PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
COMBO is a combined pH/tempera-
ture/EC/TDS meter specially designed to
meet the needs of growers in greenhouses
and hydroponic applications.
You can simply install the meter above the
sample to be tested for continuous
measurement.
The HI 1293D pH-electrode & the EC/TDS/
Temperature probe have been molded with
pipe thread (1/2’’ NPT), which allows the
user to attach them to an in-line system.
Measurements are accurate and the meter
can be calibrated at one or two points for
pH and at single point for EC/TDS.
You no longer need to worry about battery
changes either: the unit runs without
interruption on 12 VDC power supply.

SPECIFICATIONS
Recommendations for Users
Before using this product, make sure that it is entirely
suitable for the environment in which it is used. Operation
of this instrument in residential areas could cause unac-
ceptable interferences to radio and TV equipment.
The glass bulb at the end of the electrode is sensitive to
electrostatic discharges. Avoid touching this glass bulb at all
times. During operation, ESD wrist straps should be worn to
avoid possible damage to the electrode by electrostatic
discharges.
Any variation introduced by the user to the supplied equip-
ment may degrade the instrument’s EMC performance.
To avoid electrical shock, do not use this instrument when
voltages at the measurement surface exceed 24 VAC or 60
VDC. To avoid damages or burns, do not perform any
measurement in microwave ovens.

Taking measurements
Select the pH, EC or TDS mode with the SET/
HOLD button.
Immerse the probes in the solution to be tested.
In order to ensure better accuracy, probes should
not touch or stand close to the walls or bottom
of the sample vessel.
The pH, EC or TDS value au-
tomatically compensated for
temperature is shown on the
primary LCD while the sec-
ondary LCD shows the
temperature of the sample.
The measurements should be
taken when the stability sym-
bol on the top left of the

Note:
Measurements have to be taken with both probes
(pH-electrode and EC/TDS/temperature probe)
immersed in the same vessel.

pH ELECTRODE MAINTENANCE
• When not in use, rinse the electrode with
water to minimize contamination and store it
with a few drops of storage (HI 70300) or pH 7 (HI
7007) solution in the protective cap after use. DO
NOT USE DISTILLED OR DEIONIZED WATER
FOR STORAGE PURPOSES.
• If the electrode has been left dry, soak in a
storage or pH 7 solution for at least one hour to
reactivate it.
• To prolong the life of the pH electrode, it is
recommended to clean it monthly by immersing
it in the HI 7061 cleaning solution for half an hour.
Afterwards, rinse it thoroughly with tap water
and recalibrate the meter.

Notes:
• Before taking any measurement make sure
the meter has been calibrated.
• To clear a previous calibration, press the
MODE button after entering the calibration
mode. The lower LCD will display ESC for 1
second and the meter will return to normal
measurement mode. The CAL symbol on the
LCD will disappear. The meter will be reset to
the default calibration.
• If measurements are taken in different samples
successively, rinse the probes thoroughly to
eliminate cross-contamination; and after clean-
ing, rinse the probes with some of the sample
to be measured.
lower LCD. Release the button. The LCD will
display pH 7.01 USE (or pH 6.86 USE if you have
selected the NIST buffer set). The CAL tag blinks
on the LCD.
• For a single-point pH calibration, place the
electrode and the probe in any buffer from the
selected buffer set (eg. pH 7.01 or pH 4.01 or
pH 10.01). The meter will recognize the buffer
value automatically.
If using pH 4.01 or pH 10.01, the meter will
display OK for 1 second and then return to
measurement mode.
If using pH 7.01, after recognition of the buffer
the meter will ask for pH 4.01 as second cali-
bration point. Press the MODE button to return
to measurement mode or, if desired, proceed
with the 2-point calibration as explained below.
NoteNote
NoteNote
Note: for better accuracy it is always
recommended to carry out a two-point
calibration.
• For a two-point pH calibration, place the
electrode and the probe in pH 7.01 (or 6.86 if
you have selected the NIST buffer set). The
meter will recognize the buffer value and then
display pH 4.01 USE.
Rinse the electrode thoroughly to eliminate cross-
contamination.
Place the electrode in the second buffer value
(pH 4.01 or 10.01, or, if using NIST, pH 4.01 or
9.18). When the second buffer is recognized,
the LCD will display OK for 1 second and the
meter will return to normal measurement mode.

Note: for storing calibration data in the non-
volatile memory, turn the meter OFF and then
ON again through the MODE button.

meter is calibrated.

• From EC measurement mode, press and hold
the MODE button until CAL is displayed on the
lower LCD.
• Release the button and immerse the probe in
the proper calibration solution: HI 70031 (1413
µS/cm) for HI 991404 and HI 70030 (12.88 mS/cm) for
HI 991405.
• Once the calibration has been automatically
performed, the LCD will display OK for 1 second
and the meter will return to normal measure-
ment mode.
• Since there is a known relationship between
EC and TDS readings, it is not necessary to
calibrate the meter in TDS
