PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
Remove the instrument from the packing material and examine it carefully to make sure that no damage has occurred during shipping. If there is any noticeable damage, notify your Dealer.
Note: Save all packing materials until you are sure that the
instrument functions correctly. All defective items must be returned in the original packing materials together with the supplied accessories.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HI 8931 and HI 943500 are panel mounted conductivity meters and controllers designed for simplicity of use in a wide range of industrial process applications.
The instruments are designed with a standard DIN panel mount with membrane keypads on the front, a large LCD and with auto­diagnostic functions.
Probes, power supply, contacts and recorders are connected on the rear panel through screw terminals.
Using HI 8931 in conjunction with a 4-20 mA output transmitter HI 8936 series (or HI 8936L series, with LCD display) will assure you of a strong, interference-free signal at distances up to 300 meters (1000').
For in-line applications the probe should be HI 7635 and for tanks HI 7638 with external threads. These probes with built-in NTC sensor, provide temperature compensated conductivity measurements. The probe cable length is 3 meters (10').
HI 943500 features a direct connection up to 20 m (67'), without intermediate amplifiers, to the conductivity probe HI 7638 with 7-pin DIN connector and automatic temperature compensation.

CONDUCTIVITY PROBES
HI 7635 In-line Conductivity Probe
HI 7635 is a one piece, molded conductivity probe with pipe threads
(1" NPT) at both ends. This allows the probe to attach to an in-line system, and to be used
in conjunction with the HI 8936 conductivity transmitter. The HI 7635 uses a 4-ring potentiometric measuring method. This
method is highly accurate and requires very little maintenance. The construction of the housing is rugged, fiber-reinforced polypropy-
lene. The maximum working pressure of this unit is 5 BAR (72.5 psi). Do not use in systems where the temperature exceeds 80°C (176°F).

OPERATIONAL GUIDE
INITIAL PREPARATION & INSTALLATION: Material needed:
a 3-wire power cable (for connection of HI 8931/HI943500 to the mains)
a PVC insulated 4-core cable (as connection cable between HI8931 and HI8936)
• rubber seals and a pipe sealant (for installation of HI7635)
FOR HI 8931 AND HI8936 ONLY
• Remove the 4 screws and the top of the HI8936 Process Conductivity transmitter.
• Connect the 2 wires connected to the 4-20 mA and COM termi­nals of the 4-core signal cable from the conductivity transmitter HI8936 to the terminals marked mA input paying careful attention to polarity. Connect the other 2 wires to the +20V and COM ter­minals while paying careful atten­tion to polarity.
• Connect the 3-wire power cable to the 4-screw terminal strip accord­ing to the voltage level as indi­cated and pay particular atten­tion to the correct live, earth and neutral terminal connections.
24
• The HI 8936 transmitter may be wall­mounted at any convenient location close to the measurement site. To minimize thermal drifts due to extreme temperature fluctuations, particularly if the measure­ment is conducted outdoors, it is recom­mended that the transmitter is protected in a casing.
• For the installation of the HI 7635 conductivity probe, it is necessary to use rubber seals between the probe and the pipe or elbow joints. A pipe sealant is also recommended to ensure a leak free joint. When screwing on the joints, take care not to over­tighten as excessive pressures can cause the probe to be damaged.
• The conductivity probe HI 7635 is sup­plied with a 3m (10') length of cable. The six core cable from the probe is connected to the HI8936 process con­ductivity transmitter as shown. The connections are color coded for an easy installation. See page 23 for the proper connection scheme.
25
• It is recommended that the HI7635 is installed vertically. This is to ensure that trapped air bubbles or turbulent flows cause minimal interference to the measurement system. The maximum working pressure of this unit is 5 BAR (72.5 psi).
CAUTION: do not use in systems where temperature exceeds 80°C
(176°F).
• The HI7638 process conductivity probe is also supplied with a 3m (10') length cable. The six core cable from this probe is connected to the HI 8936 process conductivity transmitter as shown.
The 7-pin DIN connector has to be removed when this probe is used in conjunction with HI8936 transmitter. See page 23 for the proper connection scheme.
FOR HI 943500 ONLY
Ensure that the HI7638 con­ductivity probe is connected to the meter securely by aligning the pins with the socket, push­ing the plug in and tightening the threaded ring.
26
OPERATING INFORMATION
The various parameters are set through the front panel keys and trimmers.
When each key is pressed the corresponding LED is lit, indicating that the function is operational.
Make sure that the conductivity meter, transmitter and probe are calibrated before using the instrument for measurements (see page 30 & 34 for HI8931 & HI8936 and page 38 for HI 943500).

HI 8931 conductivity controller
HI 8936 conductivity transmitter
• A 20 mA f.s. ammeter (for transmitters without LCD)
• A reference conductivity meter with automatic temperature com­pensation accurately calibrated (e.g. HI8733).
PROCEDURE
• Connect the HI7635 probe to the HI8936 transmitter (see page
23).
• Connect the HI8936 transmitter to the HI 8931 controller (see page 24).
• Connect the HI8931 controller to the mains (see page 24). Before proceeding with the calibration,
make sure that the meter is in measure­ment mode (MEASURE LED will be lit) and not in set mode.
• Connect the ammeter to the HI8936 transmitter to monitor the signal current (see the following picture).
MEA
SURE
30
• Ensure that there is no solution inside the HI7635 conductivity probe (dry probe).
• When the power is on, the ammeter should read "4.0 mA". The HI8936L transmitter with LCD should display "0".
• If not, adjust the OFFSET trimmer of the HI8936 transmitter to ob­tain "4 mA" or "0" on the HI8936L.
• The HI 8931 controller should dis­play "0" value.
• If not, adjust the OFFSET trimmer of HI8931 to display a zero read­ing.
• Switch the flow on and allow the sample solution to flow through the HI 7635 conductivity probe. Collect a sample of this solution in a beaker.
• Measure the conductivity of the solution with the HI8733 por­table conductivity meter with ATC. The value obtained will be used for the transmitter and controller calibration.

For example, using a HI8936A, if the measured value is 123.4 mS, then
output current = 10 x (123.4 x 16/2000) + 4
= 13.9 mA
Adjust the SLOPE trimmer of the HI8936 transmitter to read "13.9 mA" on the ammeter or the reading displayed by the HI8733 conduc- tivity meter on the HI8936L dis- play. E.g. "123.4 mS".
• Adjust the SLOPE trimmer of the HI 8931 controller until the controller reading is the same as the reading displayed by the HI8733 conductivity meter. E.g. "123.4 mS".
32
• The calibration is now complete and the instrument is ready for use. All subsequent measurements will now be compensated to 25°C (77°F).
• If the instrument will not calibrate refer to the Probe Maintenance and Cleaning section (see page 46).
• If the HI8936 transmitter is not used in conjunction with the HI8931 controller, connect the transmitter to an external power supply (see page 19). Connect the transmitter to the HI7635 conductivity probe (see page 23) and to an ammeter (see page
19). The calibration of the transmitters with LCD (HI8936AL, HI 8936BL,
HI8936CL, HI 8936DL) does not require an ammeter. Follow the above calibration procedure performing the operations
referred to the HI8936 transmitter only.

• Immerse the probe into the beaker with the conductivity solution. The holes on the sleeve must be completely submerged in the solution.
• Tap the probe repeatedly on the bottom of the beaker and stir it to ensure that no air bubbles are trapped inside the sleeve.
• If the temperature of the probe is close to that of the solution the display of HI 8931 will stabilize quickly and provide a temperature compensated conductivity measurement. However, allow a few minutes if there is a temperature difference of 5°C (9°F) or more for the ATC circuitry to compensate completely.
For HI 8936
Adjust the SLOPE trimmer of the HI8936 transmitter to read on the ammeter:

FOR HI 8931
When the reading stabilizes, turn the SLOPE trimmer on the front of the HI8931 until the LCD reading is the same as the calibration solution at 25°C (77°F), i.e.
"80.0 mS" using HI7034 with HI 8931A "12.88 mS" using HI7030 with HI 8931B "1413 µS" using HI7031 with HI 8931C "84.0 µS" using HI7033 with HI 8931D
• The calibration is now complete and the instrument is ready for use. All subsequent measurements will now be compensated to 25°C (77°F).
• If the instrument will not calibrate refer to the Probe Maintenance and Cleaning section (see page 46).
• If the HI8936 transmitter is not used in conjunction with the HI8931 controller, connect the transmitter to an external power supply (see page 19). Connect the transmitter to the HI7638 conductivity probe (see page 23) and to an ammeter (see page
19). The calibration of the transmitters with LCD (HI8936AL, HI 8936BL,
HI8936CL, HI 8936DL) does not require any ammeter. Follow the above calibration procedure performing the operations
referred to the HI8936 transmitter only.

HI 7030
• Pour enough conductivity solution into a beaker to achieve at least 8 cm (3¼") of depth.
(3¼ ")
8 cm
• Immerse the probe into the beaker with the conductivity solution. The holes on the sleeve must be completely submerged in the solution.
• Tap the probe repeatedly on the bottom of the beaker and stir it to ensure that no air bubbles are trapped inside the sleeve.
• If the temperature of the probe is close to that of the solution the display will stabilize quickly and provide you with a temperature compensated conductivity measurement.
However, allow a few minutes if there is a temperature difference of 5°C (9°F) or more for the ATC circuitry to compensate completely.
• When the reading stabilizes, turn the SLOPE trimmer on the front of the HI943500 until the LCD reading is the same of the calibration solution at 25°C (77°F), i.e.:
80.0 mS using HI7034 with HI943500A
12.88 mS using HI7030 with HI943500B 1413 µS using HI7031 with HI943500C
84.0 µS using HI7033 with HI943500D
39
• The calibration is now complete and the instrument is ready for use. All subsequent measurements will now be compensated to 25°C (77°F).
• If the instrument will not calibrate refer to the Probe Maintenance and Cleaning section (see page 46).

PROBE MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
The probe can be compensated for normal contamination by a process of re-calibration. However, it is recommended that the process conductivity probe be removed from the system regularly for maintenance.
For HI7635 only: Deposits on the conductivity probe can be removed by immersing the probe in 0.1 N Hydrochloric acid for about 30 minutes. Heavier deposits may demand longer immersion periods. Clean the electrode thoroughly with water prior to the reinstallation. On reinstalling, check the seals carefully to ensure that a leak connection is obtained.
For HI 7638 only: Rinse the probe with tap water. If a more thorough cleaning is desired, unscrew the Ultem sleeve and clean the sensors with a nonabrasive cloth or alcohol.
After cleaning the probe, re-calibrate the instrument. However, if the instrument will not re-calibrate with the clean probe, you must replace the probe.
Note: Always re-calibrate the meter when attaching a new probe.
