The instrument series HD34… is made up of 4 bench top instruments for electrochemical measures: pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and temperature. The HD3406.2 measures conductivity, liquid resistivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), and salin- ity using combined 4-ring and 2-ring conductivity/temperature probes. Temperature is measured by Pt100 or Pt1000 immersion, penetration or contact probes.
KEYBOARD AND MENU DESCRIPTION Foreword The instrument keyboard is composed of single-function keys, like the MENU key, and double- function keys such as the LOG/DUMP LOG key. In the double-keys, the function in the upper part is the "main function", while the one in the bottom part is the "secondary function".

ENTER Key In the menu, the ENTER key confirms the current parameter and then goes to the next one. Pressed together with the ON/OFF key, disables the automatic turn off. MENU Key The first menu item is accessed by initially pressing on the MENU key; press ENTER to go to the following items.

the value of the first sample to be set: each time the PRINT key is pressed, the identification ID in the printing is increased by 1 allowing progressive measurement of all measured sam- ples. If the Auto-Hold function, described below in this chapter, is enabled, the print time in- terval is forced to zero.

tion year is not displayed. The cell constant change, using the K CELL parameter, resets the date. 8) ALPH_T (Temperature coefficient α ): the temperature coefficient α is the percentage measurement of the conductivity variation according to temperature and is expressed in %/°C (or %/°F).

16) HOUR: to set the current hour. Use the arrows to modify this parameter and confirm using ENTER. 17) MIN: to set the current minutes. In order to correctly synchronize the minute, it is possible to reset the seconds by pressing the °C/°F key. Use the arrows to set the current minute plus one, and as soon as that minute is reached press °C/°F: this synchronizes the time to the second.

If the Auto-HOLD function is enabled (please see the menu), the data logging is disabled. The HD3406.2 can turn off during logging between one capture and the next: the function is controlled by the Sleep_Mode_LOG parameter. When the logging interval is less than one minute, the logging instrument remains on;...

SERIAL/EraseLOG key In measurement mode, this function starts and stops the data transfer to the RS232C serial output According to the settings entered in the Print and log interval menu item, a single sample can be printed if Print and log interval = 0 or a continuous indefinite printing of the measured data can be set up if Print and log interval = 1…3600.

Down Arrow When used in the menu, it decreases the current variable value. During measurement, if the tem- perature probe is not present, it decreases the temperature value for conductivity compensation.
This probe's temperature measuring range is -50°C a +90°C. 4- ring or 2- ring probes The conductivity HD3406.2 uses 4-electrode or 2-electrode probes for conductivity measurement. The 4- ring probes are preferred to measure high conductivity solutions, either over an extended range or in presence of pollutants.
Cells with temperature sensor All probes are fitted with a built-in Pt100 or Pt1000 temperature sensor: the simultaneous measure- ment of conductivity and temperature allows automatic correction of the effect of the latter on the solution conductivity. Choosing the cell constant The constant is a piece of information which characterizes the cell.
To manually change the compensation temperature press the °C/°F key once: the indicated tempera- ture value starts blinking. Select the desired temperature value by using the arrows and confirm with ENTER. The display stops blinking, and the temperature displayed is used for compensation. To change the unit of measurement between °C and °F, press the °C/°F key twice.
probe is not present, at the manually-set temperature. In the lower line, the closest temperature compensated standard buffer value. 6. Press the CAL key. The unit of measurement (μS/cm or mS/cm) appears on the comment line. The central line shows the solution conductivity value at the measured temperature, or if the probe is not present, at the manually-set temperature.
10. The cell constant nominal value (KCELL) and the temperature coefficient α set to 0 are dis- played. Pressed repeatedly the ENTER key allows the calibration on the point to be repeated, for example, in order to obtain a more stable value. 11.
Instructions to connect the TP47 module for conductivity/temperature combined probes, 4 wire Pt100 probes and 2 wire Pt1000 probes All Delta Ohm probes are provided with a module TP47. The HD3406.2 also work with conductiv- ity/temperature combined probes, direct 4 wire Pt100 probes, 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.

Do the following to open the module and connect a probe: unscrew the fairlead and extract the gasket, remove the label using a cutter, unscrew the ring on the opposite side as illustrated in the figure: Open the two module shells: the printed circuit to which the temperature probe must be connected is housed inside.

Slow response or instability. Check that the cell is not dirty, that there are no traces of oil or air bubbles inside it. If you work with a black Platinum cell, new platinum-coating of the electrode could be necessary. Cell constant value not accepted. Check that the standard solutions are in good condition, that the probe's constant cell value coincides with that selected in the instrument and that the solution tem- perature is within the range 15…35°C.

The instrument issues a long beep and turns off. In this case, replace the batteries or use the external power supply, in order to turn the instrument back on. In order to avoid data loss, the logging session is ended, if the HD3406.2 is logging and battery voltage falls below the minimum operating level.
ALFUNCTIONING UPON TURNING ON AFTER BATTERY REPLACEMENT After replacing the batteries, the instrument may not restart correctly; in this case, repeat the opera- tion. After disconnecting the batteries, wait a few minutes in order to allow circuit condensers to discharge completely; then reinsert the batteries. ARNING ABOUT BATTERY USE •...
SERIAL INTERFACE AND USB The HD3406.2 is fitted with an electrically isolated RS-232C and USB2.0 serial interface. The USB connection requires the previous installation of a driver in the instrument software. Install the driver before connecting the USB cable to the PC (please see the details on page. 32).

STORING AND TRANSFERRING DATA TO A PERSONAL COMPUTER The HD3406.2 instrument can be connected to a personal computer via an RS232C serial port, and exchange data and information through the DeltaLog9 software (Version 2.0 or later versions) running in a Windows operating environment. The measured values can be sent directly to the PC, through the SERIAL function in real time or store them in the internal memory using Logging function (LOG key) in their internal memory.
PRINT FUNCTION The PRINT function sends the measurements taken in real time by the instrument inputs directly to a PC. Print data units of measurements are the same as those used on the display. Printing always includes two parameters. Each data pair is composed of: temperature in °C or °F, conductivity or resistivity or TDS or NaCl.
SERIAL PORT 1. The measurement instrument must be switched off. 2. Using the Delta Ohm HD2110CSNM cable, connect the measurement instrument to the first free serial port (COM) of the PC. 3. Turn on the instrument and set the baud rate to 38400 (MENU >> ENTER until the Baud Rate parameter >>...
