INTRODUCTION The HD2156.1 and HD2156.2 are portable instruments with a large LCD display. They measure pH, mV, redox potential (ORP), conductivity, liquid resistivity, total dissolved solids (TDS) and sa- linity using combined 4-ring and 2-ring conductivity/temperature probes. Temperature only 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 ON-OFF/Auto-OFF 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".
Page 9
Automatic turning off The instrument has an AutoPowerOff function that automatically turns the instrument off after about 8 minutes if no key is pressed during the intervening time. The AutoPowerOff function can be disa- bled by holding the CAL/ key pressed down when turning the instrument on: the battery symbol will blink to remind the user that the instrument can only be turned off by pressing the <ON/OFF>...

blinking. While the display is blinking, it is possible to change the compensation temperature using the arrows ( and ). Confirm using 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.

The menu items are listed in this order: 1) Management of memorized data (only HD2156.2): the message "LOG_DUMP_or_E- RAS" (Transfer data or erase) is scrolled in the comment line. The center figure reports the number of free memory pages (FREE). All memory data are permanently erased by pressing SERIAL/EraseLOG.

2 digit 4) Print and log interval: sets the interval in seconds between two loggings or data transfers to the serial port. The interval can be set at 0, 1s, 5s, 10s, 15s, 30s, 60s (1min), 120s (2min), 300s (5min), 600s (10min), 900s (15min), 1200s (20min), 1800s (30min) and 3600s (1hour).

proposed. This is also true for the USER buffer, defined by the user at the "SET USER BUFR pH" step: The selection NIL (=no buffer) disables the current buffer. The USER buffer is not compensated for temperature. Please see the paragraph dedicated to pH calibra- tion on page 17.

pH are those measured at the maximum and minimum temperature and are not the maxi- mum and minimum conductivity and/or pH. Finally, if the RCD MODE parameter is set to "Indep" (=independent), the maximum and minimum values displayed using FUNC/ENTER are independent: the indicated pH, conduc- tivity and temperature are the maximum and minimum measured values but are not neces- sarily referred to the same measurement moment (factory default).
Page 15
The HD2156.2 can turn off during logging between one capture and the next: the function is con- trolled by the Sleep_Mode_LOG parameter. When the logging interval is less than one minute, the logging instrument remains on; with an interval of at least one minute, it turns off between one cap- ture and the next if the parameter Sleep_Mode_LOG=YES.
MEASUREMENT The instruments work with pH measurement electrodes, redox potential measurement electrodes (ORP), and specific ion electrodes. The pH measurement must always be accompanied by a tem- perature measurement. The probes with 4-wire Pt100, 2-wire Pt1000 sensors may be used for meas- uring temperature or for the automatic compensation of the Nernst coefficient with the pH elec- trode.
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 pH standard solutions The 13 standard solutions reported in the table on page 18 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. 6.86 pH @ 25°C 4.01 pH @ 25°C °C...
ONDUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT The instruments work with conductivity/temperature combined probes, 4-ring and 2-ring, only con- ductivity probes, or temperature probes. The 4-wire Pt100, 2-wire Pt1000 probes may be used for measuring temperature, which is used for the automatic compensation of the conductivity. The instrument obtains the following from the measurement of conductivity: ...
The probes can be in glass or plastic: the first can work in presence of aggressive pollutants, the lat- ter are more resistant to collisions, and so more suitable for industrial use. Cells with temperature sensor The probes fitted with built-in Pt100 or Pt1000 temperature sensor simultaneously measure the conductivity and the temperature: that allows automatic correction of the effect of the latter on the solution conductivity.
In absence of the temperature probe, the lower display shows the manually set compensation tem- perature (default=25°C). To point this condition out, the °C or °F symbol blinks intermittently near the temperature value. On the main display an "m" (manual) is turned on near the battery symbol (if on). The MT indica- tion is printed on the print-outs.

1. Turn the instrument on with the ON/OFF key. 2. Select the conductivity measurement by pressing " χ -Ω-TDS/ESC". 3. Set the probe's cell constant by selecting it from the admitted values: 0.01, 0.1, 0.7, 1.0 or 10.0 4. Dip the conductivity meter cell in the calibration solution until the electrodes are covered with liquid.
Page 25
8. Select the conductivity measurement by pressing χ -Ω-TDS/ESC. 9. Press the CAL key. The CAL symbol is turned on. The unit of measurement (S/cm or mS/cm) appears on the comment line. If the calibration solution conductivity is sufficiently close (-30% to +50%) to one of the standard solutions, the secondary line displays the value.

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.
OTES ON THE USE OF THE ELECTRODES The average life of a pH electrode is about 1 year, depending on the use and maintenance. The electrodes used at high temperatures or in strong alkaline environments normally have a shorter life. The new electrodes should be conditioned for half a day immersed in a 6.86pH or 4pH buffer.
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 appears if the conductivity/temperature probe is measuring a value exceeding the set measuring range.

LOW BATTERY WARNING AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT The battery symbol on the display constantly shows the battery charge status. To the extent that batteries have dis- charged, 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.
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 ...
