GENERAL DESCRIPTION
HI 8314 is an hand-held pH/mV/°C meter designed for
simplicity of use in taking pH, mV (ORP) and temperature
measurements.
The pH, mV and °C ranges are easily selected using a
membrane keyboard on the front panel.
Calibration procedure is very simple and adjustments are
easily made with two trimmers on the front panel.
The built-in temperature sensor in the pH electrode allows
automatic temperature compensation of pH readings.
Moreover HI 8314 has been designed with a low battery
detector feature and a lightweight ABS plastic housing.
The meter is supplied with HI 1217D, an amplified interchangeable plastic-body, combination, double-junction, gel
pH electrode with built-in temperature sensor, a 9V battery
and a calibration screwdriver are also icluded.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
1) DIN connector for combination pH or ORP electrode.
2) LCD display.
3) mV key, to display the mV (ORP) readings when
using an ORP electrode or the mV equivalent to pH
values when using a pH electrode.
4) STD trimmer for OFFSET calibration of pH.
5) SLOPE trimmer for SLOPE calibration of pH.
6) °C key, to display the temperature measurement.
7) pH key, to display the pH value.
8) ON/OFF key.

OPERATIONAL GUIDE
INITIAL PREPARATION
The meter is supplied complete with a 9V battery. Remove the
battery compartment cover on the back of the meter, install
the battery while paying attention to its polarity.
Always remove the electrode protective cap before taking any
measurements. If the electrode has been left dry, soak the tip
in HI 70300 Storage Solution for half an hour to reactivate it.
Connect the pH electrode to the DIN connector on the top of
the instrument.
Turn the meter ON by pressing the ON/OFF key.
TAKING pH MEASUREMENTS
To take a pH measurement simply submerge the electrode tip (at least 4cm/
1½") into the sample to be tested.
Select the pH mode. Shake briefly and
wait a couple of minutes for the reading
to stabilize. The display will show the pH
value automatically compensated for temperature variations.
In order to take accurate pH measurements, make sure that
the instrument has been calibrated for pH before use.
If measurements are taken in different samples successively, it
is recommended to rinse the electrode thoroughly to avoid
cross-contamination. After cleaning, rinse the electrode with
some of the sample to be measured.
TAKING ORP MEASUREMENTS
Connect the ORP electrode to the DIN connector on the top of
the meter.
To enter the "mV" mode (ORP Oxidation
Reduction Potential) turn the instrument
ON and press the mV key.
To take the mV measurement of a sample submerge the ORP
electrode tip (at least 4 cm/1½") into the solution to be tested.
Wait a few minutes for the reading to stabilize.
TAKING TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS
Turn the instrument ON, press the °C key
and allow the reading to stabilize.
pH CALIBRATION
For greatest accuracy, frequent calibration of the instrument is
recommended. The instrument should be recalibrated for pH:
a) Whenever the pH electrode is replaced.
b) At least once a month.
c) After testing aggressive chemicals.
d) Where extreme accuracy is required.
• Rinse and immerse the pH electrode in pH4.01 or pH10.01
buffer (2nd calibration point) and stir gently.
• Wait a couple of minutes and adjust the SLOPE trimmer on
the lower right of the front panel until the LCD shows the
pH value at the noted temperature.

PREPARATION
Pour small quantities of pH7.01 (HI 7007) and pH4.01
(HI 7004) buffer solutions into two clean beakers.
For accurate calibration use two beakers for each buffer solution,
the first one for rinsing the tip of the electrode, the second one
for calibration. In this way contamination of the buffers is
minimized.
To obtain accurate readings, use pH7.01 (HI 7007) and
pH4.01 (HI 7004) buffers if you are going to measure acidic
samples, or pH7.01 (HI 7007) and pH10.01 (HI 7010) for
alkaline measurements.
If you need to calibrate the meter to NBS standards, use
pH6.86 (HI 7006) instead of pH7.01 and pH9.18 (HI 7009)
instead of pH10.01.
PROCEDURE
• Connect the pH electrode and switch the meter ON.
• Remove the protective cap from the electrode, rinse the tip
with some pH7.01 solution, then immerse the electrode into
a pH7.01 buffer solution; stir gently and wait a couple of
minutes for thermal equilibrium to be reached.
The pH calibration is now complete.

When the battery becomes weak, the
meter displays a blinking additional decimal point on the left side of the LCD.
When the low battery indicator appears only a few hours of
battery life is remaining. A low battery level may also result
in unreliable measurements. It is recommended to replace
the battery immediately.
Unscrew the 3 screws on the back of the meter, remove the
battery cover and replace the battery while paying attention to its polarity.
Replacement must only take place in a non-hazardous area
using an alkaline 9V battery.
