The log-on-demand function is activated by simply pressing one but­ton, while for automatic logging, the user can select a time interval from 1 to 180 minutes. All logged data can be transferred to a PC by placing the instrument on the HI 9200 infrared interface, connected to the computer serial port. The connection is handled with the HI 92000 Windows® com­patible software from HANNA instruments®. HI 98810 accepts one temperature probe while HI 98840 can be connected to 4 separate probes at the same time.
All models use the HI 762 series of thermistor probes by HANNA instruments®, and can be powered with batteries or with a 12 Vdc supply.
To prolong battery life, the backlight and printing features are dis­abled when the batteries are getting low; the "LOBAT" indication is displayed on LCD to warn the user. 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. The meters are equipped with an internal lithium battery that pow­ers the clock circuit even in the absence of power supplies.
For long term field and lab applications, these meters can be connected to a 12 Vdc adapter.
Each meter can also be uniquely identified by the user by assigning an ID code.

Last calibration date is stored automatically after a successful calibra­tion. The last calibration date can be displayed through setup code #10 (see "Setup Mode" section for details).
CALIBRATION ALARM TIME-OUT
Every time it is turned on, the meter checks if the time-out time, fixed at 1 year, has expired. It is possible to enable/disable this feature through setup code #11. The default value is "0n".
If the time has expired, the message "Cal date" scrolls across the LCD. The "DATE" symbol will blink to remind to the user to perform a new calibration soon.
GLP AND RS232 (HI 98810 and HI 98840 only)
GLP data (ID code & last calibration date) can be retrieved from a PC through RS232 communication feature (see "Data transfer to PC").

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 meters use plain paper rolls 38 mm width. To insert a new roll open the paper cover pulling it gently and take the cylinder away.
Insert the paper edge in the printer slot and feed the printer by pressing the PAPER key.
Allow about 5 cm (2") of paper to exit from the printer and replace the paper cover.
MEMORY ORGANIZATION
HI 98810 - HI 98840 only
Logged data are stored in the internal EEPROM and are retained even if batteries and external power are disconnected.
MEMORY CAPACITY
• 14000 data samples divided into 16 lots (lots 01 to 16)
• 9999 data samples maximum for a single channel
• 300 data samples for the Log on demand (lot 00).
TIMED LOG (lots 01 to 16)
Each time a new logging period starts, it automatically starts from the next available lot. If the last lot was the 16th, the new logging period restarts from lot 01 overwriting previously logged data.
When Timed logging memory is full, the meter overwrites the oldest lot data progressively reducing the old lots. In this case the starting time, date and the dimension of the old lot are updated.
Note: The oldest lot data are erased without any warning message. Note: Timed logging memory can be entirely erased through the
setup code 06.
If the meter is powered only by the external power supply and there is a temporary power black out during logging, when power returns, the logging continues normally if no samples have been lost, otherwise the current lot is ended and a new lot starts. If printer is enabled, the "...Stop..." message will be printed. In any case, during scrolling the former lot will be preceded by the "Interrupted Lot" message and the latter by "Continuation Lot" to indicate the interruption.
LOG ON DEMAND (Lot 00)
When Log on demand data area is full the meter shows the "FULL" message to warn the user that the data are not stored in memory. Erase the memory area through setup code 05 to continue logging data on demand.
The printing/logging thermometers are factory programmed to auto­matically diagnose a fault and to display error codes on the LCD.
PRINTER ERROR
Whenever a printer fault condition is detected, the printer stops and the message "Printer error" scrolls across the upper LCD with the error code (see below) fixed on the secondary one.
1 = Motor locked 2 = Printer clutch jammed 3 = Selection lever fault
I2C BUS ERROR
In case of an I2C bus fatal error due for example to a defective EEPROM or RTC, the message "Serial bus error" keeps scrolling across LCD from right to left indefinitely. Meter should be returned for repair (see warranty section).

TEMPERATURE PROBES
When the batteries are inserted and no power adapter is connected, the meter can recognize different batteries charge levels.
1. Fully charged batteries. The backlight and printer can be
enabled.
2. Weakening batteries - "LOBAT" symbol blinks on LCD. The
backlight and printer are automatically disabled and it is not possible to enable them until new batteries are inserted or an external power adapter is connected.
3. Weak batteries - "LOBAT" symbol stays still on lower LCD.
Backlight and printer are disabled and meter can work for about 20 hours. If in Timed logging mode with the power down function enabled this time can be longer.
4. Dead batteries - LCD shuts off. The instrument stops working to
avoid erroneous readings.
Note It is not possible to activate backlight and printer when the
instrument is in a low battery condition. If the user attempts to
enable these functions without replac-
ing the batteries or connecting the
external power adapter, the meter will
show "batt" on LCD.
Battery replacement must only take place in a non hazardous area using 1.5V alka­line AA type batteries.
In order to replace run down batteries, simply remove the two screws on the rear cover of the instrument and replace the four 1.5V AA batteries with new ones, paying attention to the correct polarity.
A 12 Vdc power adapter can also be used to power the unit (see "Accessories").
Note: The instrument uses the following configuration.
The use of HANNA HI 710005 or HI 710006 voltage adapters with the proper polarity configuration, is recommended.
However, the meters can be used with other adapters. In this case, remember to check the correct polarity of the adapter before connect­ing it to the meter.
