GENERAL DESCRIPTION

HI 222 is a logging microprocessor-based pH/ORP/temperature bench meter
with Calibration Check.

Calibration Check performs a set of diagnostic tests during calibration using the
history of electrode slope and offset to detect problems that can cause loss of
accuracy.

Calibration Check Features are listed below:

• Enhanced Calibration Messages

During calibration the user is warned if one or more parameters are not suitable
to perform an accurate calibration.

• Electrode Condition on LCD Display

Determined from the electrode offset and slope.

• Electrode response time on LCD Display

Determined from electrode performance during calibration.

• Calibration Alarm Time Out

Can be programmed from 1 to 7 days or can be disabled.

Other features include 1 or 2-point pH calibration with seven memorized
buffers (1.68, 3.00, 6.86, 7.01, 9.18, 10.01 and 12.45 pH), logging up to
100 samples, last calibration date and data (GLP), pH reading with manual
or automatic temperature compensation and PC interface software.

The pH 3.00 memorized buffer makes the instrument useful for wine pH
measurements.

OPERATIONAL GUIDE

POWER CONNECTION

Plug the 12 VDC adapter into the power supply socket.
Note: These instruments use non volatile memory to retain the pH, mV,

temperature calibrations and all other settings, even when unplugged.

Note: Make sure a fuse protects the mains line.

ELECTRODE AND PROBE CONNECTIONS

For HANNA P Type pH or ORP electrodes (with internal reference) connect the
electrode’s BNC to the socket on the back of the instrument and the pin to the
appropriate socket.

Note: Electrode condition and response information is displayed on the bar

graph gauges. During the day the calibration is performed only if
HANNA P type (PIN) electrodes are used.

If the electrode is not recognized as a HANNA P type electrode, the bar
graph gauges will blink (25 seconds OFF, 4 seconds ON, full bar graph).

For temperature measurement and automatic temperature compensation
connect the temperature probe to the appropriate socket.

INSTRUMENT START-UP

• Turn the instrument on by pressing the ON/OFF switch.

pH MEASUREMENT

Make sure the instrument has been calibrated before
taking pH measurements.

• Submerge the tip (4 cm/1½”) of a properly condi-

tioned electrode (see page 31) and the tempera­ture probe into the sample to be tested. Allow time
for the electrode to stabilize.

If measurements are taken successively in different samples, it is recommended
to rinse the electrode thoroughly with deionized water or tap water and then
with some of the next sample to prevent cross-contamination.

The pH reading is affected by temperature. In order to measure the pH
accurately, this temperature effect must be compensated for. To use the
Automatic Temperature Compensation feature, connect
and submerge the HI 7669/2W temperature probe into

the sample as close to the electrode as possible and wait
for a few minutes.

If the temperature of the sample is known, manual compensation can be
performed by disconnecting the temperature probe.

The display will then show the default temperature of 25 °C

or the last recorded temperature reading with the “°C”
symbol blinking.

The temperature can now be adjusted with the ARROW keys (from -20.0 ºC
to 120.0 ºC).

ORP MEASUREMENTS

An optional ORP electrode must be used to perform ORP measurements (see
Accessories).

Oxidation-Reduction Potential (REDOX) measurements provide the quantifica­tion of the oxidizing or reducing power of the tested sample.

To correctly perform a REDOX measurement, the surface of the ORP electrode
must be clean and smooth. Pretreatment solutions are available to condition
the electrode and speed up the response time.

• The instrument automatically defaults to the ORP

measurement mode if HANNA P type ORP electrode
is detected.

• Submerge the ORP electrode tip (4 cm/1½”) into the

sample. Allow a few minutes for the reading to sta­bilize.

• The instrument displays the mV reading on the primary LCD.

• If the reading is out of range, the closest full-scale value will be displayed

blinking on the primary LCD.

TAKING TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS

Connect the HI 7669/2W temperature probe and turn the
instrument on. Dip the temperature probe into the sample and
allow the reading on the secondary LCD to stabilize.

pH CALIBRATION

Calibrate the instrument frequently, especially if high accuracy is required. For
best results and constant display of electrode condition and electrode response
on the bar graph gauges we suggest at least a daily calibration.

The instrument should be re-calibrated:

• Whenever the pH electrode is replaced.

• At least once a day.

• After testing aggressive chemicals.

• If high accuracy is required.

• If CAL DUE message is displayed during measurement.

Every time you calibrate the instrument use fresh buffers and perform an
electrode cleaning procedure (see page 31).

PREPARATION

Pour small quantities of the buffer solutions into clean beakers. If possible, use
plastic or glass beakers to minimize any EMC interferences.

For accurate calibration and to minimize cross-contamination, use two beakers
for each buffer solution. One for rinsing the electrode and one for calibration.

8

PROCEDURE

The user has a choice of 7 memorized buffers: pH 1.68, 3.00, 6.86, 7.01,

9.18, 10.01 and 12.45.

It is always recommended to perform a two-point calibration. The instrument
however allows a one-point calibration, as described on page 10.

TWO-POINT CALIBRATION

For most applications it is recommended that pH 7.01 or 6.86 buffers to be
used as the first calibration point and pH 3.00 (for acidic samples) or pH

9.18/10.01 (for alkaline samples) as the second calibration point.

Note: The pH 12.45 buffer is not for general measurement; use only if the

sample is very alkaline to avoid sodium error.

• Immerse the pH electrode and the temperature probe approximately
4 cm (1½”) into the buffer solution of your choice (pH 1.68, 3.00,

6.86, 7.01, 9.18, 10.01 or 12.45) and stir gently. The temperature
probe should be close to the pH electrode.

• Press the CAL key. “CAL” and “pH” tags will be on, and the “CLEAR
CAL if new electrode” tag will blink.

CAL

CLEAR CAL if new electrode

pH

• Press the CLR key if you are using a new electrode or want to clear the
calibration history. The instrument will display the “donE” message for
a few seconds.

It is very important to clear the calibration history when a new electrode is
used because all error and warning messages that appear during calibration
depend on the calibration history.

• Press the CAL key or wait a few seconds to continue.

Note: The above behavior appears only if calibration history is not empty.

• The instrument will display the measured pH on the primary LCD, and
the most common buffer (“7.01”) on the secondary LCD, along with
“CAL”, “pH” and “BUFFER 1” tags.

• The “ ” tag will blink until the reading has stabilized.

• If necessary, press the ARROW keys to select a different buffer value.

Note: The instrument will automatically skip the buffer used for the first point.

It also skips 6.86 if 7.01 was used, and vice versa. Likewise, it will skip

9.18 if 10.01 has been used, and vice versa.

• Rinse the electrode in one of the beakers of the second buffer solution, then
immerse the pH electrode and the temperature probe approximately 4 cm
(1½”) into the second buffer solution and stir gently. The temperature
probe should be close to the pH electrode.

• The “ ” indication will blink on LCD until the reading has stabilized.

• When the reading is stable and close to the selected buffer, the
“CFM” tag will blink.

• Press the CFM key to confirm the calibration.

The instrument will return to normal operational mode and will memorize the
calibration data.

Note: Press the RANGE key any time during calibration to display the

ENHANCED CALIBRATION MESSAGES

The stored calibration history to used issue error and warning messages during
calibration to help ensure the highest accuracy.

As electrode aging is normally a slow process, substantial changes from
previous calibrations are likely due to a temporary problem with the electrode
or buffers. Calibrating under these conditions will give measurement errors.

ERROR MESSAGES

Error messages appear if one or all of the calibration parameters are out of
accepted windows. When these messages are displayed calibration cannot be
confirmed.

WRONG BUFFER

This message appears when the difference between the pH reading and the
value of the selected buffer is too big. If this error message is displayed, check
if you have selected the proper calibration buffer.

CAL

WRONG

BUFFER

CLEAN ELECTRODE

This error message indicates a bad electrode condition (offset out of accepted
window, or slope under the accepted lower limit).

Clean the electrode according to the Cleaning Procedure on page 31 to
improve its condition and repeat the calibration. This ensures the removal of
film, dirt or deposits on the glass bulb and reference junction.

ELECTRODE CONDITION &

ELECTRODE RESPONSE TIME

When using HI 1048P electrode, HI 222 will assess electrode condition and
response time during each calibration and will display the calibration status
for the rest of the day.

POOR GOOD

SLOW

FAST

The digital gauge for electrode condition is a representation of the offset and
slope performance of the electrode. The response gauge is a function of the
stabilization time between the first and second calibration buffers. These
gauges reflect electrode performance and should be expected to slowly de­crease over the life of the electrode.
The condition and response gauges show the electrode’s condition at the time
of calibration only and are displayed for the rest of the day the calibration is
performed. For a continuous display of electrode condition at the time of
calibration, daily calibration is necessary. The condition and response are also
visible when viewing GLP data.
If the instrument is not calibrated, it has been calibrated only at one point,
the two-point calibration was not performed using pH 7.01 and pH 3.00
buffers, or if the calibration history was deleted, the electrode condition and
response gauges will be empty.

13

SLOW

FAST

POOR GOOD

Also, when the instrument cannot evaluate the electrode response or pH 1.68 or
pH 12.45 buffer were used as calibration buffer, the response gauge will be empty.
If the electrode is in a very poor condition the first condition segment will blink.
If electrode response is very slow the first response segment will blink.

GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE (GLP)

GLP is a set of functions that allows the storage and retrieval of data regarding
the maintenance and status of the electrode.

All data regarding the last calibration (one or two points) is stored for the user
to review when necessary. This data includes the following: calibration time
stamp, offset (in mV), slope (in mV/pH), electrode condition and response
gauges, calibration buffers and the amount of time until a new calibration is
required.

CALIBRATION ALARM TIME-OUT

HI 222 allows the user to set the number of days before the next required pH
calibration. This value can be set from 1 to 7 days. The default value is OFF
(disabled).

The instrument checks if the time-out time has expired. If the time has
elapsed, the CAL DUE will blink as a reminder.

Note: If the instrument was not calibrated, or if the calibration history was

deleted, the CAL DUE message will be displayed even if this feature is
disabled in the SETUP menu.

If the instrument was calibrated using an electrode with pin and the
electrode is changed with an electrode without pin or vice-versa CAL
DUE will blink. This feature helps ensure use of a calibrated instru­ment.

LAST CALIBRATION DATA

Last calibration data is stored automatically after a successful calibration.
To view the pH calibration data, press the GLP key when the instrument is in

pH measuring mode.
The instrument will display the time of the last calibration.
Press the ARROW keys to view the following logged calibration parameters

(pressing the / ºC key):

• The time (hh:mm).

TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION

(for technical personnel only)

The instruments are factory calibrated for temperature.
Hanna’s temperature probes are interchangeable and temperature calibra-

tion is not necessary when replaced.
If the temperature measurements are not accurate, temperature recalibration

should be performed.
For an accurate recalibration, contact your dealer or the nearest Hanna

Customer Service Center, or follow the instructions below.

• Switch off the instrument.

• Prepare a vessel containing ice and water and another one containing hot
water (around 50 °C). Place insulation material around the vessels to
minimize temperature changes during calibration.

• Use a ChecktempC or a calibrated thermometer with a resolution of 0.1 °C
as a reference thermometer.

• Immerse the temperature probe and the ChecktempC into the vessel
containing ice and water. Wait a few minutes for the probe to stabilize.

• Press the CAL and LOG keys simultaneously and then switch the instru­ment on. After a few seconds, the instrument enters the temperature
calibration mode. The “CAL” tag will come on. The primary LCD will
display the measured temperature or the ”- - - -” message if the
measured temperature is out of range. The secondary LCD will display 0.0 °C

(First calibration point). The “ ”tag will blink until the reading has
stabilized.

• Use the ARROW keys to set the reading on the secondary LCD to that of
ice and water measured by ChecktempC (for example, -0.1 °C).

CAL

-0.1°C

• When the reading is stable and close to the selected calibration point, the
“CFM” tag will blink.

• Press the CFM key to confirm the calibration or the CAL key to leave the
calibration mode.

• The secondary LCD will display 50.0 °C (Second calibration point).

• Immerse the temperature probe and the ChecktempC into the second
vessel.

• Allow a few minutes for the probe to stabilize.

25

• The “ ” tag will blink until the reading has stabilized.

• Use the ARROW keys to set the reading on the secondary LCD to that of
the hot water bath.

• When the reading is stable and close to the selected calibration point, the
“CFM” tag will blink.

• Press the CFM key to confirm the calibration or the CAL key to leave the
calibration mode.

Note: If the measured value is not close enough to the displayed value on

secondary LCD, the “WRONG “ tag will blink. In this case, check if the
value set on secondary LCD and the temperature measured with
ChecktempC are close. Change the temperature probe and restart
calibration if necessary.

26

mV CALIBRATION

(for technical personnel only)

All instruments are factory calibrated for mV.
Hanna’s pH and ORP electrodes are interchangeable and mV calibration is

not needed when replaced.
If mV measurements are not accurate, mV recalibration should be carried out.
For an accurate recalibration, contact your dealer or the nearest Hanna

Customer Service Center or follow the instructions below.
A two or three point calibration can be performed at 0 mV, +600 mV and

+1800 mV.

• Switch off the instrument.

• Attach a mV simulator with an accuracy of at least ±0.1 mV to the BNC
connector.

• Press the RCL and CFM/GLP keys simultaneously and switch the instru­ment on. After a few seconds, the instrument enters the mV calibration
mode.

• The primary LCD will show the “CAL” and “mV” tags along with mea­sured mV and the secondary LCD will display 0.0 calibration point.

• Set 0.0 mV on the simulator.

• The “ ” tag will blink on LCD until the reading has stabilized.

• When the reading is stable, the “CFM” tag will blink.

• Press the CFM key to confirm the calibration.

• The instrument will prompt for a second calibration point and will display
600 on the secondary LCD line.

• Set the simulator to +600.0 mV.

• The “ ” tag will blink on the LCD until the reading has stabilized.

• When the reading is stable, the “CFM” tag will start to blink.

• Press the CFM key to confirm the calibration.

• The instrument will prompt for a third calibration point and will display
1800 on the secondary LCD line.

• The two-point mV calibration is now complete.

• Set +1800.0 mV on the simulator.

• The “ ” tag will blink on the LCD until the reading has stabilized.

• When the reading is stable, the “CFM” tag will start to blink.

• Press the CFM key to confirm the calibration.

• The instrument will memorize the calibration and return to measuring
mode.

27

Note: Press the CAL key to leave the calibration mode at any time.

If the measured value is not close to the calibration point, the “WRONG“
tag will start to blink. In this case, check if the value set on the
simulator is the same as the calibration value on the instrument. Set
the proper value on the simulator.

PC INTERFACE

Data transmission from the instrument to the PC can be done with HI 92000
Windows® compatible software (optional). The HI 92000 also offers graphing
and on-line help.

Data can also be exported to the most popular spreadsheet programs for
further analysis.

To connect your instrument to a PC, use the optional Hanna HI 920010 cable.
Make sure that your instrument is switched off and plug one end into the
instrument’s RS232 socket and the other end into the serial port of your PC.

Note: Cables other than HI 920010 may use a different configuration, in

which case communication between the instrument and the PC may
not be possible.

If you are not using optional Hanna HI 92000 software, please see the
following instructions.

The Command Prefix must be 16 when using HI 92000 software.

SENDING COMMANDS FROM PC

It is also possible to remotely control the instrument with any terminal pro­gram. Use the optional Hanna HI 920010 cable to connect the instrument to
a PC, start the terminal program and set the communication options as
follows: 8, N, 1, no flow control.

COMMAND TYPES

To send a command to the pH meter the scheme is:

<command prefix> <command> <CR>

where: <command prefix> is a selectable ASCII character

between 0 and 47 (default 16).
<command> is the command code (3 characters).

Note: Either small or capital letters can be used.

ELECTRODE CONDITIONING

& MAINTENANCE

PREPARATION

Remove the protective cap.
DO NOT BE ALARMED IF SALT DEPOSITS ARE PRESENT. This is normal with

electrodes. 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. These bubbles can be removed by “shak­ing down” the electrode as you would do with a glass thermometer.

If the bulb and/or junction is dry condition the electrode by soaking it in
HI 70300 or HI 80300 storage solution for at least one hour.

31

For Refillable Electrodes:

If the filling solution (electrolyte) is more than 2½ cm (1") below the fill hole,
add HI 7082 or HI 8082 3.5M KCl Electrolyte Solution for double junction or
HI 7071 or HI 8071 3.5M KCl+AgCl Electrolyte Solution for single junction
electrodes using a plastic refilling pipette (HI 740157).

As recommended by the LCD message on instrument on start-up, remove or
loosen the fill hole screw on the electrode for better performance.

STORAGE

To minimize clogging and assure a quick response time, the glass bulb and
the junction should be kept moist and not allowed to dry out.

Replace the solution in the protective cap with a few drops of HI 70300 or
HI 80300 Storage Solution or, in its absence, Filling Solution (HI 7071 or
HI 8071 for single junction or HI 7082 or HI 8082 for double junction

electrodes). Follow the Preparation Procedure on page 31 before taking
measurements.

Note: NEVER STORE THE ELECTRODE IN DISTILLED OR DEIONIZED WATER.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Inspect the electrode and the cable. The cable used for connection to the
instrument must be intact and there must be no points of broken insulation on
the cable or cracks on the electrode stem or bulb. Connectors must be perfectly
clean and dry. If any scratches or cracks are present, replace the electrode.
Rinse off any salt deposits with water.

For Refillable Electrodes:

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) using a
plastic refilling pipette (HI 740157). Allow the electrode to stand upright for
1 hour.

Follow the Storage Procedure above.

CLEANING PROCEDURES

• General Soak in HI 7061 (or HI 8061) General Cleaning Solution

for approximately 30 minutes.

• Protein Soak in HI 7073 (or HI 8073) Protein Cleaning Solution

for 15 minutes.

• Inorganic Soak in HI 7074 (or HI 8074) Inorganic Cleaning

Solution for 15 minutes.

• Oil/grease Rinse with HI 7077 (or HI 8077) Oil and Fat Cleaning

Solution for approx. 30 seconds.

32

IMPORTANT:

After performing any of the cleaning procedures, rinse the electrode thoroughly
with distilled water, refill the reference chamber with fresh electrolyte (not
necessary for gel-filled electrodes) and soak the electrode in HI 70300 or HI
80300 Storage Solution for at least 1 hour before taking measurements.

TEMPERATURE CORRELATION

FOR pH SENSITIVE GLASS

The resistance of glass electrodes partially depends on the temperature. The
lower the temperature, the higher the resistance. It takes more time for the
reading to stabilize if the resistance is higher. In addition, the response time
will suffer to a greater degree at temperatures below 25 °C.

Since the resistance of the pH electrode is in the range of 50-200 Mohm
depending on the composition of the glass, the current across the membrane
is in the pico-Ampere range. Large currents can disturb the calibration of the
electrode for many hours. For these reasons high humidity environments, short
circuits and static discharges are detrimental to a stable pH reading.
The pH electrode’s life also depends on the temperature. If constantly used at
high temperatures, the electrode life is drastically reduced.

Typical Electrode Life: Ambient Temperature 1- 3 years

90 °C Less than 4 months
120 °C Less than 1 month

Alkaline Error:

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 called alkaline error and causes
the pH to be underestimated. Hanna’s glass formulations have the indicated
characteristics.
