MAINTENANCE
In case of erroneous reading even after an accu-
rate calibration, the reference junction can be
contaminated or clogged.
Pull out 2 mm (1/8'') of
the cloth junction to renew
the electrode reference (it
is recommended to cut the
cloth leaving always at
least 2 mm -1/8'' over the
reference compartment) and
re-calibrate the meter.
The cloth junction can be pulled out approxi-
mately 20 times. After that, the electrode should
be replaced.
ELECTRODE REPLACEMENT
For replacing the electrode, contact your Dealer or
the nearest Hanna Service Center.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If display fades or the SALINTEST switches off,
the batteries must be replaced.
Slide off the battery compartment cover and
replace all four 1.5V alkaline batteries while
paying attention to the correct polarity.
Batteries should only be replaced in a non-
hazardous area and using the battery type
specified in this instruction manual.
OPERATION
• Remove the protective cap and
turn SALINTEST on by sliding
the ON/OFF switch located on
the top of the meter.
• Immerse it into the solution to
be tested without exceeding the
maximum immersion level.
• Stir gently and wait for the reading to stabi-
lize.
• Read the value on display and use the chart
to convert the reading to g/L NaCl.
• After use, switch the meter off, rinse the
electrode with water and replace the protective
cap.
• Large differences in pNa readings (±0.1)
could be due to a dry electrode or lack in
calibration.
• To improve performance, immerse the meter in
HI 7081 solution for a few minutes, at least
once a week.
CALIBRATION
• Immerse the tester in the
HI 7081 (30 g/L NaCl)
calibration solution, with-
out exceeding the maxi-
mum immersion level.
• Allow the reading to sta-
bilize and with the sup-
plied screwdriver adjust
the calibration trimmer
on the meter side to read
"0.30".
Calibration is now complete.
