If the repair is not covered by the warranty, you will be notified of the charges incurred. If the instrument is to be returned to Hanna Instruments, first obtain a Returned Goods Authori- zation number from the Technical Service department and then send it with shipping costs prepaid.
PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION Remove the instrument from the packing material and examine it carefully to make sure that no damage has occured during shiping. If there is any damage, notify your Dealer or the nearest Hanna Customer Service Center. Each instrument is supplied with: •...

INSTRUMENT START-UP • Turn the instrument on by pressing the ON/OFF switch. • All LCD tags are displayed and a beep is generated while the instrument performs self test. g / l TIME DATE INTV NaCl WRONG • After a few seconds “Cond” message appears on the LCD to inform the user that the probe is in auto-conditioning (automatic polarization) mode.
SALINITY AND ALTITUDE COMPENSATION If the sample contains significant concentration of salinity or if you are performing measurements at an altitude different from sea level, the read out values must be corrected, taking into account the lower degree of oxygen solubility in these situations (see pages 14-16).
D . O . C A L I B R A T I O N Calibrate the instrument frequently, especially if high accuracy is required. The instrument can be calibrated in maximum 2 points: 0.0% (zero calibra- tion) and 100.0% (slope calibration). The zero calibration of the HI 2400 is very stable, therefore this procedure needs to be performed only whenever the probe or the membrane is replaced.

• Press CAL. The instrument will return to measure- ment mode and will memorize the zero calibration data. For a two-point calibration do not press CAL and follow the procedure below. SLOPE CALIBRATION It is suggested to perform the slope calibration in air. •...
TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION (for technical personnel only) Each meter has been factory calibrated for temperature with the supplied D.O. probe and is ready for measurements. The D.O. probes are interchangeable and no temperature calibration is needed. If the temperature measurements are not accurate, temperature recalibration should be performed.
• Immerse the D.O. probe in the second vessel as near as possible to the ChecktempC. Allow a few seconds for the probe to stabilize. • Use the " " or " " key to set the reading on the secondary LCD to that of the hot water. •...

LOGGING INTERVAL SET Press CAL when the logging interval is displayed. The logging interval (1, 15, 30 s, or 1, 2, 5, 15, 30, 60, 120, 180 min) will start blinking.

DATE Press the ARROW keys to change the year. Press CFM to save the modified value or press CAL to escape without saving. SERIAL COMMUNICATION BAUD RATE SET Press CAL when the baud rate is displayed.
BEEP STATUS SET Press CAL when the beep status is displayed. The beep status (ON or OFF) will start blinking. Press the ARROW keys to change the beep status. Press CFM to save the modified value or press CAL to escape without saving. L O G G I N G This function allows the user to log D.O.

To stop the Auto LOG mode press LOG again. The instrument will display for about five seconds the sample number on the primary LCD and the lot number on the secondary LCD. The instrument returns to normal measurement mode. If the log space is full, the “FULL” message will be displayed and no more data will be saved.
Note: • Other cables than HI 920010 may use a different configuration. In this case communication between instrument and PC may not be possible. • If you are not using Hanna Instruments HI 92000 software, please see the following instructions. SENDING COMMANDS FROM PC It is also possible to remotely control the instrument with any terminal program.

This line makes the computer send a Data Link Escape character, the com- mand expressed as a number or a 3-character sequence and a CR character. Note: All terminal programs that support the ANSI escape sequence, represent the DLE character by the string ‘^P’ and the CR character by the string ‘^M’.

PROBE & MEMBRANE MAINTENANCE The oxygen probe body is made of reinforced plastic for maximum durability. A thermistor temperature sensor provides temperature measurements of the sample. Use the protective probe cap when not in use. To replace the membrane or refill with electrolyte, proceed as follows: •...
Important In order to have accurate and stable measurements, it is important that the membrane surface is in perfect condition. This semipermeable membrane isolates the sensor elements from the environment but allows oxygen to enter. If any dirt is observed on the membrane, rinse carefully with distilled or deionized water.
