OPERATIONAL GUIDE ELECTRODE AND PROBE CONNECTIONS For combination pH or ORP electrodes (with internal reference) plug the electrode's BNC to the socket on the back of the meter (pages 4- 5, # I). For electrodes with a separate reference, connect the measuring electrode's BNC to the BNC socket (pages 4-5, # I) and the reference electrode plug to the other socket (pages 4-5, # II or III).
Page 10
In order to take accurate pH measurements, make sure that the instrument has been calibrated before use (see page 12). For more accurate results, it is recommended that the electrode is rinsed thoroughly with a liberal amount of the sample to be measured.
ORP MEASUREMENTS Press RANGE. Submerge the ORP or ISE electrode tip (4cm/ 1½") into the sample. Allow a few minutes for the reading to stabi- lize. ºC If readings are out of range "---" will appear on the LCD. °C See also "Taking REDOX Measurements"...
RESET BUTTON The RESET button (see pages 4-5, #V) should be used when the instrument displays erroneous messages due to strong electrical inter- ference or when the instrument's power supply was disconnected before the meter was switched off. It is recommended to recalibrate the unit before proceeding. pH CALIBRATION Calibrate the instrument often, especially if high accuracy is required.
Page 13
PROCEDURE Calibration has a choice of 5 memorized buffers: 4.01, 6.86, 7.01, 9.18 and 10.01 pH. It is always recommended to perform a two-point calibration, first in an offset buffer (pH 6.86 or pH 7.01) and then a slope value (pH 4.01, pH 9.18 or pH 10.01).
Page 14
close to the selected buffer, the meter stores the reading. The buffer value is then displayed on the primary LCD and the secondary LCD will display "4.01". • Press CAL and the meter exits the calibra- tion mode. Two-point calibration Any two of the 5 memorized buffer solutions that are more than 1 pH apart can be used for this purpose.
Page 15
Note: The meter will automatically skip the buffer that was used for the first calibration. pH 6.86 and pH 7.01 as well as 9.18 and 10.01 pairs of buffer solutions are also considered too close to allow an adequate two-point calibration. Consequently, after calibrating in one of the pair, the meter will also skip the other buffer.
pH VALUES AT VARIOUS TEMPERATURES Temperature has an effect on pH. The calibration buffer solutions are affected by temperature changes to a lesser degree than normal solutions. During calibration the meter will automatically calibrate to the pH value corresponding to the measured or set temperature. TEMP pH VALUES °C...
TEMPERATURE AND mV CALIBRATION The pH meter has been factory calibrated for temperature and mV. The temperature probes and ORP electrodes are interchangeable and no temperature or mV calibration is needed when they are replaced. If, for any reason, the temperature or the mV measurements are inaccurate, temperature or mV recalibration should be carried out (see pages 24 and 25).

ELECTRODE CONDITIONING & MAINTENANCE PREPARATION Remove the 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 form inside the glass bulb affecting proper functioning of the electrode.

Refill the reference chamber with fresh electrolyte (HI 7071 or HI 8071 for single junction or HI 7082 or HI 8082 for double junction electrodes). Allow the electrode to stand upright for 1 hour. Follow the Storage Procedure above. AmpHel ® is a registered Trademark of "Hanna Instruments"...

CLEANING PROCEDURE General Soak in Hanna HI 7061 or HI 8061 General Cleaning Solution for approximately ½ hour. Removal of films, dirt or deposits on the membrane/junction: - Protein Soak in Hanna HI 7073 or HI 8073 Protein Cleaning Solution for 15 minutes. - Inorganic Soak in Hanna HI 7074 or HI 8074 Inorganic Clean- ing Solution for 15 minutes.
TEMPERATURE-RESISTANCE CORRELATION FOR HANNA pH SENSITIVE GLASS The resistance of glass electrodes partially depends on the tempera- ture. The lower the temperature, the higher the resistance. It takes longer for the reading to stabilize if the resistance is higher. In addition, the response time will suffer to a greater degree at temperatures below 10°C.
Page 23
High concentrations of sodium ions interfere with readings in alkaline solutions. The pH at which the interference starts to be significant depends upon the composition of the glass. This interference is the alkaline error and causes the pH to be underestimated. Hanna's glass formulations have the indicated characteristics.
ADDITIONAL CALIBRATION PROCEDURES & INFORMATION (for technical personnel only) TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION Initial Preparation • Prepare a vessel containing ice and water and another one containing hot water (at a temperature of at least 50°C). Place insulation material around the container to minimize tempera- ture changes.

• At the end of the mV calibration, the meter will automatically return to the pH measurement mode. INTERFACE WITH PC (HI 931400 & HI 931401) If you are not using Hanna Instruments HI 92000 application software, please find below some additional information to help you link-up to your PC.
