INITIAL PREPARATION
Each meter is supplied complete with batteries. Remove the back
cover, unwrap the batteries and install them while paying attention
to the polarity. Alternatively, connect the supplied 12 Vdc adapter to
the power adapter plug.
To prepare the instrument for use, connect the pH or ORP (
HI 98240
only) electrode to the connector located on the top of the instrument.
To switch the meter on, press the ON/OFF key.
The batteries charge status or "LINE" message
(if external power adapter is connected) will be
displayed on the LCD for a few seconds.
The meter is now ready to operate.
To maximize battery life, the meter is automatically switched off after a
user selectable period of non-use (default is 5 minutes). If in logging
mode, after the period of non-use, the meter will continue to monitor
pH or mV (
HI 98240
only) and temperature periodically at the end of
every logging interval. Only the "LOG" indication will be visible on
LCD. While storing data in memory, during the sleep mode, the
reading will appear briefly on the LCD.
Before proceeding with pH measurements follow the calibration proce-
dure.
Note:
When the use of an alternate function (FNC, CFM and CAL) is
requested, press and hold the ALT key first and then the
second listed key.
Note:
To prevent damage to the electrode, remove the pH electrode
from the sample before turning the meter off.
If the meter is OFF, detach the electrode from the meter before
immersing the electrode in the storage solution.
