and examine it carefully to make sure that no damage 

has occurred during shipment. If noticeable damage 

is evident, contact your local Hanna office.

Note:

 

Save all packing material until you are 

sure that the instrument functions correctly. All 

defective items must be returned in the original 

packing together with the supplied accessories.

General Description

The HI99165 is a portable pH and temperature 

meter designed for pH measurement in cheese. 
Throughout the cheese making process, pH control is 

critical to ensure consistent fermentation and food safety. 

If the pH is too low, the cheese may be prone to a brittle or 

pasty texture, as well as growth of mold after packaging. If 

the pH is too high, the cheese may become too firm, and can 

potentially be dangerous for consumption due to the risk of 

pathogen formation. The pH must be carefully monitored to 

detect deviation from the optimal range, which can create 

problems with texture, taste, and public safety of cheese.
FC242D electrode has a stainless steel sheath and 

conical tip to ensure quick, easy measurements and 

fast response. FC242D pH electrode features a built-

in temperature sensor and is ideal for measurements 

in semi-solid samples such as cheeses.
Each meter is supplied with:

•  FC242D pH/temperature probe with DIN 

connector and 1 m (3.3’) cable

•  pH 4.01 & 7.01 Buffer sachets
•  HI700642 Electrode cleaning solution 

sachets for cheese deposits (2)

•  100 mL Beaker (1)
•  1.5V AAA Batteries (3)
•  Rugged carrying case
•  Instruction manual and visual quick start guide

Warranty

The meter is warranted for a period of two years against defects in 

workmanship and materials when used for their intended purpose 

and maintained according to instructions. The electrode is warranted 

for a period of six months. This warranty is limited to repair or 

replacement free of charge. Damage due to accidents, misuse, 

tampering or lack of prescribed maintenance is not covered. If service 

is required, contact your local Hanna office. If under warranty, report 

the model number, date of purchase, serial number and the nature of 

the problem. If the repair is not covered by the warranty, you will be 

notified of the charges incurred. If the instrument is to be returned 

to Hanna Instruments, first obtain a Returned Goods Authorization 

(RGA) number from the Technical Service department and then 

send it with shipping costs prepaid. When shipping any instrument, 

make sure it is properly packaged for complete protection.

Maintenance:

•  While unpacking, the appearance of salt deposits  

  around the protective cap is normal. The salt deposits  

  will dissolve when rinsed with water.
•  After use, rinse the electrode with water and replace the  

  protective cap filled with a few drops of HI70300 storage  

  solution. If HI70300 is not available, use pH buffer.

DO NOT USE DISTILLED OR DEIONIZED WATER FOR 

STORAGE PURPOSES.
