  • Page 11: Operational Guide

    OPERATIONAL GUIDE POWER CONNECTION Plug the 12 VDC adapter into the power supply socket. Notes: • These instruments use non volatile memory to retain the pH, mV, temperature calibrations and all other settings, even when unplugged. • Make sure a fuse protects the main line. ELECTRODE AND PROBE CONNECTIONS For HANNA P type pH or ORP electrodes (with internal reference) connect the electrode’s BNC to the socket on the back of the instrument (#6 on page 4...
  • Page 12 pH MEASUREMENTS Make sure the instrument has been calibrated before taking pH measurements. • Press MODE to enter pH mode. Note: To change pH resolution, press MODE again or simply Resolution from the left keyboard. • Submerge the electrode tip and the temperature probe approximately 4 cm (1½”) into the sample to be tested.
  • Page 13 Press NUM to change the temperature value with the numerical keys. The “2nd” tag will blink. Press CLR if you want to delete digits of the displayed value. The remaining digits will shift to right. Introduce the desired value. If the value is out of temperature range, a long beep will be heard.
  • Page 14: Temperature Measurements

    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. TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS Connect the HI 7662-T temperature probe to the appropri- ate socket. Immerse the temperature probe into the sample and allow the reading on the secondary LCD to stabilize.
  • Page 15: Ph Calibration

    pH CALIBRATION Calibrate the instrument often, especially if high accuracy is required. The instrument should be recalibrated: • Whenever the pH electrode is replaced. • At least once a week. • After testing aggressive chemicals. • If “CAL DUE” tags are blinking during measurement. •...
  • Page 16 All new calibrations will override existing stored calibration data, in a ±0.2 pH window, at these calibration points. The slopes adjacent to the calibration points will be reevaluated. If the new calibration point has no correspondence in the existing stored calibration data, it is added to it if this is not full, or the instrument will ask which buffer will be replaced by the current buffer.
  • Page 17 • The “ ” tag will blink on the LCD until the reading is stable. • When the reading is stable and close to the selected buffer, “CFM” tag blinks. • Press CFM to confirm calibration. • The calibrated value is then displayed on the primary LCD and the secondary LCD will display the second expected buffer value, together with “CAL”, “Cal Point 2”...
  • Page 18 • After the third calibration point is confirmed, immerse the pH electrode and the temperature probe approximately 4 cm (1½”) into the fourth buffer solution and stir gently. The temperature probe should be close to the pH electrode. • If necessary, press the ARROW keys to select a different buffer value. •...
  • Page 19 If the existing stored calibration is full (five calibration points), the instrument asks which buffer will be replaced by current buffer. Press the ARROW keys to select another buffer to be replaced. Press CFM to confirm the buffer that will be replaced. Press CAL to leave calibration without replacing.
  • Page 20: Enhanced Calibration Messages

    ENHANCED CALIBRATION MESSAGES The stored calibration history to used issue error and warning messages during calibration to help ensure the highest accuracy. As electrode aging is normally a slow process, substantial changes from previous calibrations are likely due to a temporary problem with the electrode or buffers.
  • Page 21: Electrode Condition & Electrode Response Time

    CLEAN ELECTRODE This warning message appears in order to alert the user that some dirt or deposits could be on the electrode. Refer to the electrode Cleaning Procedure. This ensures the removal of film, dirt or deposits on the glass bulb and reference junction.
  • Page 22: Relative Mv Calibration

    The electrode response is evaluated only when calibration has been performed using pH 7.01 or pH 6.86, pH 4.01 and pH 10.01 or pH 9.18 buffers. When the instrument cannot evaluate the electrode response or pH 1.68/12.45 buffer was used as calibration buffer, the response gauge will be empty.
  • Page 23: Good Laboratory Practice (Glp)

    GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE (GLP) GLP is a set of functions that allows storage and retrival of data regarding the maintenance and status of the electrode. All data regarding pH and Rel mV calibration is stored for the user to review when necessary. CALIBRATION ALARM TIME OUT For pH calibration, all the instruments allow the user to set the number of days before the next required pH calibration.
  • Page 24 • The pH calibration offset. • The pH calibration slope (the GLP slope is the average of the calibration slopes; the percentage is referred to the ideal value of 59.16 mV/pH). • The calibration buffers in calibrating order, with the corresponding warnings.
  • Page 25 The fourth pH calibration buffer: The fifth pH calibration buffer: Notes: • The “OLd” message displayed beside the pH value means that this buffer was not used during last calibration. Press 2nd then SET key if you want to see calibration date (or time, if old calibration was performed in the same day with current calibration).
  • Page 26 LAST RELATIVE mV CALIBRATION DATA Last Relative mV calibration data is stored automatically after a successful calibration. To view the Relative mV calibration data, press 2nd then GLP key or simply GLP from the left keyboard (HI 120) while in Relative mV measurement mode. The instrument will display the Relative mV GLP information.

  • Page 28 If there is another item to be set (e.g. minutes), press MODE or from the left keyboard. The other item will start blinking. Press the ARROW keys to change the displayed value or simply use the numerical keys for all numerical parameters. Press CFM to confirm or CAL to escape.
  • Page 29 Notes: • The custom buffers can be set only with 0.001 pH resolution. If 0.01 pH resolution is selected during calibration, the displayed custom buffer value is a rounded one. • For calibration alarm time out, custom buffers, alarm limits, start and stop condition items, if pressing CLR while in changing mode, the selected item will be set to default.
  • Page 30 AutoLOG SETUP AutoLOG Start Condition • Select the “Strt” item. The displayed AutoLOG start condition will be the previous set one. The default value is “btn” – button (start with key). • Press and keep hold down MODE while in view mode, when time is displayed, to view the set date.
  • Page 31: Logging

    L O G G I N G This feature allows the user to log pH and Rel mV, together with temperature automatically. All logged data can be transferred to a PC through the RS232 port. The maximum logging space is 1000 record locations (samples). This can be divided in 1 up to 50 lots (one lot can use all the free space).
  • Page 32 If the LOG space is full, “FULL LOC” message will be displayed on the LCD for a few seconds with “LOG” tag blinking, and then ”FrEE 0” message. The instrument returns to normal measurement mode. AutoLOGGING The setable AutoLOG modes make these instruments very useful in a wide range of applications: •...

    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 ºC (77 ºF).
