calibration: the meter stores the first calibration point; the primary LCD will show the calibrated reading, while the secondary LCD will show the second buffer to be used for calibration (“pH 4.01”).
Page 12
Note: During calibration, the secondary LCD shows the selected buffer value; press RANGE to display the buffer temperature. Note: To clear a previous calibration and return to the default values, press CLR at any time after entering the calibration mode. The LCD will show “CLr CAL” for one second, and then will return to normal measurement mode.

Note: To increase the speed, continuously press the ARROW keys. • Once the desired value is reached, press CFM to confirm the value. The meter will continue calibration as with memorized buffers. • The meter will display “C2”. Use the arrow keys to change the value of the second custom buffer, or press CUST BUF to select a memorized...

4. Calibration segments: On (default) or Off. This enables or disables the bargraph, the “CLEAN ELECTRODE” message and the buffer segments. 5. Calibration time-out: 1 (default) to 14 days or disabled (0 days) After the last parameter, press the CFM key to confirm the setting and return to measurement mode.
V CALIBRATION V CALIBRATION V CALIBRATION HI 9126 has been precalibrated for mV range at the factory. For optimum accuracy, it is recommended to recalibrate the meter for mV readings at least once a year. Contact your Dealer or the nearest Hanna Customer Service Center for more information.
BATTERIES REPLACEMENT BATTERIES REPLACEMENT BATTERIES REPLACEMENT BATTERIES REPLACEMENT BATTERIES REPLACEMENT The instrument is supplied with batteries. First time you start working with the instrument, insert the supplied batteries in the battery compartment observing the correct polarity (see page 20). At start-up the battery percentage is displayed. If the batteries become weak, the display will flash the battery symbol to advise the user that approximately 1 hour of working time remains.
Page 20
To replace the batteries, follow the next steps: • Turn OFF the instrument. • Open the battery compartment cap (located on the top of the instrument). • Remove old batteries. • Insert three new 1.5V AAA batteries in the battery compartment, observing the polarity on the rear of the instrument.

For refillable electrodes, if the refill solution (electrolyte) is more than 2½ cm (1") below the fill hole, add the appropriate Electrolyte Solution. MEASUREMENT Rinse the electrode tip with distilled water, submerse it 3 cm (1¼”) in the sample and stir gently for a few seconds. For a faster response and to avoid cross contamination of the samples, rinse the electrode tip with the solution to be tested, before taking any measurements.
