REV. 1.3 Nov., 10 2005 HD2305.0 Our instruments' quality level is the results of the product continuous development. This can bring about differences between the information written in this manual and the instrument that you have purchased. We cannot entirely exclude errors in the manual, for which we apologize.

HD2305.0 1. Input for probes, 8-pole DIN45326 connector. 2. pH/mV input, female BNC 3. Battery symbol: displays the battery charge level. 4. Function indicators. 5. Secondary display line. 6. DATA/ENTER key: during normal operation displays the maximum (MAX), the minimum (MIN) and the average (AVG) of current measurements.
1. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS The pH meter - Thermometer Model HD2305.0 is a portable instrument that allows measurement of pH and redox potential (ORP) in mV. It also measures the temperature using Pt100 or Pt1000 immersion, penetration or contact probes. The electrode calibration can be carried out on one, two or three points at 4.01pH, 6.86pH and 9.18pH.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNCTIONS The keyboard of the pH meter Model HD2305.0 is composed of double-function keys. The function on the key is the "main function", while the one above the key is the "secondary function". When the instrument is in standard measurement mode, the main function is active.

pH-mV/ESC key The "pH-mV" key has three functions: • pH-mV: pressing this key once switches the display between pH and mV; • ESC: once the MENU has been opened with the DATA+°C/°F keys, the "pH-mV" key will allow to cancel the parameters set using the arrows.

DATA/ENTER. The display stops blinking, and the temperature displayed is used for compensation. If the temperature probe is not present, to change the unit of measurement between °C and °F, it is necessary to press twice the °C/°F key. • MENU: to access to the menu press simultaneously DATA+°C/°F: the Probe Type will be displayed.
• 4 wire Pt100 probes • 2 wire Pt1000 probes The probes fitted with SICRAM module, and Delta Ohm Pt1000 probes, are automatically detected by the instrument upon turning on: the Probe Type menu item is configured by the instrument and cannot be modified by the user.
The Delta Ohm Pt1000 probes are automatically detected while the direct 4 wire Pt100 temperature probe is not automatically detected by the instrument and must be set up in the Probe type menu item (please see the menu description on chapter 3).
The pH electrodes must be calibrated using the buffer solutions (see paragraph 4.2 pH electrode calibration). The ORP and specific ion electrodes do not need calibration as their absolute voltage is measured. The ORP (REDOX) buffer solutions are only used to check the quality of an ORP (REDOX) electrode.
• During manual compensation, to change the unit of measurement between °C and °F, it is necessary to press twice the °C/°F key. 4.2 pH ELECTRODE CALIBRATION The electrode calibration is used to compensate the zero potential and slope departures to which the electrode is subject with time.

5) Press DATA/ENTER to proceed with the calibration. The electrode offset mV value (OFFS) is shown on the display for few seconds. After a few seconds the instrument shows the measurement again, corrected according to the new calibration, but remains in calibration mode. Pressed repeatedly the DATA/ENTER key allows the calibration on the point to be repeated, for example, in order to obtain a more stable value.
Temperature characteristics of Delta OHM buffer solutions The 3 standard buffers are memorized in the instruments with relevant variations according to temperature: the characteristics of the three Delta Ohm standard buffers at 6.86pH, 4.01pH and 9.18pH (@25°C) are reported below.
All probes produced by Delta Ohm are provided with a connector. The HD2305.0 instrument also work with direct 4 wire Pt100, and 2 wire Pt1000 probes manufactured by other producers: for the instrument connection is prescribed the TP47 connector to which the probe's wires should be welded.

5. open the two module shells: the printed circuit to which the probe must be connected is housed inside. On the left there are the 1…4 points on which the sensor wires must be welded. The JP1…JP4 jumpers are in the center of the board. These must be closed with a tin bead for some type of sensors: Not Used Ni1000...
4.3.3 Direct connection of 4 wire Pt100 sensors 4 wire Pt100 sensors can be soldered directly Sensor Direct soldering to the connector to the pins of the flying female connector without making use of the TP47 board. The 4 wires of the Pt100 sensors have to be soldered as indicated in the figure on the left.
5. WARNINGS 1. Do not expose the probes to gases or liquids that could corrode the material of the sensor or the probe itself. Clean the probe carefully after each measurement. 2. Do not bend the probe connectors or force them upward or downward. 3.

7. INSTRUMENT STORAGE Instrument storage conditions: • Temperature: -25…+65°C. • Humidity: less than 90%RH without condensation. • Do not store the instrument in places where: • humidity is high; • the instrument may be exposed to direct sunlight; • the instrument may be exposed to a source of high temperature; •...
8. LOW BATTERY WARNING AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT The battery symbol on the display constantly shows the battery charge status. To the extent that batteries have discharged, the symbol "empties". When the charge decreases still further it starts blinking. In this case, batteries should be replaced as soon as possible. If you continue to use it, the instrument can no longer ensure correct measurement.
9. NOTES ABOUT WORKING AND OPERATIVE SAFETY Authorized use The technical specifications as given in chapter TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS must be observed. Only the operation and running of the measuring instrument according to the instructions given in this operating manual is authorized. Any other use is considered unauthorized. General safety instructions This measuring system is constructed and tested in compliance with the EN 61010-1 safety regulations for electronic measuring instruments.
