GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
The HI99111 portable pH meter together with a FC10483
combination pH electrode, is designed to measure pH
during wine production.
The HI99111 is a lightweight, portable, pH and temperature
meter designed for the winemaker. It features a two button
operation system and is simple to use. The HI99111 has
a waterproof and compact casing, large dual‑line display,
and automatic pH calibration at one or two points.
The FC10483 is a specially designed pH electrode intended
for the direct determination of pH in wine production; from
freshly pressed fruit juice all the way to the final fermented
product. The FC10483 pH probe features a refillable double
junction reference electrode that uses a KCl electrolyte, an
open junction with Clogging Prevention System (CPSTM)
technology, a built‑in temperature sensor for temperature
compensated pH readings and an integrated preamplifier
to provide measurements impervious to noise and electrical
interferences.

OPERATIONAL GUIDE
Each meter is supplied with batteries. Before using the
meter for the first time, open the battery compartment
and insert batteries, observing the polarity (see “Battery
Replacement“).
CONNECTING THE ELECTRODE
With the meter turned off, connect the FC10483 probe to the
DIN socket on the bottom of the meter by aligning the pins
and pushing in the plug firmly. Remove the protective cap
from the probe before taking any measurements.

OPERATIONAL GUIDE
TURNING THE METER ON
To turn the meter ON, press the button on
the front of the meter. If it does not turn on, make
sure that the batteries are properly installed in their place.
The meter is provided with an active acoustic signal when
a key is pressed. At start‑up the meter displays all LCD
segments for a few seconds, followed by the percentage
indication of the remaining battery life, displaying “WAIT“
until electrode check is in process then the meter enters the
normal measurement mode.
Note: The meter detects the presence and the type of
the probe at its input.
- If the probe is not connected the message “NO”
”PROBE“ appears alternatively on the secondary LCD
with “---“ blinking on the first LCD line.
- If the probe is not compatible “WRONG” ”PROBE“
message appears alternatively on the secondary LCD
with “---“ blinking on the first LCD line.
- If the readings are out of range, the nearest range limits
are displayed blinking (e.g. -2.00 pH -5.0 °C).
SELECTING MEASUREMENT RANGE
While in measurement mode, press the SET button to select
pH or pH‑mV measurement on the first LCD line.
FREEZING MEASUREMENT VALUES
While in measurement mode, press and hold the SET
button until “HOLD“ appears on the secondary LCD. The
“HOLD“ remains for 1 second and reading of pH, mV and
temperature will be frozen on the LCD with “H” blinking.

OPERATIONAL GUIDE
pH MEASUREMENT & CALIBRATION
Make sure the meter has been
calibrated before use.
If the probe is dry, soak it in
HI70300 storage solution for
30 minutes to reactivate it. If
soiled, clean the electrode by soaking in cleaning solution
for 20 minutes, then rinse the tip and soak in storage
solution at least 30 minutes before use.
Rinse the electrode off well and shake off excess droplets.
Recalibrate before using. Submerge the probe in the sample
to be tested while stirring it gently. Wait until the tag
on the LCD disappears.
The LCD displays the pH value (automatically compensated
for temperature) on the primary LCD, while the secondary
LCD displays the sample temperature. If measurements are
taken in different samples successively, rinse the probe tip
thoroughly in distilled or deionized water to eliminate cross‑
contamination.
Press any button to resume active measurements.
ENTERING CALIBRATION MODE
Press and hold the button until ”POWER” and tag
is replaced by “STD“ and tag. Release the button.
ENTERING SETUP MODE
Press and hold button until “STD“ and tag
is replaced by “SETUP“ and tag.
Release the button.
TURNING THE METER OFF
While in measurement mode, press the button.
”POWER” and tag will appear.
Release the button.
