OPERATIONAL GUIDEOPERATIONAL GUIDE
INITIAL PREPARATION
• 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 a few
hours or overnight to reactivate it.
• Connect the pH electrode to the BNC connector on the top of the instrument.
• Connect the temperature probe to the RCA connector. The temperature probe
can be used independently to take temperature measurements, or in
conjunction with the pH electrode to utilize the ATC capability of the meter.
• Turn the meter ON by pressing the ON/OFF key. The display shows all the
used segments for a few seconds (or as long as the button is held), followed
by the percentage indication of the remaining battery life, and then enters
normal measurement mode.
pH MEASUREMENTS
• To take a pH measurement simply submerge the
electrode tip (at least 4 cm/1½") and the temperature probe into the sample to be tested.
• Select the pH mode by pressing the RANGE key until
the display changes to pH.
• Stir gently and wait for the stability symbol (hourglass) to turn off. The display will
show the pH value automatically compensated for temperature.
Notes:
• In order to take accurate pH measurements, make sure that the instrument
has been calibrated before use (see page 9).
• If measurements are taken in different samples successively, it is recommended to rinse the electrode thoroughly to avoid cross-contamination. After
cleaning, it is recommended to rinse the electrode with some of the sample to
be measured.
The meter is designed to compensate for temperature, as the response of the pH
electrode is directly affected by temperature.
Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC shown on LCD)
To use the ATC feature, submerge the temperature probe into the sample as
close as possible to the electrode and wait for a few minutes. The displayed pH
reading is compensated for the temperature of the sample.
Manual Temperature Compensation (MTC shown on LCD)
If the temperature probe is not connected, it is possible to enter the temperature value manually.
• Record the sample temperature by using a ChecktempC (if you are
measuring temperature in °C, or ChecktempF for °F readings) or another
accurate thermometer.
• Press RANGE to select the temperature mode. The "°C" (or "°F") symbol will
blink to indicate that the temperature probe is not connected.
• Use the UP and DOWN keys to display and set
the sample temperature (e.g. 25 °C).
• Press RANGE to select the pH measurement mode and immerse the electrode
into the sample. The displayed pH reading will be temperature compensated
at the set value (in this case at 25 °C).
ORP MEASUREMENTS
Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) measurements provide a quantification of
the oxidizing or reducing power of the sample tested.
• Connect the ORP electrode (optional) to the BNC connector.
• To enter the "mV" mode turn the instrument ON and press the RANGE key
until the display changes to mV.
• Submerge the ORP electrode tip (at least 4 cm / 1½") into the sample to be
tested and allow time for the reading to stabilize (hourglass symbol turns off).
• Measurements within the ±699.9 mV range
are displayed with 0.1 mV resolution, while
outside this range the resolution is 1 mV.
22
7
Notes:
• To perform correct ORP measurements, the surface of the ORP electrode must
be clean and smooth.
• When not in use, the tip of the electrode should be kept moist (use HI 70300
storage solution) and safe from any mechanical stress which might cause
damage to the glass/platinum junction.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS
• Turn the instrument ON and press the RANGE key to select the temperature
mode.
• Make sure the temperature probe is connected to the meter.
• Dip the temperature probe into the sample, allow the reading to stabilize
(hourglass symbol turns off) and read the temperature value.
• Temperature measurements can be displayed in °C or °F units (see "Menu
selection" for details).
Notes:
• A blinking full scale value means that the reading is out of range.
• To freeze a reading on display while in measurement mode, press the HOLD key. The "HOLD"
tag will blink. The pH, mV and temperature
values are held, and the RANGE key can be
used to view the values. Press HOLD again to
return to normal mode.
• If enabled, keypresses are followed with an acoustic signal. A lower note
indicates that the key is not currently active.
• To save battery life, the meter is provided with an auto-off feature, which
turns the instrument off after 20 minutes of non-use. This feature can be
disabled by the user (see "Menu selection" for details).

For better accuracy, frequent calibration of the instrument is recommended.
The instrument should be recalibrated for pH:
a) Whenever the pH electrode or temperature probe is replaced
b) At least once a week
c) After testing aggressive chemicals
d) When extreme accuracy is required
PREPARATION
Pour small quantities of pH 7.01 (HI 7007) and pH 4.01 (HI 7004) or pH
10.01 (HI 7010) buffer solutions into two clean beakers.
For accurate calibration use two beakers for each buffer solution, one for rinsing
the electrode tip, and one for calibration. In this way contamination of the
buffers is minimized.
For measurements in acidic samples, it is recommended to calibrate the meter
by using pH 7.01 (HI 7007) and pH 4.01 (HI 7004) buffers, while for
alkaline measurements use pH 7.01 (HI 7007) and pH 10.01 (HI 7010)
buffers.
PROCEDURE
• Connect the pH electrode and the temperature probe,
then switch the meter ON.
• Remove the electrode protective cap, rinse the electrode
tip with pH 7.01 solution, then immerse the pH
electrode and temperature probe into pH 7.01 buffer
solution; stir gently and wait a few minutes for the
electrode to stabilize and reach thermal equilibrium.
Note: The electrode should be submerged approximately 4
cm (1½") into the solution. The temperature probe
should be located close to the pH electrode.
• Press RANGE to display pH measurement.
• Press CAL to enter the calibration mode. The buffer value @25°C (77°F) and
the "pH" symbol will blink on the display.

• Rinse and immerse the pH electrode and the
temperature probe in pH 4.01 or pH 10.01
buffer (2nd calibration point) and stir gently.
• When the buffer value is recognized and the
reading is stable, an acoustic signal (if enabled) advises the user, the "pH" symbol stops
flashing, the hourglass indicator disappears
and the "CFM" tag starts blinking to indicate
that the value can be confirmed.
• Press CFM to store the second calibration point.
• The meter returns to normal mode.
The pH calibration is now complete; "CAL" and the
pH tags corresponding to the buffers used for
calibration are lit on the LCD.
Notes:
• If the buffer value is not recognized, after 12 seconds the meter will display
blinking dashes together with the "WRONG"
tag. Either the buffer solution is wrong or out
of specification and needs to be replaced or the
electrode is damaged.
• The meter will retain the calibration if the battery is removed.
• To quit calibration and keep previous data: press CAL after entering the
calibration mode and before the first point is accepted.
• To perform a single-point calibration: press CAL after the first point has been
confirmed.

MENU SELECTION
MENU SELECTIONMENU SELECTION
While in normal measurement mode, press and hold the CFM/SETUP key for about
5 seconds until the meter enters the menu selection mode.
The following parameters can be set from the menu:
1. Auto-off feature: 20 minutes (default setting) or disabled;
2. Acoustic signal: enabled (default setting) or disabled;
3. Temperature unit: °C (default setting) or °F.
When entering the menu mode, the auto-off selection is entered. The LCD shows
in three subsequent screens "Auto", "OFF" and "20" to indicate that the 20
minutes selection is active, or "Auto", "OFF" and "no" if the feature is disabled.
The user can toggle the selection by pressing CAL/SELECT or move to the next
step with CFM/SETUP.
The following selection is the acoustic signal, which is displayed on two
subsequent screens: "bEEP", "OFF" when the feature is disabled, and "bEEP",
"On" when the feature is enabled.
Press CAL/SELECT to toggle the selection and CFM/SETUP to move to next step.
At this point it is possible to set the temperature unit, by selecting "Unit", "°C"
or "Unit", "°F".
Press CAL/SELECT to toggle the selection and CFM/SETUP to exit the menu
selection mode and return to normal measurement mode.

Only for refillable electrodes; must be open while measuring.
PREPARATION PROCEDURE
Remove the electrode 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 have formed inside the glass bulb. The
electrode cannot function properly under these conditions. These bubbles can be
removed by "shaking down" the electrode as you would do with a glass
thermometer.
If the bulb and/or junction are dry, soak the electrode in HI 70300 storage
solution for at least one hour.

The meter displays the remaining battery percentage when turned on. When the level is below 5%,
the battery symbol on the bottom left of the LCD
blinks to indicate a low battery condition.
If the battery level is low enough to cause erroneous readings, the Battery Error
Prevention System (BEPS) turns the meter
The 9V battery provided with the instrument can be recharged using the
optional HI 710040 battery charger.
Plug the recharger and the green LED will turn on, then put the meter on the
recharger and the LED will turn to orange, to indicate that the battery is
charging.
It will take approx. 14 hours to completely charge the battery.
The supplied 9V Ni-MH recharge-
able battery can last for about
5 years. When the battery needs
to be replaced, remove the cover
on the rear of the meter and
replace the rundown battery with
a new one, while paying attention to the correct polarity.
Reattach the back making sure
that the gasket is in place and
tighten the 3 screws to ensure a
good seal.
Replacement should take place in a non-hazardous area using a 9V Ni-MH
rechargeable battery.
Note: The meter can also be powered with a normal 9V alkaline battery.
NEVER USE THE HI 710040 CHARGER WITH NON-RECHARGEABLE
BATTERY.
Note: Dispose of the Ni-MH battery according to local regulations.
