GENERAL DESCRIPTIONGENERAL DESCRIPTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTIONGENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Hanna pH 210, pH 211, pH 212 and pH 213 are microprocessor-
based pH and Temperature bench meters.

pH 211 and pH 213 can also measure ion concentration (ISE) and
Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) in the mV range.

pH measurements are compensated for temperature effect manually or
automatically with the HI 7669/2W temperature probe.

The instrument is equipped with a large easy-to-read LCD which shows
the pH (or mV) and temperature simultaneously, together with graphic
symbols.

The calibration process is guided step by step through clear indications on
the LCD. A stability indicator makes the calibration procedure error-free.

Through the RS232 serial port data can be transferred to a PC
(pH 212 and pH 213 only).

Hanna Instruments reserves the right to modify the design,

construction and appearance of its products without advance notice.

If measurements are taken successively in different samples, it is
recommended to rinse the electrode thoroughly with deionized water
or tap water and then with some of the next sample in order to
prevent cross-contamination.

The pH reading is affected by temperature. In order to measure the
pH accurately, the temperature effect must be compensated for.
To use the Automatic Temperature Compensation feature, connect
and submerge the HI 7669/2W temperature probe into the sample
as close as possible to the electrode and wait for a few seconds.

If the temperature of the sample is known,simple manual temperature
compensation can be performed by disconnecting the temperature probe.

The display will then show the default temperature
of 25 °C or the last recorded temperature reading

Calibrate the instrument often, especially if high accuracy is required.
The instrument should be recalibrated:

• Whenever the pH electrode is replaced.

• At least once a week.

• After testing aggressive chemicals.

PREPARATIONPREPARATION

PREPARATION

PREPARATIONPREPARATION

Pour small quantities of the buffer solutions into clean beakers. If
possible use plastic or glass beakers to minimize any EMC interferences.
For accurate calibration and to minimize cross-contamination, use two

beakers for each buffer solution: one for rinsing the electrode and one for
calibration.

If you are measuring in the acidic range, use pH 7.01 as first buffer
and pH 4.01 as second buffer. If you are measuring in the alkaline
range, use pH 7.01 as first buffer and pH 10.01 or pH 9.18 as
second buffer.

PROCEDUREPROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

PROCEDUREPROCEDURE

Calibration has a choice of five memorized buffers: pH 4.01, 6.86,

7.01, 9.18 and 10.01.
It is recommended to perform a two-point calibration. However, one-

point calibration is also provided by the instruments.

point, “READY” tag will appear and “CFM” tag will blink.

• Press CFM to confirm. The instrument returns
to measurement mode.

Note: If the reading is not close to the selected

CFM

calibration point, “WRONG” tag will blink.
Change the temperature probe and restart

All the instruments are factory calibrated for mV.
Hanna’s ORP electrodes are interchangeable and no mV calibration

is needed when they are replaced.
If the mV measurements are inaccurate, mV recalibration should be

performed.
For an accurate recalibration, contact your dealer or the nearest

Hanna Customer Service Center, or follow the instructions below.
A two or three-point calibration can be performed at 0.0 mV, 600.0

mV and 1800.0 mV.

• Attach to the BNC connector a mV simulator with an accuracy of
±0.1 mV.

• With the instrument off, press and hold down the MR&CFM
keys, then power on the instrument. The “CAL” tag will appear
and the secondary LCD will show 0.0 mV.

• Set 0.0 mV on the simulator.
When the reading is stable and close to the selected calibration

point, “READY” tag will appear and “CFM” tag will blink.

• Press CFM to confirm. The secondary LCD will display 600 mV.

• Set 600.0 mV on the simulator.
When the reading is stable and close to the selected calibration

point, “READY” tag will appear and “CFM” tag will blink.

• Press CFM to confirm. The secondary LCD will display 1800 mV.

• Set 1800.0 mV on the simulator.
When the reading is stable and close to the selected calibration

point, “READY” tag will appear and “CFM” tag will blink.

• Press CFM to confirm. The instrument returns to measurement
mode.

Notes: • If the reading is not close to the selected calibration point,

“WRONG” tag will blink. Verify calibration condition or
contact your vendor if you can not calibrate.

• Press CAL in any moment of the calibration process. The
instrument will return to measurement mode. If calibra­tion process is stopped after 600 mV is confirmed, the
600 mV range is calibrated and calibration parameters
are memorized.

Data transmission from the instrument to the PC can be done with
the HI 92000 Windows® compatible software (optional). HI 92000
also offers graphing and on-line help feature.

Data can be exported to the most popular spreadsheet programs for
further analysis.

To connect your instrument to a PC, use the optional Hanna HI 920010
cable connector. Make sure that your instrument is switched off and
plug one connector to the instrument RS232C socket and the other into
the serial port of your PC.

Notes: • Other cables than HI 920010 may use a different

configuration. In this case communication between in­strument and PC may not be possible.

• If you are not using Hanna Instruments HI 92000
software, please see the following instructions.

The resistance of glass electrodes partially depends on the temperature.
The lower the temperature, the higher the resistance. It takes more time
for the reading to stabilize if the resistance is higher. In addition, the
response time will suffer to a greater degree at temperatures below 25 °C.

Since the resistance of the pH electrode is in the range of 50-200 Mohms,
the current across the membrane is in the pico Ampere range. Large
currents can disturb the calibration of the electrode for many hours.

For these reasons high humidity environments, short circuits and
static discharges are detrimental to a stable pH reading.

The pH electrode’s life also depends on the temperature. If constantly
used at high temperatures, the electrode life is drastically reduced.

Typical Electrode Life

Ambient Temperature 1- 3 years
90 °C Less than 4 months
120 °C Less than 1 month

Alkaline Error

High concentrations of sodium ions interfere with readings in alkaline
solutions. The pH at which the interference starts to be significant
depends upon the composition of the glass. This interfe-rence is called
alkaline error and causes the pH to be underestimated. Hanna’s glass
formulations have the indicated characteristics.
