INITIAL PREPARATION

Each meter is supplied complete with batteries. Remove the back cover, unwrap the batteries and install them while paying attention to the polarity (see also page 34).

To switch HI 9171, HI 9174, HI 9181 and HI 9184 on, press TEMP.

To switch HI 9271 and HI 9274 on, press ON/OFF.

If the meter does not switch on check the batteries.

PROBE CONNECTION

Choose the most appropriate temperature probe(s) for your application (see page 36) and connect it (them) to the probe connector(s) located on the top of the instrument. All the probes have been precalibrated at the factory and no calibration is needed.

HI 9171, HI 9181 and HI 9271 take a single probe while HI 9174, HI 9184 and HI 9274 can take up to four probes.

With the meter facing you, channel #1 is the first connector on the top left corner.

If neither a temperature probe nor a calibration test plug is connected to the instrument, the meter will display "°C ----" to alert the user.

This could also indicate that probe cable is damaged. "CH" and the channel number are displayed together (HI 9174, HI 9184, HI 9274 only).

OPERATIONAL GUIDE

Note: To ensure accuracy, it is recommended that the temperature

probes be connected to consecutive channels beginning with channel #1. For example, if only one probe is to be used, connect it to channel #1. If 2, 3 or 4 probes are used, connect them to channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 in ascending order.

AUTO SHUT-OFF

To maximize battery life the display is automatically switched off after 5 minutes of non-use. However, the meter will continue to monitor the temperature if in recording/logging mode.

To revive the display, press any key (except ALT with HI 9171, HI 9174, HI 9271 and HI 9274).

SETTING DATE, TIME, PRINTING OR LOGGING INTERVAL (FOR HI 9171, HI 9174, HI 9181

& HI 9184 ONLY)

Turn the instrument on by pressing the TEMP key.

Press ALT and TIME simultaneously. These instruments have a password security feature. The default password is 0000. When the meter is used for the first time, it allows time and date to be set until a password is entered. If a password has been entered (see page 12) "----" appears on display and one can only proceed after digiting the password. Otherwise the display will show the date setting with the year blinking (shown as the last 2 digits of the year i.e. 95 = 1995).

Use  or  to select the year.

HI 9181 and HI 9184 contains infrared emitting circuitry. Set the meter to TIME mode and place it on a HI 9200 Infrared Transmitter (ensuring that the infrared LEDs are placed on top of each other). The logged data can be downloaded to your PC through the HI 9200's RS232 port.

During the data transfer the instrument displays "r 232".

Using the HI 9200 Infrared Transmitter, all recorded data can be fed to your Personal Computer for easy reproduction, storage or elaboration without having to connect and disconnect cables between the meter and your PC.

Data can be further elaborated with the new optional HI 92000 Windows® compatible application software.

HI 92000 allows use of commonest spread sheet programs (e.g. Excel, Lotus 1-2-3) and offers a variety of features with an on-line help routine. To install HI 92000, you need a 3.5" drive and a couple of minutes to follow the short instructions conveniently printed on the disk label.

Capacity

16,000 data samples, divided into 16 pages.

Capacity per page

1000 data with 1 channel monitored; 500 data with 2 channels monitored (four channels versions only); 250 data with 3 or 4 channels monitored (four channels versions only). Each time a new logging mode is entered, it automatically starts a

new page. Once all 16 pages are used up, the meter will overwrite the first lot. During logging, the meter automatically returns to the oldest page in the memory and if it contains data, it will overwrite it. In this case the first log will not correspond to the oldest set of data

It is recommended to periodically “clean” the memory. Save the data in a PC if you need to keep a record and then disconnect the batteries for about 1 minute. If you do this, remember to reset the time and date, once the batteries have been inserted again.

ATTENTION

Data is stored into memory until batteries are removed. If replacement of the batteries is needed and data is not to be lost, first plug in an external 12VDC power supply and then proceed with battery replacement as described on page 34. Only once batteries have been replaced, it is possible to unplug the power supply without losing the previously memorized data.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION

(HI 9181 & HI 9184 only)

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTIONS

HI 9171, HI 9174, HI 9181, HI 9184, HI 9271 and HI 9274 are factory programmed to automatically diagnose a fault and inform the user by displaying an error code on the LCD.

Error codes are: PEr0, PEr1, PEr2 = Short circuit on the system, the meter should be

returned for repair (see Warranty section).

PEr3 = Printer mechanism fault - repair needed (see Warranty

section). PEr4 = Printer clutch jammed - reset the printer (see page 33). PEr9 = Printer jammed - reset the printer (see page 33).

TO CHANGE THE INK CARTRIDGE

When printouts become faint, it might be necessary to change the ink cartridge. Contact your dealer or the nearest Hanna Service Center for this.

TO INSERT PAPER ROLL

HI 9171, HI 9174, HI 9181, HI 9184, HI 9271 and HI 9274 use plain 38 mm wide paper rolls. To insert a new roll gently pull out the printer cover.

Take out the used paper cylinder.

Insert the paper edge in the printer slot and feed the paper through by pressing the PAPER key.

PRINTER MAINTENANCE

PAPER

Allow about 5 cm (2") of paper to exit from the printer and then replace the cover.

TO RESET THE PRINTER

Take the battery cover off by removing the screws on the back of the meter. Using a blunt pencil press the black reset button. This will reset the printing mechanism.

Before replacing the battery cover, investigate likely cause of the printer jam (e.g. the paper might be caught under the cover preventing the paper from advancing).

Replace the battery cover and tighten the screws.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If "LO BAT" appears on the display, it is an indication that the batteries are running down. If it appears during printing, approximately 200 printouts can still be made before the batteries are exhausted. When there is only sufficient power for 100 printouts, the "LO BAT" sign is displayed continuously on the LCD.

Battery replacement must only take place in a non-hazardous area using alkaline AA type 1.5V batteries.

In order to replace run down batteries, simply remove the two screws on the rear cover of the instrument and replace the four 1.5V AA batteries with new alkaline ones, paying attention to the correct polarity.

HI 9171, HI 9174, HI 9181 and HI 9184 will show a clock function that will appear as 0:00 and a default sampling interval of 1 minute.

A 12VDC power source can also be used to power the unit (see Accessories on page 40).

Note: The instrument uses the following configuration.

It is recommended to use Hanna Instruments HI 710005 and HI 710006 voltage adapters that use the proper polarity configuration.

HI 9171, HI 9174, HI 9181, HI 9184, HI 9271 and HI 9274 can also be used with other adapters supplying a 12VDC output. In this case, remember to check the correct polarity of your adapter before connecting it to the meter.

WARNING: With HI 9181 and HI 9184, if the external power

supply or batteries are disconnected, all stored data will be erased. Always employ external power to the instrument when changing the batteries to prevent loss of data.

All Hanna thermometers have been accurately precalibrated at the factory.

However, as a general rule, it is recommended to have all thermometers recalibrated at least once a year.

For an accurate annual recalibration, contact your dealer or the nearest Hanna Customer Service Center.

Hanna Test Plugs provide a quick and easy way to check the accuracy of the meter by simply connecting these Test Plugs to the probe connector of the meter.

If the reading differs by more than ±0.4°C (±0.8°F) from the Test Plug values, the unit is due for recalibration.

Choose the right Test Plug to suit your needs:

CALIBRATION

Hanna Instruments offers a wide range of probes to meet all your requirements (from liquids to air and penetration to surface). These probes use highly sensitive thermistor sensors which provide greater accuracy, faster response and a temperature range that is superior to conventional thermistor probes. All Hanna temperature probes are supplied precalibrated from the factory and are ready to be used with your meter. The probes are easily to your meter with a standard connector. Completely interchangeable, these probes make it possible for you to switch from one to another without wasting time and money going through tedious calibration procedures. They are available with different handle colors to avoid cross contamination during testing:
