PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
Remove the instrument from the packing
material and examine it to make sure that
no damage has occurred during shipping. If
there is any damage, notify your Dealer.
Note: Save all packing material until you
are sure that the instrument func-
tions correctly. All defective items
must be returned in the original pack-
ing with the supplied accessories.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
HI 8564 and HI93640 portable Thermo-Hy-
grometers measure both Temperature and
Relative Humidity.
HI93640 is a compact, easy to carry meter
with a convenient wrist-wrap. The built-in
thin film capacitance sensor assures accu-
rate humidity measurements from 5.0 to
95.0% RH with a resolution of 0.1%.
The RH probe contains both the sensor and
the electronic circuitry necessary to amplify
the RH as well as the temperature read-
ings. Another electronic circuit converts the
amplified signal into a digital readout in %
Relative Humidity.
Note: The RH probe sensor must never
come into contact with water or
other liquids.
HI8564 comes supplied with: HI70601/2,
detachable relative Humidity probe and a
9V battery.
HI93640 comes supplied with a 9V battery.

OPERATIONAL GUIDE
INSTRUMENT PREPARATION
Each meter is supplied complete with a 9V
battery. Slide off the battery compartment
cover on the back of the meter (see page 12),
unwrap the battery and install it.
To prepare HI8564 for use connect the RH
probetotheDINsocketonthetopofthemeter.
Turn the
meter on by
pressing the
ON/OFF key.
Using the HI8564 or HI93640 thermo-hy-
grometer is simple. However, the recommen-
dations below should always be followed.
RELATIVE HUMIDITY MEASUREMENTS
•The end of the humidity detector should be
exposed to a current of air moving at 0.5 m
(20") per second or more.
•In the absence of air movement, the re-
sponse can be accelerated by moving the
probe.
•The probe sensor must never come into
contact with water or other liquids. If this
should happen, or if condensation causes
dropsto formonthesurfaceofthe humidity
sensor,turnofftheinstrumentand waituntil
the liquid has evaporated completely. In
order to accelerate the evaporation pro-
cess,thehumiditysensorcouldbeexposed
to a current of air.
For HI93640 only: in order to obtain a
faster response, the sintered filter should

•Whenthesalthasdissolved
completely, add all the con-
tent of the second bottle of
HI 7111.
•Allow the solution obtained
to cool, and then pour it into
the chamber marked
"RH 11.1%", making sure
that no residue remains on
the walls of the glass con-
tainer.
•Seal the chamber well when not in use, as
the LiCl solution is extremely hygroscopic
andtendstocapturethe humidity present in
the air causing the solution to expand in
volume and to overflow from the container.
•Pourapproximately 12ccof
distilled water into the other
chamber marked "RH
75.4%".
•Add all the content of the
HI 7121 bottle containing
NaCl while continuously
shaking the container to
avoidtheformationoflumps.
Sealthiscontainerwellwhen
not in use.
The calibration kit needs
4 hours for stabilization.

CALIBRATION
All Hanna hygrometers have been
precalibrated at the factory.
Hanna Instruments uses state-of-the-art ther-
mal humidity chambers for this purpose.
It is generally recommended to have all
hygrometers recalibrated at least once a
year.
For an accurate annual recalibration, con-
tact your nearest Hanna Service Center.
You can also check the status of your
HI8564 and perform a quick recalibration
(with an accuracy of ±5%) by using the
Hanna mini-calibration cham-
bers HI 7101.
The kits are composed of two
thermally isolated chambers,
each one equipped with a
threadedcapandthreebottles
containingtheappropriate precalibrated satu-
rated salts to produce a known RH value.
Preparing the Calibration Solutions
(HI8564 only):
•Pour approximately 26 cc of
distilled water into a glass
container.
•Immerse this container into
a bath of ice and water and
shake briefly.
•Slowly add the contents of
a HI 7111 bottle containing
LiCl into the glass container
while continuing to shake.

•Remove the cap from the

insert the probe.
•Waitforthemeasurementto
stabilize (approximately
4 hours)
•Turn the high humidity trimmer until the
readout on the display is 64.3%.
•Wait for 1 hour and readjust if necessary.
•Leaving the probe in the "RH 75.4%" cham-
ber,adjustthelowhumiditytrimmer untilthe
value of 75.4% is read.
•Now, the humidity calibration is complete.
Spare saturation salts are also available:
HI 7111/P (LiCl) for low range humidity, and
HI 7121/P (NaCl) for high range humidity.

RH Calibration Procedure (HI 8564 only):
•Bring the calibration kit to a temperature of
approximately 20°C.
•Remove the cap from the
"RH 11.1%" chamber con-
taining the LiCl solution and
insert the probe paying at-
tention not to tip it into the
liquid.
•Remove the adhesive sticker which covers
the calibration trimmer access holes.
•Press the ON/OFF key to
switch the instrument on.
•Waitforthemeasurementto
stabilize (this takes about
4 hours).
•Turn the low humidity trimmer (see Func-
tional Description) until a value of 0.0% is
seenon thereadout(reading between0.0%
and 1.0% RH is also acceptable).
•Removetheprobeandtightlysealthecham-

non hazardous area using the battery types
specified in this instruction manual (see
page 14).
FOR HI8564 ONLY:
Whenthebatteryisrundown
"V"isdisplayedontheLCDto
warn the user.
In order to replace the bat-
tery, simply slide the cover
off and replace it with a new
9V battery.

FOR HI93640 ONLY:
When the battery is rundown
"V" is displayed on the LCD to
warn the user.
HI93640 employs the ad-
vanced "BEPS" technology.
BEPS will detect a low power
condition and will shut the dis-
play off. If the ON/OFF but-
ton is pressed again, the
meter will shut off after a few seconds.
When this occurs, replace the 9V battery
with a new one.
When the battery is exhausted or the instru-
ment cannot be switched on, simply slide
the battery cover off from the rear of the
instrument and replace with the 9V battery
with a new one.
