PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
Remove the instrument from the packing
material and examine it carefully to make
sure that no damage has occurred during
shipment. If noticeable damage is found,
immediately notify your Dealer.
Each pH/mV simulator is supplied complete
with:
•HI 7858/1 BNC/BNC Coaxial Cable;
Note: Save all packing material until the in-
strument has been observed to func-
tion correctly because all defective
items must be returned to the Dealer
in their original packing.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
HI 8427 and HI 931001 are portable pH/mV
simulators designed specifically for calibrat-
ing pH and mV (ORP) meters. Two calibra-
tion ranges are provided:
from 0 to 14 pH and from -1900 to 1900 mV
with HI 8427;
from 0 to 14 pH and from -1000 to 1000 mV
with HI 931001.
HI 931001 provides with pH/mV values at
25°C.
HI 8427 allows the manual temperature com-
pensation and is equipped with a HIGH IM-
PEDANCE key and LEAKAGE LED to verify
if the connection cable is in perfect condi-
tion.
A low battery indicator will be lit when the
simulator battery runs low.

pH meter to read the correct value.
Note: The °C knob is not effective during
pH 7 calibration, since pH 7 is used
as reference.
HI 931001:
•Connect the simulator to
the pH meter using the
HI 7858/1 cable provided.
•Manually set the tempera-
ture compensation of your
meter to 25°C.
•Switch the simulator on
and select the pH mode
by pressing the RANGE
key.
•Make sure that the two additional deci-
mal points are not displayed. If they are
displayed, change the battery of the simu-
lator before performing the calibration.
•Turn the Coarse and Fine knob to set
any desired pH value and make sure that
the pH meter you are checking reflects
the correct result (e.g. 7.01 pH).

•Switch the pH meter on
and select pH 7 on the
simulator. Make sure that
the LOW BATTERY LED
is not lit. If it is lit, change
the battery of the simula-
tor before performing the
calibration.
•Verify that the pH meter
displays the pH 7 mes-
sage. If not, adjust the pH
meter until the correct
reading pH 7 is displayed
(refer to the pH meter in-
struction manual).
•Select any other pH value
on the simulator and set
the °C knob to the de-
sired working temperature
(e.g. pH 4 at 30°C).
•If your pH meter has a temperature probe
connected to it, set the °C knob to the
measured temperature displayed by your
pH meter.
If your meter is manually compensated
for temperature, adjust the temperature
settings for both the pH meter and the
simulator to the same temperature.

pH VALUES AT VARIOUS
TEMPERATURE
Temperature has an effect on pH. The cali-
bration buffer solutions are effected by tem-
perature changes to a lesser degree than
normal solutions (see table below).
This pH simulation will not be affected by
this chemical behavior.
Note: With HI8427 your pH meter will al-
ways show the pH buffer solution at
the standard temperature of 25ºC.

•Connect the simulator to
the cable (e.g.HI 7855).
•Press the HIGH IMPED-
ANCE key and observe
the LEAKAGE LED while
you are turning the simu-
lator rotary knob to any
pH/mV value.
•If the LED does not light,
the cable and connector
going to the meter are in
perfect condition.
•If the LED is lit, it means
there is a leakage prob-
lem with the cable and
connector and you should
check/replace it.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The instruments use a 9 volt battery that lasts
for approximately 100 hours or 500 hours of
continuous use with HI 8427 and HI 931001
respectively.
In the event of dead battery
the LOW BATTERY LED of
HI 8427 will be lit or two addi-
tional decimal points will be
displayed on HI 931001.
Battery replacement must only take place in a
non hazardous area using the battery types
specified in this instruction manual (see
page 11).
To change battery, slide the bottom back
cover, replace the old battery and replace the
cover.

Recommendations for Users
Before using these products, make sure that they are entirely suitable for the environment
in which they are used.
Operation of these instruments in residential area could cause unacceptable interfer-
ences to radio and TV equipments, requiring the operator to take all necessary steps to
correct interferences.
Any variation introduced by the user to the supplied equipment may degrade the
instruments' EMC performance.
In HI 8427, with an applied field of 3V/m, no leakage is signaled by the LEAKAGE led.
To avoid damages or burns, do not perform any measurement in microwave ovens.
