Chapter 1 - INTRODUCTION
Remove the instrument from the packing material and examine it carefully to make sure that no
damage has occurred during shipping. If there is any damage, contact your local Hanna Instruments
Office.
Note: Save all packing materials until you are sure that the instrument functions correctly.
Any damaged or defective items must be returned in their original packing material with the
supplied accessories.
MODEL IDENTIFICATION
Meter: There are two models for the meter:
HI9829: Portable multiparameter meter
HI98290: Portable multiparameter meter with GPS
Probe: There are two base models of multiparameter probes:
HI7609829: Standard multiparameter probe
HI7629829: Multiparameter probe with autonomous logging capability
All meters and probes are fully compatible with each other, and all available measurement sensors
can be used on both probe models.
Different combinations of meters, probes, sensors and accessories can be ordered either in
predefined configurations or individually. See Accessories for ordering configurations.
For example, ordering codes of probes follow:
HI7609829/10 is a HI7609829 probe with a 10 meter cable, it comes without sensors or a shield.
HI7629829/10 is a HI7629829 logging probe with a 10 meter cable, it comes without sensors or
a shield.

HI9829 is a portable logging multiparameter system that monitors up to 14 different water quality
parameters (7 measured, 7 calculated).
The microprocessor‑based intelligent multisensor probe allows measurement of many water quality
parameters such as pH, ORP, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, chloride, nitrate, ammonium
and temperature with data logging. The system is easy to setup and easy to use.
The HI98290 with GPS option has a built‑in 12 channel GPS receiver and antenna that guarantees a
position accuracy of 10 m (30 ft). Measurements from specific locations are tracked with detailed
coordinate information that can be viewed immediately on the display.
GPS information can be transferred to a PC using Hanna Instruments’ HI929829 software. GPS
information can also be viewed using a GPS mapping software such as Google™ Maps. Clicking on
visited locations using a mapping software displays the measurement information.
All HI9829 are equipped with Fast Tracker™ an invaluable tool for associating measurements with
their locations. Hanna Instruments’ exclusive Fast Tracker™—T.I.S. (Tag ID System) uses iButton®s
that can be installed at any number of sampling sites.
The HI9829 features a graphic, backlit display that automatically sizes the digits to fit the screen
with on‑screen graphing capability. Each parameter is fully configurable. HI9829 was designed to
withstand harsh environments and is the ideal solution for field measurements of lakes, rivers and sea.
The meter meets IP67 standards (30 minute immersion at a depth of 1 m) and the multisensor probe
meets IP68 standards (continuous immersion in water).
Settings and logged data can be protected with a passcode to avoid unauthorized modifications and
context‑sensitive help is always available.
Main features of the HI9829 system:
• Rugged meter and probe
• Easy to use
• Measure up to 16 parameters and display of up to 12 parameters
• Tracking of measurement locations with GPS (optional)
• Waterproof protection (IP67 for the meter and IP68 for the probe)
• Exclusive Fast Tracker™—T.I.S. (Tag ID System, up to a total of 100 tags stored on meter)
• Graphic LCD with backlight
• Built‑in barometer for D.O. concentration compensation
• Quick calibration feature
• Measurement check to eliminate any erroneous readings

Chapter 2 - QUICK START
Before you begin using the HI9829 multiparameter system, either charge the included rechargeable
C batteries for at least 6 hours or replace the rechargeable batteries with non‑rechargeable alkaline
batteries.
• Sensor O‑Rings must be lubricated with the supplied grease prior to installation.
• HI76x9829 probes have 3 sensor connectors identified with color‑coded triangles:
• Connector 1 (red): For either pH/ORP, pH, ammonium, chloride or nitrate sensor.
• Connector 2 (white): For dissolved oxygen sensor.
• Connector 3 (blue): For either EC or EC/turbidity sensor.
• Position the connector key towards the center of the probe, make sure the connector is seated
correctly (the sensor will no longer move freely) before tightening the locking threads.
• To protect the sensors, screw the protective shield onto the probe body.
• Unscrew the battery cover of the HI7629829 logging probe and install 4 AA batteries for autonomous
logging before connecting to the meter.
• With the meter off, connect the probe to the DIN socket on the bottom of the meter. Align the pins
and key then push the plug into the socket and tighten the thread.
• Turn the meter on by pressing the ON/OFF key. The meter will automatically recognize the probe
and the installed sensors and identify them on the probe status screen.
• Press <Measure> to view the measurement screen.

Press <Log> to display the logging menu. You can either log a single sample on the meter,
start an interval log on the meter, or start an interval log on a logging probe (HI7629829).
See Chapter 11 for more details.
Press <Menu> to enter setup mode. You can configure which parameters you want to measure,
calibrate the sensors, change system settings, access the GPS menu and view the meter and probe status.
HI9829 features context sensitive HELP, which provides useful information regarding the displayed
screen.
Simply press the HELP key to access this function, then use the / keys to scroll through the
message.
To escape from the HELP window, press the HELP key again or ESC.
The main operating modes for HI9829 are measurement, logging and setup.
The measurement screen can be configured to display a single measurement or up to 12 simultaneous
measurements by using the numbers 1‑7 on the keypad.
Use the / keys to scroll through the measurements not being displayed.
See Measurement Mode for more details.
The measurement units will blink if the system has not been calibrated and the measurement number
will blink when the reading is out of range.
