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 printing/logging conductivity meter is sup­plied complete with:

• HI 76302W Conductivity Probe with
1 m (3.3') screened cable

• AA size Alkaline Batteries (4 pcs)

• Paper roll (10 pcs)

• Rugged carrying case

Note: Save all packing materials until you are

sure that the instrument functions cor­rectly. All defective items must be re­turned in the original packaging together
with the supplied accessories.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The HI933300 and HI933301 are multirange
conductivity meters equipped with printer and
datalogger (HI933300 only).

The measurement interval is user-selectable
from 1 to 180 minutes, and the temperature
coefficient β can vary from 0.0 to 3.0%/°C.

These microprocessor-based meters provide
automatic calibration with 5 memorized val­ues:

• 0 µS/cm (µmhoS/cm)

• 84 µS/cm (µmhoS/cm)

• 1413 µS/cm (µmhoS/cm)

• 12880 µS/cm (µmhoS/cm)

• 80000 µS/cm (µmhoS/cm).

This makes the calibration procedure ex­tremely simple.

HI933300 can also log and directly print the
conductivity and temperature measurements.

1

The stored data can be retrieved at a later
time for printing or can be transferred to a
computer through an optional HI9200 infrared
transmitter. The HI933300 will transfer the
data in seconds through the infrared lights
with no need for a cable between the trans­mitter and the meter.

The internal software allocates memory space
to store up to 8,000 readings.

The meters provide automatic temperature
compensation with the supplied HI76302W
4-ring probe with integrated temperature sen­sor. The sensors in the meter's probe utilize
the latest technology in conductivity mea­surement.

The four-ring potentiometric method incorpo­rated into the probe has been proven to pro­vide higher accuracy than the more common
amperometric method.

HI933300 and HI933301 have a range of 0 to
199900 µS/cm and can be used in any sample
from deionized water to brine.

The probe's stainless steel rings have a large
surface for better response and ease of clean­ing.

The meters are equipped with an automatic
shut-off system and a 12VDC socket for maxi­mum versatility in both laboratory and field
use.

Other features include: on-board time and
date, calibration factors stored in Eprom, au­tomatic low battery alert system.

TAKING CONDUCTIVITY MEASUREMENTS

Make sure that the meter has been cali­brated before taking any measurements (see
page 18).

To take a measurement, place the probe
into the solution with the
holes completely sub­merged. Tap and stir the
probe to remove all air
bubbles that may be trapped
inside the PVC sleeve.

HI933300 and HI933301 are
auto-ranging conductivity meters, and the
reading automatically switches from one
resolution to the next, from pure water @

0.1µS/cm up to 199900µS/cm.
If the LCD displays four

dashes, the meter is out of
range.

HI76302W conductivity probe has a built-in
temperature sensor and automatically com­pensates for any temperature variation.

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 of considerable difference,
a longer time should be allowed before taking
readings.

16

Once the reading stabilizes
the measurement is complete.

mS

If further measurements are
desired, rinse the probe with
tap water and test the next sample.

Note: The probe body and sleeve are made

of PVC and are very susceptible to
damage due to temperatures exceed­ing 50°C (122°F).

If the probe is exposed to high tem­perature, the bond between the rings
and the probe body may become im­paired and the probe will not function
properly, in which case it has to be
replaced.

TAKING TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS

Taking temperature measurement with
HI933300 and HI933301 is very easy.

Press the RANGE key until the display shows
the °C mode.

°C

RANGE

Simply immerse the probe
into the sample and allow the
reading to stabilize.

AFTER MEASUREMENTS

When all measurements are completed fol­low the probe maintenance procedure de­scribed at page 48.

17

CONDUCTIVITY CALIBRATION

It is recommended that HI933300 and
HI933301 are calibrated frequently for great-

est accuracy, especially when used often or
in samples with widely differing conductivity
values. For best results choose conductivity
solutions that are closest in value to the
sample to be measured.

For accurate calibra-

RINSE CALIBRATION

tion, use two bea­kers for each solu­tion: the first one for
rinsing the probe,
the second one for
calibration. In this way cross contamination
is minimized.

If possible, to minimize any EMC interfer­ences, use plastic beakers for the solutions.

These meters can also be calibrated in air at

0.0µS/cm.
For example if your measurements are in the

2 to 20 mS/cm range you should use HI7030
or HI 8030 (12880µS/cm=12.88 mS/cm) con­ductivity calibration solution.

A complete list of all the Hanna Instruments
calibration solution is given in the Accesso­ries section (see page 50).

Press the RANGE key to se­lect the conductivity measure­ment mode.

RANGE

Ensure that the probe is con­nected to the meter securely.

Insert the probe into the PVC sleeve with the
holes towards the top (the end nearest to the
cable) of the probe.

PROCEDURE FOR SINGLE POINT
CALIBRATION WITH BUFFER SOLUTION

HI933300 and HI933301 have auto-buffer rec-

ognition: you can simply place the probe into
the type of buffer solution that you need to
calibrate and perform the single point calibra­tion very quickly as described below.

Choose one of the following calibration solu­tions:

84.0 µS/cm (cal. solution HI7033/HI8033)
1413 µS/cm (cal. solution HI7031/HI8031)

12.88mS/cm(cal. solution HI7030/HI8030)

80.0 mS/cm(cal. solution HI7034/HI8034)

• Fill a beaker with conduc­tivity calibration solution

INITIAL PREPARATION

Prepare a container of ice and water and
another container with hot water (at a tem­perature of at least 50°C/122°F). Place insu­lation material around the containers to mini­mize temperature changes.

Use a ChecktempC or a calibrated thermom­eter with a resolution of 0.1° as reference
thermometer.

DATA TRANSFER TO PC

HI933300 contains infrared emitting circuitry.

Set the meter to TIME mode
and simply place your
datalogger on a HI 9200 Infra­red Transmitter (ensuring that
the two infrared LEDs are

TIME

placed on top of each other)
and the contents of the
memory can then be down­loaded to your PC through
the HI9200's RS 232 port.

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

Using the HI9200 Infrared Transmitter, all
recorded data can be fed to your Personal
Computer for easy reproduction, storage or
elaboration without the interference of cables
or cords between the meter and the transmit­ter.

Data transmission from the instrument to the
PC is now much easier with new HI92000
Windows® compatible application software of­fered by Hanna Instruments.

Windows® is registered Trademark of "Microsoft Co."

42

HI 92000 allows you to use the powerful
means of the most widely used spread sheet
programs available (e.g.Excel©, Lotus 1-2-3©).

Simply open your file downloaded by HI 92000
from your spread sheet program and then it
is possible to make any elaboration available
with your software (e.g. graphics, statistic
analysis).

User friendly, HI 92000 offers a variety of fea­tures and has on line help to support you
throughout any situation.

To install HI 92000 you need a 3.5" drive and
a few minutes to follow the instructions con­veniently printed on the disk label.

FAULT FUNCTIONS

HI933300 and HI933301 are factory pro-

grammed to automatically diagnose a fault.
This is displayed with error codes on the
LCD.

Error codes:
PEr 0, PEr 1, PEr 2 = 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 47).

PEr 9 = Printer jammed - re-

set the printer (see
page 47).

44

MEMORY ORGANIZATION (HI933300)

Capacity: 8000 data samples which are di­vided into 16 pages.

Each time a new logging period starts, it
automatically starts from a new page.

If the logging function is still on, and the
available page is 0 the meter will overwrite
the first lot of data in the existing memory.
During logging the meter automatically re­turns to the oldest page in memory and if it
contains data, it will overwrite. In this case
the first log will not correspond to the oldest
set of data

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

ATTENTION:

Data is stored into memory until the batteries
are removed.

If battery replacement is required and data is
not to be lost, plug the adapter in and pro­ceed with battery replacement (see page 49).
Only once the batteries have been replaced it
is possible to unplug the adapter without
loosing the stored data.

PRINTER MAINTENANCE

TO CHANGE THE INK CARTRIDGE

When printouts become faint, it might be neces­sary to change the ink cartridge. Contact your
Hanna authorized center.

TO INSERT THE PAPER ROLL

The HI933300 and HI933301 use plain paper
rolls 38 mm width. To insert a new roll is very
easy.

Open the paper cover pulling it gently.

Take the carton cylinder away.

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

PAPER

46

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

TO RESET PRINTER

Investigate the cause of the printer jam (e.g. the
paper caught under the cover that has prevented
printer from advancing paper feed).

Press the PAPER key to reset the printer.

PAPER

PROBE MAINTENANCE

Rinse the probe with
tap water after every
series of measure­ments. If a more thor­ough cleaning is re­quired, remove the
PVC sleeve and
clean the probe with
a cloth or a nonabra­sive detergent. When
reinserting the sleeve
onto the probe, be
sure that the sleeve
is in the right direc­tion with the four
holes towards the
cable end.
After cleaning the
probe, re-calibrate
the instrument.

The probe body is in
PVC and for this rea­son must never come
into close contact
with sources of heat.
If the probe is ex­posed to high tem­peratures, detach­ment of the rings
might occur, resulting in a serious impairment of
probe function. In such cases, the probe has to
be replaced.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When the batteries are
run down "LOBAT" is
displayed on the Liquid

It is recommendable to purchase the Hanna
HI 710005 and HI 710006 voltage adapters
that use the proper polarity configuration.
Anyway, HI 933300 and HI 9333001 can be
used with other adapters. In this case, re­member to check the correct polarity of your
adapter before connecting it to the meter.
