HD3405.2 1. Connectors. 2. Battery symbol: displays the battery charge level. The symbol does not appear when the ex- ternal power supply is connected. 3. CAL key: it starts the probe the pH electrode calibration. 4. REL key: enables the relative measurement (displays the difference between the current value and the logged value when the key is pressed).
INTRODUCTION The instrument series HD34… is made up of 4 bench top instruments for electrochemical measures: pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and temperature. The HD3405.2 measures pH and the redox potential (ORP) in mV. It measures the temperature using Pt100 or Pt1000 immersion, penetration or air contact probes. The pH electrode calibration, as well as manual, can be carried out on one, two or three points and the calibration sequence can be chosen from a list of 13 buffers.
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".

will blink to remind the user that the instrument can only be turned off by pressing the <ON/OFF> key. The automatic turning off function is disabled when external power is used. On the other hand, it cannot be disabled when the batteries are discharged. ENTER key In the menu, the ENTER key confirms the current parameter and then goes to the next one.

Hold function is enabled, the instrument performs the measurement and when it stabilizes it goes in HOLD mode. To update the display indication, press “pH/mV” (please see the de- scription of the pH/mV key for further explanation). In the following figure you can see an example of the measurement process with the Auto- Hold function enabled.

8) BUFR_1 (First buffer): selects the value of the first buffer for the pH electrode calibration. The preset buffers are compensated for temperature. The ATC indication is displayed in the lower line. The USER buffer, defined by the user, is not compensated for temperature: to change its value, go to the "SET USER BUFR"...

case the probe type must be entered manually. Select Probe type using the MENU key and then select the type of probe used with the arrow keys; confirm using ENTER 14) YEAR: to set the current year. Use the arrows to modify this parameter and confirm using ENTER.

REL key In measurement mode, displays for both measurements - mV and temperature - the difference be- tween the current value and that measured on pressing the key. The REL message appears on the display; press the key again to return to the current measurement. LOG/DumpLOG key In measurement mode, this function starts and stops the logging of a data block to be saved in the instrument's internal memory.

NOTE: when the Auto-Hold function is enabled, the pH/mV key allows the pH measurement to be relaunched, and the measurement in mV is disabled. To restore the display in mV, disable the Auto-Hold function in the menu. 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.

Up Arrow When used in the menu, it increases the current variable value. During measurement, if the tempera- ture probe is not present, it increases the temperature value for pH compensation. 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 pH compensation.
MEASUREMENT The instrument works with pH measurement electrodes, redox potential measurement electrodes (ORP), and specific ion electrodes. The probes with 4 wire Pt100, 2 wire Pt1000 or Ni1000 sensors may be used for measuring temperature or for the automatic compensation of the Nernst coefficient with the pH electrode.
74.04mV T=100°C, 74.04mV/pH 59.16mV T=25°C, 59.16mV/pH 54.20mV T=0°C, 54.20mV/pH -54.20mV -59.16mV -74.04mV When a temperature probe is present, the instrument automatically applies the ATC automatic tem- perature compensation function. To disable it, the temperature probe must be disconnected. If the temperature probe is not present, and the correct value is not entered manually, the extent of the error committed in pH measurement is proportional to temperature and pH value itself.
The calibration may be carried out using 1, 2 or 3 points. When using 1 point, the electrode offset is corrected, with 2 points the offset and the gain is corrected; finally, in case a three points calibration is carried out two offsets and two slopes are calculated, the second point is the one in which the zero is performed.

Temperature characteristics of Delta OHM buffer solutions The 13 standard buffers reported in the table on page 14 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, 4.01pH e 9.18pH (@25°C) 6.86 pH @ 25°C 4.01 pH @ 25°C °C...
Pt100, Pt1000 Ni1000 TP47 IRECT INPUT INTO TEMPERATURE PROBES WITH MODULE The instrument accepts the input of Platinum temperature probes with resistances of 100Ω and 1000Ω as well as Nickel temperature probes with a 1000Ω resistance. The Pt100 are connected to 4 wires, the Pt1000 and Ni1000 to 2 wires, with the excitation current chosen minimizing the sensor self-heating effects.

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.
Ensure the welds are clean and perfect. Once the welding operation is complete, close the two shells, insert the gasket in the module, screw the fairlead. At the other end of the module, enter the ring with the O-Ring as indicated in the picture. Make sure the cable is not twisted while you are screwing the fairlead.
WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 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.

Some of the most frequent problems and their possible solutions are reported below. Wrong pH measurement. Carry out the following checks: Check that the diaphragm is not obstructed and possibly clean it using the HD62PT solution. Check that the reference system is not contaminated and, in case of a filling type electrode, replace the electrolyte with the KCL3M solution (electrodes KP63, KP64 e KP90) or the PROTELYTE solution (electrodes KP61, KP71 e KP80).
INSTRUMENT SIGNALS AND FAULTS The following table lists all error indications and information displayed by the instrument and sup- plied to the user in different operating situations. Display indications Explanation This message appears if the pH measurement exceeds the -2.000pH…19.999pH limits, if the mV measurement exceeds the ±2.4V limits, if the temperature probe, already detected by the instru- ment, is disconnected.
