PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
These Hanna portable thermometers with built-in printers are microprocessor-based to accurately measure temperature and record data.
The instrument housing is made of rugged and lightweight material,
specifically designed for the food industry.
Measurements can be performed with lab-grade precision in the field
without compromising accuracy. A 12VDC adapter can also be used to
power the unit for prolonged use.
Common features include: use of precalibrated and completely interchangeable probes, user-selectable printing/logging intervals, printing
on plain paper, automatic shut-off capability, low battery warning,
clock and calendar (HI 9171, HI 9174, HI 9181 and HI 9184),
memorization of logged values (HI 9181 and HI 9184), all operations password protected (HI 9171, HI 9174, HI 9181 and HI 9184)
and 2 year warranty.
HI 9181 and HI 9184 have a memory capacity of 16,000 individual
temperature readings with selectable recording intervals. Using the
HI 9200 infrared transmitter, all the recorded data can be fed to a PC
for reproduction, storage or elaboration without having to connect and
disconnect cables and cords.

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).

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.

Press the ALT and TIME keys simultaneously. The instrument will now
ask for the password and display "0000".
To return to normal operation enter the password or press the ALT and
TIME keys again if the password is not to be changed.
The new date, time and printing interval are now stored in the
memory even when the meter is switched off.
SETTING THE PASSWORD (HI 9171, HI 9181, HI 9174
& HI 9184 ONLY)
The password is represented by a 4 digit number each selectable from
0 to 6.
By pressing the ALT and the TIME keys at the end of the time/date
setting procedure, four zeros appear on the LCD.
If you wish to enter a password, press any of the keys corresponding
to a number. These numbers are printed on the bottom right hand
side of the keys as shown below:

If no password is necessary, leave the default password as 0000 by
pressing and holding ALT down and then pressing TIME.
Once a password has been entered, it is automatically stored in
memory. By pressing ALT and TIME simultaneously the display will
switch back to normal operation.
Note: If the password is not known or forgotten, remove the batteries
for two minutes and the password is reset to the default 0000.
ENTERING THE PASSWORD
When the display shows "----" it means that the password has to be
entered. Press the keys corresponding to the password, e.g. for "1256"
press the TIME, TEMP, PRT and PAPER keys in that sequence. If the
wrong key is pressed, once all four digits are filled on the LCD, the
meter will again show "----" so that the entire password can be reentered.
VIEWING TEMPERATURE, TIME & DATE (FOR HI 9171,
HI 9174, HI 9181 & HI 9184 ONLY):

If "°C ----" is displayed, it indicates that the temperature probe or
calibration test plug is not connected. This may also indicate the
possibility of a damaged probe cable. The channel # is displayed
together with "CH" (HI 9174 and HI 9184 only).
SETTING THE PRINTING INTERVAL FOR HI 9271 &
HI 9274 ONLY
Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.
Press the INTV and the UP keys and hold down the INTV key. The
display will show the log number while the printing interval will start
blinking.
Any interval can be selected from 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120 and
