PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
Remove the instrument from the packing material and examine it to make sure that no damage has occurred during shipping. If there is any damage, notify your Dealer.
Each HI 9032 bench meter is supplied complete with:
•HI 7669/2W Temperature Probe
•HI 7686 Conductivity Probe
•External Power Supply (HI710005 or
HI710006)
•HI 76405 Electrode Holder
•Dust Cover
Note: Save all packing material until you are sure that the instrument functions correctly. All defective items must be returned in the original package together with the supplied accessories.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Hanna Instruments HI 9032 is a micropro- cessor-based, bench-top, conductivity meter designed for the laboratory stringent demands, with the ability to perform five types of measurements:
•Conductivity (4 different ranges: 0.0 to
399.9S/cm, 399 to 3999 S/cm, 3.99 to
39.99mS/cm, 39.9 to 99.9 mS/cm)
•Fertilizer Concentration (F1 or F2 in the range 0.00 to 39.9 g/l)
•NaCl of sea water saturation (range 0.0 to 130.0%)
•Temperature (range 0.0 to 50.0°C)
•Total Dissolved Solids (3 different ranges:
0.0to 199.9 ppm, 0 to 1999 ppm, 0.00 to
19.99g/l).
2 |
3 |
HI 9032 automatically recognizes buffers @ 84 S/cm, 1413 S/cm, 12.88 mS/cm, 80.0 mS/cm.
Commands are easily accessible through the user-friendly keyboard:
Through the COND key the meter is set in the conductivity range, TDS key selects Total Dissolved Solids measurements, NaCl key sets the range to NaCl measurement, and the FERT key selects 1st or 2nd fertilizer measurements.
Temperature compensation can be either automatic or manual. It can be selected through the key ATC / MTC respectively.
A temperature coefficient factor (for conductivity measurements) can be also selected through the %TC key (from 0.0 to 3.0%).
The TDS factor (for TDS measurements) can be selected through the FTR key (from 0.01 to 0.99).
The unit includes memory storages for all calibration data even after the unit is shut off.
HI 9032 is equipped with two liquid crystal displays:
•A large one in two sections (primary and secondary LCD) indicates conductivity, TDS, NaCl, Fertilizer and temperature coefficient %;
•A smaller one indicates temperature.
The meter also incorporates a standard R232C output to allow serial communication with a host computer; a series of programs can be selected for the setting of the R232C baud rate.

1.Large display for Conductivity, Fertilizer, NaCl and TDS
This large LCD displays the conductivity, fertilizer, NaCl and TDS reading. The corresponding symbol will be displayed along with the measured value.
A "----" signal will appear on this display to indicate an out of range condition.
2.Temperature display
This LCD displays the temperature measured by the HI7669/2W probe or the value that was manually set through the keyboard. Temperature can be selected between the Celsius and the Fahrenheit scale by pressing the °C or the °F key respectively.
If the probe is not connected when the meter is turned on, the "25°C" (or "77°F") symbol with a blinking decimal point will default.

Probes connection
Connect the supplied conductivity probe HI7686 securely to the DIN socket provided (#1) by aligning the pins with the socket, pushing the plug in and tightening the threaded ring.
For temperature measurements and automatic temperature compensation connect the temperature probe HI7669/2W to the °C socket (#2).
RESET button
The RESET button (#3) is used when the instrument displays erroneous messages due to strong electrical interference or when the instrument's power supply was disconnected before the meter was switched off. Press the
RESET button and restart the entire operation.
Power connection
Plug the 12VDC adapter (HI710005 or HI710006) into the DC socket (#6).
Plug the adapter into the mains.
Note: The instrument uses the following configuration.
+ -
It is recommendable to use Hanna HI710005 or HI710006 voltage adapters (supplied with the meters) that use the proper polarity configuration.
HI 9032 can also be used with other adapters. In this case, remember to check the correct polarity of your adapter before connecting it to the meter.
Note:
•Make sure the main line is protected by a fuse.
•If you need to unplug the instrument, press the OFF key before disconnecting the meter from the mains.

OPERATIONAL GUIDE
Make sure that the instrument has been calibrated before taking measurements (see calibration procedures on page 21 for conductivity, page 31 for NaCl and 35 for fertilizer).
Connect the conductivity probe to the meter securely by aligning the pins with the socket on the back of the meter, pushing the plug in and tightening the threaded ring.
Connect the temperature probe to the back of the meter for automatic temperature compensation or for temperature measurements.
If possible, to minimize any EMC interferences, use plastic beakers for the solutions.

Wait for a few minutes for the temperature sensor to attain thermal equilibrium with the test solution before taking the measurement. If the temperature of the conductivity probe and the solution is drastically apart, a longer time should be allowed before taking readings.
