GENERAL DESCRIPTION

EC and TDS are instruments specially de­signed to meet the needs of growers in greenhouses hydroponic
applications. They are equipped with a large display for an
easy reading also from distance.
You can simply hang the meter right above the sample to
be tested for continuous measurement and the unit will run
without interruption on 12 Vdc power supply.
The housing has been completely sealed against vapors and
humidity.
The meters are supplied with a probe that automatically
compensates for the temperature variation. The probe is
easy to clean and requires little maintenance.
Measurements are highly accurate and the meters can be
calibrated at one point.
In addition, the two TDS use a specially
devised formula which perfectly reflects the needs of growers.
In fact, the TDS factor of the HI 983301N model is 0.7
while for the HI 983301N/5 is 0.5.

CALIBRATION ACCESSORIES

CE DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

TAKING MEASUREMENTS

• Turn the meter on by connecting the 12 Vdc power
adapter to the meter and to the mains.

• Immerse the tip (4 cm / 1½”)
of the probe in the sample.

Note: In order not to affect the

accuracy of measurements,
it is important that the
probe body does not touch
nor stand close to the side
walls of the vessel. The tip
may lay on the bottom of
the beaker.

• The LCD will show the EC or
TDS value. Any initial varia­tion of reading may be due to
temperature compensation and
to the fact that the probe is
adjusting itself to the new
sample. Allow the reading to
stabilize and the meter will
start continuous monitoring.

PROBE MAINTENANCE

To minimize clogging and provide longer life for the probe,
it is recommended to clean it often or at least once a month.

• Immerse the tip of the probe in HI 7061 cleaning
solution for one hour or clean it with detergents used to
wash irrigation pipelines and fertilizer vessels.

• If a more thorough cleaning is required, brush the
metal pins with very fine sandpaper.

• After cleaning or before storing the probe, rinse it with
tap water.

For the greatest accuracy, frequent calibration of the instru­ment is recommended.

• Pour a small quantity of the
indicated calibration solution in
a beaker:

1413 µS/cm for HI 983302N,
1500 ppm for HI 983301N or
1382 ppm for HI 983301N/5.

If possible, use plastic beakers to minimize any EMC
interference.

• Immerse the EC or TDS probe in the
solution, making sure that metal pins
are completely submerged.

Note: the probe should be submerged ap-

proximately 4 cm (1½”) in the solution
and it does not touch nor stand close
to the side walls of the beaker. The
tip can lay on the bottom of the
beaker.

• Wait for a couple of minutes for thermal equilibrium to
be reached.

• Tap the probe gently on the bottom, then shake it
while rotating to make sure no air bubbles have
remained trapped.

• Adjust the calibration trimmer
with the supplied screwdriver
until the display shows 1.41
(mS) for HI 983302N, 1500
(ppm) for HI 983301N or 1380
(ppm) for HI 983301N/5.

• The calibration is now complete and the instrument is
ready for use.

The meters should be recalibrated at least once a month
and after performing probe cleaning procedure.

Recommendations for Users

Before using these products, make sure that 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.

The metal band at the end of the probe is sensitive to electrostatic dis­charges. Avoid touching this metal band at all times.

During operation, ESD wrist straps should be worn to avoid possible dam­age to the probe by electrostatic discharges.

Any variation introduced by the user to the supplied equipment may de­grade the instrument’s EMC performance.

To avoid electrical shock, do not use these instruments when voltages at
the measurement surface exceed 24 Vac or 60 Vdc.

Use plastic beakers to minimize any EMC interferences.
To avoid damages or burns, do not perform any measurement in micro-

wave ovens.
