Hanna Instruments WATER TEST User manual

The "four-in-one" portable meter
WATER TEST
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HANNA Water Test is a "four-in-one" portable meter designed for
fast and accurate analysis and monitoring of water in biological
applications, industrial wastewater, rivers, lakes, etc. It measures the
main parameters in water analysis, namely, pH, oxidation-reduction
potential (REDOX), conductivity and temperature. All is needed for
the analysis is a small sample of the water which is poured into the
compartment and the 4 measurements are immediately available.
The instrument has a complete pH range from 0 to 14, an ORP range
from -1000 to +1000 mV, a conductivity range from 0 to 2000 µS/cm
and a temperature range from 0 to 60°C. The instrument can be
calibrated for pH and conductivity and comes with replaceable batteries.

Water Test
MAINTENANCE
•Separate the compartment from the tester.
•Remove deposits formed on the liquid junction
and the pH glass bulb by soaking in HI 7061
solution for 1½hour.
•Soak the platinum wire in acetone for half hour.
•Rinse the bulb, platinum wire and liquid junction
thoroughly with distilled water
•Reassemble the compartment and the tester.
•Fill the compartment with tap water.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When the Water Test cannot be switched on or the
display fades, pull out the battery cover and replace
all three 1.4V batteries, paying attention to their po-
larity. Battery replacement must only take place in a
non hazardous area using the battery types speci-
fied in this instruction manual.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USERS
Before using this product, make sure that it is entirely suitable for
the environment in which it is used.
Operation of this instrument in residential area could cause
unacceptable interferences to radio and TV equipments,
requiring the operator to take all necessary steps to correct
interferences.
The glass bulb at the end of the pH electrode is sensitive to
electrostatic discharge.
Avoid touching this glass bulb at all times.
For calibration it is recommended to use an antistatic
screwdriver.
Any variation introduced by the user to the supplied equipment
may degrade the instrument's EMC performance.
To avoid electrical shock, do not use this instrument when voltages
at the measurement surface exceed 24 VAC or 60 VDC.
To avoid damages or burns, do not perform any measurement in
microwave ovens.

•If the display does not show "7.0 pH",
adjust the right trimmer located behind
the cover until the display shows "7.0 pH".
•Discard the pH 7 solution, pour a small
quantity of distilled water into the black
compartment, rinse by shaking the com-
partment and then discard the content.
•Pour a small quantity of pH 4 (HI7004) or
pH 10 (HI7010) buffer solution into the
compartment.
•If the display does not show "4.0 pH" (or
"10.0 pH"), adjust the left trimmer lo-
cated behind the cover until the display
shows "4.0 pH" (or "10.0 pH").
•Discard the pH 4 (or pH 10) solution, pour a small quantity of
distilled water into the black compartment, rinse by shaking the
compartment and then discard the content.
•The unit is now calibrated for pH and ready for use.
CONDUCTIVITY CALIBRATION
•Pour a small quantity of distilled water into the black
compartment, rinse by shaking the compartment and
then discard the content.
•Fill the compartment with HI7031 conductivity solu-
tion to overflow and switch the tester on by
pressing the ON/OFF switch. The tempera-
ture of the solution will be displayed.
•Note the temperature of the solution and
read the corresponding conductiv-
ity from the table printed on the
solution label (e.g. 1413 µS/cm
@ 25°C).
•Remove the screw on the right of
the casing. Press the RANGE
switch to display conductivity
measurements and adjust the
trimmer on the right of the cas-
ing until the display
shows the corresponding
conductivity reading at the
noted temperature (e.g.
1278 µS/cm @20°C). Re-
place the screw after cali-
bration.
ALWAYS USE FRESH BUFFERS
FOR CALIBRATION & NEVER REUSE THEM.
OPERATING INFORMATION
•Do not be alarmed if white crystals appear around the
cap. This is normal with electrodes and they dissolve
when rinsed with water.
•Take a sample of the water to be tested and pour into
the black compartment of the Water Test.
If you are scooping up the water with the black com-
partment, do not immerse above the maximum im-
mersion level indicated.
•Turn the tester on by pressing the ON/OFF
switch on the front panel.
•The tester will automatically default the tem-
perature measurement indicated by the "°C"
symbol on the display.
•Press the RANGE switch once to display
the conductivity expressed in µS.
•Press the RANGE switch once more to dis-
play pH.
•Press the RANGE switch once again to display ORP
expressed in mV.
•If the tester compartment is dry for more than 2
days, you will have to wait for about 5 minutes be-
fore taking pH measurements.
•In order to take more accurate pH and conductivity measurements,
make sure that Water Test is calibrated for pH and conductivity
before use.
•When the measurements are completed, empty the com-
partment, rinse with tap water to minimize contamination
and switch the tester off by pressing the ON/OFF switch
again.
•In order to have a fast response time during mea-
surement, the compartment of the tester should be
filled with tap water when the tester is not in use.
For long term storage, the tester should be kept in the
original box.DO NOT USE DISTILLED OR DEIONIZED
WATER FOR STORAGE PURPOSES.
pH CALIBRATION
•Pour a small quantity of distilled water into the
black compartment, rinse by shaking the com-
partment and then discard the content.
•Pour a small quantity of pH 7 (HI7007) buffer
solution into the compartment and switch the
tester on by pressing the ON/OFF switch.
•Press the RANGE switch twice to display pH measure-
ments.
