1.5 PROBE DESCRIPTION & INSTALLATION
HI9828HI9828
HI9828 is supplied with the multisensor probe for dissolved oxygen, tempera-
HI9828HI9828
ture, conductivity, pH and redox measurements.
1.5.1 Sensors description
The galvanic D.O. sensor allows to have stable readings in
a few seconds. The thin permeable membrane isolates the
sensor elements from the testing solution, but allows oxygen
to enter. Oxygen that passes through the membrane causes
a current flow, from which the oxygen concentration is determined. Before installing the probe, it is necessary to activate the D.O. sensor; see paragraph 1.5.3 for details.
The conductivity sensor uses the 4-ring technology that allows stable and linear readings without any interference in
the whole range.
The pH/ORP sensor features a glass membrane for pH readings and a Pt sensor for redox measurements.
To avoid clogging problems and ensure a fast response, the
pH bulb must be kept moist at any time. Store the electrode
with few drops of
HI70300HI70300
HI70300 storage solution in the protec-
HI70300HI70300
tive cap.
The EC sensor also works as matching pin
and must be always mounted to have correct pH readings.
For correct redox measurements, the surface of the electrode must be clean and smooth, and a pretreatment procedure should be performed to ensure quick responses.
10
Since the Pt/PtO system depends on the pH, the pretreatment of the electrode
may be determined by the pH and the redox potential values of the solution to be
measured.
As a general rule, if the ORP (mV) reading corresponding to the solution pH
value is higher than the values in the table below, an oxidizing pretreatment is
necessary; otherwise perform a reducing pretreatment.

1.5.3 D.O. sensor activation
The D.O. probe is shipped dry. To hydrate the probe and prepare it for use proceed as follows:
• Remove the black & red plastic cap. This cap is used for shipping purposes only
and can be thrown away.
• Insert the supplied O-ring in the membrane.
• Rinse the supplied membrane with electrolyte while shaking it gently. Refill with
clean electrolyte. Gently tap the membrane over a surface to ensure that no air
bubbles remain trapped. To avoid damaging the membrane, do not touch it
with your fingers.
• With the sensor facing down screw the cap clockwise to the end of the threads.
Some electrolyte will overflow.
1.5.4 Installation
The multisensor probe can support 3 different electrodes, DO, EC, pH/ORP. To
make easier the installation, the 3 sensors have 3 proper color codes.
For correct sensor installation, proceed as follow:
• Grease the O-ring gaskets.
• Insert the sensor while paying attention to the correct alignment with the corre-
sponding colored connector; fix the sensor by screwing the locking nut with
the supplied tool.
• When all sensors are mounted, screw the protection sleeve for taking mea-
surements or the transparent beaker for calibration.
• With the meter off, connect the probe to the DIN socket on
the bottom of the meter by aligning the pins and pushing
in the plug. Tighten the nut to ensure a good connection.

replaced and after a cleaning procedure.
When a 3-point calibration is performed, all the old data are overwritten, while with a 1 or 2-point calibration procedure the meter will use
the previous data stored with the last 3-point calibration for the missing
points.
4.2.1 Preparation
Pour small quantities of selected buffer solutions into clean beakers. If possible,
use plastic beaker to minimize EMC interferences. To minimize cross contamination, use two beakers for each buffer solution: the first one for rinsing the electrode and the second one for calibration.

4.2.3 Error list
If the meter does not accept a pH calibration point, a short message is displayed
to indicate the possible error source. See for example the following screens:
These are the available messages:
• “Input out of scale”: the pH value is out of scale.
• “Wrong buffer”: this message means that the difference between the pH reading and the selected buffer is too big. Check if the proper calibration buffer has
been selected.
• “Invalid temperature”: this message means that the buffer temperature is outside the allowed range.
• “Wrong & Contaminated buffer / Check electrode”: this message means that
the buffer is contaminated or the electrode is broken or very dirty.
• “Wrong & Check electrode / Clean electrode”: this message means that the
electrode is broken or very dirty.
• “Wrong & Clear old calibration”: this message indicates an erroneous slope
condition. This message appears if the slope between current and previous
calibration points exceeds the slope window (80% to 110%). Press the CLEAR
sofkey to clear the old data and continue the calibration procedure, or press
ESC to quit the pH calibration mode.

4.3 DISSOLVED OXYGEN CALIBRATION
If D.O.% saturation range is calibrated, D.O. concentration range will also be
calibrated, and vice-versa.
The D.O.% saturation value is referred to the D.O. concentration in air (100%).
For this reason it is recommended to calibrate the probe near the area where the
measurements will be taken.
Also note that the D.O. concentration values are based on D.O.% saturation,
temperature, salinity and atmospheric pressure. It is recommended to use a standard solution or a reference D.O. meter to compare readings during calibration.
The calibration of D.O.% saturation range can be performed at 1 or 2 standard
points (0% and 100%), or at a single custom point (50 to 500%).
The calibration of D.O. concentration range can be performed at a single custom point (4 to 50 mg/L).
4.3.1 Procedure
Choose the D.O. calibration mode in the main
calibration menu, then select the calibration type
using the arrow keys and confirm by pressing OK.

APPENDIX A - PROBE MAINTENANCE
HI9828HI9828
HI9828 is supplied complete with a probe maintenance kit that includes
HI9828HI9828
HI7042SHI7042S
HI7042S (electrolyte solution for D.O. sensor), 5 membranes and O-rings for
HI7042SHI7042S
D.O. sensor, a small brush for cleaning EC and D.O. sensors, 5 O-rings for
sensor connectors and a syringe with grease to lubricate these O-rings.
General maintenance
After use rinse the probe with tap water and dry it. The pH electrode bulb must be
kept moist. Dry the D.O. and EC sensors.
Maintenance of D.O. sensor
For a top performance probe, it is recommended to replace the membrane every
2 months and the electrolyte once a month.
Proceed as follows:
• Unscrew the membrane by turning it counterclockwise.
• Rinse the supplied spare membrane with some electrolyte
while shaking it gently. Refill with clean electrolyte.
• Gently tap the membrane over a surface to ensure that no air bubbles
remain trapped.
• With the sensor facing down, completely screw the cap clockwise. Some
electrolyte will overflow.
If any deposit scales the sensors, gently brush the sensor surface with the supplied
brush, while paying attention to not damage the plastic body.
Maintenance of pH probe
• Remove the electrode protective cap. Do not be alarmed if any salt deposits are
present. This is normal with pH electrodes and they will disappear when rinsed
with water.
••
• Shake down the electrode as you would do with a clinical thermometer to
••
eliminate any air bubbles inside the glass bulb.
••
• If the bulb and/or junction are dry, soak the electrode in
••
solution for at least one hour.
••
• To minimize clogging and ensure a quick response time, the glass bulb and the
••
junction should be kept moist and not allowed to dry.
••
• Replace solution in the protective cap with a few drops of
••
solution. Tap water may also be used for a very short period (couple of days).
