INITIAL PREPARATION Each meter is supplied complete with batteries. Remove the back cover, unwrap the batteries and install them while paying attention to the polarity. Alternatively, connect the HI 710005 or HI 710006 voltage adapter to the power adapter plug. To prepare the instrument for use, choose the most appropriate tem- perature probe for your application (see accessories) and connect it to the connector located on the top of the instrument.
S E T U P M O D E Setup can be used to view data regarding the instrument status (e.g. battery charge) or GLP data (e.g. calibration date) or to view or print the logged data. It also allows the user to change the meter parameters (e.g.

Note: The Sample ID is stored in the log memory as a 14 digit hexadecimal code. Only the last 6 digits will be displayed on the LCD: two (the least significant) on the lower LCD, and the next four on the upper LCD. Example: If the Sample ID is 010000012C354B: If the Sample ID code is null: Also only the last six digits will be printed on a single printer line.

DELETE LOGGED DATA • Select code 05 to delete the Log on Demand data or code 06 to delete the Timed Log Data. • A scrolling message will be displayed. • Press ALT and CFM to confirm deletion. • It is also possible to escape without data deletion pressing ALT and FNC.
TAKING TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS To prepare the instrument for use, choose the most appropriate temperature probe for your application (see accessories) and connect it to the connector located on the top of the instrument. All the probes have been factory precalibrated and no calibration is needed.
P R I N T I N G / L O G G I N G F U N C T I O N S Two different modes to print / log data are available: 1. Timed Logging; samples are stored and printed (if print function is active) at fixed time intervals.

low battery condition, the message "bAtt" will appear for a few seconds on the LCD. Note: When an external adapter or new batteries are connected, the printing must be manually enabled in order to return to logging with printing mode. LOG ON DEMAND In measuring or timed log mode, press LOG to store the current reading.

GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE (GLP) GLP is a set of functions that allows the storage or retrieval (when necessary) of data regarding the maintenance and status of the meter. LAST CALIBRATION DATE Last calibration date is stored automatically after a successful calibra- tion.
DATA TRANSFER TO PC HI 98811 contains infrared transmitting circuitry. Ensure there isn't any logging process active. Press TEMP/TIME to set the meter to time or date mode and simply place your data-logger on a HI 9200 Infrared Transmitter (ensuring...

PRINTER MAINTENANCE CHANGE THE INK CARTRIDGE When printouts become faint, it might be necessary to change the ink cartridge. Contact your Hanna authorized center. INSERT THE PAPER ROLL The meters use plain paper rolls, 38 mm width. To insert a new roll open the paper cover pulling it gently and take the cylinder...
BATTERY REPLACEMENT When the batteries are inserted and no power adapter is connected, the meter can recognize different batteries charge levels. 1. Fully charged batteries. The backlight and printer can be enabled. 2. Weakening batteries - "LOBAT" symbol blinks on LCD. The backlight and printer are automatically disabled and it is not possible to enable them until new batteries are inserted or an external power adapter is connected.

UN-HOUSED NTC SENSORS Often it is necessary to "customize" testing to meet specific criteria in the laboratory. For this reason, Hanna offers a wide line of NTC Thermistor sensors that can be custom mounted in almost any situation. Select the sensor that matches your application, attach it to the RCA adaptor and plug it into the meter.
