Battery replacement
The meter displays the remaining percentage when turned
- +
on. When the battery level is below 5%, the
symbol on
the bottom left of the LCD lights up to indicate a low battery
condition. If the battery level is low enough to cause erroneous readings, the Battery Error Prevention System (BEPS)
turns the HI991000 off.
To ensure a watertight seal, the batteries are accessed by
separating the front and back halves of the meter. The
4 Philips-head screws are located on the 4 corners of the
back of the meter. Once the back has been removed, carefully replace the 4 AAA batteries located in the battery compartment, paying attention to their polarity. Re-attach the
back, making sure that the gasket is in place.

OPERA TIONAL GUIDE
To connect the probe
Connect the HI 1291 probe to the DIN socket on the top of
the HI991000 by aligning the pins and pushing in the plug.
Tighten the nut to ensure a good connection. Remove the
protective cap from the HI1291 probe before taking any
measurements.
To turn HI991000 on and to check battery status
Press the ON/OFF/MODE button for 2 seconds. All the used
segments on the LCD will be visible for a few seconds,
followed by a percent indication of the remaining battery
life. Eg. % 100 BA TT.
To turn HI991000 off
Press the ON/OFF/MODE button from normal measuring
mode. OFF will appear on the bottom display.
To freeze the display
Press the SET/HOLD button for 2 seconds until HOLD appears on the bottom display. Eg. pH 5.73 hold.
Press any button to return to normal mode.
pH MEASUREMENTS & CALIBRATION
• Make sure the meter has been calibrated.
• If the electrode has been left dry, soak in pH 7 to reacti-
vate.
• Place the tip of the probe in the sample to be tested.
• Shake the probe briefly while submerged and wait until
the ! symbol on the top left of the LCD is turned off.
• The LCD will show the pH value automatically compen-
sated for temperature and the temperature of the sample.
• If measurements are taken in different samples succes-
sively, rinse the probe tip thoroughly to eliminate crosscontamination; and after cleaning, rinse the probe tip with
some of the sample to be measured.
• Press the SET/HOLD button for changing the buffer set.
• Press the ON/OFF/MODE button to return to normal pH
measuring mode.
pH calibration
• Press and hold the ON/OFF/MODE button for 3 seconds,
until OFF on the bottom display is replaced by CAL.
• Release the button. The LCD will display pH 7.01 USE
or pH 6.86 USE (if you selected the NIST buffer set).
• For a

TO CHANGE THE TEMPERATURE UNIT (FROM °C T O °F)
Press the ON/OFF/MODE button for 6 seconds, until CAL
on the bottom display is replaced by TEMP and the current
temperature unit. Eg. TEMP °C.
Use the SET/HOLD button to change the temperature unit,
and then press ON/OFF/MODE until the meter returns to
normal measuring mode.
single point pH calibration, place the probe in any
buffer from the selected buffer set (eg. pH 7.01 or pH 4.01
or pH 10.01). The meter will recognize the buffer value
and will display OK for 1 second.
If the pH 7.01 buffer (or 6.86 if you selected the NIST
buffer set) was used, press the ON/OFF/MODE button to
return to the pH measuring mode.
two point pH calibration, place the probe in pH 7.01
(or 6.86, if you selected the NIST buffer set). The LCD will
display the recognized buffer value and OK for 1 second
and then display pH 4.01 USE.
Place the probe in the second buffer value (pH 4.01 or
10.01, or, if using NIST, pH 4.01 or 9.18). When the second buffer is recognized, the LCD will display OK for 1
second and the meter will return to normal measuring
mode.
Calibration buffer set
• Press the ON/OFF/MODE button for 6 seconds, until CAL
on the bottom display is replaced by TEMP and the current temperature unit. Eg. TEMP °C.
• Press the ON/OFF/HOLD button again to show the current buffer set: pH 7.01 BUFF (for 4.01/7.01/10.01) or pH
6.86 BUFF (for 4.01/6.86/9.18).
To reset to the default calibration
To clear a previous calibration, press the ON/OFF/MODE
button after entering the calibration mode. The bottom LCD
will display ESC for 1 second and the meter will return to
normal measuring mode. The “CAL” symbol on the LCD
will disappear. The meter will be reset to the default calibration.
