PROBE CONNECTION & PREPARATION
To prepare the instrument for use, connect the D.O. probe to the meter
securely by aligning the pins with the socket located on the back of the meter,
pushing the plug in and tightening the threaded ring.
Probes shipped from Hanna Instruments are dry. To hydrate the probe and
prepare it for use, connect it to the meter and proceed as follows:
1. Remove the red and black plastic cap. This cap is
for shipping purposes and can be thrown away.
2. Wet the sensor by soaking the bottom 2½ cm (1")
of the probe in electrolyte (HI 7041S) for 5 min-
utes.
3. Rinse the membrane cap (HI 76407A supplied in
the kit with the meter) with electrolyte solution
while shaking it gently. Refill with clean electrolyte
solution.
4. Gently tap the sides of the membrane cap
with your finger tip to ensure that no air
bubbles remain trapped. To avoid damag-
ing the membrane, do not tap the mem-
brane directly on the bottom.
5. Make sure that the rubber O-ring sits prop-
erly inside the membrane cap.
6. With the sensor facing down, slowly screw
the cap clockwise. Some electrolyte will over-
flow.
When not in use and during polarization (see page 10),
use the protective transparent cap supplied in the kit with
the meter.

If you are not using Hanna Instruments HI 92000 application software,
please find below some additional information to help your connection to the
PC.
SENDING COMMANDS FROM PC
With terminal programs such as Telix
®
and Windows Terminal
®
, it is possible
to remotely control your HI 2400. Use HI 920010 cable to connect the meter
to the PC, start the terminal program and set the communication options as
follows: 8, N, 1, no flow control.
Command Types
To send a command to the D.O. meter the scheme is:
<DLE> <command> <CR>
This line makes the computer send a Data Link Escape character, the com-
mand expressed as a number or a 3-character sequence and a CR character.
Note: Windows Terminal
®
and all the other terminal programs that support
the ANSI escape sequence, represent the DLE character by the string
‘^P’ and the CR character by the string ‘^M’. E.g. the line
‘^PPPM^M’ sets the range to ppm.
Commands not requiring an answer from the meter:
PPM sets the range to ppm D.O.
PER sets the range to % D.O.
