PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
HI 2314 and HI 2315 are bench top multi-range conductivity meters for
the laboratory.
Four measurement ranges ensure the highest resolution and precision for
your measuring requirements.
Single point calibration is performed manually simply by adjusting a
knob on the front of the meter.
Temperature compensation of the readings is automatic for the HI 2315
and HI 23151 models, thanks to the temperature sensor incorporated in
probe, with userselectable temperature coefficient.
With HI 2314 the temperature compensation is manual and the tempe-
rature value can be also set with a knob.
The rugged probe with platinum 4-ring sensor responds faster than
conventional stainless steel models and can be also used for measuring
highly acidic or alkaline samples, or at high temperature.
In addition, the HI 23151 model offers analog output of 0 to 5V that
represents the full conductivity scale across all 4 ranges.

CALIBRATION
The instrument should be calibrated at least once a month, or when
the probe is changed.
INITIAL PREPARATION
For better accuracy of measurements it is recommended to use the
calibration solution with a conductivity value as close as possible to
the sample to be measured. See the “Accessories” section for a
complete list of available HANNA calibration solution.
Rinse the probe thoroughly in distilled water.
If possible, use plastic beakers to minimize any EMC interferences.

calibration solution, e.g. HI 7030
(12.88 mS/cm @ 25°C), into a plastic
beaker.
•Immerse the probe in the solution while
completely submerging the holes of the
sleeve. Tap the probe lightly on the bottom
of the beaker to remove any air bubbles
trapped inside the sleeve. Measure the

CONDUCTIVITY VERSUS
TEMPERATURE CHART
The conductivity of an aqueous solution is the measure of its ability to
carry an electrical current by means of ionic motion.
The conductivity invariably increases with increasing temperature.
It is affected by the type and number of ions in the solution and by
the viscosity of the solution itself. Both parameters are temperature
dependent. The dependency of conductivity on temperature is
expressed as a relative change per degree Celsius at a particular
temperature, commonly as %/°C.
Since a small difference in temperature causes a large change in
conductivity, the readings are usually normalized at 25°C.
HI 2314 manually compensates for temperature differences with a
fixed coefficient of 2%/°C.
HI 2315 automatically compensates for temperature differences, and
features an user-selectable coefficient that can be manually adjusted
through a front knob, from 0 (no compensation) to 2.5%/°C.
•Adjust the Temp. Coefficient knob to 2%/°C.
•Select the appropriate range:
199.9 µS for HI 7033
1999 µS for HI 7031
19.99 mS for HI 7030
199.9 mS for HI 7034
Note: If the display shows range limit value blinking, there is an
over-range condition. Select the next higher range.
•Allow a few minutes for the reading to stabilize, then adjust the
Calibration knob to read the calibration solution conductivity
value at 25°C (77°F), e.g. 12.88 mS/cm.
•All subsequent measurements will be referenced to 25°C (77°F).
•To reference the measurements to 20°C (68°F), adjust the
Calibration knob to read the calibration solution conductivity
value at 20°C (68°F), e.g. 11.67 mS/cm. See the “Conductivity
vs. Temperature Chart” on page 13.
•Calibration is now complete and the instrument is ready for use.

PROBE MAINTENANCE
After every series of measurements, rinse
the probe with tap water.
If a more thorough cleaning is required,
remove the sleeve and clean the probe
with a cloth or a nonabrasive detergent.
After cleaning the probe, always
recalibrate the instrument.
The 4-ring platinum probe body is made
of glass. For this reason great care while
handling the probe must be taken.
•Immerse the probe into a solution sample and adjust the
Temp. Coefficient knob to 0% (no compensation).
•Condition sample and probe at 25°C, and note the conductivity
reading C25.
•Condition sample and probe to a temperature t°C (approximately
5°C to 10°C different from 25°C), and note the conductivity
reading Ct.
•The temperature coefficient (β) of the solution is then calculated
using the following formula:
β= 100 x (Ct- C25) / [(t - 25) x C25]
The above procedure is suitable for determining the temperature
coefficient in the laboratory where the temperature of the solution can
be determined and controlled.
If this is not possible, e.g. during on-site measurements, the following
procedure should be used:
•Immerse the probe into the test solution and turn the
Temp. Coefficient knob to 0% (no compensation).
•Allow the conductivity reading to stabilize (the reading should
not change by more than ±0.2 mS within 1 minute) and
record the value, C.
•Repeat the procedure with a different solution temperature,
changed by more than 10°C. Wait for the reading to stabilize.
•Adjust the Temp. Coefficient knob until the display reads the
previously recorded C value.
•The value indicated by the knob is the temperature coefficient of
the solution.
