INITIAL PREPARATION
Each meter is supplied complete with batteries.
Remove the back cover, unwrap the batteries and
install them while paying attention to polarity.
HI 9023C, HI 9024C, HI 9025C:
To prepare the instrument for use connect the pH electrode and the
temperature probe to the BNC and temperature sockets on the top of
the instrument. The temperature probe can be used independently to
take temperature measurements, or it can be used in conjunction with
the pH electrode to utilize the meter's ATC capability. If the probe is
disconnected, temperature can also be set
manually with the UP and DOWN keys. To
switch the instrument on, press and hold the
ON/OFF key for a fraction of a second. The
meter has a built-in protection against electromagnetic interference and the delayed response
of the keys assures that the commands are not
mistaken for stray signals.
HI 9110 and HI 9210:

TAKING REDOX MEASUREMENTS
(HI 9023C & HI 9025C only)
HI 9023C and HI 9025C have the capability to take ORP measurements. An optional ORP electrode must be used to perform these
measurements.
Oxidation-Reduction Potential (REDOX) measurements provide the quantification of the oxidizing or reducing power of the sample tested.
To correctly perform a redox measurement, the surface of the ORP
electrode must be clean and smooth.
In order to improve performance and obtain a faster response time,
precondition your ORP electrode with reducing or oxidizing solutions.
Generally speaking, if the ORP mV reading corresponding to the pH
value of the solution is higher than the values in the table below, an
oxidizing pretreatment is necessary; otherwise a reducing pretreatment
is necessary:

Reducing pretreatment: immerse the electrode for a few minutes in
HI 7091.
Oxidizing pretreatment: immerse the electrode for a few minutes in
HI 7092.
When not in use, the tip of the electrode should be kept moist and
safe from any mechanical stress which might cause damage to the
glass/platinum junction.
Connect the pH/°C electrode to the DIN connector on the top of the
instrument and press the ON/OFF key.

CLEANING PROCEDURE
GeneralSoak in Hanna HI 7061 or HI 8061 General Cleaning
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.
pH MEASUREMENTS
To take a pH measurement remove the electrode protective cap and simply submerge the
tip (4cm/1½") of the electrode and the temperature probe (wherever applicable) into the
sample to be tested.
Turn the instrument ON and if necessary, press RANGE until the
display changes to the pH mode.
ON/OFF
RANGE
Allow for the electrode to adjust to the solution and stabilize.
In order to take more accurate pH measurements, make sure that the
instrument is calibrated (see page 16).
It is recommended that the electrode is always kept wet and rinsed
thoroughly with the sample to be measured before use.
The pH reading is directly affected by temperature. In order for the
meter to measure the pH accurately, temperature must be taken in
consideration. If the sample temperature is quite different from the
temperature at which the pH electrode was kept, allow a few minutes
for a perfect thermal equilibrium between them.
HI 9023C, HI 9024C and HI 9025C:
To use the meter's Automatic Temperature Compensation feature,
submerge the temperature probe into the sample as close to the
electrode as possible and wait for a couple of minutes. If you know the
temperature of the sample to be tested you can manually compensate
for it.
If manual temperature compensation is desired the temperature
probe must be disconnected from the instrument.
The display will show the default temperature
of 25°C or the last recorded temperature reading with the "°C" indicator blinking.

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.

For instance, if the buffer temperature is 25°C, the display should
show pH 4.01, 7.01 or 10.01 at pH 4, 7 or 10 buffers, respectively.
At 20°C, the display should show pH 4.00, 7.03 or 10.06. The meter
reading at 50°C will then be 4.06, 6.98 or 9.82.
Note: The electrode should be submerged ap-
proximately 4 cm (1½") into the solution.

pH Calibration
All three meters provide for manual pH calibration. As a result, you
can perform one or two point calibration at a buffer of your choice.
The instructions below explain a typical calibration procedure at
pH 7 and then 4 or 10.

• Remove the protective cap from the electrode, rinse it with some pH 7.01 solution,
then dip in pH 7.01 buffer. Stir briefly and

Note: The electrode should be submerged ap-
proximately 4 cm (1½") into the

place the thermometer close to the pH
electrode.
• Adjust the OFFSET trimmer (#3 pages 9-10) until the LCD shows
the pH value at the buffer temperature (see page 24 for pH values
at various temperatures). With HI 9210N, press RANGE to read
the buffer temperature.

PROCEDURE FOR HI 9024C AND HI 9025C:
In order to calibrate HI 9024C and HI 9025C, there is a choice of 5
memorized buffers: 4.01, 6.86, 7.01, 9.18 and 10.01 pH.
• Make sure that the meter is in the pH mode.
• Remove the protective cap and rinse the electrode with some of
the buffer calibration solution that you are going to use first.
ONE-POINT CALIBRATION:
It is always recommended to perform a two-point calibration for
optimum accuracy. In case of necessity, it is possible to carry out only
a one-point calibration with the instruments. The offset buffers, that is
the Standard 7.01 or the NIST 6.86 are the most appropriate for this
purpose even though both meters can be calibrated with any of the 5
memorized calibration solutions.
• Immerse the pH electrode into a pH buffer
solution (e.g. pH 6.86) and stir gently.
HI 7006
Note: The electrode should be submerged
approximately 4 cm (1½") into the solution. With the temperature probe
located as close to it as possible.
• Press the CAL key. The "CAL" and "

(e.g."4.01").

TWO-POINT CALIBRATION
After calibrating at 6.86 or 7.01 pH (see above), for the second buffer
use pH 4.01 if you are going to measure acidic samples, and pH 9.18
or pH 10.01 if you are measuring alkaline solutions.
• Proceed as described in “One-point calibration above but do not end the calibration
by pressing CAL.
• After the first calibration point is confirmed,
immerse the pH electrode into the second

and stir gently.

natively. If the reading is close to the selected buffer, the slope
and the offset are calibrated. The values will be stored in memory
and the meter will return to the operating mode.
Note: The meter will automatically skip the buffer that was used for
the first calibration to avoid erroneous calibration. At least 1
full pH unit is required between the two buffers used for the
offset and slope calibration. As a result, once calibrated at
either pH 6.86 or 7.01, the microprocessor will automatically
ignore the other one for the second point calibration. It will do
likewise for pH 9.18 and 10.01
Note: During calibration, the secondary LCD displays the selected
buffer value. With HI 9025C, press the RANGE key to display
the buffer temperature during calibration.
PROCEDURE FOR HI 9110, HI 9210 & HI 9210N:
Manual Temperature Compensation
Note: The pH/°C electrode of HI 9210N incorporates a temperature
sensor which performs automatic temperature compensation.
Consequently, the following 5 paragraphs are irrelevant to
HI 9210N and you can just proceed with pH calibration below.
• Press pH/°C SET key for HI 9110 or the RANGE key for HI 9210 to
select the manual temperature setting. The "°C" symbol will be
displayed to indicate the temperature setting mode.
• Remove the protective cap on the top of the meter to have access
