Setup Mode - Hanna Instruments HI 98140 Instruction Manual

SETUP MODE

Setup can be used to view data regarding instrument status (e.g.
battery charge) or to change the meter parameters (e.g. time).
• To enter this mode press the ALT and
FNC keys when the meter is in measure-
ment mode.
• The setup code "00" will blink on the
lower LCD and "Set" will be displayed on
the upper one.
• Select the code of the desired
parameter using the or
key.
• Press ALT and CFM to confirm the
code.
Note: If ALT and FNC are pressed before code confirmation, the meter
will default to measurement mode.
• If the selected parameter is password protected, the lower LCD will
display "PAS" and the password must be entered to proceed.
Otherwise, the current parameter value will be displayed.
PASSWORD PROTECTION
Setting of time, date and calibration alarm time-out are password
protected and the user will be asked to enter the password to change
these parameters. After code confirmation the upper LCD will display
"0000".
• If password is set to 0000 (factory setting), just press ALT and
CFM to confirm.
• If password is set to a value different from 0000, enter the
password with the up and down arrow keys and then press ALT
and CFM to confirm.
• If password is incorrect the meter displays the "WRONG" indication
and asks for the password again.
• If password is correct, the meter provides access to the parameter.

PARAMETER SETTINGS
• Once the parameter code (and password
if needed) has been entered, the current
value of the selected parameter on the
upper LCD and the parameter code on
the lower LCD will be displayed. The parameter or a part of it will
blink (e.g. only the hour blinks if time has been selected).
• Enter the new value using the arrow keys.
• If there is another part of the parameter to be set (e.g. minutes
for the time), press RANGE to gain access and then enter the new
value using the arrow keys.
• Press ALT and CFM to confirm the value.
• If the entered value is not acceptable, the "WRONG" indication
will be displayed for a few seconds and then the meter will ask for
a correct value.
• If the confirmed value is accepted, the meter will pass to the next
parameter (asking for the password if it is protected).
Note: If ALT and FNC are pressed before parameter value confirma-
tion, the meter will not update the parameter and after
escaping will ask for a new setup code.
