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: Saveallpackingmaterialuntilyouaresurethattheinstrument

the original packing with the supplied accessories.
The HI9064 portable hygrometer measures Relative Humidity. The
HI9065 portablethermo-hygrometermeasuresTemperature andRela-
tive Humidity. The HI9160 is a portable relative humidity meter
designed for the food industry, enclosed in an easy to clean casing.
The instruments are housed in a rugged, water-resistant casing for
maximum protection against effect of humidity and condensation.
The RH probe contains both the sensor and the electronic circuitry
necessary to amplify the RH readings. Another electronic circuit con-
vertsthe signals sent bythe probeinto adigital readout in %Relative
Humidity.
Note: The RH probe sensor must never come into contact with water
or other liquids.
HI9064 comes supplied with: HI70608/2 RH probe, 4 ea. 1.5V AA
batteries and a rugged carrying case.
HI9065 comes supplied with: HI70605/2 RH probe, 4 ea. 1.5V AA
batteries and a rugged carrying case.
HI9160 comes supplied with: HI70608/2 RH probe, 4 ea. 1.5V AA
batteries and a soft carrying case.

INSTRUMENT PREPARATION
Each meter is supplied complete with 4 each
1.5V AA batteries. Remove the back cover, un-
wrapthebatteries andinstallthemwhilepaying
attention to their polarity.
Connect the RH probe to the 7-pin DIN socket
on the top of the meter and fasten the screw
tightly.
Note: HI 9065 has to be used with just one
probe (RH or temperature) at a time.
HUMIDITY MEASUREMENTS
Turn the meter on by pressing the ON/OFF key.
Press the RH key to display the RH % measurement. The symbol "H"
is displayed when measuring Relative Humidity (not for HI9160).
Using these hygrometers is simple. However, the recommendations
below should always be followed.
• Theendofthe humidity detector shouldbeexposedto a current of
air moving at 0.5 m (20") per second or more.
• In the absence of air movement, the response can be accelerated
by moving the probe.
••
••
• Theprobesensormustnevercomeintocontactwithwaterorother
liquids.
If this should happen, or if condensation causes drops to form on
the surface of the humidity sensor, turn off the instrument and
wait until they have evaporated completely.
Inordertoacceleratetheevaporationprocess,thehumiditysensor
could be exposed to a current of air.

CALIBRATION KIT
All Hanna hygrometers have been precalibrated at the factory.
Hanna Instruments uses state-of-the-art thermal humidity chambers
for this purpose.
It is generally recommended to have all hygrometers recalibrated at
least once a year.
For an accurate annual recalibration, contact your nearest Hanna
Service Center.
You can also check the status of your hygrometer and perform a quick
RH recalibration (with an accuracy of ±5%) by using the Hanna
mini-calibration chamber HI7101.
The kit is composed of two thermally isolated
chambers, each one equipped with a threaded
cap and three bottles containing the appropri-
ate precalibrated saturated salts to produce a
known RH value.
PREPARING THE CALIBRATION SOLUTIONS:
• Pourapproximately26ccofdistilledwaterinto
a glass container.
• Immerse this container into a bath of ice and water and shake
briefly.
• Slowly add the contents of a HI7111 bottle
containing LiCl into the glass container while
continuing to shake.
• When the salts have dissolved completely, add
all thecontent ofthe second bottleof HI7111.
• Allow the solution to cool, and pour it into
the chamber marked "RH11.1%", making
sure that no residue remains on the walls
of the glass container.

TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS (FOR HI9065 ONLY)
Connect the HI 765N temperature probe into the socket placed on the
top of the meter (refer to #9 in the Functional Description, page 4)
andtheunitwillautomaticallydisplaythe readings from the tempera-
ture probe.
For special applications, you can choose in a wide range of separate
temperature probes (see Accessories at page 13).
Note: HI 9065 has to be used with just one probe (RH or tempera-
ture) at a time.
By pressing the °C key "°C" is displayed with temperature value in
degrees Centigrade.
The same reading in degrees Fahrenheit it would read if you press the
°F key.
If you experience any problems in taking measurements, please con-
tact your dealer or the nearest Hanna Instruments Customer Service
Department.
HOLD FUNCTION (HI 9064 AND HI 9065 ONLY):
ThereadingHOLDfunction is activatedbytheHOLD
key. The measured value is frozen on the display
when this function key is pressed. "S" is displayed
indicating that the reading is stored.
By pressing the same key again, the meter re-
sumes its operational mode.

containing the NaCl solution and insert the
probe.
• Waitforthemeasurementtostabilize(approxi-
mately 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%" chamber, adjust the low
humidity trimmer until the display shows 75.4%.
• Now, the humidity calibration is complete.
Spare saturation salts are also available:
HI7111/P (LiCl) for low range humidity, and HI7121/P (NaCl) for
high range humidity.

• Seal the chamber well when not in use, as the LiCl solution is
extremely hygroscopic and tends to capture the humidity present
in the air causing the solution to expand in volume and overflow
from the container.
• Pourapproximately12ccofdistilledwaterinto
the other chamber marked "RH 75.4%".
• Add all the content of the HI7121 bottle con-
taining NaCl while continuously shaking the
containertoavoid the formationof lumps. Seal
this container well when not in use.
The calibration kit needs 4 hours for stabilization.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE:
• Bring the calibration kit to a temperature of approximately 20°C.
• Removethecapfromthe"RH11.1%"chamber
containingtheLiClsolutionandinserttheprobe
paying attention 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.
• Waitforthe measurementtostabilize(thistakes
about 4 hours).
• Turnthe low humidity trimmer (see Functional Description) until a
valueof0.0%isseen on the readout(readingbetween0.0%and

HI9064, HI9065 and HI9160 are supplied with the advanced
"BEPS" Battery Error Preventive System technology that detects a low
power condition in the battery and prevents erroneous measurements
being taken due to low voltage.
For HI 9064 and HI 9065, upon depletion of the power in the
batteries up to a prefixed threshold, the LCD automatically switches
off.
For HI9160, when the batteries are low "V"
is displayedon the LCDtowarn theuser. This
is to inform the user that the display will be
shut-off after about 5 hours of use.
Battery replacement must only take place in a non hazardous area
using the battery types specified in this instruction manual (see page
13).
In order to replace rundown batteries, simply
remove the two screws on the rear cover of
the instrument and replace the four 1.5V AA
batteries with new ones, paying attention to
the correct polarity.

Recommendations for Users
Before using these products, make sure that they are entirely suitable for the environ-
ment in which they are used.
Operation of these instruments in residential area could cause unacceptable interfer-
ences to radio and TV equipments, requiring the operator to take all necessary steps to
correct interferences.
Any variation introduced by the user to the supplied equipment may degrade the
instruments' EMC performance.
To avoid electrical shock, do not use these instruments when voltages at the measure-
ment surface exceed 24VAC or 60 VDC.
To avoid damages or burns, do not perform any measurement in microwave ovens.
In particular cases HI 9064, HI 9065 and HI 9160 could turn off. In these cases they
can be turned on by pressing the ON/OFF key.
