OPERATIONAL GUIDE
POWER CONNECTION
Plug the 12 Vdc adapter into the power supply socket.
Note: These instruments use non volatile memory to retain the meter settings, even when unplugged.
PROBE CONNECTION
For conductivity, resistivity, TDS or salinity measurements connect a conductivity probe to the DIN connector
located on the rear panel of the instrument.
INSTRUMENT START UP
• Turn the instrument on from the power switch located on the rear panel of the instrument.
• Please wait until the instrument finishes the initialization process.
Note: It is normal for the loading process to take a few seconds. If the instrument doesn’t display the next
screen, restart the meter using the power switch. If the problem persists, contact your dealer.

CONDUCTIVITY CALIBRATION
It is recommended to calibrate the instrument frequently, especially if high accuracy is required.

The conductivity range should be recalibrated:
• Whenever the conductivity probe is replaced.
• At least once a week.
• Before USP measurements.
• After testing aggressive chemicals.
• When calibration reminder is activated (“Conductivity Cal Expired”).
• If the readings are far from the calibration point.
Note:TDS and Resistivity readings are automatically derived from the conductivity readings and no specific
calibration is needed.

CELL CONSTANT CALIBRATION (in solution)
Single Point Calibration

• Select the single point calibration (see Conductivity Setup -> Calibration);
• Pour a small quantity of the standard solution into a clean beaker. If possible, use plastic beakers to
minimize any EMC interferences.

(one for rinsing the probe and another one for calibration).
40
• Insert and rinse the probe in the first beaker in order to decontaminate it;
• Insert the probe in the second beaker;
• Tap the probe repeatedly to remove any air bubbles that may be trapped inside the sleeve.
• Wait to stabilize;
• When the automatic standard recognition is selected, the calibration point will be automatically selected
from the Hanna standard list (84 µS, 1413 µS, 5.0 mS,12.88 mS, 80.0 mS, 111.8 mS). The user can
also select the desired standard value by using and ;

may be performed in a suitable container or as in-line measurement.
• The temperature will be round down to the nearest 5 °C and look up the corresponding conductivity value
in the below table.
• If the measured conductivity is lower than the conductivity in the table, then the water meets the USP
requirements.
• Otherwise, proceed to Stage 2 testing.
Temperature Conductivity Temperature Conductivity

same quality.
• Adjust the sample’s temperature to 25 °C and agitate the sample to ensure that it has equilibrated with
ambient CO2.
• If the measured conductivity is less than 2.1 µS/cm, then the sample has met the USP requirements.

43
Stage 3 - this is an off-line test.
Test steps:
• Take the water sample from the previous stage and increase its ionic strength for a pH measurement at
25 °C;
• Record the pH and round it to the nearest 0.1 pH;
• Look up the corresponding conductivity value measured in Stage 2 above;

• Press or to access delete or delete all
mode. Otherwise, press to return to Log Recall view
mode.
• After selecting one of the deleting modes, use or
to select one lot and then press or
to delete the selected lot or all lots. The
“Please wait...” message will be displayed on the LCD

• Press to exit Log Recall mode and return to
Measure mode.
Note: Logged lots should also be deleted whenever “Please

Delete Old Log Files” or “Low Data Logging Space”
message appears on the LCD, in the Reminder messages
area.

PC INTERFACE
Data transmission from the instrument to the PC can be done with the HI 92000 Windows® compatible
software (optional). HI 92000 also offers graphing and on-line help feature.
Data can be exported to the most popular spreadsheet programs for further analysis.
HI 4321 instrument has two available serial interfaces: RS232 and USB. The desired serial interface can be
selected from the settings window of the HI 92000 software.
If choosing the RS232 serial interface, use the optional Hanna HI 920010 cable connector to connect your
instrument to a PC. Make sure that your instrument is switched off and then plug one connector to the
instrument RS232 socket and the other one to the serial port of your PC.
Note: Other cables than HI 920010 may use a different configuration. In this case, communication between
instrument and PC may not be possible.
If choosing the USB serial interface, use a standard USB cable to connect your instrument to the PC.
For both serial interfaces, make sure that the instrument and the HI 92000 software have the same baud rate
and the appropriate communication port.
PROBE CONDITIONING & MAINTENANCE
MEASURE
Rinse the conductivity probe with distilled water. Immerse the tip (bottom 4 cm /1½”) in the sample and
stir gently for a few seconds.
For a faster response and to avoid cross-contamination of the samples, rinse the probe with a few drops of the
solution to be tested, before taking measurements.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Inspect the probe and the cable. The cable used for connection to the instrument must be intact and there must
be no points of broken insulation on the cable. Connectors must be perfectly clean and dry. Rinse off any salt
deposits with water.
If more cleaning is required, remove the probe sleeve and clean the probe with a cloth or a nonabrasive
detergent. Make sure to reinsert the sleeve onto the probe properly and in the right direction. After cleaning
the probe, recalibrate the instrument.
The platinum rings are sustained with glass. Take great care while handling the probe.
IMPORTANT: After performing any of the cleaning procedures, rinse the electrode thoroughly with distilled water.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USERS
Before using these products, make sure they are entirely suitable for the environment in which they are used.
Operation of these instruments in residential areas could cause unacceptable interferences to radio and TV equipment,
requiring the operator to follow all necessary steps to correct interferences.
The glass bulb at the end of the pH electrode is sensitive to electrostatic discharges. Avoid touching this glass bulb at all
times.
During operation, ESD wrist straps should be worn to avoid possible damage to the electrode by electrostatic discharges.
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 measurement surface exceed 24 VAC or 60
VDC.
To avoid damage or burns, do not perform any measurement in microwave ovens.
