pH Probe
Thank you for selecting a Hanna Instruments®product. Please read this instruction guide before using
the HALO probe with the Hanna Lab App or with HI2202 edge®blu pH Bluetooth®meter. For additional
information on probe maintenance and calibration consult the Hanna Lab App “HELP” section or the edge blu
instruction manual.
IMPORTANT! During servicing and measurement, handle the probe with care. Do not drop probe on a hard
surface. It will permanently damage the probe. Utilize the clear protective cap to protect and keep the
pH bulb hydrated during transport and storage.
PREPARATION
Remove the probe from the clear protective cap. Save the
cap for probe storage.
1. Rinse off any storage solution or salts that may be on
the probe’s body.
2. Verify if there is solution inside the pH bulb. Shake the
probe down to restore continuity as the solution may
have moved up the stem during shipping.
