[. . . ] · ChecktempC or another accurate thermometer with 0. 1°C resolution (not necessary for HI 8733). · a small screwdriver. TEMPERATURE · Press COND/TEMP (or TDS/TEMP) again to display conductivity measurement. · Select 19. 99 mS/cm (HI 8633) or 1999 mg/L (HI 8734) range by pressing the appropriate range key. COND. TEMP. TDS TEMP. 19. 99 mS 1999 mg/l PROCEDURE FOR HI 8633 AND HI 8734 · Pour sufficient quantity of a conductivity (HI 8633) or TDS (HI 8734) calibration solution (e. g. · Immerse the conductivity probe, making sure that holes are completely submerged, and the ChecktempC in the solution. · Wait for a couple of minutes for thermal equilibrium to be reached. · Tap the probe on the bottom, then shake it while rotating to make sure no 8 703 0 · Remove the battery compartment cover and adjust the calibration trimmer located inside with the calibration screwdriver until the display shows for HI 8633 the conductivity reading at 25°C (see the conductivity vs. @ 25°C, 12880 µS/ cm = 12. 88 mS/cm, or for HI 8734 the TDS reading at 25°C (see the TDS vs. @25°C, 1382 mg/L. °C HI 9 · All subsequent measurements will be compensated to 25°C (77°F). If you prefer to standardize the temperature compensation to 20°C (68°F) rather than 25°C (77°F), leave the TEMPERATURE knob at 18°C (if the temperature of the solution is 18°C), adjust the trimmer to read "11. 67 mS" (see the conductivity vs. · The calibration is now complete and the instrument is ready for use. The instrument should be recalibrated at least once a month, or when the probe is changed. Note: For more accurate results, it is advisable to use a calibration solution close to the measurement range. See the "Accessories" section for a wide selection of conductivity solutions. · Remove the battery compartment cover and adjust the calibration trimmer located inside with the calibration screwdriver until the display shows "12. 88 mS" i. e. the conductivity reading @ 25°C. PROCEDURE FOR HI 8733 · Pour sufficient quantity of a conductivity calibration solution (e. g. · Immerse the conductivity probe in the solution, making sure that holes are completely submerged. · Wait for a couple of minutes for thermal equilibrium to be reached. · Tap the probe on the bottom, then shake it while rotating to make sure no air bubbles remain trapped in the sleeve. · Set the temperature coefficient knob to 2% to compensate for the temperature effect of average solutions (to determine exact value for a particular solution, see page 14). · Select 19. 99 mS/cm range by pressing the appropriate range key. 10 ON OFF HI 703 0 · All subsequent measurements will be compensated to 25°C (77°F). If you prefer to standardize the temperature compensation to 20°C (68°F) rather than 25°C (77°F), adjust the trimmer to read "11. 67 mS" (see the conductivity vs. [. . . ] When shipping any instrument, make sure it is properly packaged for complete protection.
