GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HANNA HI 2300 is a bench microprocessor-based Conductivity/TDS/
NaCl/Temperature meter.
The autoranging feature of the EC and TDS ranges automatically sets the
instrument to the scale with the highest possible resolution.
The conductivity measurements are manually or automatically compensated
for temperature effect, with the temperature sensor inside the conductivity
probe. It is also possible to disable the temperature compensation and measure the actual conductivity.
The temperature coefficient is user selectable.
The instrument is equipped with a stability indicator. With this feature the
user will always know when to record a measurement.
HI 2300 includes also GLP capability and data transfer to a computer
through a RS232 port.
In addition, the meter allows the user to enter an ID code to uniquely identify
the instrument.
Hanna Instruments reserves the right to modify the design,
construction and appearance of its products without advance notice.

CONNECTIONS
Plug the 12 VDC adapter into the power supply socket.
Note: This instrument use non volatile memory to retain the calibration
parameters and all the other settings even when unplugged.
Connect the EC/TDS probe to the 7-pin connector. Tighten the threaded ring.
Make sure the probe sleeve is properly inserted, as shown below:
INSTRUMENT START-UP
• Turn the instrument on by pressing the ON/OFF switch.
• All LCD tags are displayed and a beep is generated while the instrument
performs self test.
TAKING MEASUREMENTS
Immerse the probe into the solution to be tested. The sleeve
holes must be completely submerged. Tap the probe repeatedly to remove any air bubbles that may be trapped inside
the sleeve.
If needed, press RANGE repeatedly until the desired range (EC, TDS, NaCl) is
selected on the LCD (displaying µS[mS], ppm[g/L] or %).
Allow for the reading to stabilize. The upper LCD displays the measurement in
the selected range, while the temperature is displayed on the lower LCD.

Notes:
LOCK
•If the meter displays “----”, the reading is out of range.
•If the stability indicator “~” blinks, the reading is unstable.
•Make sure the meter is calibrated before taking measurements.
•If measurements are taken successively in different samples, for accu-
rate readings it is recommended to rinse the probe thoroughly with
deionized water before immersing it into the samples.
•TDS reading is obtained by multiplying the EC reading by the TDS
factor, which has a default value of 0.50. It is possible to change the
TDS factor in the 0.40 to 0.80 range by entering setup mode and
selecting the “tdS” item (see SETUP for details).
•When the use of an alternate function (SETUP, TC, GLP or CALT) is
requested, press and hold the ALT key first, and then the second key.
AUTORANGING
The EC and TDS scales are autoranging. The meter automatically sets the scale
with the highest possible resolution.
By pressing LOCK, the autoranging feature is disabled and
the current range is frozen on the LCD. “1” tag starts
blinking. To restore the autoranging option press LOCK
again.
Note: Autoranging is automatically restored if the range is changed, if the
setup or calibration modes are entered, or if the meter is turned off and
back on again.
TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
Three options of compensating temperature are available:
Automatic (Atc): The EC probe has a built-in temperature sensor; the
temperature value is used to automatically compensate the EC/TDS reading
(from –9.9 °C to 120.0 °C), using the selected reference temperature.
Manual (Mtc): The temperature value, shown on the secondary LCD, can be
manually set with the ARROW keys. The compensation is referenced at the
selected reference temperature. The “°C” tag blinks when this option is active.
No Compensation (notc): The temperature value shown on the secondary LCD
is not taken into account. The reading displayed on the primary LCD is the actual
EC or TDS value. The “°C” tag blinks when this option is active.
Note: The default compensation mode is ATC.
8
To select the desired option press ATC until the option is

displayed on the LCD.
If temperature compensation is active, measurements are
compensated using the temperature coefficient (default value
1.90 %/°C).
To change the temperature coefficient, enter the setup mode and select the “tc”
item (See SETUP for details, page 14). The current temperature coefficient can be
quickly viewed by pressing ALT+TC keys. The value is briefly displayed on the
secondary LCD.
• If the temperature reading is out of –9.9 °C - 120.0 °C interval and Atc or
Mtc option is selected, the temperature limit range value will be displayed,
together with the “°C” tag blinking and the instrument will do no
temperature compensation.
EC/TDS CALIBRATION
EC calibration is a one-point procedure. Selectable calibration points are:
To enter EC calibration, select the EC range and press CAL.
Note: TDS reading is automatically derived from the EC reading and no
specific calibration for TDS is needed. Pressing CAL when TDS range is
selected has no effect.
Rinse the probe with calibration solution or deionized water.
Immerse the probe into the solution. The sleeve holes must be
completely submerged. Tap the probe repeatedly to remove any
air bubbles that may be trapped inside the sleeve.
For zero calibration, just leave the dry probe in the air.
The “BUF” and “CAL” tags are displayed. The primary LCD displays the
uncalibrated EC reading. The secondary LCD displays the buffer value. The
“~” tag blinks.

Notes:
•If the uncalibrated reading is too far from the expected value or the
temperature value is out of 0 – 60 ºC range, calibration is not recognized.
The “CFM” tag does not appear; the “~” and “BUF” tags blink to signal
wrong or contaminated calibration solution. If the temperature value is out
of 0 – 60 ºC range, the “ºC” tag will also be displayed blinking on the LCD.
•For best results choose an EC buffer value close to the sample to be measured.
•In order to minimize any EMC interferences, use plastic beakers.
•The meter uses 1.90 %/°C compensation factor during calibration. If
the setup item “tc” has been set to a different value, when exiting
calibration mode, the displayed value on the upper LCD might be
different from the nominal buffer value.
•It is possible to set the cell constant value directly, without following the
calibration procedure. To set the cell constant enter the setup mode
and select “CEL” (see SETUP for details).
NaCl CALIBRATION

The conductivity of an aqueous solution is the measure of its ability to carry an
electrical current by means of ionic motion.
The conductivity invariably increases with increasing temperature.
It is affected by the type and number of ions in the solution and by the viscosity
of the solution itself. Both parameters are temperature dependent. The dependency of conductivity on temperature is expressed as a relative change per
Celsius degree at a particular temperature, commonly as percent per ºC.
The following table lists the temperature dependence of the HANNA calibration buffers.

GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is a set of functions that allows storage and
retrieval of data regarding the status of the system.
After a successful calibration, the meter automatically stores the date and time
of calibration, the used calibration solution and the resulting cell constant
value. All this information can be recalled by the user.
To view the last calibration data, select the
desired range (EC or NaCl) and press
ALT+GLP keys.
The first information appearing on the LCD is the meter “id” code.
15
By repeatedly pressing RANGE, GLP data is displayed in the following
