GENERAL DESCRIPTIONGENERAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONGENERAL DESCRIPTION
HI 9835 and HI 98360 are state-of-the-art, handheld conductivity
meters, designed to provide laboratory results and accuracy under harsh
industrial conditions.
These instruments are provided with a series of new diagnostic features
and messages on the LCD which add an entirely new dimension to the
measurement of EC, TDS and NaCl, by allowing the user to dramatically
improve the reliability of the measurement.
The autoranging feature of the EC and TDS ranges automatically sets the
meter to the scale with the highest possible resolution.
The Auto Endpoint feature automatically freezes the display when a
stable reading is reached.
The measurements are automatically (ATC) or manually (MTC)
compensated for temperature. The temperature coefficient value is
user selectable. It is possible to disable the temperature compensation
and measure the absolute (uncompensated) conductivity.
The HI 98360 also has a logging feature (up to 500 records) and
allows data transfer to computer through the USB port.
The Battery Error Preventing System (BEPS) detects when the batteries
become too weak to ensure reliable measurements.
The backlight feature is automatically disabled when batteries are getting
low and a clear indication is displayed to warn the user of this condition.
However, the meter continues to measure correctly even when the low
battery indication is displayed. The meter automatically switches itself off
when the batteries are too weak to support proper function.
In addition, the meters allow the user to enter an ID code to uniquely
identify the instrument.

TEMPERATURE COMPENSATIONTEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
TEMPERATURE COMPENSATIONTEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
The EC reading is affected by temperature and changes in ion concentration.
To measure only one variable, conductivity measurements are normally
compensated to a fixed temperature. This reference temperature is
configured in SETUP parameter rEF. See page 18.
Three options of temperature compensation are available:
Automatic (Atc): The probe has a built-in temperature sensor; the
value of the temperature is used to automatically compensate the EC/TDS
measurement to a reference temperature. This is the default option.
Manual (Mtc): The temperature value, shown on the lower LCD, can be
manually set by the user with the up and down arrow keys to the
solution temperature. The “ºC” or “ºF” symbol blinks when this option is
active. The instrument compensates the conductivity measured at this
temperature to the reference temperature.
No Compensation (NoTC): The temperature reading shown on the
lower LCD is not taken into account. The reading displayed on the upper
LCD is the absolute EC or TDS value without temperature compensation
applied. The measurement changes due to temperature and ion
concentration. The second “ºC” or “ºF” symbol blinks when this option is
active.
10
To select the desired option press the 2nd then ATC key. The option tag
will blink for a few seconds then remain active on the LCD.
If temperature compensation is active, measurements are compensated
using a default temperature coefficient of 1.90 %/°C to the 25°C
reference temperature. This is a natural water tc value.
It is possible to view or select a different temperature coefficient (TC) in the
0.00 to 6.00 %/°C range by entering the setup mode and selecting the
“tc” item (see SETUP section for details).
Notes: • The default compensation mode is Atc.
• If no temperature probe is detected, Atc mode can not be
selected and the instrument displays “----” on the secondary
LCD.
• If the temperature reading is out of the -20.0 – 120.0 ºC
range and Atc option is selected, the “ºC” tag will blink and
the closest interval limit will be displayed.
• By pressing the ARROW keys the displayed temperature
value is changed. This value is used to compensate the
EC/TDS reading.
Temperature compensation is performed by means of the following formula:
Compensated conductivity =
where T is the measured temperature and T
Measured conductivity
1+TC25(T-T
)
ref
is the reference
ref
temperature (20 or 25°C).
Note that if a solution has a temperature coefficient TC with T
=25°C,
ref
when changing the reference temperature to 20°C, the temperature
coefficient must be manually adjusted by the user according to the
following formula:
TC20=
TC
25
1-TC25/20
For example, TC20=2.10%/°C when TC25=1.90%/°C.
Always set reference temperature to 25°C when measuring TDS.
TDS MEASUREMENTS
Press the Range key while in EC range. The instrument will switch to TDS
measuring range. The TDS reading will be displayed on the primary LCD
and the temperature reading on the secondary LCD.
• If the reading is out of range, the full-scale value (100.0 for MTC/ATC
mode or 400.0 for uncompensated TDS) will be displayed blinking.
11
NaCl MEASUREMENTS
Percent sodium chloride on these meters refers to percentage of seawater
salinity. 100% is equal to seawater. The scale goes from 0 - 400%.
Press the Range key while in EC range until NaCl is displayed on the LCD.
The instrument will display the NaCl reading on the primary LCD and the
temperature reading on the secondary LCD line.
• If the reading is out of range, the full-scale value (400.0%) will be
displayed blinking.

confirmed. In this case check if the correct standard has been
used or clean the probe by following the Probe Maintenance
(see page 31).
•If the meter is in MTC or ATC mode
and the standard temperature is
out of the 0.0 - 60.0 ºC interval,
“WRONG” “ºC” tags and the
temperature will be displayed
blinking.
•For best results choose an EC standard value close to the
sample to be measured.
•In order to minimize any EMC interference, use plastic or
glass beakers.
•It is possible to set the cell constant value directly in according
with the specifications of the electrode indicated by the
manufactures, without following the calibration procedure.
To set the cell constant, enter SETUP mode and select “CELL”
(see SETUP for details, page 18).

The conductivity of an aqueous solution is a measure of its ability to carry
an electrical current by means of ionic motion.
The conductivity invariably increases with increasing temperature.
It is affected by the type and number of ions in the solutions and by
the viscosity of the solution itself. Both parameters are temperature
dependent. The dependency of conductivity on temperature is
expressed as a relative change per Celsius degrees at a particular
temperature, commonly as %/ºC.
The following table lists the temperature dependence of HANNA EC
calibration standards.

TEMPERATURE CALIBRATIONTEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
(for technical personnel only)
All the instruments are factory calibrated for temperature.
Hanna’s temperature probes are interchangeable and no temperature
calibration is needed when they are replaced.
If the temperature measurements are inaccurate, temperature recalibration
should be performed.
21
For an accurate recalibration, contact your dealer or the nearest Hanna
Customer Service Center, or follow the instructions below.
• Prepare a vessel containing ice and water and another one containing
hot water (at approximately 50 ºC or 122 ºF). Place insulation
material around the vessels to minimize temperature changes.
• Use a calibrated thermometer with a resolution of 0.1 ºC as a
reference thermometer. Connect the EC probe to the appropriate
socket.
• With the instrument off, press and hold down the Range & keys,
then power on the instrument. The “CALIBRATION” tag will
appear and the secondary LCD will show “0.0 ºC”. The primary LCD
will display the measured temperature or the ”----” message, if the
