PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION Remove the instrument from the packing material and examine it carefully to make sure that no damage has occurred during shipping. If there is any damage, notify your Dealer. Each thermometer is supplied complete with: • HI762BL Temperature Probe • 1.5V AA Alkaline Batteries (4 pcs) • Paper rolls (5 pcs) • Tags with holders (5 pcs) • Rugged Carrying Case • Instruction Manual Note: Save all packing material until you are sure that the instrument functions correctly.
To prolong battery life, the backlight and printing features are disabled when the batteries are getting low; "LOBAT" indication is displayed on LCD to warn the user of this condition. However, the meter continues to measure correctly even when the low battery indication is displayed. The meter automatically switches itself off when the batteries are too weak to support proper function.

INITIAL PREPARATION Each meter is supplied complete with batteries. Remove the back cover, unwrap the batteries and install them while paying attention to the polarity. Alternatively, connect the HI 710005 or HI 710006 voltage adapter to the power adapter plug. To prepare the instrument for use, choose the most appropriate temperature probe for your application (see accessories) and connect it to the connector located on the top of the instrument.
SETUP MODE Setup can be used to view data regarding the instrument status (e.g. battery charge) or GLP data (e.g. calibration date) or to view or print the logged data. It also allows the user to change the meter parameters (e.g. time) and to gain access to stored data. • To enter setup mode, ensure the meter is not logging and then press the ALT and FNC keys.
PASSWORD PROTECTION Setting the GLP parameters (calibration alarm time-out, instrument ID code, time and date) can be password protected. If password is set to a value different from 0000 (factory setting), the user will be asked to enter the password. • Select the desired GLP parameter code. • Enter the password using the arrow keys. FNC LOT INFO • Press the ALT and CFM keys to confirm.

Note: The Sample ID is stored in the log memory as a 14 digit hexadecimal code. Only the last 6 digits will be displayed on the LCD: two (the least significant) on the lower LCD, and the next four on the upper LCD. Example: If the Sample ID is 010000012C354B: If the Sample ID code is null: Also only the last six digits will be printed on a single printer line. The hexadecimal digits '0'-'9' are printed as " 0" and the digits 'A'-'F' are printed as "*1"-"*6".
• If the sample number is correct, the samples starting from the selected one to the last sample of the lot will be printed. To stop printing before the last sample is reached, press and hold down the ALT and PAPER keys until the printer stops. • The Sample ID will be printed for each sample of Lot 00, and once per lot for Lot 01 to Lot 16. • During printout, the LCD will display the sample number that is being printed at that moment. If printout is stopped the LCD will show the last printed sample number.
DELETE LOGGED DATA • Select code 05 to delete the Log on Demand data or code 06 to delete the Timed Log Data. • A scrolling message will be displayed. • Press ALT and CFM to confirm deletion. • It is also possible to escape without data deletion pressing ALT and FNC. Note: The associated Sample IDs will be deleted, too. GLP DATA Cod. 10 - viewing GLP data • Select the code 10 • A message will scroll twice across LCD. • The LCD will then display the instrument identification (ID) code.
TAKING TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS To prepare the instrument for use, choose the most appropriate temperature probe for your application (see accessories) and connect it to the connector located on the top of the instrument. All the probes have been factory precalibrated and no calibration is needed. Press ON/OFF to power on the instrument. To take temperature measurements, simply FNC insert the probe in the sample to be tested and allow the reading to stabilize. The temperature is displayed on the upper LCD.
PRINTING/LOGGING FUNCTIONS Two different modes to print / log data are available: 1. Timed Logging; samples are stored and printed (if print function is active) at fixed time intervals. Data are stored in the lots 01 to 16. 2. Log on Demand; samples are stored and printed (if print function is active) when the LOG key is pressed. Data are stored in the lot 00. It's possible to perform the Log on Demand either in normal mode or in Timed Logging mode.
c - Sample ID (only for the first sample of the lot) d -Date (only for the first printed sample of the lot or of the day) e - Sample number f - Time g -Reading ("----" means out of range). If no keys are pressed, the meter enters sleep mode to prolong the battery life and only the "LOG" "INTV" symbols will be visible on LCD. While logging, during the sleep mode, the last logged reading will appear briefly on the LCD. To reactivate the LCD press ON/OFF.
low battery condition, the message "bAtt" will appear for a few seconds on the LCD. Note: When an external adapter or new batteries are connected, the printing must be manually enabled in order to return to logging with printing mode. LOG ON DEMAND In measuring or timed log mode, press LOG to store the current reading. "tAG" will be displayed on the upper part of the LCD and "Id" on the lower part.
last logged lot in the lower LCD and the number of logged samples in the upper LCD are displayed. It is then possible to scroll through the following lot information with the à key: • Sample ID • lot starting date (dd.mm) • lot starting year • lot starting time (hh.mm) • lot logging interval By pressing the à key again, the meter displays the number of logged samples again. When the number of logged samples is displayed, it is possible to pass to another lot with the á and â keys.
GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE (GLP) GLP is a set of functions that allows the storage or retrieval (when necessary) of data regarding the maintenance and status of the meter. LAST CALIBRATION DATE Last calibration date is stored automatically after a successful calibration. The last calibration date can be displayed through setup code 10 (see "SETUP MODE" section). CALIBRATION ALARM TIME-OUT Every time it is turned on, the meter checks if the time-out time, fixed at 1 year, has expired.
DATA TRANSFER TO PC HI 98811 contains infrared transmitting circuitry. Ensure there isn't any logging process active. Press TEMP/TIME to set the meter to time or date mode and simply place your data-logger on a HI 9200 Infrared Transmitter (ensuring that the two infrared LEDs are placed on top of each other) and the memory content can then be downloaded to your PC through the HI 9200's RS232 port.
MEMORY ORGANIZATION Logged data are stored in the internal EEPROM and are retained even if batteries and external power are disconnected. MEMORY CAPACITY • 12900 data samples divided into 16 lots (lots 01 to 16) • 9999 data samples maximum in one single lot • 300 data samples for the Log on demand (lot 00). TIMED LOG (lots 01 to 16) Each time a new logging period starts, it automatically starts from the next available lot.
PRINTER MAINTENANCE CHANGE THE INK CARTRIDGE When printouts become faint, it might be necessary to change the ink cartridge. Contact your Hanna authorized center. INSERT THE PAPER ROLL The meters use plain paper rolls, 38 mm width. To insert a new roll open the paper cover pulling it gently and take the cylinder away. Insert the paper edge in the printer slot and feed the printer by pressing the PAPER key. Allow about 5 cm (2") of paper to exit from the printer and replace the paper cover.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT When the batteries are inserted and no power adapter is connected, the meter can recognize different batteries charge levels. 1. Fully charged batteries. The backlight and printer can be enabled. 2. Weakening batteries - "LOBAT" symbol blinks on LCD. The backlight and printer are automatically disabled and it is not possible to enable them until new batteries are inserted or an external power adapter is connected. 3. Weak batteries - "LOBAT" symbol stays still on the lower LCD.

UN-HOUSED NTC SENSORS Often it is necessary to "customize" testing to meet specific criteria in the laboratory. For this reason, Hanna offers a wide line of NTC Thermistor sensors that can be custom mounted in almost any situation. Select the sensor that matches your application, attach it to the RCA adaptor and plug it into the meter. You have now a temperature sensor that is custom fit to your requirements.
