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 dis- abled 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 ( ). 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.

χ χ 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.
Page 14
If the RCD MODE parameter is set to "tp" (=temperature), the maximum and minimum values displayed using FUNC/ENTER refer to temperature: the indicated conductivity and pH are those measured at the maximum and minimum temperature and are not the maxi- mum and minimum conductivity and/or pH.
Page 15
When the LOG key is pressed after the MENU key, the transfer of the logged data on the serial port is started. Please see the paragraph dedicated to data transfer on page 39. SERIAL key - only HD2156.1 SERIAL/EraseLOG key - only HD2156.2 In measurement mode, this function starts and stops the data transfer to the RS232C serial output.
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.

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.
This probe's temperature measuring range is 0…+90°C. 4-ring or 2-ring probes The HD2156.1 and HD2156.2 conductivity meters use 4-ring or 2-ring probes for conductivity measurement. The 4-ring probes are preferred to measure high conductivity solutions, either over an extended range or in presence of pollutants.
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 con- ductivity and the temperature: that allows automatic correction of the effect of the latter on the solu- tion 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 (μS/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. Otherwise it displays the calculated value according to current settings.

Instructions to connect the TP47 module for conductivity/temperature combined probes, 4-wire Pt100 probes, and 2-wire Pt1000 probes All Delta Ohm probes are provided with a connector. The HD2156.1 and HD2156.2 instruments also work with conductivity/temperature combined probes, direct 4-wire Pt100 probes, 2-wire Pt1000 probes manufactured by other producers: for the instrument connection is prescribed the TP47 connector to which the probe's wires should be welded.

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.

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 •...
