GENERAL DESCRIPTION
HI 23 and HI 24 series are real time microprocessor-based
EC or TDS controllers. They provide accurate measurements,
flexible ON/OFF or proportional control capabilities, analog input and output, dual setpoint and alarm signal.
The system is composed of a case inside which the signal
conversion circuitry, the microprocessor circuitry and the
output power drivers are contained.
GREAT FLEXIBILITY
The HI 23 and HI 24 controller series offer a great flexibility
with the possibility to connect a large variety of peripherals,
such as pumps, valves, relays and other control devices.
Each output can be fully programmed. The input can be
from a conductivity probe or from a 4-20mA transmitter. A
programmable analog output can be used for monitoring or
other purposes.
The controller also has the capability to communicate with a
computer via RS485 bus and to be part of an RS485 network.
This allows the control of any process where conductivity is
involved.
The figure below illustrates the connection possibilities of advanced Hanna controllers, such as HI 23 or HI 24.

• Power Supply: Connect a 3-wire power
cable to the terminal strip, while paying
attention to the correct line (L), earth (PE)
and neutral (N) terminal connections.
Power: 230VAC - 50 mA.
Line Contact: 200mA fuse inside.
PE leakage current 1 mA; this contact must be connected to ground.
• Conductivity input: the default input is from conductivity
probe. Connect the EC probe to the terminals #10 on
page 8. HI7639D is a conductivity probe with built-in temperature sensor.
• Pt 100 Terminals (to be used only if the EC probe is
without Pt 100): connect to these contacts (#3 on page 8)
the Pt 100 temperature sensor for automatic temperature
compensation of measurement. Follow the below diagram
for connecting a 3-wire Pt 100 sensor as HI5001/5:

If using a different Pt 100, separated from the conductivity
probe, connect the cable shield to pin 11, and the other
wires as explained below.
In the case of a 2-wire sensor connect
the Pt 100 to pins 8 and 10, and short
pins 9 and 10 with a jumper wire.
If the Pt 100 has more than 2 wires, connect the two wires of one end to pins 9
and 10 (pin 9 is an auxiliary input to
compensate for the cable resistance) and
one wire from the other end to pin 8.
Leave the fourth wire unconnected, if
present.
Note
If the meter does not detect the temperature probe, it will
switch automatically to manual temperature compensation
with the temperature adjustable through the up and down
arrow keys. The “°C” symbol will blink on the LCD.
Note
All external cables to be connected to the right panel should
end with cable lugs.
• Analog output: In the models where it
is available, connect an external recorder
with a 2-wire cable to these terminals
(#2 on page 8) paying attention to the
correct polarity. A wide variety of output
signals, either in V or in mA, is available to fit most standards. Terminal 5 is the voltage output,
terminal 6 is the analog output common and terminal 7 is
the current output.
• Contact 1 and 2: Connect the dosing
devices to these terminals (#8 and #9
on page 8) in order to activate and deactivate them according to the selected
control parameters.
• mA Input: to switch to mA input signal
from a conductivity transmitter (e.g.
HI8936 or HI98143 series) see the setup
procedure (code 6).
12
13
Connect the two signal wires from the transmitter to terminals
#5 on page 8, paying attention to the correct polarity. Terminal 14 is the positive input and terminal 15 is the negative
input.
An unregulated 10 ÷ 30 VDC - 50 mA max.
power supply output (#4 on page 8) is provided to power the transmitter, if needed. Pin
12 is the positive voltage terminal and pin 13
is the negative voltage terminal.
Once the installation is completed, select the appropriate
working range, the reference temperature (20 or 25°C) and
perform conductivity or TDS calibration as described in this
instruction manual. Set the control parameters according
to the process of interest.
The setup codes can be selected
after password and CFM are
pressed. When CFM is pressed,
the current setup item is saved
on EEPROM and the following
item is displayed. Whenever
LCD is pressed, the device reverts back to control mode. The
same is true when CFM is pressed on the last setup item.
The possible transitions in setup mode are the following:
ENTERING THE PASSWORD
• Press SETUP to enter the setup mode. The LCD will display
“0000” on the upper part and “PAS” on the lower. The first
digit of the upper part of the LCD will blink.
SETUP MODE
The Setup Mode allows the user to set all needed characteristics of the meter.
The setup mode is entered by pressing SETUP
and entering the password when the device
is in idle or control mode.
Generally speaking, if the password is not inserted the user
can only view the setup parameters (except for password)
without modifying them (and the device remains in control
mode). An exception is certain setup items, or flags, which
can activate special tasks when set and confirmed.
To each setup parameter (or setup item) is assigned a twodigit setup code which is entered and displayed on the
secondary LCD.
14
• Enter the first value of the password by the
or
keys.
• Then confirm the displayed digit with and move to the
next one.
• When the whole password has been inserted, press CFM
to confirm it.
15
Note
The default password is set at “0000”.
• The LCD will display “SET” on the upper part and “c.00” on the lower, allowing the user to edit setup parameters (see table below).
• Using the arrow keys as for the above password procedure, enter the code of the parameter to set, e.g. 41.
• Confirm the code by pressing CFM and the default or the
previously memorized value will be displayed with the
first digit blinking.
Note
When the password is not inserted or a wrong password is
confirmed, the display will only show the previously memorized value, without blinking (read only mode). In this case,
the value cannot be set. Press LCD and start again.
• Enter the desired value using the arrow keys and then press
CFM.
• After confirmation, the selected parameter is
displayed. The user can scroll through the
parameters by pressing CFM.
• In order to directly set another parameter, press SETUP again and enter the
code or scroll to it by pressing CFM.

The process controller automatically checks to ensure that
the entered data matches other related variables. If a wrong
configuration is entered, “ERROR” blinks on the LCD to
prompt the user. The correct configurations are the following:
If M1=
/ 0 then S1 HA, S1 LA;
If M2=
/ 0 then S2 HA, S2 LA;
If M1= 1 then S1-H1 LA;
If M1= 2 then S1+H1 HA;
If M1= 3 then S1+D1 HA;
If M1= 4 then S1-D1 LA;
19
If M2= 1 then S2-H2 LA;
If M2= 2 then S2+H2 HA;
If M2= 3 then S2+D2 HA;
If M2= 4 then S2-D2 LA;
If M1= 1 and M2 = 2
then S1-H1 S2+H2, S2 LA, HA S1;
If M1 = 2 and M2 = 1
then S2-H2 S1+H1, S1 LA, HA S2;
If M1 = 3 and M2 = 2
then S1 S2+H2, S2 LA, HA S1+D1;
If M1 = 2 and M2 = 3
then S1+H1 S2, S1 LA, HA S2+D2;
If M1 = 4 and M2 = 1
then S1 S2–H2, S1–D1 LA, HA S2;
If M1 = 1 and M2 = 4
then S1–H1 S2, S2–D2 LA, HA S1;
If M1 = 3 and M2 = 4
then S1 S2, S2–D2 LA, HA S1+D1;
If M1 = 4 and M2 = 3
then S2 S1, S1–D1 LA, HA S2+D2;
where the minimum deviation (D1 or D2) is 0.5% of the maximum range value.

Some setup codes are available depending on the model.
When a wrong setup value is confirmed
or a wrong setup code is selected, the controller does not skip to the next setup item
but remains in the current item displaying
a flashing “ERROR” indicator until the parameter value is changed by the user.
In some circumstances, the user cannot succeed in setting a
parameter to a desired value if the related parameters are not
changed beforehand; e.g. to set a EC high setpoint to 10.0
mS the high alarm must be set to a value greater than 10.0
mS first.
CONTROL MODE
The control mode is the normal operational mode for these
meters. During control mode the meter fulfills the following
main tasks:
• converts information from EC/TDS and temperature inputs to digital values;
• control relays and generates the analog outputs as determined by the setup configuration, displays alarm
condition;
In the HI 24 series it is possible to switch between EC and
TDS reading pressing “LCD”. The TDS value is obtained multiplying the EC measurement by the TDS factor set through
setup. The HI 23 series displays EC only.
The status of the meter is shown by the LEDs.

The meter exits control mode by pressing SETUP or CAL and
confirming the password. Note
that this command generates
a temporary exit. To deactivate
the control mode definitively,
set CONTROL ENABLE to “0”
(item # 02).
RELAY MODES
Once enabled, the relays 1 and 2 can be used in four different modes):
1) ON/OFF, high setpoint (low conductivity dosage);
2) ON/OFF, low setpoint (high conductivity dosage);
3) PID, low setpoint (low conductivity dosage, if available);
4) PID, high setpoint (high conductivity dosage, if available).
21
An upper boundary is imposed for dosage time when relays
are energized continuously, i.e. when relay works in ON/
OFF mode or also in PID mode but in the latter case only if
the relay is always ON. This parameter can be set through
the setup procedure. When the maximum boundary is
reached, an alarm is generated; the device stays in alarm
condition until relay is de-energized.
ON/OFF CONTROL MODE
Either for mode 1 or 2 (high or low
conductivity dosage) the user has to
define the following values through
setup:
• relay setpoint (µS/mS/ppm value);
• relay hysteresis (µS/mS/ppm value).
Connect your device to the COM and NO (Normally Open)
or NC (Normally Closed) terminals.
The ON relay state occurs when relay is energized (NO
and COM connected, NC and COM disconnected).
The OFF relay state occurs when relay is de-energized (NO
and COM disconnected, NC and COM connected).
The following graphs show relay states along with EC measured value (similar graph can be derived for TDS control).
As shown below, a high setpoint relay is activated when the
measured EC exceeds the setpoint and is deactivated when it
is below the setpoint value minus hysteresis.
de-energized when the EC value is above the setpoint plus
the hysteresis.

The low setpoint relay may be used to control a low conductivity dosing pump.
P.I.D. CONTROL MODE (HI 23x2z and HI 24x2z models only)
PID control is designed to eliminate the cycling associated
with ON/OFF control in a rapid and steady way by means
of the combination of the proportional, integral and derivative control methods.
With the proportional function, the duration of the activated
control is proportional to the error value (Duty Cycle Control Mode): as the measurement approaches setpoint, the
ON period diminishes.
The following graph describes the EC/TDS process controller behavior. Similar graph may apply to the controller.

Such a behavior is suitable to control a high conductivity
dosing pump.
A low setpoint relay as can be seen from the following graphs
is energized when the EC value is below the setpoint and is

t0+Tc
t0+2Tc
t0+3Tc
During proportional control the process controller calculates
the relay activation time at certain moments t0, t0+Tc, t0+2Tc
etc. The ON interval (the shaded areas) is then dependent
on the error amplitude.
With the integral function (default), the controller will reach a
more stable output around the setpoint providing a more
accurate control than with the ON/OFF or proportional
action only.
23
The derivative function (rate action) compensates for rapid
changes in the system reducing undershoot and overshoot
of the EC or TDS value.
During PID control, the ON interval is dependent not only on
the error amplitude but even on the previous measurements.
Definitely PID control provides more accurate and stable
control than ON/OFF controllers and it is best suitable in
system with fast response, quickly reacting to changes due
to addition of low or high conductivity solution.
An example of how the response overshoot can be improved
with a proper rate action setting is depicted in the following
graphic.

PID TRANSFER FUNCTION
The transfer function of a PID control is as follows:
Kp + Ki/s + s Kd = Kp(1 + 1/(s Ti) +s Td)
with Ti = Kp/Ki, Td = Kd/Kp,
where the first term represents the proportional action, the

RATE ACTION COMPENSATES FOR RAPID CHANGES
second is the integrative action and the third is the derivative action.
Proportional action can be set by means of the Proportional
Band (PB). Proportional Band is expressed in percentage of
the input range and is related to Kp according to the following:
Kp = 100/PB.
The proportional action is set through the setup procedure
as “Deviation” in percent of full scale of the selected range.
Each setpoint has a selectable deviation: D1 for setpoint1
and D2 for setpoint2.
Two further parameters must be provided for both setpoints:
Ti = Kp/Ki, reset time, measured in minutes
Td = Kd/Kp, rate time, measured in minutes.
Ti1 and Td1 will be the reset time and rate time for setpoint1,
while Ti2 and Td2 will be the reset time and the rate time
for setpoint2.
TUNING A PID CONTROLLER
The proportional, integrative, derivative terms must be tuned,
i.e. adjusted to a particular process. Since the process variables are not typically known, a “trial and error” tuning
procedure must be applied to get the best possible control
for the particular process. The target is to achieve a fast
response time and a small overshoot.
Many tuning procedures are available and can be applied
to the EC/TDS controllers. A simple and profitable procedure is reported in this manual and can be used in almost
all applications.
25
The user can vary five different parameters, i.e. the setpoint
(S1 or S2), the deviation (D1 or D2), the reset time, the rate
time and the proportional control mode period Tc (from 1
to 30 minutes).
Note
4. The deviation, Ti and Td can be calculated from the following:
• Deviation = Tx * max. slope (EC/TDS)
• Ti = Tx / 0.4 (minutes)
• Td = Tx * 0.4 (minutes).
5. Set the above parameters and restart the system with the
controller in the loop. If the response has too much overshoot or is oscillating, then the system can be fine-tuned
slightly increasing or decreasing the PID parameters one
at a time.
User can disable the derivative and/or integrative action
(for P or PI controllers) by setting Td = 0 and/or Ti = MAX
(Ti) respectively through the setup procedure.
SIMPLE TUNING PROCEDURE
The following procedure uses a graphical technique of analyzing a process response curve to a step input.
1. Starting from a solution with an EC or TDS value quite
different from the dosed liquid, turn on the dosing device
at its maximum capacity without the controller in the loop
(open loop process). Note the starting time.
2. After some delay (T0) the EC or TDS starts to vary. After
more delay, the EC or TDS will reach a maximum rate of
change (slope). Note the time that this maximum slope
occurs and the EC or TDS value at which it occurs. Note
the maximum slope in EC or TDS per minute. Turn the
system power off.
Note
Connecting an external device (e.g. chart recorder) to the
controller, the procedure is easier and doesn’t need to hand
plot the process variable (EC or TDS).
ALARM RELAY
The alarm relay functions in the following manner:
During alarm condition, the relay is de-energized. When
not in alarm condition, the relay is energized.
FS•C = NO (Normally Open)
Energized Relay
COM
FS•O = NC (Normally Closed)
De-energized Relay
Example:
3. On the chart draw a tangent to the maximum slope point until
intersection with the horizontal line corresponding to the initial
EC or TDS value. Read the system time delay Tx on the time
axis.
26
High alarm set at 1400 µS
Low alarm set at 600 µS
An hysteresis will eliminate the possibility of continuous sequences ‘energizing/de-energizing’ the alarm relay when
the measured value is close to the alarm setpoint. The alarm
hysteresis amplitude is 1.5% of full scale.
27
Moreover the alarm signal is generated only after a user
selectable time period (alarm mask) has elapsed since the
controlled value has overtaken one alarm threshold. This
additional feature will avoid fake or temporary alarm conditions.
Note
If the power supply is interrupted, the relay is de-energized as
if in alarm condition to alert the operator.
In addition to the user-selectable alarm relays, all EC/TDS
controllers are equipped with the Fail Safe alarm feature.
The Fail Safe feature protects the process against critical
errors arising from power interruptions, surges and human
errors. This sophisticated yet easy-to-use system resolves
these predicaments on two fronts: hardware and software.
To eliminate problems of blackout and line failure, the alarm
function operates in a “Normally Closed” state and hence
alarm is triggered if the wires are tripped, or when the power
is down.
This is an important feature since with most meters the alarm
terminals close only when an abnormal situation arises, however, due to line interruption, no alarm is sounded, causing
extensive damage. On the other hand, software is employed to set off the alarm in
abnormal circumstances, for example, if the
dosing terminals are closed for too long. In
both cases, the red LED will also blink providing a visual warning signal.
The Fail Safe mode is accomplished by connecting the external alarm circuit between the FS•C (Normally Open)
and the COM terminals. This way, an alarm will warn the
user when EC exceeds the alarm thresholds, during power
down and in the case of a broken wire between the process
meter and the external alarm circuit.
28
Note
In order to have the Fail Safe feature activated, an external
power supply has to be connected to the alarm device.
CONTROL THROUGH ANALOG OUTPUT
Models HI 23xy1 and HI 24xy1 have a proportional analog output signal (selectable among 0-1mA, 0-20mA,
4-20mA, 0-5VDC, 1-5VDC and 0-10VDC) at the analog
output terminals.
With this signal, the actual output level amplitude is varied,
rather than the proportion of ON and OFF times (duty cycle
control). A device with analog input (e.g. a pump with a 420 mA input) can be connected to these terminals.
IDLE MODE
IDLE mode is entered through setup code 2.
During idle mode the device performs the same tasks as when
it is in control mode except for the relays. The alarm relay is
activated (no alarm condition), the control relays are not
activated while the analog output remains activated.
When the instrument is in idle mode the red and green status
LEDs are on.
Idle mode is useful to disable control actions when the external devices are not installed or when the user detects unusual
circumstances.
29
The type (voltage or current) and the range of the output
analog signal is selectable through the jumpers on the board.
Analog output options are as follows:
0-5 VDC; 1-5 VDC
0-10 VDC
(default)
0-20 mA; 4-20 mA
(default)
0-1 mA
Control actions are stopped as soon as the
user presses SETUP and enters the password.
In order to reactivate the control mode, use
code 02 of setup (see “Setup” section). Otherwise, the meter remains in idle mode.
ANALOG OUTPUT
Models HI 23xy1 and HI 24xy1 are provided with the analog output feature.
The output is galvanic separated and can be a voltage or a
current.
Pin 5 is the voltage output, pin 6 is the
analog output common and pin 7 is the
current output.
With the recorder, simply connect the
common port to the common output
and the second port to the current output or voltage output (depending on
which parameter is being used) as depicted aside.
Note
Note
Note
30
Choice between different ranges with the same configuration (for example 0-20 mA and 4-20 mA) is achieved via
software by entering the setup mode and selecting code 40
(see Setup Mode section for exact procedure).
Factory default is 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA for the current output
and 0-10 VDC for the voltage output.
In any case, contact the nearest Hanna Customer Service
Center for changing of the default configuration.
By default the minimum and maximum values of analog
output correspond to the minimum and maximum of the
selected range of the meter. For example, for a controller with
a selected 0 to 1999 µS range and analog output of 4-20
mA, the default values are 0 and 1999 µS corresponding to
4 and 20 mA, respectively.
These values can be changed by the user to have the analog
output matching a different EC or TDS range, for example,
4 mA = 30 mS and 20 mA = 50 mS.
To change the default values, the setup mode must be entered. Setup codes for changing the analog output minimum
and maximum are 41 or 42, respectively. For the exact procedure, refer to the setup mode section in the manual.
The analog output is factory calibrated through software. The
user may also perform the calibration procedure as explained
in the following. It is recommended to perform the output
calibration at least once a year.
Analog output resolution is 1.5‰ f.s. with 0.5% f.s. accuracy.
The analog output is “frozen” when entering the setup or
calibration mode (after password confirmation).
31
To obtain accurate readings, use the calibration solution in
the selected range and closer to the values to be measured.
CALIBRATION
The controller is factory calibrated for temperature as well as
for the analog input and outputs.
The user should periodically calibrate the instrument for EC
or TDS. For greatest accuracy, it is recommended that the
instrument is calibrated frequently.
Before beginning normal operation, it is recommended to
standardize the probe with the Hanna calibration solution
close to the expected sample value and inside the selected
range.
EC AND TDS CALIBRATION
The calibration points for EC and TDS are as follows:
Range
Calibration point(s)
0.0÷199.9 µS/cm
84.0 µS/cm
0÷1999 µS/cm
1413 µS/cm
0.00÷19.99 mS/cm
5.00 - 12.88 mS/cm
0.0÷199.9 mS/cm
80.0 - 111.8 mS/cm
0.0÷100.0 ppm
42.0 ppm
0÷1000 ppm
800 ppm
0.00÷10.00 ppt
6.44 ppt
0.0÷100.0 ppt
55.9 ppt
The user should select the appropriate range to calibrate (setup
code 03). Calibration must be performed for each range used.
The temperature probe should also be connected to the process meter (when using a different temperature probe). The
meters are equipped with a stability indicator. The user is also
guided with indications on the display during the calibration
procedure.
Initial Preparation
Pour a small quantity of the calibration solution (e.g. 1413 µS/
cm) into a beaker. If possible, use a plastic beaker to minimize any EMC interference.
For accurate calibration use two beakers containing the same
solution, the first one for rinsing the probe, the second one
for calibration. By doing this, contamination between the solutions is minimized.
32
Offset Calibration
• To perform the EC or TDS calibration enter the calibration mode, by pressing CAL
and entering the password.
• After the correct password is entered,
the control actions stop and the primary LCD will display the first EC or
TDS calibration value, with the "CAL"
indicator blinking. The secondary LCD
displays the temperature.
Note
If the wrong password is entered the system reverts back to
normal operation, displaying EC or TDS values.
• 0 is the default value for the 1st calibration point. Dry the conductivity probe
and leave it in air.
• Only when the reading is stable the "CAL"
indicator will stop flashing (after about
30 seconds) and the "CFM" indicator
will start blinking.
• Press CFM to confirm the calibration point;
the primary LCD will display the second
expected buffer value.
If the zero calibration cannot be performed,
"ERROR" will blink.
Cell constant calibration
• Select the solution value on
the primary display by pressing
or
if the selected
range has two possibilities
(e.g. 5.000 and 12.880
mS).
• Immerse the EC/TDS probe with the temperature sensor in
the selected solution. The level of solution must be higher
than the holes of the EC/TDS probe sleeve. Tap the EC/
TDS probe repeatedly on the bottom of the beaker and stir
to ensure that no air bubbles are trapped inside the sleeve.
33
• When the reading is stable, "CAL" will stop
flashing (after about 30 seconds) and
"CFM" indicator will blink.
• Press CFM to confirm the calibration
point; if the reading is close to the selected
solution, the meter stores the reading.
CELL CONSTANT DIRECT SELECTION
Whenever the EC/TDS probe cell constant is known, it is
possible to directly calibrate the meter using that value.
• Press CAL to enter calibration mode. The LCD will show 0.
• Press LCD to display the current cell constant on the primary LCD (factory default value is 2.000 cm-1).
If the reading is not close to the selected
solution, "ERROR" will blink.
A 2-point calibration is always suggested. However the EC/
TDS calibration can also be performed at 1 point. To calibrate offset only, just press CAL after confirmation (with CFM)
of the zero reading; the meter will return to normal operational mode. To have the cell constant calibrated first, press
the up or down arrow keys after entering the calibration procedure to skip to the next possible calibration buffer. In this
case, after confirmation of the cell constant, the meter will
ask for the offset calibration displaying zero on the LCD; press
CAL to exit or calibrate the offset, if desired.
34
Note
The EC or TDS calibration value shown is referenced at 25°C
even if the reference temperature of 20°C has been selected.
Note
During calibration, press LCD to display the cell constant
value on the primary display. Press LCD again to return to
calibration buffer visualization.
Note
To interrupt the calibration procedure press CAL to exit to
normal operational mode.
Note
If the process meter has never been calibrated or an EEPROM reset has occurred, the meter continues to perform
measurements. However, the user is informed of an EC or
TDS calibration requirement by a blinking “CAL” indication
(see “Startup” section).
Note
The device must be calibrated within the temperature range
specified for the EC or TDS calibration solution.
• Press SETUP key.
• Using ,
and , enter the probe cell constant (the
value must be between 1.333 and 4.000 cm-1) and confirm by pressing CFM.
Note
If the entered cell constant value is invalid, the “ERROR” indicator appear on the LCD.
Note
Press SETUP before CFM to exit without changing the cell
constant.
CALIBRATION BUFFER DIRECT SELECTION
This feature allows to set a user-defined calibration point,
in order to perform calibration at a point different from the
memorized standards.
• Press CAL to enter calibration mode. The LCD will show 0.
• Press SETUP key.
• Using ,
and , enter the desired buffer value and
confirm by pressing CFM.
35
Note
Note
Calibration procedure may be interrupted by pressing CAL
again at any time. If the calibration procedure is stopped
this way, or if the controller is switched off before the last
step, no calibration data is stored in nonvolatile memory (EEPROM).
Press SETUP before CFM to exit without changes.
It is suggested to calibrate the offset before entering the calibration buffer direct selection.
TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
The controller is factory calibrated for temperature. However,
the user may also perform a one point temperature calibration. This procedure is to calibrate the offset only; the slope
will remain as factory calibrated.
• Prepare a beaker containing a solution at a given temperature inside the range of the meter.
• Use a Checktemp or a calibrated thermometer with a
resolution of 0.1° as a reference thermometer.
• Immerse the temperature probe in the beaker as close to
the Checktemp as possible.
• Press and hold first CFM and
then CAL to enter the temperature calibration mode.
• Execute the password procedure.
• Select code 1 via the arrow keys for temperature calibration and confirm with CFM.
• CAL will blink on the LCD. The measured
temperature will be displayed on both the
primary and secondary LCD.
• Use the arrow keys to set on the secondary LCD the temperature read by the reference thermometer.
• When the reading has stabilized at a value near the calibration point, CAL will stop blinking and an intermittent
CFM will prompt the user to confirm the calibration.
• If the reading stabilizes at a reading significantly variant
from the first setpoint, an intermittent ERROR will prompt
the user to check the beaker or bath.
36
ANALOG INPUT CALIBRATION
The analog input is already factory calibrated. However, the
user may also perform a 2-point calibration at 4 and 20 mA.
It is sufficient to perform the calibration on one range only.
• Connect a mA simulator (e.g. HI931002) to the analog
input of the controller (#5 at page 7)
• Press and hold first CFM and then CAL to enter the analog
input calibration mode.
• Execute the password procedure.
• Select code 0 via the arrow
keys for analog input calibration and confirm with CFM. CAL will blink on the LCD.
• The secondary LCD will display “4” for the first calibration
point. The primary LCD will display the
conductivity reading.
• Set the mA simulator to 4 mA and wait
for the reading to stabilize, CAL will stop
blinking and an intermittent CFM will prompt the user to
confirm the calibration.
• If the reading stabilizes at a reading significantly variant
from the first calibration point, an intermittent ERROR will prompt the user to
check the input.
• If everything is satisfactory the secondary
LCD will display “20” for the second calibration point.
• Set the mA simulator to 20 mA and wait for the reading to
stabilize, CAL will stop blinking and an intermittent CFM
will prompt the user to confirm the calibration.
37
• Press CFM to confirm. The meter will return to normal operational mode.
Calibration procedure may be interrupted by pressing CAL
again at any time. If the calibration procedure is stopped
this way, or if the controller is switched off before the last
step, no calibration data is stored in nonvolatile memory (EEPROM).
ANALOG OUTPUT CALIBRATION
In the models where the analog output is available, this feature is factory calibrated through software. The user may also
perform these calibration procedures.
Note
It is recommended to perform the output calibration at least
once a year. Calibration should only be performed after 10
minutes from power up.
• With a multimeter or an HI 931002
connect the common port to the
ground output and the second port to
the current output or voltage output
(depending on which parameter is being calibrated).
• Press and hold in sequence CFM first, then
and then
• Execute the password procedure.
• The primary display will show the selected parameter blinking. Use the to select the code (0-5 see chart below) for
the desired parameter displayed on the secondary display
(e.g. 4-20 mA).

the interval.
• Use the or to make the HI
931002 or multimeter output correspond to the meter’s value
shown on the secondary display
(e.g. 4).
• Wait for approximately 30 seconds (until the reading of the
calibrator is stable).
• Press CFM to confirm. The meter will switch to the second
calibration point. Repeat the above procedure.
• After the desired readings are obtained, press CFM and
the meter will skip back to normal operational mode.
38

Note
When adjusting values using the or keys it is important
to allow for sufficient response time (up to 30 seconds)
The table below lists the values of output codes along with
the calibration point values (which are the analog output
minimum and the analog output maximum) as indicated
on the display.
The secondary display indicates the current calibration point
value, while the primary display indicates the current calibration type.
• Press or to cycle through the data forward or backwards respectively.
Note
In any moment, by pressing LCD or CAL DATA the meter will
return to the regular operating display.
• Press or to view the time of last calibration. The secondary display will show "HOU".
LAST CALIBRATION DATA
The meter can display the following last calibration data:
• Date
• Time
• Cell constant
While displaying these data, the controller remains in control mode. The data are related to the selected range only.
The procedure below indicates the flow. Displaying of the
items follows the above sequence.
• To begin the cycle press CAL DATA. The last calibration
date will appear on the primary LCD as DD.MM format,
while the secondary display will show the year.
If the meter has never been calibrated or an EEPROM
reset has occurred, no calibration data are shown when
CAL DATA is pressed. The “no CAL” message will blink
for a few seconds, then the meter skips back to normal
mode.
• Press or again to view the cell constant at the time of the last calibration.
The secondary display will show "CEL".
• Press or again to return to the first CAL DATA display
(date) at the time of last calibration.
FAULT CONDITIONS AND SELFTEST PROCEDURES
Note
40
The fault conditions below may be detected by the software:
• EEPROM data error;
• I2C internal bus failure;
• date lost;
• code dead loop.
EEPROM data error can be detected through EEPROM test procedure at startup or when explicitly requested using setup menu.
When an EEPROM error is detected, to the user is given the
option to perform a reset of EEPROM.
When an EEPROM reset has been performed
the calibration data are reset to default (every
range). An intermittent CAL will blink on the
display to advise the user of this status.
41
A I2C failure is detected when the I2C transmission is not
acknowledged or a bus fault occurs for more than a certain
number of attempts (this can be due, for example, to damage sustained by one of the ICs connected to I2C bus).
If so, the controller stops any tasks and displays a perpetual
sliding message “Serial bus error” (i.e. this is a fatal error).
As soon as one or more keys are pressed, the appropriate
segments out of 88:88 corresponding to the pressed keys,
will light up on the screen. The correspondence is given
below:
If an invalid date is read from RTC, it is initialized back to the
default date and time (01/01/98 - 00:00).
You can use special setup codes, perform selftest procedures
for LCD, keyboard, EEPROM, relays and LEDs, watchdog.
The operation of these functions is outlined in the setup section. The selftest procedures are described in detail in the
following subsections.
For example, if UP and CAL are pressed together the LCD
will look like this:
DISPLAY SELFTEST
The display selftest procedure consists of lighting up all of the
display segments together. The Display test is announced by
a scrolling "Display test" message.
The segments are lit for a few seconds and then switched

off before exiting the selftest procedure.
KEYBOARD SELFTEST
The keyboard selftest procedure begins with the message “Button test, press LCD, CAL and SETUP together to escape”. The
LCD will then show only a colon.
42
Note
A maximum of two keys may be pressed simultaneously to
be properly recognized.
To exit the keyboard test procedure press LCD, CAL and
SETUP simultaneously.
43
EEPROM SELFTEST
WATCHDOG
The EEPROM selftest procedure involves verifying the stored
EEPROM checksum. If the checksum is correct the “Stored
data good” message will be shown for a few seconds before exiting selftest procedure.
If not, the message “Stored data error - Press
to reset
stored data or to ignore”.
If
is pressed the EEPROM selftest procedure terminates
with no other action. Otherwise, EEPROM is reset with de-
fault values from ROM as when a device with a virgin EEPROM is switched on.
During EEPROM reset a blinking message
“Set” is shown on primary LCD; the secondary LCD displays “MEM”.
At the end of this operation all the parameters are reset to their default values. The
calibrated cell constant is also reset. For
this reason the "CAL" flag blinks until the
EC/TDS calibration is performed.
RELAYS AND LEDS
Relays and LEDs selftests are executed as follows:
First all of the relays and LEDs are switched off, then they are
switched on one at a time for a few seconds and cyclically.
User can interrupt the otherwise endless cycle pressing any
key, as indicated by the scrolling message.
Note
44
Relays and LEDs test has to be carried out with the relay
contacts disconnected from external plant devices.
When a dead loop condition is detected a reset is automatically invoked.
The effectiveness of watchdog capability can be tested
through one of the special setup items. This test consists of
executing a dummy dead loop that causes watchdog reset
signal to be generated.
EXTERNAL FUNCTIONS
HOLD FUNCTION
This function allows to perform the maintenance procedures. When the relevant digital
insulated input (terminals #11 on page 8) is
on, the analog output is frozen at its last value
and the control and alarm relays are disabled. The “Hld” indication is displayed on the secondary
LCD when the function is active. A 5 to 24 VDC voltage
can be applied to this input.
While in hold state, it is possible to display
the temperature reading on the secondary
LCD pressing the right arrow key. Only when
the key is released, the secondary LCD returns automatically after a few seconds to
the “Hld” indication.
PRESETTABLE TIMER (CLEANING FUNCTION)
A timer is presettable by software to close a
digital insulated contact (terminals #12 on
page 8) after a user programmable time interval with a minimum interval of 1 day (e.g.
for probe cleaning function). The time interval is programmable in number of days through setup code
72.
This output is ON for the period set through setup code 77
(this period can be also changed when the output is ON).
The starting time of the cleaning timer can be set through
setup codes 73, 74, 75 and 76.
45
RS 485 COMMUNICATION
HI 23xy2 and HI 24xy2 are provided with an RS485 port.
RS485 standard is a digital transmission method that allows
long lines connections. Its differential transmission system
makes this standard suitable for data transmission in noisy
environments.
SPECIFICATIONS
The RS485 standard is implemented in EC process meter
controllers with the following characteristics:
Data rate:
1200, 2400, 4800 and 9600 bps
Communication:
Bidirectional Half-Duplex
Line length:
up to 1.2 Km typical with 24AWG cable
Loads:
up to 32 typical.
Internal termination:
none
CONNECTIONS
The connections for the 4-pin RS485 terminal
provided (#1 on page 8) are as follows:
The instrument has no internal line termination. To terminate
the line, an external resistor equal to the characteristic line
impedance (typically 120 ohm must be added at both ends
of the line.
46
Up to 32 units can be connected to the same RS485 line,
with a total line length of up to 1.2 Km using 24AWG cable.
To minimize electromagnetic interference, use shielded or
twisted pair cable to connect the units.
Each EC controller unit is identified by its process ID number
(setup item “01”).
The EC controller acts as a “slave” device: it only answers to
commands received from a “master” device (e.g. an industrial PC) connected to the line.
As additional feature, the controller is also
provided with two pins (5V and 0V) in order to apply the Fail Safe Open Line
protection method. To avoid erroneous
readings in Open-Line conditions, pullup and pull-down resistors should be
connected as shown.
The Fail-Safe resistors are connected only to one unit in the
line, and their value depends on the application and characteristic impedance of the connection cable (typical between
15K and 50K).
The RS485 port is galvanic separated from measuring circuit
and power line. If both analog output and RS485 port are
present, they have the same ground.
SETTING THE SERIAL COMMUNICATION
The external connections for RS 485 communications are
accessible to the left panel (number 1) and the pins are assigned as shown in figure.
Pin 1 is ground, pin 2 is signal line, pin 3 is the inverted
signal line and pin 4 is connected to +5V.
The network will be connected at pin 2 and 3 and cable
shield, if present, will be connected at pin 1
To set the communication parameters the following steps must
be performed:
• Enter the setup procedure by pressing the
SETUP key. After password procedure, enter
the parameter code 01.
47
• Using the arrow keys, set the
controller address. To exit setup,
press CFM key and then LCD key.
Note
In an RS 485 network, each device must have a different
address.
• Select the desired baud rate with the up and down keys
and press the CFM key to store the new settings. Available
baud rates are: 1200, 2400, 4800 and 9600 Bps.
The PC software to communicate with the controllers is
HI92500. Please refer to this product specifications for further informations.
RS485 PROTOCOL
The commands sent to the controller must have the following format:
• 2-digit process ID number
• 3-character command name
• Parameters (variable length, may be null)
• End of command (always the CR character, Hex 0D)
A maximum time interval of 20 ms is allowed between two
consecutive characters of a command. It is possible to send
commands to change the controller settings or to simply
ask information on the controller status. Following is the
complete list of commands available:

SET
Set setup item NN to the PC1C2C3C4C5 value;
NNPC1C2C3C4C5
P=+ if the value is greater than 0, P=- if the value is less
than 0. C1 can be 0 or 1; only C2 C3 C4 C5 can be 0 to 9 or blank
(the command is not available if the controller is in setup
mode)
If the controller is not in control or idle mode and the temperature reading is requested through the TMR command,
the controller answers with the last acquired reading when
it was in control or idle mode.
Following are examples of commands for setup items:
“03SET22+01200<CR>”
This command sets the setup item 22 (relay 2 set point) of a
EC controller, identified by the process ID number 03, to the
+12.00 mS value.
49
The time-out for the first character of the controller answer is
100 milliseconds.
“01SET33+015••<CR>”
This command sets the setup item 33 (max. relay ON time) of
a controller, identified by the process ID number 01, to 15
minutes. The • character means blank.
Once the controller has received a command, it answers
with its 2-digit process ID number followed by:
The minim delay between the last received character and first
character of the answer is 15 ms.
When the controller answers to the ECR, TDR and TMR commands, the reading is sent as ASCII string followed by a
character indicating the control and alarm status of the
controller and info for controller setup modified.
• ACK (Hex 06)
If the controller recognizes the received command and performs the requested task;
This character can assume the following values:
• STX (Hex 02), Data, ETX (Hex 03)
If the received command is a request of data;
• NAK (Hex 15)
• “A”
control and alarm are ON;
• “B”
control and alarm are ON and need update controller setup
(GET commands);
If the received command is not recognized (e.g. The syntax
is wrong);
• “C” control is ON and alarm is OFF;
• CAN (Hex 18)
If the controller cannot answer the request (e.g. the password was not sent, the controller is in setup mode, the setup
item is not available in that model, etc.)
Note
The controller answers to the GET command with the same
data format explained in the SET command.
Following are examples of answers:
• “D”
control is ON and alarm is OFF and need update controller setup (GET commands);
• “N” control and alarm are OFF;
• “M” control and alarm are OFF and need update controller
setup (GET commands);
For example, a possible answer to the TMR command is:
“03<STX>10.7C<ETX>”
“03<STX>+01200<ETX>”
The controller with process ID number 03 says that its current setpoint is +12.00mS.
meaning that the current temperature reading is 10.7°C,
the control action is active and no alarm condition is present
and controller setup is updated on PC.
“01<STX>UE24_21225<ETX>”
The controller with process ID number 01 says that it is a
HI24212 model with firmware release 2.5.
50
51
“03<STX>10.7D<ETX>”
meaning that the current temperature reading is 10.7°C, the
control action is active and no alarm condition is present
and controller setup is modified (must update controller setup
for PC – GET commands for setup items).
If asking for the last calibration data and the controller was
never calibrated, it answers with “0”; e.g.
“01<STX>0<ETX>”.
If the controller was calibrated, it answers with “1” followed
by the calibration data. The Data field of the answer has
the following format:
1<Date><Time><Cell Constant>
• Date:
DDMMYY (e.g. “170400” for April
17,2000)
• Time:
HHMM (e.g. “1623” for 4:23 pm)
• Cell Constant: ASCII string (e.g. “1200”)
The items in the Data field are separated by blanks.
52
STARTUP
During the automatic startup the Real Time Clock (RTC) is
checked to see if a reset occurred since last software initialization. In this case, the RTC is initialized with the default
date and time 01/01/1998 - 00:00. An EEPROM reset
does not affect the RTC settings.
The EEPROM is also checked to see if it is new. If this is the
case, the default values are copied from ROM and then the
device enters normal mode. Otherwise an EEPROM checksum test is performed (the same is performed during EEPROM
selftest procedure).
If checksum is correct, normal mode is entered, otherwise the
user is asked whether the EEPROM should be reset.
If EEPROM reset is requested, default values from ROM are
stored into EEPROM as would happen with a new EEPROM.
Note that EEPROM data is composed of setup data and
calibration data. As for the setup data, the calibration data
is assigned default values when an EEPROM reset occurs.
An uncalibrated meter can perform measurement, though
user is informed that EC or TDS calibration is needed by
means of a blinking “CAL”.
When the last calibration data is required, the “no CAL”
message is displayed if no calibration procedure was performed.
Unlike EC/TDS calibration, the user has no information on
calibration need for other ranges, other than the awareness
that EEPROM was reset.
After an EEPROM reset, all calibrations (input and output)
have to be performed in order to obtain correct measurements.

Probe can be compensated for normal contamination by a
process of recalibration. When calibration can no longer
be achieved, remove the conductivity probe from the system for maintenance.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Inspect the probe and the cable. The cable used for the
connection to the controller must be intact and there must
be no points of broken insulation on the cable.
Connectors must be perfectly clean and dry.
CLEANING PROCEDURE
Rinse the probe with tap water. If a more thorough cleaning
is desired, remove the sleeve and clean the platinum sensors with a nonabrasive cloth or HI7061 cleaning solution.
Reinsert the sleeve in the same direction as before.
Recalibrate the instrument before reinserting the probe in
the system.
