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 is used in conjunction with the pH electrode to utilize the
instrument's ATC capability, but it can also be used independently to take
temperature measurements. If the probe is disconnected, temperature can be
set manually with the ARROW keys (see page 10 for details).
Turn the instrument ON by pressing ON/OFF.
ON / OFF
At start-up the display will show all the used segments for a few seconds (or while
the button is held), followed by the percentage indication of the remaining
battery charge, then enters measurement mode.

pH MEASUREMENTS
To take a pH measurement remove the electrode
protective cap and simply submerge the tip of the
electrode (4cm/1½”) and the temperature probe
into the sample to be tested.
If necessary, press RANGE until the display changes
to the pH mode.
Allow for the electrode to adjust and reading to
stabilize (hourglass symbol turns off).
The LCD will show the pH measurement together
with the temperature of the sample.
9
RANGE SETUP
In order to take more accurate pH measurements, make sure that the
instrument is calibrated (see page 12 for details).
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 instrument
to measure the pH accurately, temperature must be taken into consideration. If
the sample temperature is different from the temperature at which the pH
electrode was kept, allow a few minutes to reach thermal equilibrium.
To use the instrument's Automatic Temperature Compensation feature, submerge
the temperature probe into the sample as close to the electrode as possible and
wait for a few seconds.
If manual temperature compensation (MTC) is desired, the temperature
probe must be disconnected from the instrument.
The display will show the default temperature of 25 ºC,
the last measured temperature reading, or the last set
temperature, with the “ºC” (or “ºF”) tag blinking.
The “MTC” tag and up & down arrows symbols light up on the LCD to indicate
that the instrument is in MTC mode and the arrow keys can be used to enter
the desired temperature value.
Note: When in MTC the user can press and hold the ARROW keys, and the
instrument will start incrementing / decrementing the temperature value.
The instrument keeps measuring and the display is updated periodically.
ORP MEASUREMENTS (HI 98171 & HI 98172 only)
To perform ORP measurements, connect an optional ORP electrode (see Accessories
section) to the instrument and turn it ON.
If necessary, enter the mV mode by pressing RANGE
until the display changes to mV.
Submerge the ORP electrode tip (4cm/1½”) into the
sample to be tested and wait a few seconds for the
reading to stabilize.
Measurements within the ±699.9 mV range are
displayed with 0.1 mV resolution, while outside this
range the resolution automatically switches to 1 mV.
The “ATC” (or “MTC”) tag is turned off because mV
readings are not temperature compensated.
For accurate ORP measurements, the surface of the electrode must be clean
and smooth. Pretreatment solutions are available to condition the electrode
and improve its response time (see Accessories section, page 45).
RELATIVE mV MEASUREMENTS (HI 98171 & HI 98172 only)
To enter Relative mV mode, press 2nd then MODE
while in mV measurement mode. The relative mV
reading will be displayed on the primary LCD and the
current temperature value on the secondary LCD.
10
The relative mV reading is equal to the difference between the absolute mV input
value and relative mV offset established in the relative mV calibration (see page 18).
ISE MEASUREMENTS (HI 98172 only)
To perform ion concentration measurements, connect an optional ISE electrode
to the instrument and turn it ON.
If necessary, enter the ISE mode by pressing RANGE
until the display changes to ppm.
Submerge the ISE electrode tip (4cm/1½”) into the
sample to be tested and wait a few seconds for the
reading to stabilize.
The ppm reading will be displayed on the primary LCD
and the current temperature value on the secondary LCD.
The “ATC” (or “MTC”) tag is turned off because ppm
readings are not temperature compensated.
In order to take accurate ISE measurements, make sure that the appropriate ion
charge was set in SETUP menu, according to the ion type that is to be measured
and the instrument was calibrated (see ISE CALIBRATION for details, page 19).
Notes: • When the reading is out of range, the display will flash the closest
full-scale value.
• The instrument will display “----” on the primary LCD if it is not
calibrated. Perform at least a one-point calibration if the ion charge
is -1, 1, -2, 2 or a two-point calibration for the “undF” option
selected in SETUP menu in order to take ISE measurements.
• If using the pH electrode while in mV mode, the instrument will
measure the mV generated by the pH electrode.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS
Connect the HI 7662 temperature probe to the appropriate socket. Immerse the temperature probe into the
sample and allow the reading on the secondary LCD to
stabilize.
Note: The temperature can be displayed in Celsius degrees (ºC) or in Fahrenheit
degrees (ºF) (see SETUP for details, page 25).
BACKLIGHT FEATURE
The instrument is provided with a Backlight feature,
which can be easily toggled on and off through the
keyboard by pressing LIGHT.
LIGHT
Note: The backlight automatically shuts off after a set period (see SETUP
for details, page 25) with no buttons pressed.

pH CALIBRATION
It is recommended to calibrate the instrument frequently, especially if high
accuracy is required.
The pH range should be recalibrated:
• Whenever the pH electrode is replaced.
• At least once a week.
• After testing aggressive chemicals.
• When calibration alarm time out is expired - “CAL DUE” tags blink (if
feature is enabled).
• If “Outside Cal Range” message blinks during pH measurement (the
measurement range is not covered by current calibration).
PROCEDURE
The instrument offers a choice of 7 memorized buffers (1.68, 4.01, 6.86, 7.01,
9.18, 10.01 and 12.45 pH) and also allows the user to enter five more pH
values for calibration, “Custom 1” to “Custom 5”. The set custom buffers are
the buffer values at 25 ºC.
When a custom buffer is selected during calibration, the “Custom” tag is
displayed on the LCD and its value can be changed in a ±1.0 pH window,
around the set value, in accordance with current temperature.
For accurate pH measurements, it is recommended to perform a five-point
calibration. However, at least a two-point calibration is suggested.
The instrument will automatically skip the buffers used during calibration and
the buffers which are in a ±0.2 pH window, around one of the calibrated buffers.
• Pour small quantities of selected buffer solutions into clean beakers. For
accurate calibration use two beakers for each buffer solution, the first one for
rinsing the electrode and the second one for calibration.
• Remove the protective cap and rinse the electrode with some of the buffer
solution to be used for the first calibration point.
FIVE-POINT CALIBRATION
• Immerse the pH electrode and the temperature
probe approximately 4 cm (1½”) into a buffer
solution of your choice (pH 1.68, 4.01, 6.86,

The display is provided with a 5-dot bargraph (unless the feature is disabled)
which gives an indication of the electrode status after calibration as follows:
Bargraph indicationCondition value
All 5 dots steady81 to 100% of life
4 dots steady61 to 80%
3 dots steady41 to 60%
2 dots steady21 to 40%
1 dot steady1 to 20%
1 dot blinking0%
Only frame is ONNo info available
The “condition” bargraph remains active until the end of the calibration day.
Note: The electrode condition is evaluated only if current calibration includes
at least two.
CLEAN ELECTRODE
Each time pH calibration is performed, the instrument internally compares the
new calibration with the one previously stored.
When this comparison indicates a significant difference, the “CLEAN” “ ” tags
blink on the LCD to advise the user that the pH electrode may need to be cleaned
(see ELECTRODE CONDITIONING & MAINTENANCE section for details, page 41).
After cleaning, perform a new calibration.
Note: If the calibration data are cleared, the comparison is done with the
default values.

process.
18
ISE CALIBRATION (HI 98172 only)
It is recommended to calibrate the instrument frequently, especially if high
accuracy is required.
The ppm range should be recalibrated:
• Whenever the ISE electrode is replaced.
• When the ion charge is changed in SETUP menu.
• At least once a week.
• After testing agressive chemicals.
• When calibration alarm time out is expired - “CAL DUE” tags blink (if
feature is enabled).
Due to electrode conditioning time, the electrode must be kept immersed a few
seconds to stabilize. The user will be guided step by step during calibration
with easy to follow tags on the LCD. This will make the calibration a simple and
error-free procedure.
PROCEDURE
Select the proper ion charge in SETUP menu (see SETUP for details, page 25).
Note: If “undF” option is selected in SETUP menu, calibration must be performed
in at least two points, otherwise “----” message will be displayed on the LCD
if exiting calibration after confirming the first used standard.
Pour small quantities of the buffer solutions into clean beakers. If possible, use
plastic beakers to minimize any EMC interferences.
For accurate calibration and to minimize cross-contamination, use two beakers for
each buffer solution. One for rinsing the electrode and one for calibration.
The instrument offers a choice of six memorized standard solutions: 0.1, 1, 10,
100, 1000, 10000 ppm and calibration up to five points.

21
GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE (GLP)
GLP is a set of functions that allows storage and retrieval of data regarding the
maintenance and status of the electrode.
All data regarding pH, Rel mV or ISE calibration is stored for the user to review
when necessary.
EXPIRED CALIBRATION
The instrument is provided with a real time clock (RTC), in order to monitor the
time elapsed since the last pH calibration.
The real time clock is reset every time the instrument is calibrated and the
“expired calibration” status is triggered when the instrument detects a
calibration time out. The “CAL” “DUE” tags will start blinking to warn the
user that the instrument should be recalibrated.
The calibration time out can be set (see SETUP for details, page 25) from OFF
(function disabled) to 7 days.
For example, if a 4 days time out has been selected, the instrument will issue
the alarm exactly 4 days after the last calibration.
However, if at any moment the expiration value is changed (e.g. to 5 days),
then the alarm will be immediately recalculated and appear 5 days after the
last calibration.
Notes: • When the instrument is not calibrated or calibration is cleared
(default values loaded) there is no “expired calibration”, and the
display always shows the “CAL” “DUE” tags blinking.
• When an abnormal condition in the RTC is detected, the instrument
forces the “expired calibration” status.
LAST pH CALIBRATION DATA
The last pH calibration data is stored automatically after a successful calibration.
To view the pH calibration data, press 2nd then GLP when the instrument is
in pH measurement mode.
The instrument will display the time (hh:mm) of the
last calibration.
Press the ARROW keys to view the next calibration
parameter (pressing the key):
• The date (mm.dd.yyyy) of the last calibration.
• The pH calibration offset.
22
• The pH calibration slope (the GLP slope is the

TEMPERATURE CORRELATION
FOR pH SENSITIVE GLASS
The resistance of glass electrodes partially depends on the temperature. The lower
the temperature, the higher the resistance. It takes more time for the reading to
stabilize if the resistance is higher. In addition, the response time will suffer to a
greater degree at temperatures below 25 ºC (77 ºF).
Since the resistance of the pH electrode is in the range of 50 – 200 Mohm, the
current across the membrane is in the pico Ampere range. Large currents can
disturb the calibration of the electrode for many hours.
For these reasons high humidity environments, short circuits and static discharges
are detrimental to a stable pH reading.
The pH electrode’s life also depends on the temperature. If constantly used at
high temperatures, the electrode life is drastically reduced.
Typical Electrode Life
Ambient Temperature1 – 3 years
90 ºC (194 ºF)Less than 4 months
120 ºC (248 ºF)Less than 1 month
Alkaline Error
High concentrations of sodium ions interfere with readings in alkaline
solutions. The pH at which the interference starts to be significant depends
upon the composition of the glass. This interference is called alkaline error and
causes the pH to be underestimated. Hanna’s glass formulations have the
indicated characteristics.

ELECTRODE CONDITIONING
& MAINTENANCE
Not present in gel electrodes.
PREPARATION PROCEDURE
Remove the electrode protective cap.
DO NOT BE ALARMED IF ANY SALT DEPOSITS ARE PRESENT. This is normal
with electrodes and they will disappear when rinsed with water.
During transport tiny bubbles of air may have formed inside the glass bulb.
The electrode cannot function properly under these conditions. These bubbles
can be removed by "shaking down" the electrode as you would do with a glass
thermometer.
If the bulb and/or junction are dry, soak the electrode in HI 70300 Storage
Solution for at least one hour.
41
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 faster response, unscrew the fill hole screw during measurements.
For AmpHel® electrodes:
If the electrode does not respond to pH changes, the battery run down and
the electrode should be replaced.
MEASUREMENT
Rinse the pH 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.
See that the sleeve holes of the ORP probe are completly submerged.
STORAGE PROCEDURE
To minimize clogging and assure a quick response time, the glass bulb and the
junction of pH electrode 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 HI80300 Storage Solution or, in its absence, Filling Solution (HI 7071 or HI 8071
for single junction and HI 7082 or HI 8082 for double junction electrodes). Follow
the Preparation Procedure on page 41 before taking measurements.
Note: NEVER STORE THE ELECTRODE IN DISTILLED OR DEIONIZED WATER.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Inspect the electrode and the cable. The cable used for connection to the
instrument 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.
pH Probe Maintenance
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.
42
pH CLEANING PROCEDURE
• GeneralSoak in Hanna HI 7061 or HI 8061 General
Cleaning Solution for approximately ½ hour.
• ProteinSoak in Hanna HI 7073 or HI 8073 Protein
Cleaning Solution for 15 minutes.
• InorganicSoak in Hanna HI 7074 Inorganic Cleaning Solution
for 15 minutes.
• Oil/greaseRinse 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.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USERS
Before using these products, make sure they are entirely suitable for the
environment in which they are used.
Operation of these instruments in residential areas could cause unacceptable
interferences to radio and TV equipment, requiring the operator to follow all
necessary steps to correct interferences.
The glass bulb at the end of the pH electrode is sensitive to electrostatic
discharges. Avoid touching this glass bulb at all times.
During operation, ESD wrist straps should be worn to avoid possible damage
to the electrode by electrostatic discharges.
Any variation introduced by the user to the supplied equipment may degrade
the instruments’ EMC performance.
To avoid electrical shock, do not use these instruments when voltages at the
measurement surface exceed 24 Vac or 60 Vdc.
To avoid damage or burns, do not perform any measurement in microwave
ovens.
Hanna Instruments reserves the right to modify the design, construction
and appearance of its products without advance notice.
