Chapter 4 - PROBE INSTALLATION HI 7609829 and HI 7629829 multisensor probes are used for the measurements of pH, ORP, conductivity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, chloride, nitratenitrogen, ammonium-nitrogen and temperature. Each probe can utilize 3 sensors. A description of each sensor follows. 4.1 SENSOR DESCRIPTIONS HI 7609829-0 Combination pH sensor features a glass pH sensitive bulb and a silver/silver chloride double junction reference with gelled electrolyte.
HI 7609829-10: Ammonium selective electrode (ISE) is a combination liquid membrane sensor used for the detection of free ammonium-nitrogen in freshwater samples. The sensor utilizes a polymeric membrane made with ammonium ionophore in a PVC head and silver/silver chloride double junction gel filled reference electrode. This sensor is used in place of the pH sensor in the probe.
4.2 SENSOR PREPARATION / ACTIVATION 4.2.1 pH Preparation Remove the shipping cap from the pH sensor. If the shipping cap does not contain any liquid, pour HI 70300 into shipping cap, place it back on the sensor and soak for at least 1/2 hour before use. If HI 70300 is not available, pH 4.01 buffer may be substituted. 4.2.2 ORP Activation For improved redox measurements, the surface of the sensor must be clean and smooth. A pretreatment procedure should be performed to ensure quick response.
• With the sensor facing down screw the membrane cap counterclockwise to the end of the threads. Some electrolyte will overflow. • Rinse outside of sensor with deionized water. • Invert sensor and inspect. There should be no bubbles or debris between the membrane and sensor body. 4.2.4 EC and EC/Turbidity Sensor Preparation The EC and EC/Turbidity sensors do not need to be soaked or hydrated before use. Use the small brush included in the probe maintenance kit to clean and loosen any debris before using. 4.
4.3 SENSOR INSTALLATION The HI 76x9829 can support 3 different sensors: Connector 1: pH, pH/ORP or ISE (Ammonium, Chloride, Nitrate), Connector 2: D.O., Connector 3: EC or EC/Turbidity. To make installation easier, the sensors have color-coded caps and the sockets are identified with colored triangles. Note The EC/Turbidity sensor with 9 pin connector does not have a color-coded cap. It is always installed into the socket with three blue triangles.
For a correct installation: • Grease the sensor O-ring with the lubricant found in the probe maintenance kit. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other grease/lubricants as it may cause the O-ring to swell. • Insert the sensor into the correctly color coded opening while positioning the connector key toward the center of the probe. Make sure the connector is seated correctly (the sensor will no longer move freely) before tightening the locking threads with your fingers.
Chapter 5 - INITIALIZATION AND MEASUREMENT 5.1 BATTERY INSTALLATION HI 9829 is supplied with 4 rechargeable, size C NiMH (Nickel-metal hydride) batteries. The battery symbol on the LCD indicates the remaining battery charge. The meter has a low battery warning, and when the symbol starts blinking, batteries should be charged or replaced with new ones. When the batteries are discharged the meter will automatically shut off to avoid erroneous readings. 5.1.
• Connect the HI 710045 cable to the probe connector on the meter and power adapter, then connect the adapter to an AC power outlet. • The battery charging animation will be displayed. It takes about 6 hours to completely charge fully discharged batteries. Note The meter log, GPS information, system setup and status can be viewed during battery charging. The battery charging status is indicated by a small animated battery icon found in the lower left corner. During charging the meter may feel quite warm.
5.1.3 Probe Battery Installation (for logging probes only) To install probe batteries: Replace batteries in a nonhazardous area only. Remove the battery cover by turning it counterclockwise. Insert the batteries observing polarity. Note: Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace the battery cover by engaging the threads and turning it clockwise. Continue turning until it is flush with probe body.
5.2 METER INITIALIZATION After connecting the desired sensors to the probe and connecting the probe to the meter (see previous chapter), turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF. After the initialization has been completed, the meter displays the PROBE STATUS SCREEN. The probe status screen identifies the probe and attached sensors.

Sensor Maintenance I•Before sevicing, rinse the probe with tap water. • If a more thorough cleaning is required, clean the probe body and sensor with the supplied brush or a non-abrasive detergent. If any deposit scales the sensor, gently brush the sensor surface with the supplied brush, while paying attention to not damage the plastic body. Do not use the brush on the membrane. For a top performance probe, it is recommended to replace the membrane every 2 months and the electrolyte monthly.
ISE Sensor Maintenance • After measurements inspect o-ring, connector and body. Rinse ISE sensor with tap water to remove films or other coatings. • Shake down the sensor as you would do with a clinical thermometer to eliminate any air bubbles. • Soak the electrode in its corresponding 10 ppm calibration solution for at least 1/2 hour prior to calibration. Store dry in protective cap when not in use. • For long-term storage rinse the electrodes with water.
APPENDIX B - PROBE DEPLOYMENT General Guidelines for fixed installation installation: • Select a water-sampling site that will allow collection of representative water samples. • Position the probe so the sensor surfaces face toward the flow. This will minimize air bubble or fluid cavitation. Limit flow rate to moderate • Mount Probe 0 to 45° angle from vertical to avoid sensors (pH, pH/ORP, ISE) from becoming electrically discontinuous due to internal electrolytes flowing away from their internal cells.
The Hanna HI 76X0929 has been designed for a variety of water quality measurements both in situ or in active deployments in urban or natural waters. The HI 9829 systems may be used for discrete spot sampling with a meter and the meter’s log on demand function, unattended with continuous monitoring and logging from the meter, or unattended using a logging probe.
The probe is suitable for measurements in a flow cell. Pumping water to a flowthrough monitoring station has obvious pros and cons. Typically a shelter is required to secure a pump, and flow chamber. A power requirement, shelter, pump maintenance and higher installation cost need to be considered. Freeze protection, security, and convenience of calibration and possibility of adding multiple measurement points and antifouling preconditioning systems are advantages to this type of installation.
Flow Cell Stabilization: Mount the flow cell to a rigid surface with hardware provided. When selecting location, provide space for removal of the probe from the flow cell. Mount the flow cell so that the probe (when installed) will be located between vertical and 45° with the sensors facing down. Direct the outlet piping upward a minimum of 50 mm (2”) so that bubbles do not settle on the measuring sensors. Install 5/8”ID tubing onto barbed fittings.
Flow Cell Guidelines: Do not exceed pressure specification of flow cell. Strictly follow established operating procedures from regulatory or governing bodies. Avoid trapped gas in flow cell especially on the measuring sensors. Maintain a constant flow rate. Freeze protection is required if flow cell is left unattended. If flow cell and probe is used in direct sunlight it is advised to cover flow cell with foil or other material after determining sensors are free of gas bubbles.
APPENDIX C - ISE INFORMATION This Appendix describes additional information about the ISE sensors used on the HI76x9829 Probe. HI 7609829-10: Ammonium selective electrode (ISE) is a combination liquid membrane sensor used for the detection of free ammonium-nitrogen in freshwater samples. The sensor utilizes a polymeric membrane made with ammonium ionophore in a PVC head and silver/silver chloride double junction gel filled reference electrode. The outer body of the sensor is the thermoplastic PEI.
HI 76098290-10 Ammonium ion sensor linearity @25°C 150 100 mV 50 0 -50 -100 0.01 0.1 1 10 log ppm NH4+N 100 1000 The calibration solutions and displayed measurements are as ppm Ammoniumnitrogen. Due to the space restriction of the display the unit of measurement will be displayed as “ppmAm”.. The ammonium sensor will last longer in colder clean waters than in severely contaminated water or warmer waters.
HI 7609829-11:: Chloride ion selective electrode is a combination solid state sensor used for the detection of free chloride ions in freshwater samples. The sensor utilizes a silver chloride pellet housed in a PEI head and a silver/silver chloride double junction gel filled reference electrode. The outer body of the sensor is the thermoplastic PEI. This sensor is used in place of the pH sensor in the probe.
The calibration solutions and displayed measurements are as ppm Chloride ions. Due to the space restriction of the display the unit of measurement will be displayed as “ppmCl” (without charge). The chloride sensor will last longer in colder clean waters than in severely contaminated water or warmer waters. This is because the external surface of the sensor responsible for the chloride ion sensitivity can react with water contaminants or be leached out of the sensor with continued exposure.
HI 7609829-12:: Nitrate ion selective electrode is a combination liquid membrane sensor used for the detection of nitrate nitrogen in freshwater samples. The sensor utilizes a polymeric membrane made with nitrate ionophore in a PVC head and a silver/silver chloride double junction gel filled reference electrode. The outer body of the sensor is the thermoplastic PEI. This sensor is used in place of the pH sensor in the probe.
The calibration solutions and displayed measurements are as ppm Nitratenitrogen. Due to the space restriction of the display the unit of measurement will be displayed as “ppmNi”.. The nitrate sensor will last longer in colder clean waters than in severely contaminated water or warmer waters. This is because the active chemicals responsible for the nitrate ion sensitivity are leached out of the membrane with continued exposure.
