INSTALLATION

Refer to diagram on page #9

12

• Input power: Connect a 3-wire power cable
to the terminal strip line (L), earth (PE) and
neutral (N) terminal connections.

Power: 100VAC-120mA / 115VAC-100mA / 230VAC-50mA.

Line Contact: 400mA fuse inside.

PE must be connected to ground; leakage current 1mA.

• Electrode: Connect the pH or ORP electrode to the BNC
socket (#1 at page 9).
To benefit from the differential (symmetrical) input, connect
the proper electrode wire (if available) or a cable with a
potential matching pin (grounding bar) to the relevant ter­minal (#2 at page 9) and enable the differential input
through the setup code I.04.

Note When it is not possible to immerse the Potential Matching Pin

together with the pH electrode in the solution (asymmetrical
input), disable the differential input through the setup code I.04.

In this case, detach the Potential Matching Pin from its con­nector. Failure to do so may cause damage of the reference
electrode.

• Pt 100/Pt 1000 Terminals: these contacts (#4 at page 9)

connect the Pt 100/Pt 1000 temperature sensor for auto­matic temperature compensation of pH measurement. In
the case of shielded wire, connect the shield to pin 4.
In the case of a 2-wire sensor con­nect the Pt 100/Pt 1000 to pins 1
and 3, and short pins 2 and 3 with
a jumper wire.
If the Pt 100/Pt 1000 has more than
2 wires, connect the two wires of
one end to pins 2 and 3 (pin 2 is
an auxiliary input to compensate
for the cable resistance) and one
wire from the other end to pin 1.
Leave the fourth wire unconnected, if present.

Note The instrument automatically recognizes the sensor type (Pt

100 or Pt 1000).

• Analog Outputs: when using shielded cable, if the shield
is not connected at the other end of the cable, then con­nect it to the “+” terminal, otherwise leave it floating.

Note All cables connected to rear panel should end with cable lugs.
Note A circuit breaker (rated 10A max.) must be connected in

close proximity to the equipment, and in a position easy to
reach by the operator, for disconnection of the instrument
and of all the devices connected to the relays.

CALIBRATION MODE

The calibration mode allows to calibrate the pH/ORP input,
temperature input and 4-20 mA analog outputs.

The controller is factory calibrated for all these parameters.
Periodical calibration of the instrument is recommended, in
particular when greatest accuracy is required and at least bi­yearly.

It is possible to calibrate the electrode over only one point,
but it is always good practice to perform a 2-point calibra­tion.

To enter the calibration mode press the CAL key.

Enter the correct password and press the CFM key. If a wrong
password is entered, the instrument returns to the previous
mode.

Note If the meter is set as an ORP controller (setup item G.00), the

pH calibration, pH reading offset adjustment, and pH offset
and slope are not available. If the meter is selected as a pH
controller, no ORP calibration can be selected.

Note Any calibration procedure can be aborted at any time by

pressing the CAL key, and the instrument returns to the previ­ous mode.

14

The pH/ORP controller can be calibrated through a one­point or two-point calibration.

The pH calibration can not be performed if the pH electrode
is broken or leaking or the reference electrode is broken or
dirty and an error is active. The ORP calibration can not be
performed if the “Reference electrode broken or dirty” error is
active. For pH calibration the temperature probe should be
connected to the process meter.

All calibrations refer to the process controller. No calibration
for the Digital Transmitter can be performed by the process
controller, but the Digital Transmitter Calibrator must be used
for that.

pH CALIBRATION

Initial Preparation

The pH and ORP calibrations can not be initiated while the
process controller is configurated to take measurements from
the Digital Transmitter.

It is recommended to perform pH calibration when the probe
is replaced and after any cleaning action.

To perform any pH calibration procedure, the instrument has
to be set as pH controller.

Pour small quantities of pH 7.01 (HI 7007) and pH 4.01
(HI 7004) or pH 10.01 (HI 7010) solutions into individual
beakers. If possible, use plastic beakers to minimize any EMC
interference.

For accurate calibration use different beakers for each buffer
solution, the first one for rinsing the electrode and the second
one for calibration. By doing this, contamination between
buffers is minimized.

• Enter the calibration mode, select the pH calibration (by
moving through the menu with the  and  keys), then
press the CFM key.

• Choose the pH buffer set between the two available ones:
the standard set (4.01, 7.01, 10.01) and the NIST set (4.01,

6.86, 9.18). For the standard set confirm the “Std”; for the
NIST set confirm the “niSt” (use the  and  keys for select
between the two options).

Two-point calibration

Note The electrode should be submerged ap-

Note When it is not possible to immerse the Potential Matching Pin

The default buffer set is the one used for last calibration,

even if the procedure was not completed.

• Once confirmed the set of buffer val­ues, the primary LCD shows the
measured pH value, while the second­ary LCD displays the first required buffer
value.

• Remove the protective cap from the pH
electrode and immerse it into the buffer
solution (e.g. pH 7.01) together with
the Potential Matching Pin and the tem­perature probe, then stir gently.

proximately 4 cm (11/2’’) in the solution.
The temperature probe has to be located
as close as possible to the pH electrode.

together with the pH electrode in the solution, disable the
differential input by setting setup item I.04 to “OFF”.

• When the reading becomes stable, the
probe indicator will stop flashing (after
about 30 seconds), and if the pH value
is close to the selected buffer, the
“CFM” indicator will start blinking, oth­erwise the “WRONG” indicator, the pot
and the BUF tags will start blinking.

• In the first case press the CFM key to confirm calibration.
The meter will show the scrolling message “Press CFM again
to confirm the current buffer or right to escape” (to prevent
from confirming the calibration point inadvertently).

16

Pressing again CFM, the secondary LCD will display the

second expected buffer value.

• In the second case (pH value not close to the buffer) the
meter will remain in the same state until the reading be­comes unstable or the calibration mode is quitted.

• For the second buffer value it is possible to choose be­tween pH 4.01 and pH 10.01 (or pH 4.01 and pH 9.18 if
the NIST set has been selected). Use the  or  key to
switch between the two possibilities.

• Once selected the buffer, the procedure is the same as for
the first calibration point.

Note A time-out of 1.5 minutes is present for the pH electrode

response time. During calibration, if the pH reading is not
stable after 1.5 minutes, the device displays twice the scroll­ing message “time-out”, then shows “WRONG” and it is not
possible to complete calibration.

• At the end of calibration, with the meter set as pH control­ler, the instrument checks if the offset is between -30 and
30 mV and the slope between 53.5 and 62 mV/pH. If the
values are not within these ranges, the message “OLd
ProbE” scrolls twice across the LCD. The electrode is still
working, but it is necessary to perform a cleaning proce­dure (see “Electrode conditioning and maintenance” and
“In-line Cleaning” sections) or replace it.

If the offset is outside the -60 to 60 mV range, the “dEAd

ProbE” message will scroll across the LCD and the corre­sponding error is activated. The electrode has to be replaced
as soon as possible because there is no reliability on the
measured pH values.

One-point calibration

A one-point calibration at a value different from the standard
buffer values is possible by entering the desired calibration
value. This is the actual pH value at the current calibration
temperature.

• Enter the pH calibration mode (no matter if the standard or
NIST buffer set is selected), then press the
SETUP key while the secondary LCD is dis­playing the first buffer value (pH 7.01 or pH

6.86).

17

Note If SETUP key is pressed instead of CFM, the calibration value

ORP CALIBRATION

• The pH calibration value will switch
to 7.00, the first digit starts blinking
and it is possible to change its value
simply using the  or  key.

• Once selected the first digit value, press the  key: the first
digit will be fixed and the second one will start blinking.
Pressing of the  key repeatedly will result on circularly
moving on the secondary LCD.

• When the desired calibration value is reached (must be
within 0.00 to 16.00 pH), press the CFM key to confirm
and the calibration will proceed as described above.

• If the selected value is outside boundaries, the confirma­tion is not accepted and the first digit keeps blinking (waiting
for confirmation of a valid value).

selection is aborted and the meter reverts back to a two-point
calibration.

To perform ORP calibration it is necessary to connect an HI
931001 or HI 8427 simulator to the BNC socket.

The meter has to be set as ORP controller.

18

• Set item I.04 to “OFF” to disable the Matching Pin.

• A two-point calibration has to be performed: the first point
value is 0 mV and the second one can be chosen between
350 mV and 1900 mV.

• Enter the calibration mode, select the ORP calibration (use
the  and  keys to move through setup menu) and press
the CFM key.

• Set the HI 931001 or HI 8427 simulator to 0 mV.

• The primary LCD will display the cur­rent mV measure and the secondary
LCD will show the first calibration
point (0 mV).

• When the reading becomes stable, if the ORP value is
close to the calibration point, the “CFM” indicator starts
blinking; otherwise the “WRONG” indicator blinks and
the “CAL” is fixed on.

• In the first case press CFM to confirm calibration. The
meter will proceed showing the scrolling message “Press
CFM again to confirm the current buffer or right to es­cape” (to prevent from confirming the calibration point
inadvertently). Pressing again CFM the secondary LCD will
display the second calibration point.

• In the second case (blinking “WRONG”) the meter will
remain in the WRONG state until the reading becomes
unstable or the calibration mode is exited by pressing the
CAL key.

• For the second calibration point it is possible to choose
between 350 mV or 1900 mV. Pressing the  or  key the
value on the secondary LCD will switch between the two
possibilities.

• Once selected the second calibration point, set the HI
931001 (350 mV) or HI 8427 (350 or 1900 mV) simula­tor to the same value and the calibration proceeds as for
the first point.

Note In ORP calibration there is no time-out.

ANALOG OUTPUT CALIBRATION

The instrument can be provided with one or two analog out­puts, each of them can be calibrated.

• Connect an Ammeter or the HI 931002 calibrator to the
analog output to measure the current erogated by the meter.

• Enter the calibration mode and move through the menu
using the  or  key until “Out 1” or “Out 2” message
appears on the primary LCD.

19

• Once visualized the selected output, press the  key to
choose the range of the analog output (0-20 mA or 4-20
mA); then press the CFM key to confirm the choice.

• Once selected and confirmed the
range for the analog output, the
secondary LCD shows the first point
of calibration (1 or 4 mA) and the
primary LCD displays the range of
the actual calibration.

• With the tester check the real current value provided by the
instrument at the output port. If this value is different from
the expected one, it is possible to change the current
erogated by the instrument pressing the  or  key.

• Adjust the value until it matches with the first point of cali­bration, then press CFM to confirm. The instrument will
turn to the second calibration point (20 mA).

• The calibration procedure is the same as for the first point.

• Once the instrument is calibrated for both points (and con­firmed), it will exit from the calibration menu.

TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION

• Prepare a beaker containing
crushed ice and water at 0°C (32°F)
and another one with hot water at
25°C (77°F) or 50°C (122°F).

• Use a Checktemp or another cali­brated thermometer with a
resolution of 0.1° as a reference
thermometer.

• Immerse the temperature probe in
the beaker with ice and water as
near to the Checktemp as possible.

Note The instrument can support Pt100 or Pt1000 temperature

sensor and calibration can be performed with anyone of these
two probes.

• After entering the calibration mode, move through the menu
(using the  or  key) to choose the temperature and the
correct kind of used probe; the pri­mary LCD shows “°C” and the
secondary LCD gives indication
about the kind of probe (“100” in­dicates a Pt100 probe, while
“1000” stands for a Pt1000
probe).

Press the CFM key to confirm selection.

• The calibration has to be performed
over two points: the first point has to
be 0°C and the second one can be
chosen between 25°C and 50°C.

Once confirmed the type of calibration, the primary LCD

will display the current temperature measure and the sec­ondary LCD will show the first calibration point (0°C).

• When the reading becomes stable, if the temperature value
is close to the calibration point the CFM tag starts blink­ing, otherwise the WRONG indicator will flash.

• In the first case press the CFM key to confirm calibration.
The meter will proceed showing the scrolling message “Press
CFM again to confirm the current buffer or right to es­cape” (to prevent from confirming the calibration point
inadvertently).

• Pressing again the CFM key, the sec­ondary LCD will display the second
calibration point.

• In the case the measured temperature is not close to the
calibration value, the meter remains in the WRONG status
until the reading becomes unstable or the calibration mode

is exited (by pressing the CAL key).

• When performing the second calibration point, it is pos­sible to choose between two values, 25°C and 50°C. Pressing
the  or  key the value on the secondary LCD will switch
between the two possibilities.

• Once selected the value, immerse the temperature probe
in the second beaker as near as possible to the Checktemp
and the calibration procedure will be the same as for the
first point.

The instrument is factory calibrated; however the user may
also perform the Volt calibration, which is a procedure avail­able for the meter configured as pH controller only.

During pH measurements the instrument reads a mV value
from the electrode and then converts it into a pH value.

• Set item I.04 to “OFF” to disable the Matching Pin.

• Connect a HI 931001 or HI 8427 simulator to the BNC
socket.

• Once entered the calibration mode,
move through the menu with  or
 key, select the Volt calibration (the
primary LCD shows “UOLt” mes­sage) and confirm it by pressing the
CFM key.

• After confirmation the primary LCD
will show the actual mV value and
the secondary LCD will display the
first calibration point.

• The calibration is performed over two points, 0 and 350 mV.

• Set the HI 931001 or HI 8427 simulator to 0 mV.

• When the reading becomes stable, if the measured value
is close to the calibration point the CFM tag starts blink­ing, otherwise the WRONG indicator will flash.

• In the first case press the CFM key to confirm calibration.

22

The meter will proceed showing the scrolling message “Press
CFM to confirm the current buffer or right to escape” (to
prevent from confirming the calibration point inadvertently).

• Pressing again CFM the secondary LCD will display the
second calibration point.

• Set the HI 931001 or HI 8427 simulator to 350 mV and
follow the same procedure as for the first point.

• If the measured value is not close to the calibration value,
the meter will remain in the WRONG status until the read­ing becomes unstable or the calibration mode is exited (by
pressing the CAL key).

SETUP MODE

The Setup Mode allows the user to set all needed character­istics of the meter.

To enter the mode, press the SETUP key and
enter the password when the device is in idle or
control mode.

If the correct password is not entered, the user can only view
the setup parameters (except for passwords) without modify­ing them (and the device remains in control mode). An
exception is certain setup items, or flags, which can activate
special tasks, when set and confirmed.

To each setup parameter (or setup item) is assigned a three
characters (one letter followed by two digits) setup code which
is entered and displayed on the secondary LCD. The first
character identifies the group of setup items, while the two
digits identify the particular item within that group.

The setup codes can be selected after password is entered
and CFM key is pressed. When CFM is pressed, the current
setup item is saved on EEPROM and the following item is
displayed.

The possible transitions in setup mode are the following:

ENTERING THE PASSWORD

• Press SETUP to enter the setup mode. The primary LCD will

word by using the  or  key.

enter a digit as described above. Continue
for the last two digits.

Note The default password is set at “0000”.

ENTERING SETUP ITEMS

• When the whole password has been in­serted, press CFM to confirm it.

After confirmation of the password the
primary LCD will show the name of the
first setup group (see table) while the
secondary LCD will display the setup
code of the first item of the group.

• By pressing the  or  key it is possible to cycle through
the setup groups; the secondary LCD will always show the
code of the first item of the group.

• Once a group is selected, it is pos­sible to choose an item manually.
Pressing the  key, the first digit of
the setup code will start blinking.
Now it is possible to change its value
by pressing the  or  key.

• Pressing the  key again, the first
digit will be fixed while the second
digit starts blinking and its value can
be changed as described above.

• By pressing the  key again all the
digits will be fixed.

• If CFM key is pressed, the selected item is confirmed; the
secondary LCD will show the setup item code while the
primary LCD will display the current item value.

If a fixed set of values is available for the selected item, use
the  or  key to switch between them.

25

Otherwise, if a numeric value has to be entered for the
item, use the  or  key to change the value of the blink­ing digit and the  key to cycle through the number’s
digits.

• Once a value is set, press the CFM key to confirm. The
instrument will turn to the next item and the new item’s
value will be displayed on the primary LCD.

• If a wrong value is confirmed, the
WRONG indicator starts blinking,
the new value is not accepted and
the instrument will not switch to the
next item until a correct value will
be confirmed.

• Instead of selecting the item manually, it is possible to cycle
through all the items of a selected group by pressing re­peatedly CFM key. The procedure to modify the item’s value
is the same described above.

If the last item of the group is reached, by pressing the
CFM key again the primary display will show the group
name and it will be possible to change the group by press­ing the  or  key.

26

Note At any time for exiting the setup mode press the SETUP key. If

no modification has been confirmed, no setup item is
changed.

Note While in the setup mode, if no activity is performed for about

5 minutes after entering the setup mode, the mode is auto­matically exited and the instrument returns to the previous
mode.

The below table lists the setup codes along with the description of
the specific setup items, their valid values and whether the item is
present for ORP mode.
Titles in Italic character (eg. “SETPOINT 1 “) represent different
subgroups within the same group. The subgroup name (eg.
“Set1”) is showed when entering the first item of the sub­group. To scroll through subgroups, use the  key.
Depending on the device model, some of the below items or
item values may not be available.
