If the repair is not covered by the warranty, you will be notified of the charges incurred. If the instrument is to be returned to Hanna Instruments, first obtain a Returned Goods Authorization (RGA) number from the Technical Service department and then send it with shipping costs prepaid.
PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION Remove the instrument from the packing material and examine it carefully to make sure that no damage has occurred during shipping. If there is any damage, notify your Dealer or the nearest Hanna Customer Service Center. Each instrument is supplied with: •...
METER FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 1) Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). 2) Range key, to select ppm or % range. 3) On/Off key, to turn the instrument ON and OFF. 4) CAL key, to enter/exit calibration mode. 5) Setup key, to enter/exit SETUP mode. key, to manually increase temperature or other parameters.

10) GLP key, to display Good Laboratory Practice information. CFM key, to confirm different values. 11) AutoEnd key, to freeze first stable reading on the LCD. 12) Light key, to toggle display backlighting. 13) Secondary LCD. 14) Primary LCD.
Probes shipped from Hanna Instruments are dry. To hydrate the probe and prepare it for use, connect it to the meter and proceed as follows: 1.

With the probe properly polarized, oxygen is continually consumed when it passes through the sensitive diaphragm and dissolves in the electrolyte solution contained in the probe. If polarization is interrupted, the electrolyte solution continues to be enriched with oxygen until it reaches an equilibrium with the surrounding solution.

For accurate Dissolved Oxygen measurements, a water movement of 0.3 m/s is required. This is to ensure that the oxygen-depleted membrane surface is constantly replenished. A moving stream will provide adequate circulation. The use of a magnetic stirrer to ensure a certain fluid velocity is recommended.
AutoEnd To freeze the first stable reading on the LCD press AutoEnd while the instrument is in measurement mode. The ”HOLD” tag will be displayed blinking on the LCD until the reading will stabilize. When the reading is stable, the “HOLD” tag stops blinking and the reading is frozen on the LCD.

INITIAL PREPARATION • Pour small quantities of HI7040 Zero Oxygen solution into a beaker. If possible, use a plastic beaker to minimize any EMC interferences. • Make sure the probe is ready for measurements (see probe preparation on page 8), i.e. the membrane is filled with electrolyte and the probe is connected to the meter.

SLOPE CALIBRATION It is suggested to perform the slope calibration in air. • Rinse the probe in clean water to remove any residual zero oxygen solution. Note: If you did not perform the zero calibration procedure, press CAL and then the keys to select the 100% DO calibration point.
GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE (GLP) GLP is a set of functions that allows storage and retrieval of data regarding the maintenance and status of the probe. All data regarding DO calibration is stored for the user to review when necessary. LAST DO CALIBRATION DATA The last DO calibration data is stored automatically after a successful calibration.

TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION (for technical personnel only) All the instruments are factory calibrated for temperature. Hanna’s temperature probes are interchangeable and no temperature calibration is needed when they are replaced. If the temperature measurements are inaccurate, temperature recalibration should be performed. For an accurate recalibration, contact your dealer or the nearest Hanna Customer Service Center, or follow the instructions below.
BATTERIES REPLACEMENT If the batteries become weak, the display will flash the battery symbol to advise the user that approx. 1 hour of working time is left. It is recommended to change the batteries as soon as the battery indicator blinks (lower frequency).
LCD MESSAGE GUIDE TAGS & SYMBOLS • Mode tags light up for indicating the corresponding active mode, and blink for warning the user. MEASURE on: Instrument in measurement mode. SETUP on: SETUP menu mode has been entered. CALIBRATION on: calibration mode has been entered. GLP on: GLP mode has been entered.
PROBE & MEMBRANE MAINTENANCE The oxygen probe body is made of reinforced plastic for maximum durability. A thermistor temperature sensor provides temperature measurements of the sample. Use the protective probe cap when not in use. To replace the membrane or refill with electrolyte, proceed as follows: •...

IMPORTANT In order to have accurate and stable measurements, it is important that the membrane surface is in perfect condition. This semipermeable membrane isolates the sensor elements from the environment but allows oxygen to enter. If any dirt is observed on the membrane, rinse carefully with distilled or deionized water.
