HD25.2 Connectors 16. Power supply input 12Vdc/1A for ∅ 5.5mm - 2.1mm connector. 17. USB2.0 connector - type B. 18. RS232C serial port, sub D 9-pole connector.
A stabilized power supply of the sources and advanced electronics guarantee optimum instrument performance over time. The HD25.2 is a datalogger. It memorizes up to 999 samples. The measured data can be transferred from the instrument connected to a PC via the RS232C serial port or the USB 2.0 port.
EASUREMENT RINCIPLE The most known liquid analysis methods, like pH, conductivity or dissolved Oxygen measurements, express quantitatively the parameters that determine the solution's chemical-physical state. Such methods allow measuring the quantity of substances dissolved in the liquid, for example as ions. The substances suspended in the liquids are not measured using these methods.
EYBOARD DESCRIPTION ON-OFF key The instrument is turned on and off using the ON/OFF key. The turning on starts a self test that checks the instrument status. In the following window you will enter the password identifying the user: press ENTER to access as a non registered user (Anonymous).

MEM key Stores the displayed data using the current unit of measurement. The following is also recorded: measurement method (EBC, NTU, FTU,…), current date, ID and calibration date. For the details see the chapter dedicated to recording on page 22. ESC key In the menu, this key cancels the current setting.
ENU DESCRIPTION To access to the menu press the MENU key: the first item will display. Press ENTER to go to the following items. To modify the item displayed, use the arrow keys ( ). The current value is confirmed by pressing the ENTER key and the display moves on to the next parameter. If pressing ESC the setting is cancelled.

Note: the day is counted at midnight: by entering 1, at midnight of the same day, the calibration is considered expired. 9. CAL RESIDUAL DAY (Days to calibration expiration): displays the number of days to the calibration expiration. This item cannot be modified. 10.
ANAGEMENT Upon turning on the instrument, the user must identify himself or herself by entering a password: each password is associated to a registered user indicated in the printing and recording operations. The available users are: administrator, user_1, user_2, user_3 and anonymous user. The Administrator is enabled to use all of the instrument functions and assigns the password to the other users.
EASUREMENT ROCESS The following steps outline how to carry out a turbidity measurement. • The cell must be accurately cleaned with distilled water and a non aggressive detergent. Before measurement check that the cell is clean and that no fingerprints are present. •...
ISONEPH and EBC scales require four calibration standard, WHITE %T and IR %T only need the 0 NTU standard. The HD25.2 must be calibrated before using it for the first time, and when a check using the calibration standards detects an error exceeding ±10%.
8. Press ENTER to continue. The MEAS message is shown in the comment line. After a few seconds the “UP DOWN TO CHNG VAL” message appears and the next standard will be STCAL 4 equal to 800 NTU. 9. Insert the standard cell STCAL 4 equal to 800 NTU. If the turbidity value is slightly different from 800, correct it using the arrows.
Calibration of the IR %T scale The following steps are performed to calibrate the IR %T scale. 1. Select the IR %T measurement method using the arrows. 2. Press simultaneously MENU and ENTER to start the calibration procedure. 3. The “H2O_INSERT” message appears: insert the standard cell STCAL 1 equal to 0 NTU in the measurement compartment and screw the cap.
ATTERY REPLACEMENT The HD25.2 is supplied by three 1.5V, AA batteries or by external power supply (12Vdc/1A). 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…...
Malfunctioning upon turning on after battery replacement After replacing the batteries, the instrument may not restart correctly; in this case, repeat the operation. After disconnecting the batteries, wait a few minutes in order to allow circuit condensers to discharge completely; then reinsert the batteries. Warning About the Use of Batteries •...
NSTRUMENT IGNALS AND AULTS The following table lists all error indications and information displayed by the instrument and supplied to the user in different operating situations: Display indication Explanation This appears during calibration if a wrong standard is inserted. Measurement overflow: this appears when the measurement value OVER exceeds the expected measurement range, or when the instrument has not been calibrated on that scale.
ERIAL NTERFACE AND The HD25.2 is fitted with an electrically isolated RS-232C serial interface, and an USB 2.0 interface. The instrument can be connected using a serial cable with sub D 9-pole female connectors (code 9CPRS232) and a cable with USB2.0 connectors (code CP22).
