Operational Guide 8. OPERATIONAL GUIDE 8.1. POWER CONNECTION Plug the 12 Vdc adapter into the power supply socket . Note: have a fuse protected main line 8.2. ELECTRODE AND PROBE CONNECTIONS For pH or ORP measurements connect a combination pH/ORP electrode to the BNC connector located on the rear panel of the instrument.
Operational Guide • Electrode condition during the calibration day. • The buffers used in last pH calibration (if feature is enabled in SETUP). Ensure the instrument is calibrated (see pH CALIBRATION section for details). Keep the electrode moist and rinse thoroughly with the sample before use. The pH reading is directly affected by temperature.
pH Calibration The relative mV reading is equal to the difference between the absolute mV input value and relative mV offset established in the relative mV calibration. Note: If using the pH or ISE electrode while in mV mode, the instrument will measure the mV generated by the electrode. 8.7.
pH Calibration • After testing aggressive chemicals. • When calibration alarm time out is expired ‑ “CAL DUE” is displayed blinking (feature enabled in SETUP). • “Outside Cal Range” messages displayed blinking during pH measurement indicates that the measurement range is not covered by current calibration (feature enabled in SETUP). 9.1.
pH Calibration • Use the ARROW keys to configure buffer value. • The “ ” tag is displayed blinking until the reading is stable. • When the reading is stable and close to the selected buffer, Confirm is displayed. • Press Confirm to confirm calibration. •...
pH Calibration Notes: • Press MTC key to toggle pH buffer selection and temperature reading during calibration (temperature probe is not connected, MTC mode). • The displayed arrow is moving to the temperature value. Use ARROW keys to configure temperature value. 9.5.
pH Calibration Each time a buffer is confirmed, the new calibration parameters replace the older calibration parameters of the corresponding buffer. If an additional single buffer calibration is added at a latter time, the new buffer point will be added to the stored calibration.
pH Calibration Press Change to enter buffer edit mode. Use ARROW keys to change the buffer value. Press Accept to accept new value or ESC to exit. 9.8. CLEAR CALIBRATION Press Clear key to clear previous calibrations. The instrument will display “Calibration Cleared”. All previous calibrations are cleared and the instrument enters calibration mode.
pH Buffer Temperature Dependence 10. pH BUFFER TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE Temperature has an effect on pH buffers. During calibration the instrument will automatically calibrate to the pH value corresponding to the measured or set temperature. Temp pH Buffers °C °F 1.68 4.01 6.86 7.01...
Relative mV Calibration 11. RELATIVE mV CALIBRATION The relative mV value calibration is used to perform a single point calibration with an ORP standard or remove the contribution of the reference electrode to display mV equivalent to a SHE. • Press CAL when the instrument is in relative mV mode. The relative mV value and the temperature values are displayed.
ISE Calibration (HI3221 & HI3222) 12. ISE CALIBRATION (HI3221 & HI3222) It is recommended to calibrate the instrument frequently, especially if high accuracy is required. Additionally, the ISE range should be recalibrated: • Whenever the ISE probe or ion charge is changed. •...

ISE Calibration (HI3221 & HI3222) • Press Confirm to confirm calibration. The instrument stores the calibration value and returns to normal measurement mode. Note: The instrument automatically skips standards used during calibration. 12.3. ERROR SCREENS Wrong Standard: calibration cannot be confirmed Verify that the correct standard is selected.
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) 13. 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 “expired calibration”...

mV and Temperature Calibration (for technical personnel only) 16. 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.
mV and Temperature Calibration (for technical personnel only) • Immerse the temperature probe into the second vessel as close as possible to the reference thermometer. Allow a few seconds for the probe to stabilize. • Use the ARROW keys to set the calibration point value to that of the hot water. •...

Temperature Correlation for pH Sensitive Glass 18. 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).
Electrode Conditioning and Maintenance 19. ELECTRODE CONDITIONING AND MAINTENANCE * Not present in gel electrodes. Preparation Procedure • Remove the sensor protective cap. Do not be alarmed if any salt deposits are present. This is normal with pH / ORP probes and they will disappear when rinsed with water. •...

Electrode Conditioning and Maintenance Measurement Rinse the pH electrode tip with distilled or deionized water. Immerse the tip 3 cm (1¾”) in the sample and stir gently for a few seconds. For a faster response and to avoid cross‑contamination of the samples, rinse the electrode tip with a few drops of the solution to be tested, before taking measurements.
Troubleshooting Guide 20. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Problem Solution Soak the electrode tip in HI7061 cleaning solution for 30 minutes then rinse and condition (see ELECTRODE Slow response/excessive drift.
