POWER CONNECTION

Remove the battery cover on the back of the meter; attach 2 fresh 9V
batteries and replace the cover.
Alternatively, plug the optional 12VDC adapter (

HI 710005

 - 110VDC,

or 

HI 710006 

- 220VDC) into the DC socket. Plug the adapter into the

outlet.

Note

: Insure the main line is surge protected.

Note

:

 

Always turn the meter off before unplugging it to insure no data

is lost.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

•

Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.

•

The meter will first perform an LCD auto
diagnostic test by displaying a full set of
figures.

• Then it will show a scrolling

"c --- Hanna Inst", whereas
the meter will indicate the
exact meter code (C 216 or
C 226) .

•

When the LCD displays “----”, the meter
is ready. On the secondary LCD "P1" will
appear to inform that the first parameter
measurement procedure (Alkalinity both
for C 216 and C 226) can be performed.

•

Press the PROGRAM 

▼

 and PROGRAM 

▲

 keys to select the

desired parameter.

For the program number, see the parameters reference tables on
page 19 or look at the list printed on the mask of the meter.
