DearCustomer,
Thank you for choosing a Hanna product. This manual will
provide you with the necessary information for a correct
operation. Please read it carefully before using the meter. If
you need additional technical information, do not hesitate
to e-mail us at [email protected].
These instruments are in compliance with the directives
EN 50081-1 and EN 50082-1.
Remove the instrument from the packing material and
examine it carefully. If any damage has occurred during
shipment, immediately notify your Dealer or the nearest
Hanna Customer Service Center.
The meters are supplied with:
• HI 7632 EC probe (for HI 983302);
• HI 7634 TDS probe (for HI 983301);
• Calibration screwdriver;
• 12 VDC power adapter.
Note: Conserve all packing material until the instrument
has been observed to function correctly. Any defective
item must be returned in its original packing.

PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
EC and TDS are instruments specially de-
signed to meet the needs of growers in greenhouses and
hydroponic applications.
The housing has been completely sealed against vapors and
humidity with IP54 rating.
Youcan simply hang the meterright above the sample tobe
testedfor continuous measurement.
Both meters come with a probe that compensates for the
temperature variation automatically. The probe is easy to
clean and requires little maintenance.
You can even select your own setpoint and be alerted of an
abnormal situation with a flashing LED alarm.
Measurements are highly accurate and the meters can be
calibrated at one point. In addition, the TDS
uses a specially devised formula which perfectly reflects the
needs of growers. In fact, the common method of measuring
Total Dissolved Solids by multiplying the conductivity by 0.5
is far off the mark in horticulture with high concentrations of
phosphate, nitrogen,etc.
You no longer need to worry about battery changes either:
the unit runs without interruption on 12 VDC power supply.

TAKING MEASUREMENTS
• Turn the meter on by connecting the 12 VDC power
adapter to the meter and to the mains.
• Immerse the tip (4 cm/1½”)
of the EC or TDS probe in the
sample.
Note: In order not to affect the
accuracy of measurements,
it is important that the
probe body does not touch
nor stand close to the side
walls of the vessel. The tip
may lay on the bottom of
the beaker.
• The LCD will show the EC or
TDS value. Any initial varia-
tionmaybeduetotemperature
compensationand thefactthat
the probe is adjusting itself to
thenewsample.Allowtheread-
ing to stabilize and the meter
will start continuous monitor-
ing.
ADJUSTINGTHESETPOINT
Withthe ECandTDS , you can selectyourown
setpoint and be alerted with a visual LED alarm when an
abnormal situation arises.
• Unscrew and remove the rear panel and gasket seal to
access the MEASURE/SET switch.
• Move the switch to the left (SET Mode).
• With a small screwdriver adjust the setpoint trimmer to
display the desired value in the 0.70 to 3.50 mS/cm or
in the 500 to 1600 ppm range for the EC and TDS
,respectively.
• Make sure the switch is moved back to
the right (MEASURE Mode).
• Replace the rear panel and
the gasket, ensuring the unit
is properly closed.
• Whenever the EC or TDS read-
ing varies by more than
±0.20mS/cm or ±100 ppm
from the setpoint, respectively,
the red alarm LED will blink.
PROBE MAINTENANCE
To minimize clogging and provide longer life for the probe,
itis recommended to clean it often or atleast once a month.
• Immerse the tip of the electrode in HI 7061 Cleaning
Solution for one hour or clean it with detergents used to
wash irrigation pipelines and fertilizer vessels.
• If a more thorough cleaning is required, brush the
metal pins with very fine sandpaper.
• After cleaning or when not in use, rinse the probe with
tap water.
For the greatest accuracy, frequent calibration of the instru-
ment is recommended.
• Turn the meter on and make sure that
the MEASURE/SET switch is on the MEA-
SURE mode.
• Pour a small quantity of
1413µS/cm calibration so-
lution or 1500 ppm TDS
calibrationsolutionina bea-
ker. If possible, use plastic
beakers to minimize any
EMCinterference.

CALIBRATION
• Immerse the EC or TDS probe in the
solution, making sure that metal pins
are completely submerged.
Note: the probe should be submerged ap-
proximately 4 cm (1½”) in the
solution. Moreover, in order not to
affect the accuracy of measurements,
it is important that probe body does not touch nor
stand close to the side walls of the beaker. The tip
can lay on the bottom of the beaker.
• Wait for a couple of minutes for thermal equilibrium to
be reached.
• Tap the probe gently on the bottom, then shake it
while rotating to make sure no air bubbles have
remained trapped.
• Adjust the calibration trimmer
with the supplied screwdriver
until the display shows
"1.41 mS" (HI 983302) or
“1500ppm” (HI 983301).
• The calibration is now complete and the instrument is
ready for use.
The instrument should be recalibrated at least once a
month and after performing probe cleaning procedure.
