Accessories needed:
Use any calibration solution within the meter's range. The
solution should ideally be close to the samples being mea-
sured. Use for example HI 7030 or HI 8030, 12880 µS/cm
(=12.88 mS/cm) conductivity solution for HI 8033, HI 8633,
HI 8733 and HI 933000 and HI 7032, 1382 mg/L
(=2764 µS/cm) TDS solution for HI 8734
ChecktempC or an accurate thermometer with 0.1°C resolution
(not necessary for HI 8733 and HI 933000)
a small screwdriver.
PROCEDURE FOR HI 8033
Pour sufficient quantity of a conductivity
calibration solution (e.g. HI 7030/
HI 8030) into a beaker to cover the holes
on the probe. If possible, use plastic bea-
kers to minimize any EMC interference.
Immerse the conductivity probe, making
sure that holes are completely submerged,
and the ChecktempC in the solution.
Wait for a couple of minutes for thermal
equilibrium to be reached.
Tap the probe on the bottom, then shake it while rotating to
make sure no air bubbles remain trapped in the sleeve.
Record the temperature of the HI 7030/HI 8030 calibration
solution from the ChecktempC (e.g. 18°C).
Turn the °C knob to 18°C.
Turn the rotary knob to select 19990 µS/cm
range.
Turn the k% calibration knob until the display shows the conduc-
tivity reading at 25°C (see the conductivity vs. temperature chart
on page 18). E.g. @ 25°C, 12880 µS/cm = 12.88 mS/cm.

All subsequent measurements will be compensated to 25°C (77°F).
If you prefer to standardize the temperature compensation to
20°C (68°F) rather than 25°C (77°F), leave the °C knob at 18°C
(if the temperature of your solution is 18°C), adjust the trimmer
to read "11.67 mS" (see the conductivity vs. temperature chart at
page 18). All subsequent measurements will be compensated to
20°C.
The calibration is now complete and the instrument is ready for
use.
The instrument should be re-calibrated at least once a month, or
when the probe or battery is changed.
Note: For more accurate results, it is advisable to use a calibration
solution close to the range to be measured. See the accessories
section on page 23 for a wide selection of conductivity solu-
tions.
PROCEDURE FOR HI 8633
Pour sufficient quantity of a conductivity
calibration solution (e.g. HI 7030/
HI 8030) into a beaker to cover the holes
on the probe. If possible, use plastic bea-
kers to minimize any EMC interference.
Immerse the conductivity probe, making
sure that holes are completely submerged,
and the ChecktempC in the solution.
Wait for a couple of minutes for thermal
equilibrium to be reached.
Tap the probe on the bottom, then shake it while rotating to make
sure no air bubbles remain trapped in the sleeve.
Record the temperature of the HI 7030/HI 8030 buffer solution
from the ChecktempC (e.g. 18°C).
Switch the instrument on by pressing ON/OFF.
Press COND/TEMP to display the temperature.
Adjust the TEMPERATURE knob to display 18°C.
