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.
Each meter comes supplied with a conductivity probe (HI7685 for
HI8819 or HI7687 for HI8820), a voltage adapter, a dust cover and
an instruction manual.
Note::::: Save all packing material until you are sure that the instrument
functions correctly. All defective items must be returned in the
original packing with the supplied accessories.
HI8819 and HI8820 are digital bench-top multirange conductivity
meters designed for simplicity of use in measuring electrical conduc-
tivity in liquids. Four ranges of conductivity measurements are provided
to cover every application from deionized water to brine. The conduc-
tivity probe does not require changing or re-calibration when switching
from one range to another.
The probe is made of glass with 4 platinum rings that are corrosion
resistant. It is also suitable for measuring conductivity of liquids in
small sample sizes, and comes with a 1 m (3.3') cable.
The temperature effect can be compensated through a knob on the
front panel of HI8819.
With HI8820, the 4-ring probe has a built-in temperature sensor that
automatically compensates for temperature changes in the liquid
tested. The temperature coefficient can be adjusted from 0 to 2.5%.

CALIBRATIONCALIBRATION
CALIBRATIONCALIBRATION
CALIBRATION
INITIAL PREPARATION
If you are measuring in the mS ranges, calibrate the meter using
HI7030 (or HI8030) conductivity solution (12.88 mS @ 25°C) or
HI7034 (or HI8034) conductivity solution (80 mS @ 25°C). Choose
a solution with a conductivity value close to the solution to be
measured. For the µS ranges, use HI7031 (or HI8031) conductivity
solution (1413 µS @25°C) when calibrating in the range from 0 to
1999 µS or HI7033 (or HI8033) conductivity solution (84 µS @
25°C) when calibrating in the range from 0 to 199.9 µS.
Rinse the probe thoroughly in distilled water. This is to minimize
contamination of the calibration solution and secure higher accuracy.
When possible, use plastic beakers to minimize any EMC interfer-
ences.
PROCEDURE FOR HI8819:
• Pour a small quantity of the conductivity so-
lution into a plastic beaker e.g. HI7030 or
HI8030 (12.88 mS/cm @ 25°C).
• Immerse the conductivity probe in the solu-
tion submerging the holes of the sleeve (0.5cm
below). Make sure that no air bubbles are
trapped inside the glass sleeve. Wait for 2 or
3 minutes for the thermal equilibrium.
• Use a CHECKTEMP or a glass thermometer
with resolution of 1° for measuring the
temperature of the solution (e.g. 18°C).
• Switch the instrument on by pressing the ON/
OFF key.
• Press COND/TEMP key to display temperature
settings.
• Adjust the TEMPERATURE knob to display
"25°C" if you are using 25°C (77°F) as refer-
ence temperature.

• Press the COND/TEMP key to display conduc-
tivity readings and select the appropriate
conductivity range
e.g. "19.99 mS" for HI7030/HI8030,
"99.9 mS" for HI7034/HI8034,
"1999µS" for HI7031/HI8031,
"199.9 µS" for HI7033/HI8033.
• Using a small screwdriver adjust the trimmer on the rear panel
until the display shows the conductivity reading at the tempera-
ture of the solution noted earlier (see the
conductivity vs. temperature chart on page
13) e.g. "11.19 mS".
Calibration is now completed and the instrument is ready for use.
TO CHECK THE CALIBRATION
• Press the COND/TEMP key to display the tem-
perature.
• Adjust the TEMPERATURE knob to display the
temperature of the calibration solution, i.e.
the temperature noted with the CHECKTEMP
or glass thermometer.

• Press the COND/TEMP key to display conduc-
tivity.
• The display should read the conductivity of the
calibrating solution at the reference tempera-
ture.
E.g. using HI7030/HI8030 with a so-
lution at 18°C, the reading will be
"12.88 mS".
PROCEDURE FOR HI8820:
• Pour a small quantity of the conductivity solu-
tion into a plastic beaker.
• Immerse the conductivity probe in the solution sub-
merging the holes of the sleeve (0.5 cm below).
Make sure that no air bubbles are trapped inside
the glass sleeve. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes for thermal
equilibrium.
• Switch the instrument on by pressing the ON/OFF
key.
• Select the appropriate conductivity range
e.g. "19.99 mS" for HI7030/HI8030,
"99.9 mS" for HI7034/HI8034,
"1999µS" for HI7031/HI8031,
"199.9 µS" for HI7033/HI8033.
• Set the temperature coefficient knob to

• Using a small screwdriver adjust the trimmer on the rear panel
until the display shows the conductivity reading at 25°C (77°F),
e.g.: "12.88 mS" for HI7030/HI8030,
"80.00 mS" for HI7034/HI8034,
"1413 µS" for HI7031/HI8031,
"84 µS" for HI7033/HI8033.
If you are using a different reference temperature, refer to the
conductivity vs temperature charts on page 12 for the appropriate
conductivity reading at the reference temperature.
E.g. If you prefer to standardize the temperature to 20°C (68°F)
rather than 25°C (77°F), using HI7030/HI8030, adjust the trim-
mer to read "11.67 mS" i.e.11670 µS (as indicated on the chart
on page 12). All subsequent measurements will be compensated
to 20° (68°F).
The calibration is now complete.
Note: The instrument should be calibrated weekly or every time the
probe has been changed.

The conductivity of an aqueous solution is the measure of its ability to
carry an electrical current by means of ionic motion.
The conductivity invariably increases with increasing temperature.
It is affected by the type and number of ions in the solution and by
the viscosity of the solution itself. Both parameters are temperature
dependent. The dependency of conductivity on temperature is ex-
pressed as a relative change per degree Celsius at a particular
temperature, commonly as percent per °C.

TEMPERATURE COMPENSATIONTEMPERATURE COMPENSATION

TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
The conductivity of an aqueous solution is the measure of its ability to
carry an electrical current by means of ionic motion. The conductivity
invariably increases with increasing temperature. It is affected by the
type and number of ions in the solution and by the viscosity of the
solution itself. Both parameters are temperature dependent. The de-
pendency of conductivity on temperature is expressed as a relative
change per degree Celsius at a particular temperature, commonly as
percent/°C. Acids, alkalis and concentrated salt solutions have lower
values, typically 1.5%/°C. Since a small difference in temperature
causes a large change in conductivity readings particularly at high
and low temperatures, the readings are usually normalized at 25°C.
The HI8819 manually compensates for temperature differences with a
fixed ß at 2%.
The HI8820 automatically compensates for temperature differences
with a built-in NTC sensor circuitry. A knob is also provided to adjust
the temperature coefficient manually from 0% (without compensa-
tion) to 2.5% per degree Celsius.

Follow the procedure described below:
1) Immerse the probe into a sample of the solu-
tion and adjust the knob to 0% (i.e. no
compensation).
2) Condition the sample and probe at 25°C
and note the conductivity reading C25.
3) Condition the sample and probe to a tem-
perature t°C which is approximately 5°C to
10°C different from 25°C and note the conductivity reading Ct.
4) The temperature coefficient ß of the solution is calculated with
the formula:
(Ct - C25)
ß = 100 x ---------------------------
(t - 25) x C25
The above procedure is suitable for determining the temperature
coefficient in the laboratory where the temperature of the solution
can be determined and controlled. If this is not possible e.g.
during on-site measurements, the following procedure should be
used:
a) Immerse the probe into the test solution and turn the temperature
coefficient knob to 0% (no compensation).
b) Allow the conductivity reading to stabilize (the reading should not
change by more than ±0.2 mS within 1 minute) and record the
value, C.
c) Repeat the procedure with the temperature of the solution changed
by more than 10°C. Wait for the conductivity reading to stabilize.
d) Adjust the temperature coefficient knob until the display reads the
value C as recorded earlier (point b).
e) The value indicated by the knob is the temperature coefficient of
the solution.

Rinse the probe with tap water after
every series of measurements. If a
more thorough cleaning is required,
remove the glass sleeve and clean
the probe with a cloth or a nonabra-
sive detergent.
After cleaning the probe, re-calibrate
the instrument.
The four ring platinum probe body
and sleeve are in glass. For this
reason great care while handling the
