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.
