Product overview
The HQd series laboratory meters are used with digital IntelliCAL™ probes
to measure various parameters in water. The meter automatically
recognizes the type of probe that is connected to the meter. Measurement
data can be stored and transferred to a printer, PC or USB storage device
(Refer to Figure 1).
The HQd series meters are available in 3 models:
• HQ411d—pH/mV/ORP (Redox)
• HQ430d—Multi-parameter, single probe input
• HQ440d—Multi-parameter, dual probe inputs
Features common to all models:
• Automatic probe and parameter recognition
• Instrument guided calibration procedures
• Calibration data stored in the probe
• Probe specific method settings for regulatory compliance and Good
Laboratory Practice (GLP)
• Security Options
• Real-time data logging with a USB connection
• USB connectivity to PC/printer/USB storage device/keyboard
• Bi-directional communication with PC-based systems with a virtual
serial port connection
•Sample ID and Operator ID for data traceability
• Adjustable automatic shut-off

Installation
C A U T I O N
Personal injury hazard. Only qualified personnel should conduct the tasks
described in this section of the manual.
Connect to AC power
D A N G E R
Electrocution Hazard. AC power outlets in wet or potentially wet
locations MUST ALWAYS be provided with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupting (GFCI/GFI) circuit breaker. The AC-DC power adapter for
this product is not sealed and must not be used on wet benches or in
wet locations without GFCI protection.
The meter can be powered by AC power with the universal power adapter.
English 5

1. Turn off the meter.
2. Select the correct adapter plug for the power outlet from the adapter
kit (Figure 3).
3. Connect the universal power adapter to the meter.
4. Connect the universal power adapter to an AC receptacle.
5. Turn the meter on.

Install the batteries
WARNING
Explosion Hazard. Improper battery installation can cause release of explosive
gases. Insert batteries in proper orientation only. Use only new batteries from the
same manufacturer and lot.
N O T I C E
The battery compartment is not waterproof. If the battery compartment becomes
wet, remove and dry the batteries and dry the interior of the compartment. Check
the battery contacts for corrosion and clean them if necessary.
N O T I C E
When using nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, the battery icon will not indicate
a full charge after freshly charged batteries have been inserted (NiMH batteries
are 1.2 V versus 1.5 V for alkaline batteries). Even though the icon does not indicate
complete charge, 2300 mAH NiMH batteries will achieve 90% of instrument
operation lifetime (before recharge) versus new alkaline batteries.
N O T I C E
To avoid potential damage to the meter from battery leakage, remove the meter
batteries prior to extended periods of non-use.
The meter can be powered with AA alkaline or rechargeable NiMH
batteries. To conserve battery life, the meter will power off after 5 minutes
of inactivity. This time can be changed in the Display Options menu.
For battery installation refer to Figure 4.
1. Loosen the three battery cover screws and remove the battery cover.
Note: Do not remove the screws from the battery cover.
2. Install 4 AA alkaline or 4 AA nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.
Make sure that the batteries are installed in the correct polarity.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Note: Do not over-tighten the screws.

Standard operations
About calibration
Each probe uses a different type of calibration solution. Make sure to
calibrate the probes frequently to maintain the highest level of accuracy.
Note: For step-by-step instructions, refer to the documents that are included with
each probe.
The calibration icon can indicate that:
• the calibration timer has expired
•the LDO sensor cap should be replaced
• the calibration is out of range
• the calibration results are outside acceptance criteria settings
About sample measurements
Each probe has specific preparation steps and procedures for taking
sample measurements. For step-by-step instructions, refer to the
documents that are included with the probe.
About check standards
Run Check Standards verifies equipment accuracy by measuring a
solution of a known value. The meter will indicate if the Check Standard
passed or failed. If the Check Standard fails, the calibration icon is
shown until the probe is calibrated.
The meter can be set to automatically show a reminder for check standard
measurement at a specified interval with a specified acceptance criteria.
The reminder, value of the check standard, and acceptance criteria can
be changed. For step-by-step instructions, refer to the documents that are
included with the probe.
Use a sample ID
The sample ID tag is used to associate measurements with a particular
sample location. If assigned, stored data will include the sample ID.
1. Push the key.

Data management
About stored data
The following types of data are stored in the data log:
•Sample measurements: stored automatically each time a sample is
measured in the Press to Read or Interval Mode. When the continuous
measurement mode is used, data is stored only when Store is selected.
• Calibrations: stored only when Store is selected at the end of a
calibration. Calibration data is also stored in the IntelliCAL (R) probe.
• Check standard measurements: stored automatically each time a check
standard is measured (in the Press to Read or Interval Mode).
When the data log becomes full (500 data points), the oldest data point is
deleted when a new data point is added. The entire data log can be deleted
to remove data that has already been sent to a printer or PC ( key >
Delete Data Log). To prevent deletion of the data log by a user, use the
Security Options menu.
View stored data
The data log contains sample, calibration and check standard data. The
most recent data point in the data log is tagged as Data Point 001.
1. Push the key.
2. Select View Data Log to view the stored data. The most recent data
point is shown. The top of the screen shows whether the data is from
a sample reading, a calibration or a check standard. Push the key
to view the next most recent data point.
