GENERAL DESCRIPTION
HI8417, HI8519, HI8520 and HI8521 Hanna Instruments benchtop pH meters are designed for simplicity of use.
They feature: large liquid crystal display (LCD), user friendly keyboard, error codes to guide the user in calibration and troubleshooting
and storage of calibration data even after the unit is shut off.
HI8417, HI8519 and HI8521 can also measure ion concentration
(ISE) and ORP in the mV range (with automatic range switching from
ISE to ORP when reading exceeds ±399.9mV, HI8417 and HI8521
only).
All models, except for HI8519, are microprocessor-based and
provide automatic or manual temperature compensation for
both calibration and measurement.
These models meet the most stringent demands of the laboratory:
HI8417 pH/mV/°C meter automatically recognizes six standard
calibration buffer values-three each for NBS (pH 4.01, 6.86, 9.18)
technical standard calibration buffers (pH 4.01, 7.01, 10.01).
A recorder output of 0 to 2 Volts is available and the wide mV range
and high resolution allow for ORP or ion-selective measurement.
HI8417 comes supplied with HI1131B glass-body combination pH
electrode, HI7669/2W temperature probe (with 1 meter / 3.3' cable),
12VDC adapter (HI710005 or HI710006) and a dust cover.
HI 8519 pH/mV meter includes: manual temperature compensation
and front panel knobs for offset and slope calibration.
HI8519 comes supplied with HI1332B plastic-body combination pH
electrode, 12VDC adapter (HI710005 or HI710006) and a dust
cover.
3
HI8520 pH/°C meter automatically recognizes 3 standard calibration
buffer values (4.01, 7.01 and 10.01 pH).
HI8520 comes supplied with HI1332B plastic-body combination pH
electrode, HI7669/2W temperature probe (with 1 meter/ 3.3' cable),
12VDC adapter (HI710005 or HI710006) and a dust cover.
HI8521 pH/mV/°C meter automatically recognizes 3 standard calibration buffer values (4.01, 7.01 and 10.01 pH).
HI8521 comes supplied with HI1332B plastic-body combination pH
electrode, HI7669/2W temperature probe (with 1 meter/ 3.3' cable),

If measurements are taken in different samples successively, it is
recommended that the electrode is rinsed thoroughly for better conditioning and to eliminate cross-contamination of the sample.
For the rinsing process, it is recommended to use a liberal amount of
the next solution to be measured.
Using refillable electrodes
Unscrew the small refill cap to open the refill hole during measurements. After measurement replace the refill hole cap.

TAKING ORP MEASUREMENTS
HI8417, HI8519 and HI8521 have the capability to take ORP
measurements, using an ORP electrode. Hanna Instruments offers a
variety of ORP electrodes for this purpose (see page 35). Contact your
Dealer for more information.
Just as pH measurements allow the acidity or the alkalinity of a
substance to be expressed in numbers, oxidation-reduction potential
(redox) measurements provide the quantification of the oxidizing or
reducing power of any liquid.
For HI8519 only:
• Connect the ORP electrode to the meter and
submerge the tip (4 cm / 1½") into the sample
to be tested.
Note: ORP measurements are taken without tem-
perature compensation.
• Press the mV key to enter the mV mode. Allow a few
minutes for the reading to stabilize.
• The display will indicate the absolute
mV value (positive or negative).

PH CALIBRATION
IMPORTANT
The instrument's pH range should be re-calibrated:
• When the meter is new.
• Whenever the pH electrode is replaced.
• At least once a month.
• After use in aggressive chemicals.
• After cleaning procedure and changing the reference electrolyte.
• For greatest accuracy.
INITIAL PREPARATION
Pour small quantities (up to 4cm / 1½" level)
of pH 7.01 (HI7007 or HI8007) and pH4.01
(HI7004 or HI8004) or pH 10.01 (HI7010
or HI8010) solution into clean beakers. If
possible use plastic beakers to minimize any
EMC interferences.
If you are measuring in the acid range use pH4.01 as second buffer
or pH 10.01 if you are measuring in the alkaline range.
Note: with HI8417 HI7006/HI8006 (pH 6.86) and HI7009/HI8009
(pH 9.18) can be used in place of HI7007/HI8007 (pH 7.01)
and HI7010/HI8010 (pH 10.01) respectively.
For accurate calibration, use two bea-
RINSE
kers for each buffer solution; the first
for rinsing the electrode, the second
HI 7007
for calibration. In this way, contamination of the buffer is minimized.
Note: the electrode should be submerged approxi-
mately 4 cm (1½") into the solution. If the
temperature probe is used, it should be positioned as close to the pH electrode as possible.

PH CALIBRATION FOR HI8417
HI8417 provides 6 pre-programmed calibration buffers: three NBS
buffers (d1, d2, d3 i.e. pH 6.86, 4.01, 9.18 respectively) and three
technical buffers (t1, t2, t3 i.e. pH 7.01, 4.01, 10.01 respectively).
When the ATC probe is not used, make sure the temperature is set
manually to reflect the temperature of the solution (see page 23).
18
Procedure:
• Switch the instrument on after connecting the
pH electrode and the temperature probe.
• Immerse the pH electrode and the ATC probe
into a neutral pH buffer solution (pH 7.01
for technical buffers, or pH 6.86 for NBS
buffers).
Shake briefly and wait 1-2 minutes for thermal
equilibrium.
• Press the CAL key. The symbol "d1" will appear
on the display. For calibration with technical
buffers (pH 7.01), press CAL key again
and "t1" will appear on the display.
(Note: the "pH" symbol will be flashing
throughout the calibration procedure).
• Press the CON key. The buffer value will be
displayed on the right LCD.
• Allow 1-2 minutes for the pH reading to stabilize.
The pH reading will be temperature compensated.
E.g. if the buffer temperature is at 25°C, the right display will
show "pH 7.01". If the buffer temperature is at 20°C, the display
will show "pH 7.03" (see page 23).
°C
pH
ON
CAL
CON
If "Err4" appears the calibration solution is wrong.
Repeat the process using fresh buffers.
Note: If you are not using the ATC probe, refer to page 22 to
manually correct for temperature.
• Press the CON key again to accept the buffer value.
CON
The first point calibration is now complete.
• If the pH/mV key is pressed at this point, the calibration process is ended and only the offset of the meter is
calibrated. This is known as one point calibration. For greatest
accuracy, however, it is recommended that a two-point calibration is performed.
• Rinse the electrode and the temperature probe before immersing
them into pH 4.01/ pH10.01 (or 9.18) calibration buffer, shake
briefly and wait for thermal equilibrium.
19
• The meter automatically recognizes the buffer value and prompts
for the second at "d2" or "t2" (= pH 4.01, acid) or "d3" or "t3"
(pH 9.18 and pH10.01 respectively, alkaline).
CON
• Press the CON key to confirm the pH value.
• The display will indicate the temperature compensated buffer value e.g. if the temperature is at 25°C, the display
will show "pH 4.01" or "10.01" or "pH 9.18", depending on the

• Press CON key again to confirm calibration. The
CON
meter is now calibrated.
• The pH symbol will stop flashing and the unit is
ready for measurements.
• If the reading is drifting, turn the meter off and repeat the
calibration procedure waiting longer for the reading to stabilize.
However, usually 1 or 2 minutes is enough time to prevent a
drifting reading.
Note: If you need to unplug the instrument, press the OFF key thus
switching the instrument off before disconnecting the power
cord. In this way the instrument will retain the calibration
data. Otherwise, re-calibration might be necessary. In the case
of a power failure while the instrument is operational, recalibration might be required.

PREPARATION
Remove the protective cap.
DO NOT BE ALARMED IF ANY SALT DEPOSITS ARE PRESENT. This is
normal with electrodes and 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, soak the electrode in HI 70300 or
HI 80300 Storage Solution for at least one hour.
25
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.
For a faster response, unscrew the fill hole screw during measurements.
For AmpHel® electrodes:
If the electrode does not respond to pH changes, the battery is run
down and the electrode should be replaced.
MEASUREMENT
Rinse the electrode tip with distilled water. Immerse the tip (bottom 4
cm /1½") in the sample and stir gently for a few seconds.
For a faster response and to avoid cross contamination of the samples,
rinse the electrode tip with a few drops of the solution to be tested,
before taking measurements.
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 above
before taking measurements.
Note: NEVER STORE THE ELECTRODE IN DISTILLED OR DEIONIZED WA-
TER.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Inspect the electrode and the cable. The cable used for connection to
the meter 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). Allow the electrode to stand upright for 1 hour.
Follow the Storage Procedure above.
26
CLEANING PROCEDURE
GeneralSoak in Hanna HI 7061 or HI 8061 General Clean-
ing Solution for approximately ½ hour.
Removal of films, dirt or deposits on the membrane/junction:
- ProteinSoak in Hanna HI 7073 or HI 8073 Protein Cleaning
Solution for 15 minutes.
- InorganicSoak in Hanna HI 7074 or HI 8074 Inorganic Clean-
ing Solution for 15 minutes.
- Oil/grease Rinse with Hanna HI 7077 or HI 8077 Oil and Fat
Cleaning Solution.
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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Evaluate your electrode performance based on the following.
• Noise (Readings fluctuate up and down) could be due to:
– Clogged/Dirty Junction: Refer to the Cleaning Procedure
above.
– Loss of shielding due to low electrolyte level (in refillable
electrodes only): refill with fresh HI 7071 or HI 8071 for
single junction or HI 7082 or HI 8082 for double junction
electrodes.
• Dry Membrane/Junction: Soak in HI 70300 or HI 80300 Storage Solution for at least 1 hour.
• Drifting: Soak the electrode tip in warm (approx. 50-60°C)
Hanna HI 7082 or HI 8082 Solutions for one hour and rinse the
tip with distilled water. Refill with fresh HI 7071 or HI 8071 for
single junction electrodes and HI 7082 or HI 8082 for double
junction electrodes (refillable electrodes only).
• Low Slope: Refer to the cleaning procedure above.
• No Slope: Check the electrode for cracks in glass stem or bulb
and replace the electrode.
• Slow Response/Excessive Drift: Soak the tip in HI 7061 or
HI 8061 Solutions for 30 minutes, rinse thoroughly in distilled
water and then follow the Cleaning Procedure above.

CORRELATION
The resistance of glass electrodes partially depends on the temperature. The lower the temperature, the higher the resistance. It takes
longer 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 10°C.

Since the resistance of the pH electrode is in the range of 200 Mohm,
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 andstatic discharges are detrimental for 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

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