Electrical equipment marked with this symbol may not be disposed of in European domestic or public disposal systems. Return old or end­of-life equipment to the manufacturer for disposal at no charge to the user.
Product overview
The HQd series portable meters are used with digital IntelliCAL™ probes to measure various parameters in water. The meter automatically recognizes the type of probe that is connected to the meter. Measurement data can be stored and transferred to a printer, PC or USB storage device.
The HQd series meters are available in 4 models:
• HQ11d—pH/mV/ORP
• HQ14d—conductivity, salinity, total dissolved solids (TDS), resistivity
• HQ30d—all IntelliCAL probes, 1 probe connector
• HQ40d—all IntelliCAL probes, 2 probe connectors
Features common to all models:
• Automatic probe and parameter recognition
• Instrument guided calibration procedures
• Calibration data stored in the probe
• Probe specific method settings for regulatory compliance and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)
• Security Options
• Real-time data logging via USB connection
• USB connectivity to PC/printer/USB storage device/keyboard
• Bi-directional communication with PC-based systems via a virtual serial port connection
• Sample ID and Operator ID for data traceability
• Adjustable automatic shut-off

Installation
C A U T I O N
Multiple hazards. Only qualified personnel must conduct the tasks described in this section of the document.
Install the batteries
W A R N I N G
Explosion hazard. Incorrect battery installation can cause the release of explosive gases. Be sure that the batteries are of the same approved chemical type and are inserted in the correct orientation. Do not mix new and used batteries.
N O T I C E
The battery compartment is not waterproof. If the battery compartment becomes wet, remove and dry the batteries and dry the interior of the compartment. Check the battery contacts for corrosion and clean them if necessary.
N O T I C E
When using nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, the battery icon will not indicate a full charge after freshly charged batteries have been inserted (NiMH batteries are 1.2 V versus 1.5 V for alkaline batteries). Even though the icon does not indicate complete charge, 2300 mAH NiMH batteries will achieve 90% of instrument operation lifetime (before recharge) versus new alkaline batteries.
N O T I C E
To avoid potential damage to the meter from battery leakage, remove the meter batteries prior to extended periods of non-use.
The meter can be powered with AA alkaline or rechargeable NiMH batteries. To conserve battery life, the meter will power off after 5 minutes of inactivity. This time can be changed in the Display Options menu.
For battery installation refer to Figure 3.

Connect to AC power
D A N G E R
Electrocution Hazard. AC power outlets in wet or potentially wet locations MUST ALWAYS be provided with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupting (GFCI/GFI) circuit breaker. The AC-DC power adapter for this product is not sealed and must not be used on wet benches or in wet locations without GFCI protection.
The meter can be powered by AC power with an AC power adapter kit. The kit includes an AC-DC power supply, USB/DC adapter and AC power cord.
1. Turn the meter off.
2. Plug the AC power cord into the AC-DC power supply (Figure 4).
3. Connect the AC-DC power supply to the USB/DC adapter.
4. Connect the USB/DC adapter to the meter.
5. Plug the AC power cord into an AC receptacle.
6. Turn the meter on.
