• Changing the ISE electrode or the ion charge will need ISE range calibration. TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS For HI 98190 the temperature sensor is connected through DIN socket. Connect the temperature connector to the appropriate socket (HI 98191). Immerse the pH electrode into the sample and allow the reading on the secondary LCD to stabilize.
SETUP). PROCEDURE HI 98190 and HI 98191 instruments offers a choice of seven standard buffers (1.68, 4.01, 6.86, 7.01, 9.18, 10.01 and 12.45 pH). The meters allow the user to set up to five custom buffers. The set custom buffers are the buffer values at 25 °C.

• Press CAL. The instrument will display the measured pH, the LCD first expected buffer and the temperature reading. • If necessary, press the ARROW keys to select a different buffer value. • The “ ” tag will blink on the LCD until the reading is stable. •...
Page 15
• Press CFM to confirm calibration. • The calibrated value and the third expected buffer value will be displayed. • After the second calibration point is confirmed, immerse the pH electrode and the temperature probe approximately 4 cm (1 ”) into the third buffer solution and stir gently. The temperature probe should be close to the pH electrode.
Page 16
• When the reading is stable and within range of the selected buffer, the CFM functional key is displayed. • Press CFM to confirm calibration. • The calibrated value and the fifth expected buffer will be displayed. • After the fourth calibration point is confirmed, immerse the pH electrode and the temperature probe approximately 4 cm (1 ”) into the fifth buffer solution and stir gently.
Page 17
FOUR, THREE or TWO POINT CALIBRATION • Proceed as described in “FIVE POINT CALIBRATION” section. • Press CAL or ESC after the appropriate accepted calibration point. The instruments will return to measurement mode and will memorize the calibration data. ONE POINT CALIBRATION Two SETUP selectable options are available for one point calibration: Replace and Offset.
Page 18
Electrode Dirty/Broken alternatively with Buffer Contaminated The calibration cannot be confirmed. The offset of the electrode is not in the accepted range. Check if the electrode is broken or clean it following the Cleaning Procedure (see page 58). Check the quality of the buffer. If necessary, change the buffer.
Page 19
If the current confirmed buffer has no correspondence in the existing stored calibration and this is not full, the current buffer is added to the existing stored calibration. If the existing stored calibration is full (five calibration points), after confirming the calibration point, the instrument will ask which buffer will be replaced by current buffer.

Clear old calibration parameters and proceed calibration from the current 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 electrode. All data regarding pH, Rel mV or ISE calibration is stored for the user to review when necessary. EXPIRED CALIBRATION The instrument is provided with a real time clock (RTC), in order to monitor the time elapsed since the last pH calibration.

mV AND TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION (for technical personnel only) All the instruments are factory calibrated for mV and temperature. Hanna’s temperature probes are interchangeable and no temperature calibration is needed when they are replaced. If the temperature or ORP measurements are inaccurate, calibration should be performed. For an accurate recalibration, contact your dealer or the nearest Hanna Customer Service Center, or follow the instructions below.

TEMPERATURE CORRELATION FOR pH SENSITIVE GLASS The resistance of glass electrodes partially depends on the temperature. The lower the temperature, the higher the resistance. It takes more time for the reading to stabilize if the resistance is higher. In addition, the response time will suffer to a greater degree at temperatures below 25 °C (77 °F). Since the resistance of the pH electrode is in the range of 50 –...
ELECTRODE CONDITIONING AND MAINTENANCE Not present in gel electrodes. PREPARATION PROCEDURE Remove the electrode protective cap. DO NOT BE ALARMED IF ANY SALT DEPOSITS ARE PRESENT. This is normal with electrodes and they will disappear when rinsed with water. During transport tiny bubbles of air may have formed inside the glass bulb. The electrode cannot function properly under these conditions.
