OPERATIONAL GUIDE
INITIAL PREPARATION
The meter is supplied with rechargeable batteries (located inside the
meter - see page 14 for details).
To prepare the instrument for use, connect the pH electrode and the
temperature probe to the BNC and temperature sockets on the top of
the instrument. The temperature probe can be used independently to
take temperature measurements, or it can be used in conjunction
with the pH electrode to utilize Automatic Temperature Compensation
(ATC) mode. If the probe is disconnected, temperature can also be set
manually with the UP and DOWN arrow keys.
Turn the instrument ON by pressing ON/OFF.
At start-up the display will show the battery percentage and then all
LCD segments while the instrument performs a self check (or as long as
the button is held).

The LCD will show the pH measurement and the temperature of the
sample.

In order to take more accurate pH measurements, make sure that the
instrument is calibrated (see page 9 for details).
The glass bulb and the junction on the pH electrode should always be
moist, never allow it to dry out.
If several measurements are taken successively in different samples,
rinse the electrode thoroughly with deionized or tap water and a
small amount of the sample to be measured.
The pH reading is directly affected by temperature. In order for the meter to
measure the pH accurately, temperature must be compensated for. If the
sample temperature is different from the temperature at which the pH
electrode was kept, allow a few minutes for thermal equilibrium.
To use the meter's Automatic Temperature Compensation feature,
submerge the temperature probe into the sample as close to the
electrode as possible and wait for a few minutes.
If manual temperature compensation is desired the temperature
probe must be disconnected from the instrument.
The display will show the default temperature of 25 °C, or the last
temperature set with the "°C" (or "°F") indicator blinking.
The temperature can now be adjusted with the UP and DOWN arrow keys.

ORP MEASUREMENTS (HI 9125 only)
To perform ORP measurements, connect an optional ORP electrode
(see "Accessories" section) to the meter and turn it ON.
If necessary, enter the "mV" mode by pressing RANGE until the
display changes to mV.
7

Submerge the ORP electrode 4cm (1½") into the sample to be tested
and wait a few minutes for the reading to stabilize.
Measurements within the ±699.9 mV range are displayed with 0.1
mV resolution, while outside this range the resolution automatically
switches to 1 mV.
For accurate ORP measurements, the surface of the electrode must be
clean and smooth. Pretreatment solutions are available to condition
the electrode and improve its response time (see "Accessories" section).
Notes:
• When the reading is out of range, the display will flash the closest
full-scale value.

• If using pH electrode while in mV mode, the meter will measure
the mV generated by the pH electrode.
MEM & MR FUNCTIONS
The instrument allows the user to store the current measurement (pH
and temperature, or mV and temperature) into internal memory by
pressing the MEM key. The MEMORIZE tag lights up on display.

Stored value can be recalled by pressing MR: the display will show
the value as long as the button is pressed, and the MEMORIZE
tag.

p H CALIBRATION

MEASUREMENT
Rinse the electrode tip with distilled water, immerse it 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 electrode tip with the solution to be tested, before taking
any measurements.

It is recommended to calibrate the instrument frequently, especially if
high accuracy is required.
The pH range should be recalibrated:
• Whenever the pH electrode or temperature probe is replaced.
• At least once a week.
• After testing aggressive chemicals.
• When extreme accuracy is required.

STORAGE PROCEDURE
To minimize clogging and ensure a quick response time, the glass
bulb and the junction should always be kept moist.
When not in use, store it with a few drops of HI 70300 storage
solution in the protective cap.
NEVER STORE THE ELECTRODE IN DISTILLED OR DEIONIZED
WATER.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Inspect electrode and cable. The cable must be intact. No cracks
should be seen on the electrode stem or bulb. If any scratches or cracks
are present, replace the electrode. Rinse off any salt deposits with water.
Connectors must be perfectly clean and dry.
For refillable electrodes:
Refill the electrode with fresh electrolyte (see the electrode’s specifications
to select the correct refilling solution). Allow the electrode to stand
upright for 1 hour. Follow the Storage Procedure above.

PREPARATION
Pour a small quantity of buffer solution into clean beakers. For
accurate calibration use two beakers for each buffer solution, the first
one for rinsing the electrode and the second one for calibration.
PROCEDURE
In order to perform pH calibration:
• Make sure that the meter is in the pH mode (HI 9125 only).
• Remove the protective cap and rinse the electrode with some of
the buffer solution to be used for the first calibration point.
There is a choice of 5 memorized buffers: 4.01, 6.86, 7.01, 9.18 and
10.01 pH.
TWO-POINT CALIBRATION
• Press the CAL key. The "CAL" and " " indicators will be
displayed. The secondary LCD will display buffer "7.01". If a
different calibration buffer is desired (e.g. “6.86”), use the UP
and DOWN arrow keys to change the displayed value.

or

• Submerge the electrode approx. 4 cm (1½") into the solution,
place the temperature probe as close as possible to the electrode
and stir gently.

• The LCD will flash the "WAIT NOT READY" message.

ELECTRODE CONDITIONING & MAINTENANCE

• Once the reading is stable, if it is not close to the selected buffer,
"WRONG " and "WRONG " will blink alternatively; if it is close
to the selected buffer the display will change to "READY" and
blinking "CFM".

• Press the CFM key to confirm the calibration: the meter stores the
offset calibration point. The calibrated reading is then displayed on the
primary LCD while the secondary LCD will show the second buffer to be
used for calibration (pH 4.01).

Not present in gel electrodes.

• After the first calibration point is confirmed, immerse the electrode
into the second buffer (pH 4.01, 10.01 or 9.18) and stir gently.
Choose pH 4.01 for acidic samples, and pH 10.01 or 9.18 for
alkaline solutions.
• Submerge the electrode approx. 4 cm (1½") into the solution,
place the temperature probe as close as possible to the electrode
and stir gently.
• Select the second buffer value on the secondary display by
pressing the UP and DOWN arrow keys.

PREPARATION PROCEDURE
Remove the electrode protective cap.
DO NOT BE ALARMED IF ANY SALT DEPOSITS ARE PRESENT. This is
normal with electrodes and they will disappear when rinsed with water.
During transport tiny bubbles of air may have formed inside the glass
bulb. The electrode cannot function properly under these conditions.
These bubbles can be removed by "shaking down" the electrode as you
would do with a glass thermometer.
If the bulb and/or junction are dry, soak the electrode in HI 70300
Storage Solution for at least one hour.

TEMPERATURE CORRELATION
FOR p H SENSITIVE GLASS
The resistance of glass electrodes partially depends on the temperature.
The lower the temperature, the higher the resistance. It takes more time
for the reading to stabilize if the resistance is higher. In addition, the
response time will suffer to a greater degree at temperatures below 25 °C.

Since the resistance of the pH electrode is in the range of 50 – 200
Mohms, the current across the membrane is in the pico Ampere range.
Large currents can disturb the calibration of the electrode for many
hours.
For these reasons high humidity environments, short circuits and static
discharges can be detrimental to a stable pH reading.
The pH electrode’s life also depends on the temperature. If constantly
used at high temperatures, the electrode life is drastically reduced.

Alkaline Error
High concentrations of sodium ions interfere with readings in alkaline
solutions. The pH at which the interference starts to be significant
depends upon the composition of the glass. This interference is called
alkaline error and causes the pH to be underestimated. Hanna’s glass
formulations have the indicated characteristics.

• If the reading is not close to the selected buffer, "WRONG "
and "WRONG " will blink alternatively;
• If the reading is close to the selected buffer and the reading is
stable, the “READY” symbol is displayed and the “CFM” symbol
starts blinking on the LCD, asking for confirmation.
• Press the CFM key: the value is stored in memory and the meter
returns to normal mode.
Note: The meter automatically skips the buffer used for the first
calibration point to avoid erroneous procedure. A difference of at
least 1.5 pH unit is required between the two buffers used for
the offset and slope calibration: once calibrated at either pH
7.01 or 6.86, the instrument automatically ignores the other
value for the second point (same for pH 10.01 and 9.18).
Note: During calibration, the secondary LCD shows the selected buffer
value. For the HI 9125 model, it is possible to display the
buffer temperature during calibration by pressing RANGE.
Note: To clear a previous calibration and return to the default values,
press CFM, then CAL after entering the calibration mode and
before the first buffer is accepted. The LCD will show “CLr CAL” for
one second, and then will return to normal mode.

ONE-POINT CALIBRATION
For optimum accuracy it is always recommended to perform a two-point
calibration, but for a faster operation a single-point calibration can be
used. pH 7.01 or pH 6.86 (NIST) are normally used for this purpose,
even though the meters can be calibrated with any of the 5 memorized
calibration values.
After calibrating the first point (see above), press the CAL key to end
the calibration procedure.

p H BUFFER TEMPERATURE
DEPENDENCE
The temperature has an effect on pH. The calibration buffer solutions
are affected by temperature changes to a lesser degree than normal
solutions. During calibration the instrument will automatically calibrate
to the pH value corresponding to the measured or set temperature.
