Dear Customer, Thank you for choosing a Hanna product. This manual will provide you with the necessary information for the correct use of the instrument. Please read it carefully before using the meter. If you need additional technical information, do not hesitate to e-mail us at tech@hannainst.com. This instrument is in compliance with directives.
Any defective item must be returned in its original packing. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HI 84102 is a low cost, easy to use, microprocessor-based automatic titrator that benefits from Hanna’s years of experience as manufacturer of analytical instruments. It has an simple and yet accurate peristaltic pump to ensure the best accuracy and repeatability. By performing pump calibration with the provided Hanna standards, the instrument accuracy is assured.

By simply pressing the START STOP button, the instrument will automatically make the titration up to the end point. The result is immediately displayed in convenient units, then the instrument is ready for another titration. SIGNIFICANCE OF USE Acids occur naturally during the growing of grapes and as part of the fermentation process. Wines show lower levels of acid when there are hot growing seasons or when the grapes come from hotter regions.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The determination of total acids in wine is made according to a neutralization reaction, that is the reaction between the acids found in wine and a base. This type of reaction forms the basis of titration methods of analysing acids. Titratable acidity is measured on a degassed sample at the end-point of 8.20 for Australian requirements and 7.00 to fulfil the requirements of the European Union.

This error message appears when the standard solution is wrong. This error message appears when the input readings (pH, temperature) exceed the input limits. pH CALIBRATION MESSAGES This screen appears each time the titrator enters pH calibration mode. This screen appears when the pH calibration is started by pressing the START STOP button.
TITRATION MESSAGES This screen appears each time the minititrator enters TITRATION mode. Press the START STOP button in order to stop the titration and return to the main screen. The titration result, expressed as concentration of tartaric acid in g/L, is displayed at the end of the titration process.
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE Warning: Make sure the instrument has been calibrated (pH and pump calibration) before performing a wine sample analysis. • Use the 2000 µL automatic pipette to add exactly 2 mL of wine sample to the 50 mL beaker. •...
It is recommended to perform the pump calibration before each set of measurements. • To prepare the sample for calibration, follow the measurement procedure for Total Titratable Acidity measurements by using HI 84102-55 Total Titratable Acidity Standard instead of wine sample. • After sample preparation, press the CAL PUMP button.
• Press START STOP in order to start the pump calibration. • At the end of the calibration procedure done appears for a few seconds and then the meter automatically returns to measurement mode. PUMP TUBE REPLACEMENT To remove the tube of the peristaltic pump follow next steps: •...
FUSE REPLACEMENT To change the fuse follow next steps: • Disconnect the power cord from the rear panel of the instrument. • Pull out the fuse holder located near the power cord connector. • Replace the fuse with a similar one. •...

If the filling solution (electrolyte) is more than 2½ cm (1”) below the fill hole, add HI 7082 3.5M KCl Electrolyte Solution. For faster response, unscrew the fill hole screw during measurements. STORAGE PROCEDURE To minimize clogging and assure a quick response time, the glass bulb and the junction of the electrode should be kept moist and not allowed to dry out.
