The HANNA HI 2212 and HI 2213 are microprocessor based pH and
temperature bench meters.
HI 2213 can also measure Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) in mV
range. Relative mV feature is also provided.
pH measurements are compensated for temperature effect manually or
automatically with the HI 7662temperature probe.
Calibration can be performed at up to three-points using two custom
buffers and five standard buffers.
The GLP feature provides data consistency.
A calibration due alarm can be set to alert the user that too much time
elapsed since the last pH calibration.

POWER CONNECTION
Plug the 12 VDC adapter into the power supply socket.
Notes:•These instruments use non volatile memory to retain the pH,
mV, temperature calibrations and all other settings, even
when unplugged.
•Make sure a fuse protects the main line.
ELECTRODE AND PROBE CONNECTIONS
For pH or ORP measurements connect an electrode with internal reference
to the BNC connector on the back of the instrument.
For electrodes with a separate reference connect the electrode’s BNC to the
BNC connector and the reference electrode plug to the reference socket.
For temperature measurements and automatic temperature compensation
connect the temperature probe to the appropriate socket.
INSTRUMENT START-UP
•Turn the instrument on by pressing the ON/OFF switch located on
the rear panel.
•All LCD tags are displayed and a beep is sounded while the instruments
perform a self test.
pH MEASUREMENTS
Make sure the instrument has been calibrated before
taking pH measurements.
•Submerse the electrode tip and the temperature
probe approximately 3 cm (1¼”) into the sample
to be tested and stir gently. Allow time for the
electrode to stabilize.
•The pH is displayed on the primary LCD and the temperature on the
secondary LCD.
•If the reading is out of range, the closest full-scale value will be
displayed blinking on the primary LCD.

Ifmeasurementsaretakensuccessivelyindifferentsamples,itisrecommended
to rinse the electrode thoroughly with deionized water or tap water and
then with some of the next sample to prevent cross-contamination.
The pH reading is affected by temperature. In order to measure the pH
accurately, the temperature effect must be compensated for. To use the
Automatic Temperature Compensation feature, connect and submerse
the HI 7662 temperature probe into the sample as close as possible to
the electrode and wait for a few seconds.
If the temperature of the sample is known, manual temperature
compensation can be used by disconnecting the temperature probe.
The display will show the last temperature reading
with the “ºC” tag blinking.
The temperature can now be adjusted with the
ARROW keys (from –20.0 ºC to 120.0 ºC).
mV/ORP MEASUREMENTS (HI 2213)
An optional ORP electrode must be used to perform ORP measurements
(see Accessories).
Oxidation-Reduction Potential (REDOX) measurements provide the
quantification of the oxidizing or reducing power of the tested sample.
The surface of the ORP electrode must be clean and
smooth in order to obtain an accurate measurement.
•Press RANGE to enter mV range.
•Submerse the tip of the ORP electrode 3 cm (1¼”)
into the sample to be tested and allow a few
seconds for the reading to stabilize.
•The instrument displays the mV reading on the primary LCD and the
temperature on the secondary LCD.
•If the reading is out of range, the closest full-scale value will be
displayed blinking on the primary LCD.

RELATIVE mV MEASUREMENTS (HI 2213)
•Press RANGE until “rEL” message will be displayed on the secondary
LCD line for one second and “mV” tag will blink. After one second the
temperature will be displayed on the secondary LCD.
The reading displayed by the instrument is equal to the difference
between the current mV input value and relative mV offset established in
the relative mV calibration.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS
Connect the HI 7662 temperature probe to the
appropriate socket and turn the instrument on.
Submerse the temperature probe into the sample and
allow the reading on the secondary LCD to stabilize.
MEMORY FUNCTION
Press and hold down MEM key to store the last reading
in the meters memory. The “MEM” tag will be
displayed.
Press MR (memory recall) key to display the memorized
reading. The “MEM” tag will be displayed.

9
Calibrate the instrument frequently, especially if high accuracy is
required.
The instrument should be recalibrated:
•Whenever the pH electrode is replaced.
•At least once a week.
•After testing aggressive chemicals.
•If “CAL” “INTV” tags are blinking during measurement.
Every time you calibrate the instrument use fresh buffers and perform an
electrode Cleaning Procedure (see page 26).
PREPARATION
Pour small quantities of the buffer solutions into clean beakers. If
possible, use plastic or glass beakers to minimize any EMC interferences.
For accurate calibration and to minimize cross-contamination, use two
beakers for each buffer solution. One for rinsing the electrode and one for
calibration.
If you are measuring in the acidic range, use pH 7.01 or 6.86 as first
buffer and pH 4.01 as second buffer. If you are measuring in the alkaline
range, use pH 7.01 or 6.86 as first buffer and pH 10.01, 9.18 as second
buffer.
PROCEDURE
Calibration can be performed up to three-points.
For accurate measurements, a three-point calibration is recommended.
However, a one or two point calibration can also be used.
The calibration buffers can be selected from the calibration buffer list that
includes custom buffers and the memorized standard buffers:
•pH 4.01, 6.86, 7.01, 9.18 and 10.01.
The custom buffers allow the user to calibrate in a buffer solution different
from a standard one. Up to two custom buffers can be set in SETUP menu
(see page 17). Each custom buffer value can be changed in a ±1.0 pH
window around the set value (in according with temperature), during
calibration, when it is selected; the “BUFFER pH” tag will blink.
The instruments will automatically skip the buffer used during calibration
and the buffers which are in a ±0.2 pH window, around one of the
calibrated buffers.
All new calibrations will override existing stored calibration data in a
±0.2 pH window. The slopes adjacent to the new points will be reevaluated.

THREE-POINT CALIBRATION
•Submerse the pH electrode and the temperature
probe approximately 3cm (1¼”) into a buffer
solution and stir gently. The temperature probe
should be close to the pH electrode.
•Press CAL. The “CAL” and “
BUF
” tags will
appear and the “7.01” buffer will be displayed
on the secondary LCD.
•If necessary, press the ARROW keys to select a different buffer value.
•The “ ” tag will blink on the LCD until the reading is stable.
•When the reading is stable and close to the
selected buffer, the “READY” tag will be
displayed and the “CFM” tag will blink.
•Press CFM to confirm calibration.
•The calibrated value will be displayed on the
primary LCD and the second expected buffer value
on the secondary LCD.
•After the first calibration point is confirmed, submerse the pH electrode
and the temperature probe approximately 3 cm (1¼”) into the
second buffer solution and stir gently. The temperature probe should
be close to the pH electrode.
•If necessary, press the ARROW keys to select a different buffer value.
•The “ ” tag will blink on the LCD until the reading is stable.
•When the reading is stable and close to the
selected buffer, the “READY” tag will be
displayed and the “CFM” tag will blink.
•Press CFM to confirm calibration.
•The calibrated value is then displayed on the
primary LCD and and the third expected buffer
value on the secondary LCD.
•After the second calibration point is confirmed,
submerse the pH electrode and the temperature
probe approximately 3 cm (1¼”) into the next buffer solution and
stir gently. The temperature probe should be close to the pH electrode.
•If necessary, press the ARROW keys to select a different buffer value.
